Photobombed
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. 🙂

The looming wheel
Looking east along Market Place in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK. The famous Crooked Spire can be seen in the distance.

Just browsing
Several shots on this roll of Neopan 400 were affected by light leaks (the film had now wound tightly onto the take-up spool, and so some light got in when I opened the camera and removed the film. As a result I’ve had to crop some of the shots (including the one of some market stalls below). Not ideal, but at least they’re not completely written off – although one or two of them still show the leaks a bit even after cropping.

Ballroom blitz?
Outside Sheffield City Hall in the rain, people queue to enter the ballroom.

Breaking the rules
One of the rules of composition is the “rule of space”. This states that there should be more space in front of an object moving through the frame than behind it. I’ve broken that rule here, but (to my eyes at least), I think the shot works well nonetheless. The fact that the man is closer to exiting the scene than entering it seems to add a sense of urgency (which is also helped by the motion blur).
But what do I know. 🙂

Vape
It was a pretty cold day when I took the shot and the temperature meant that the clouds of vapor from this man’s e-cigarette were all the more prominent. I took one shot with his head in a cloud of smoke, and then this one in the midst of emission.

Shadow man
I obviously misjudged the metering on this shot and underexposed the photo. However, I think it’s another one of those cases where a happy accident produces fortuitous results. The deep shadow between the houses emphasises the man and the high contrast does the same for his shadow on the wall.
