Grafton Street
-
Inspired by a shot taken by Herr Sieben this time last year.
Mine’s a different take on a similar scene… but not in the same ballpark as Herr Sieben’s which was way better.
I like it John the rush of people the light and the wet ground all add atmosphere well taken.

I think this is an amazing shot, excellent job. It really sums up Grafton street to me. I really like the fact the guy with the sign is stationary.
Really nicely done.
I haven’t seen Herr Sieben’s but if it’s a lot better than your one it must be out of this world cause your shot is really awesome, well done
Great Christmas atmosphere here. I really like the effect of the wet cobbles.
Lovely shot and the still man on the right really makes this shot.
Nice one
deeI’d agree with the above – great image, the movement suits the atmosphere, etc. His lordships image I assume was taken up one of them step ladder attachments as it was from a higher perspective. The muted colour – design or factual representation? My expectation of this sort of scene is colour but I can understand muting too.

I was there-
just behind you to the right,
and up a bit-
You might have just made it into the bottom of the frame-Sheltered from the throng by an armoured car collecting the cash from HMV-
I do remember it was a lot more packed than this-camera up the top of the tripod-
no steps this time-
your Choclatyness-The muted colour, to refer directly to the previous comment-
is it cooler toned?I shot my one on Daylight film, just as the light was going from the sky,
so the artificial light is quite warm-
the future’s so bright,
you gotta wear shades-
sorta thing-Whereas this year, your picture doesn’t exactly fill me with as much cheer,
if you know what I’m trying to say-
and mostly down to your colour palette-Good to see you went back there-
thanks for the mention-j
What sort of settings would you have used? I like the ghostly disappearance of the
people.Thanks everyone for your comments.

The shot was taken in low light, thus requiring a slow shutter speed, and this creates the ghostly disappearance you mention (ISO 100, F16, 5 seconds)
His Lordship and Chocolaty
All the originals were extremley warm looking, as JB says “artificial light is quite warm”, a bit too warm for my taste.
It had rained, it was a little murky and there was an element of sadness about the bloke holding the sign, so I did play about with the White Balance and Saturation.
JB’s was bursting with lovely colours so in an effort to try and do something the slightest bit different I made mine a bit more murky.
That was me behind the armoured car. Why not say hello Herr Sieben?
Thanks again.
