Would they ever expect to be surrounded by 4 unknown photographers wandering around Hyde Park with lenses just as long (if not longer) than what their official freelance photog had on their camera?







A little play with PP on this one:



All taken with the 300 f4, 1/200 - 1/250, f4 @ ISO800

Sweet work Yi-p!!!
I like what you've done with the last image here...
Lovely bokeh in all images too!

Nice

Did you speak to them and offer them some images?

Didnt have a chance, they were so busy surrounded by photographers...

Yup... two Canon girls chimping on what looked like 20 or 30D's...

That last one is a gem... you just need to track the couple down and sell them it. They'd be fools not to buy it.

Or poor.

I find all these poorly framed.

They all have to much empty head room and the first two are off centre.

Thanks for pointing that out, will keep this in mind on my next shots

Andrew,

You raise a most important point, and one that I cannot emphasise too strongly when showing people some of the elements of making an image: take a moment or two before squeezing the shutter release and cast your eye - critically - around the whole viewfinder to see the whole image that you are about to capture.

Empty headspace, or off-center subjects, such as you've highlighted, should be evident, and able to be corrected.

Likewise such things as trees and telegraph poles growing out of the heads of your subjects.

A person walking in the background?

An ill-placed hand?

Thank you, Andrew, for highlighting this most important issue.

Here is another one from the day,

Still plenty of headroom, but I believe this provides a good story telling background
