A difficult one this.
The exposure range here was quite wide. An added challenge was the fact I had to battle cars, so it was a case of setting the exposure, taking a rough guess at the focusing distance, and then waiting for a gap in the traffic to take the shot. I managed three, one exposed right in the middle, one over and one under. This was the middle exposure and was the best of the three, though the composition – and the focusing – is slightly off. Still, something to try again. Maybe!
Taken on Briggate, Leeds. The cleanup had begin in earnest after the Queen’s Jubilee visit. Guess they needed to use the Olympic decor as well.
A shout out to Lily Wight’s Arcade of Arts & Arcana where July is all things puppet related.
This was taken on the same day the Queen came to Leeds, just a couple of weeks ago. By the time I got there the clean up was well under way. This guy was performing with his friend outside The Core shopping centre. He was drawing quite a crowd and it took me three attempts to get a clear shot, but he was quite happy for his photo to be taken.
