Odd acoustics

The annual Tramlines festival took place in Sheffield last weekend and so I went for a walk around the town centre on the Sunday morning. I ended up taking very few photos of subjects directly related to the festival, but there were a number of other related events taking place around the town centre too. As I walked through Barker’s Pool I saw a bloke sat on the City Hall steps who I though might make for a nice subject. As I was sizing up the composition I heard the sound of approaching music and turned around to see a pair of decidedly unusual bicycle-mounted instruments approaching, so I took some photos of them instead.

Four chaps outside the ballroom entrance at Sheffield City Hall. It always surprises me when I look at a scanned negative and see that I’ve been “caught” taking the photograph. I think I was so engrossed in trying to catch the moment when the two guys embraced, that I didn’t notice the other two fellas watching me take the photograph.

The photo has been cropped – the original has a dark doorway off to the right of the frame, but the image looks better with the crop.
