Title: Colourful Afternoon
Post by: Summicron on June 16, 2010, 08:32:15 PM
Here we go, when I set off from home I usually wait for the bus into town, on the corners of Wyre Crescent and Birch Hall Avenue, today was typical, I always sit on this banking under the tree shade, people think I'm not so well, and ask if I'm ok, that usually starts a nice conversation, usually with an explanation that I've normally got a lot of discomfort in my legs, and then we part company with smiles and waves, today I decided a shot of the view from my resting place would be nice, I do like the way the birch tree frames the road, well I got on the bus and went into town.

And rounding the corner at the top of Railway Road, this is what I saw from the bus window, so I went into town and walked up railway road to photograph these children's fishing nets on display outside a pound shop.

Now before I went up Railway Road, I happened to notice a nice grouping of people waiting for the bus, but through the cameras screen I couldn't see a thing because of the  very strong backlighting, I just shot hoping for the best and what I got I was pleased with, there's nothing but ladies in that bus queue, and they were quite colourful set against that yellow bus.

Now, that is what I call a passionate photographer. Excellent use of photogtraphy to express your vision and thoughts. I love the second frame.
