@sniper: like the dancing elderly but feel the pillar is kinda blocking

Yeah.. was considering cropping it. I wanted to frame it between the 2 pillars but the uncle and aunties dances surprisingly fast doh.gif

This is one photo that I have to say duh  doh.gif  doh.gif !! I really love the posture of the man, but I didn't realize I caught the hand on the right. Tried a second shot but by then he noticed me already and changed his pose. Arrrrgh  vmad.gif !!! Also so many people watching.

In street  photography can you say "Encik boleh tepi sikit tak? Wa mau ambil gambar!"  hmm.gif

Do you think the hand really distracting. Tried to crop but too much gone. Spoil the aspect ratio. This is the full frame as scanned.  Very minimal pp. Auto only I think and default unsharp mask.

Or I can say that the hand gives context to the picture, telling a story, meaning there is a crowd watching the game. Lame or not?

Any additional comments appreciated. What about color balance? Ok or not?

p/s - Also a bit of scratch on the neg. Lazy to pp.

Love the posture too... Maybe can frame using the crowd instead... like this

Sniper,

Nicely framed there. I also got umbrella ... but no frame one  cry.gif . The lady with glasses almost touching the edge of the picture  doh.gif . I should have pan to the right a bit. But then I saw this lady in blue on the left  hmm.gif . Can counterbalance  flex.gif ? Lame reasoning  sweat.gif ? Appreciate comments. Anyways in this encounter, I didn't take a second shot.

Aiyah ... Wont Spoil Your Hair La!

Get a gf not at the moment ler, no money oh~
career not stable, no car, *sigh*  cry.gif

thats why Taiwan, Hong Kong, & China not in my travel list~  sweat.gif
either i get a gf in the future then travel, or travel alone with adventure or go there get a "personal guide"  tongue.gif

I dunno about you guys but I prefer to shoot alone.

No pressure on where to go and even if wanna camp at one spot to wait for sun to break cloud cover or for someone to pass by... also no problem.


This one from my Shanghai trip... October 1st is China's National Day (founding of the PRC) and one of the most important holidays there which means its peak season for internal tourist.

A senior couple at awe with modern Shanghai.
