Street entertainers are just made for photographers... like they were put there especially just for me.

Captured wide open with my “Sweetheart” Pentax-A*85mm F1.4... with a bit of bokeh, backlight and a wee audience were just an added bonus.

I agree with what you say about street entertainers. This is a super photo

Aye as I shot this one, I knew in my minds eye it had to be 16:9 ratio and for once it worked out.

Which also happens to be my preferred format for imagery at the moment.

It would have been nice if you took half a step back then, he's missing a little headroom for my taste. Otherwise, really beautiful work by you and your lady.

Your wish is my command... perhaps I was being a little boisterous with the cropping.

While I like both, that 2nd one does seem to work just a little better for me as well. Great shot!

**ToddK** · 11-27-2019, 06:24 AM

This is an outstanding photo! You are definitely the master of photographing street scenes.

**manishved** · 11-27-2019, 07:15 AM

Awesome shot. You got the important subjects in focus within the shallow DIF at 1.4

To coin a phrase “f8 and be there”... but this case “f1.4 and be there”.

That's where “Sweetheart” Pentax-A*85mm F1.4 works her magic.
