Sweet, as usual Andy
Interesting subject, very nice composition and perfectly exposed. I would expect no less

How are all of our friends in London? More importantly, how's the food?

So are you getting any work done, in between shoots? It must be nice having a job the sends you all over the world and let's you shoot all those pics. That's the job I want when I grow up

Yeah, you're right. There's very little chance that I will ever grow up. I'm sort of a Peter Pan trapped in a dumpy old man's body :lol

Nice shot
Did you stand there and wait for some people to walk by and get in the perfect spot to balance your composition?

And then there were no other bodies cluttering up the background. ISO 400 - so no flash, just natural light, huh? Tripod? RAW of course. Anyway, nice exposure. Say Andy, I see you're in London again. What do you do for a living? If I may ask. You sure travel around a lot. Great way to see the world, but you can't be home a whole lot of the time. Has plusses and minuses, I guess. How about the food? Did you have anything good? We've been talking about your food shots. More please.
Thanks for sharing.

hiya snappy

thanks for the kind comments!

yes, iso 400, no flash - handheld. i stood there for about five minutes, taking three pics in all. this was the last one... yeah, i waited for these people to walk by. i had two with people walking at me, and i didn't like them as much. shot in raw, yes... i only shoot in raw, it gives me total control over the exposure and white balance.

believe it or not, i'm a corporate type

i'm the head of worldwide field operations for a software company, we provide analytic software to wall street firms. it's really just an excuse for me to travel about and shoot, really

plus it really helps that the ceo of the firm, to whom i report, is a photographer also....

food? i'm on the south beach diet, baby! :puke1
