Shelter from the Storm

GRD II, f4, 1/200, ISO 200, RAW

Took this picture today after lunch. The weather was a bit funny today and it constantly changed between sunny and rainy all day long. Found the scene quite funny since it was not really raining at that point.
First I wanted to use this picture in b&w but due to the green in the umbrella and leaves behind I think it does work better in color. I cropped it to the 1:1 format and changed the contrast.

  1. Really like your street stuff..you allways seem to be in the right place at the right time!!

    Up to know I have been very unsuccesfull with "street" photography. I´m allways late, clumsy and to be honest don´t feel too interested about the people that surround me..But I do get moved by nice people/street stuff. Maybe I´m too lazy..

    This one made me chuckle..

    Keep them coming!!

  2. Thanks again Erik, glad you like my street stuff.

    Street photography is difficult in the beginning and I think if I would not have bought the GRD I would not have ended up takig that many street shots if at all. Think some cameras get you in a different mindset and the operation of the cameras helps in this situation. I notice than when I use the GX or LC1 my shots turn out different.

    I am now more aware of my surroundings and the people around me and always look out for a great shot. This means I never go out without having the camera on and ready to shoot.
