Bath Christmas market

[adrian jordin]

Went down to the Bath Christmas Fair last week and finally got a chance to process the results..or at least some of them. I may have to go back at some point, since what I thought was going to be my favourite shot didn't work and I want to try again.

Enjoy...

These were difficult to get a decent photo of... they were light enough to move in the breeze hence the blur...hope they have some left if I get back there...

Nice set Adrian. The man among the stars is my favourite. Really well framed.

I love the baubles shot #4, and the star lights cop shot - go wide!

 

[Brian Moore]

Wonderful color in these, Adrian. The first one, the vases, is really nicely composed in my opinion. I like the one of the man in theb stars too. And the gold baubles as well. All very nice!

Thanks for the comments, guys...

This was a very busy market and you couldn't always get a clear shot of the stalls as a whole, so it was a case of picking out the details.
I've also got some shots of the stanger people that were around to post later...

There are times when I wish someone would invent an in-camera radar that lets you know when someone is about to walk in front of you....

A long lens helped but I could have done with a faster one....

Adrian, I've looked at these about 5 times now needed to before I made a comment, I like them all but the first is the one I keep coming back to, just worked out why, it's not because it is better than the rest, or the less appealing its simply because you have put a border round it, amazing really to think that can make a difference but for me it does....


They are all good though, and taking the bordered one out I like the Ballballs even with the motion blur

Thanks Kev,

I'm trying to remember what prompted me to apply a border to that one.
I quite often do for B&W, I did read somewhere that it can help with monochrome images...I think I was just not satisfied with that first pic and tried various things looking for what would round it off.

Glad you enjoyed them..
