For sometime I've been admiring other people's Daily Photo Galleries. Not just the photos themselves, but the commitment of actually taking a photo worthy of upload every day. No doubt some will end up being quite mundane, but maybe that is OK, daily life can be pretty mundane after all! But hopefully the commitment will push me to think more about my photographs, getting out of my comfort zone of landscapes, and make me look at the world through different eyes.
19.7.08 - Now I bet this one came as a bit of a surprise didn't it :)
It is the Lincoln Water Festival this weekend, which attracts all sorts of wonderful sights and sounds. These guys are pretty regular visitors actually, so when they strut their stuff on Lincoln High Street many people just carry on their merry way as though they weren't there. I had a few minutes to spare so took some shots. It is difficult to catch the energy of their performance, not least because they attract a huge crowd and people kept standing infront of me. There are three of them, they play instruments, using backing tapes to create a really atmospheric sound, and they really are a colourful sight on a blustery day.
This is an early post for me, and I might get some more shots of the festival later. I'm away at a conference tomorrow, so might have to resort to another pic from today as tomorrow's Daily, but I haven't given up hope quite yet.
The blur is in pp to convey some movement while keeping the face sharp, in case you hadn't worked that out yourselves :)
