[Capture Challenge] Charge your battery and take some photos

I really like that photo, especially how you didn’t try to over brighten it.

I like the slightly more graphically abstract nature of the third shot. Somehow it hangs together better, visually.

A fun snap from yesterday: the plastic crow, intended to scare away pigeons, found a new friend.

Two shots from the ‘Middle Age market’ today (fantasy-loving/role-playing folk in Uster).
We did actually drink from the coffee, and survived!

The “coffee speciality” I drank was called “Dragon’s Blood”. No wonder there are no more dragons – doesn’t look healthy:

Crikey! Looks like dragon’s something; not sure about dragon’s blood. :wink:

I love events like this. I have a few penciled into my calendar for this year. I really want to get to a few cosplay meets — some amazing opportunities there. And, of course, there’s the annual Elvis Festival.

The trouble is, I’m very shy when it comes to photographing strangers. If they are on a stage, fine, but otherwise, I’m always worried about how they would react. This is from a previous such event, from 2018:

Nice! I really like that shot — seriously; I love it!

I’m not shy at all. MY problem is my confidence in getting a good photo — that’s what holds me back. I’m going to do some street portraiture this year — that involves just walking up to complete strangers that I find interesting and asking them for a photo. As long as they don’t ask to see the result, I should be fine. :wink:

And that’s her partner, dressed for the children’s show during the day:

Streetlife starts to come out in earnest, nearly 20°C today. Tomorrow back to 11°…

Cinema Ostertor with the “Heroes Bar” and a really old stationary shop.

That second shot is nice. Good sky, interesting view, nice angle.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Nice Land Rover… a 110! Mid-80s I think - definitely pre-Defender by the door handles and sliding windows. (takes off LR enthusiast hat again) :wink:
