Making A Wish

From our walk along the Marina Bay Sands waterfront a couple of weeks ago… I am not sure whether the designer of the Rain Oculus knew that people would instinctively turn it into a giant wishing well!
Candid, people photography

Buskers make good candid photographic subjects in general. This particular one at Radcliffe Square in Oxford was in the perfect place since the colour of the surrounding walls and environment complimented the warm skin tones of the busker and his blue shirt perfectly. I had to bump up the ISO to 800 to freeze the action as he played on his violin. This created a nice grainy effect which I thought was appropriate for the journalistic mood of the shot.

We have experienced the most bizarre weather in our one-year’s stay in the UK, from the hottest September since 1895 to the wettest April on record. The above was taken after a hail shower after a sunny morning in York a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully for the stall owner, the art pieces were laminated and waterproof!
