This Photo takes out a Top Photo on a Gurushots Speed Challenge
Haven't written in a while, but just wanted to say this photo just won a Speed Challenge on GuruShots as the top photo. The idea is to show how a blend of elements along a street and some interesting movement (tram) adds to the primary subject which is the guy playing guitar. Of late on a Saturday I like to head down to Melbourne to take photos, but at the end of the day I have learned that the Buskers at the intersection of Little Collins St and Swanston St are fun to listen to and if they are good they attract a nice sized crowd in the little ampitheatre there. Also they usually are receptive to taking song requests, so its a bit of fun (This guy did a great job of Michael Buble for example and had a wide range of songs). Anyway, this gives an idea of something that works as a popular photo in Street Photography. Now last night was the first time in the last 10 years AC/DC concert here at the MCG. Managed to get a ticket to attend. Wow, what an amazing concert in such a HUGE Stadium. Managed to get some very interesting street photos again as well as Bagpipers gathered to perform a Guiness World Record for # of Bagpipers playing for the song "Its a Long Way to the Top if you want to Rock and Roll - Original Video created in 1975 (50 yrs ago) on Swanston Street, Melbourne. Lots of AC/DC fans on the move in the City. Great Street Photography Photo Ops.
