Street Photography, Ely Market, Bank Holiday Sunday

August Bank Holiday in Ely. A bit of street photography around the International Food Market. 'Shooting from the hip' - actually from the chest, a technique I learned from a friend, John Bulpitt.

1. 40mm full frame equivalent focal length, (i.e. 20mm on the Olympus OMD E-m1 mkii)
2. f/8 and above
3. Pre focus about 5 meters away in front of me
4. Camera round neck
5. Thumb on shutter release

Most shots are cropped to correct camera angle. I got about 10% success rate, i.e. in focus and no camera shake. This blog represents the photos I like.

Granddaughter Grace - I think this was the main highlight of the day for her

Bank Holiday Saturday in Ely

On the Bank Holiday weekend at the beginning of May, Sue and I decided to talk a walk round Ely. We started off with a short 3 mile walk around the Ely Country Park. Then back into Ely where there was a carnival atmosphere.

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was a Medieval Joust. They really looked as they were having real fun considering it turned into a wet day. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There where also town criers from around the area having a competition.
