Critique Welcomed My Portrait Of Mickey Bubbles

[Brian Moore]

Its the closest I could get I'm afraid.

Olympus XA and Kodak Ultramax 400 film. Stopped the aperture down to about f11 I think, and used the kneepod to steady the camera.

Mickey Bubbles! As i call him ...

A great shot, despite the size of the subject! What are the horizontal blue lines?

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Hamish.

Blue lines: Temporary and changeable illumination on the facia of the two balconies.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I thought that must be it ... Wasn't sure if they were lasers ... But it old Mickey Bubbles doesn't do lasers to my knowledge

Thats plenty close enough for my taste Brian - very atmospheric shot though

I like this Brian. A nice idea to shoot into the light light and I like the 'texture' of the audience. And then the tiny, tiny figure!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Well I think I'm funny!

Thanks, Pete. I shot about a roll and half with the XA. This was one of the very few worth posting. I was hoping specifically for that lighting effect so I feel quite good about it. Thanks again, Pete.

Hey,...just noticed someone changed the title! Gee I wonder who?!

 

[Pete Askew]

Friday night, a couple of beers and everyone's a comedian eh?!

 

[Pete Askew]

The youth of today!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Beers? ...
Whisky! I bought some fancy stuff!

 

[Pete Askew]

That explains a lot. Post-retail euphoria!

 

[Pete Askew]

Mixed with alcohol!
