Great story about your gondolier! My friend and I were in Rome once, and I saw a woman hanging clothes from her window and I took a shot and then hid my camera, and then my friend took a shot and the lady scolded her... I got away without the scolding. My friend got the woman with her hands up in the air yelling at her, the better photo.
I like the B/W edit... it is quite a colorful photo to begin with... that really brings the essence of the photo to the Man in Russia. I didn't even think of that , thank you! |

Thank you so much Mary Ann... I love looking at street photography, and I enjoy trying to make those kinds of photos... It takes a lot of patience, I usually get frustrated waiting lol. I will definitely try to bring down the brightness. |

Thanks Ruth, that is a great story about the nun and her students. "Rules" are that we can take photos of people in public places, but I do struggle with invading privacy. As I answered Kieu-Hanh's question above, he is probably with one of the Olympic teams, not sure if he is Russian or Belarusian, or from where. I have US olympic swag with RUSSIA in big letters too, it's what you wear at the Olympics to show your support. Very fun experience. |

thanks Kieu-Hanh, this was taken while I was in Sochi, Russia, working the Winter Olympics. We were walking around the town of Sochi and I believe that building is a post office. There was a cute little square in front of it and a lot of people were sitting around enjoying the winter sun. There were some Olympic decorations and kiosks in the area also. He could be a member of an Olympic team or delegation. There are always people from other countries wearing their team uniforms or merchandise. When we wear our NBC swag, people always come up to us to trade pins and hats. It's one of the fun parts of working those types of events. You never know who'll you can see on the streets. |

Thanks LuAnn, I appreciate your comments. No, he wasn't posed, I didn't even realize he was looking straight at the camera until afterwards. It is too bright, I did try to take it down some, I'll have to try a different edit. I like Michael's B/W edit at the bottom of the page. |

I agree that the cropping was key. I had wanted to get a photo of these white canopy coverings for a while, but the composition was challenging. Still not sure that I really like this one. I believe I was only about 100 feet in the air. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get that info on the new drone. It is in a different place on the old drone and I'm still looking for it. |

right, I don't hate it either. You are correct on the angle for how the buildings line up. I didn't notice that. Just get a pair of trimmers for that one branch, lol.

You know this is my favorite format, the top down look. I especially love the shadows and the crispness of the white, and the symmetry. Nicely done! I want to go look for one of these type of shots now. Too snowy and cold here in PA right now! |

Nice clean image. I agree with Don, you don't need to fly high for a good shot. I would like it to be just a bit to the right to clear the tree from the side of the building. But still a great image. |

Great capture and I like the crop... all the elements in the photo work well together. Maybe it's just me, but the house feels a little bit leaning down to the left. |

Very nice warm image, your post processing really brought out the sun on that ridge line. The horizon line feels just a bit skewed downhill left... that's the only note I would make. Sorry my comments are so late in the month! |
