Like the theme, should see some interesting entries. Now i have to go wandering again.

Bart · 08-07-2011, 12:52 AM

This could indeed give interesting entries.
Bit difficult for me since I rarely shoot people. :ugh:
I'll see if I can come up with something.
And I'll enjoy the other entries, of course.

kyteflyer · 08-07-2011, 05:53 AM

ooooh.... street shooting coming up and I don't do people much either. This is a good challenge

G.T · 08-08-2011, 02:54 AM

I'm not the only one

It seems we'll all have to dig some fresh shots.

Bart · 08-08-2011, 11:35 AM

Seems I was able to produce some suitable pictures, anyway

People that work in tourism.
Both are from a visit to Bruges in Flanders, Belgium.

Coachman

Tour guide

Both pictures are taken with Panasonic FX500 and converted in LR
(grain was added

)

I like your first, which could be though of being far older.

Bart · 08-08-2011, 11:52 AM

Thanks, G.T

That's what I was aiming for.

andreaffm · 08-08-2011, 02:55 PM

I love Belgium for some reason (the chocolate mostly).
Now I can't wait what people bring back from the streets

ivoire · 08-09-2011, 04:02 PM

Nice BnW Bart.... excellent subjects. Went wandering today, so here's entry #1, Painting, taken with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS6

ivoire · 08-09-2011, 04:48 PM

Entry #2, Shove Off, also taken with the Lumix

ivoire · 08-09-2011, 04:54 PM

Entry #3, Struttin' To It, is how she gets it done. Also taken with the Lumix

Immunogirl · 08-09-2011, 09:57 PM

I like Bart's first photo an awful lot, the mural painting photo, and I really don't think I can compete with those pink cowboy boots.

All photos taken with a pentax optio w60.

Lobster boat in Maine:

Gordon Brown teaching a kayak lesson under the Skye Bridge in Scotland:

Harvest time:

Not a submission, but I find it funny - Guess what the old men I kept seeing in her pedal cab were looking at? Hint - it wasn't the Key West scenery.

G.T · 08-10-2011, 04:35 AM

I'd bet the guy, he was looking at a chick walking by

ivoire · 08-10-2011, 10:18 AM

immunogirl... your kayak lesson is a great image and the lobster boats a classic. as for the pedal cab woman, weren't they looking at the santa hat???

the boots were a surprise. bright sunny day, everyone in shorts, tees, sneakers, flip-flops and then these walked past. had to get a quick shot.... resistance is futile
