Six Zero Zero by andycoleborn

Six Zero Zero

Wow.. this is photo 600...! Can't believe it's been 600 days that I've taken a photo every single day... Have to say, whilst the first year dragged, this second year has flown by..

Not totally happy with today's shot, would have preferred something a little more fitting with the milestone, but hey ho... there you go..

This old guy was listening / watching a live radio broadcast from BBC London this evening.. I was taking pics as my boss was being interviewed along with a couple of MPs about the impact of the Olympics on East London..

Used the HDR option from picnik on this one. I'm still not sure whether I like HDR or not...
superb candid capture Andy, not sure about HDR myself, particularly the picnik version...

Happy 600th Photo :o) I like this a lot!

What is it you do for work? Ive always wanted to ask :o)

oh and congrats on the milestone, have to say I'm finding my second year a bit harder
June 16th, 2011  
Congratulations on the milestone! Your photos are always interesting!

Like you, I'm not sure what I should be expecting with HDR...I somehow was expecting more than what I'm getting, but I'm enjoying the experimentation.

us photographers are never happy, its good mate. Reckon pp is coming for this. Also true hdr consists of 3 exposures so its not full proper hdr. Never the less hdr is well over ratfullo this aint too bad. Hdr ends up being too cartoony

looks like a pic from the war..
hdr is a whole load of extra stuff..i can see the appal and i'm having a mess about cos got no ipod got no apps..

Great crisp photo....love his expression...sorta grumpy-like.

Like portraits of old folks, the older the better... which is totally weird for me because I can't hardly stand to see myself grow older.

Ah wonderful shot,

What an impressive feat! well done!
and this is a great shot! I am also ambivalent about HDR - sometimes it gives gorgeous results, but at others its not good - depends on the subject I think!

@rich57 think getting married later in the year is the real reason time is flying.. although this street photography lark seems to have given me a lift... @Weezilou @jpgiorgio @azza_l @sleepdozer57 cheers guys.. yeah, HDR is ok once ina while, this freebie on picnik isn't great, but all I've got to play with... Aaron mate, get yourself an iphone... you know you want to :-)
@judifff Just a Comms Manager in social housing... nothing exciting I'm afraid...

Andy - this is fantastic. The first thought that came to mind was Karsh. Love the detail and expression in the face.
June 17th, 2011  
Congrats on 600! :) This photo really shows how talented you are. This is just amazing. The details in this photo a captured so perfectly.
June 17th, 2011  
Heading for the pp for sure cause this is fricking AWESOME way to go for reaching 600 pretty impressive
June 17th, 2011  
Great portrait. I really like it.
June 17th, 2011  
What a face, somebody shoud have interviewed him, I bet he's got stories to tell. Congrats on 600. Sometimes it does seem the shots you do on the milestone days are not what you think they will be. And I know what you mean about HDR, sometimes I think it has its place other times no matter how much I play with it I end up thinking "ugh".
June 17th, 2011  
great shot - what a great old guy. Wow 600 is a hefty milestone - I was struggling after 200, still feels like miles til 300!!
June 17th, 2011  
Thanks guys for your constant support and wonderful comments :-)
June 17th, 2011  
Happy 600. :D This is a great photo - love the detail of and lighting on his face.
June 18th, 2011  
What a face you captured. I really like it. Not a big HDR fan, but this editing is not too bad. Happy 600th!
June 18th, 2011  
Congrats on reaching #600! That's so far away for me (if I ever get there...).
Are you already considering a third year?
June 19th, 2011  
Congratulations on 600 photos AND a very nice portrait - of street people.
