Street Photography

Our last Photo Club competition theme was ‘Street Photography’ - which was by design since a major festival just ended. The festival was ‘Harvest Jazz & Blues’ – lots of music and street performers, and of course people to enjoy the event.
I went downtown on a few occasions to enjoy what I could, and was fortunate to see some talented skateboarders, and of course get some photos.
This photo got me first place in the ‘Street Photography’ competition at the last club meeting!

Details: Canon 50D, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS, f/4.5 @ 1/1000sec. @ 195mm, ISO800

Its Harvest time!

Harvest Jazz and Blues that is! An awesome festival that lasts almost a week here in Fredericton, and runs in early September. We have a few days left. It has been going on for years and is probably THE event of the year here. It is growing all the time and attracts many people from far and wide, and many talented performers.

Every year there is a fundraising breakfast to raise money for the High School band programs. The kids perform and so do a few major artists. All it requires is that you have a few dollars for breakfast and can get up early.

I don’t know the exact details but Matt Andersen (photo right) has been a long time supporter, and plays often. He played this morning, and so did Andy Brown (photo left).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had to get to work and could not stay for it all, but I liked what I heard! Great job!

Both photos were taken with: Canon 50D, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS, ISO 1250, around f/2.8, and about 1/250 sec.

Cheers!
