Just a staircase that I spotted while wandering around town the other weekend.

Out into the world
Another photo from the Canon Sure Shot Telemax, although this time I do recall taking the shot. A good job really, given that I only took it a few weeks ago.
I thought the composition was a good one when I made the photograph, but again I’m very pleased with the way the little compact has handled the scene. I’d used up the roll of film in my F80 when I took this, and would have missed the shot if I’d not had the Telemax in my pocket.

St. Paul’s traffic
It’s tempting to avoid venturing out for photography on rainy days, but it’s often very worthwhile. The reflections and sheen of the surface water can add whole new dimensions to a scene.
I’m not sure that the water adds that much to this shot beyond a bit of haze, some puddles and a vague reflection of the two cars. but I think it still does its bit.

Big Wheel
There’s another photo of this already in the blog from a week or two back, although that one was shot on my Mess-Ikonta (albeit taken on the same day). That one was a wider shot from further down one of the streets approaching the market square, as opposed to this one that was a bit more up close and personal.

An unknown device
A trader demonstrates some sort of device to customers at his market stall. I’m not sure of its purpose, but it appears to be a bell of some sort.

Another shot from the flea market. I’d spotted this guy on my initial walk-around and wondered about getting a candid shot, but as I approached the stall I saw another photographer ask him if he could take a portrait. After he’s moved away I decided to fo the same, and the guy was good enough to oblige. Un-noticed by me at the time, the original photographer had walked around the next row of stalls and gave me a direct glance as I took my shot. Two for the price of one. 🙂
