90: Street Photography ++ Self Portrait

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was a bad day photographically, including a visit by the local police, again. But Today, WOW. I headed over to a small community for their annual fall festival to shoot some “street”; Lots of folks and lots of harsh mid day lighting. In 4 hours I made nearly 200 captures, about half of them the lighting was too harsh. Out of the remaining images about 25 were not all that bad. And I got 5 or 6 that are really good, at least for this old man. In short I felt sort of like this:

Big Horse Laugh

OK, OK my “friends” are saying “Wrong end of the horse,” but that is not the self portrait. Here is the self portrait and it should prove to all my friends that I am not a horse’s pa-toot.

Me in a 50’s Style Hot Rod

So there y'all, have a nice day.

THE Elmo

Note to Froggy: It is a large, bright orange, squarish, irregularly shaped object in the upper left not a small, round, bright orange object in the lower right. This makes for a much better composition plus it has a spectacularly fabulous point of interest in the lower left sweet spot.

  1. Whoa! Love the self portrait in the hot rod.
    This is definately one of my favorites. You should have named it ZZ Top. I converted it to B&W in PS but I couldn't make it pop as it does in color. You seem more prominent in the B&W version which I like but the overall shot isn't as good.

    I want this in an 8x10. The size posted is less than 4x3.

    Very nice - can't figure out where the tripod is located...

  2. No tripod. Camera is hand held at arms length below (Too lazy to get down to aim shot). Reflection was an accident.
