Mr. Cool a la Lensbaby by graemestevens

Mr. Cool a la Lensbaby

So...I never 'do' Street Photography. I think it's because I hate people and have an overwhelming desire to really shoot a lot of them, but this morning we went to the monthly market at East End Beach and this guy was being too cool for his own good. It's also a bit more practice with the Lensbaby.
well it's about bloody time - out having fun were we? well I like it!

So pleased that you have survived your hangover. I'm now going out for dinner so no doubt will be suffering a similar fate tomorrow.

This is a great shot. At least I agree with you. There are a lot of stupid people out there. Try going through traffic in an emergency vehicle. It should be legal for us to mow down anyone who gets in our way.

Cool lensbaby photo!
October 19th, 2014  
That actually made me LOL :D Cool shot of Cool Dude :)
October 19th, 2014  
Very nice lensbaby shot.....but the people, so many of them....and, babies! Cool dude, though...
October 19th, 2014  
@panthora Thanks very much - I think the only reason they all survived is because there we so many of them...I just didn't know where to aim first!
@lisatown Thanks very much and I'm pleased to have delivered a laugh :)
@overalvandaan Thanks very much :)
@karlow75 I like your thinking. I drive a lot for work and the amount of times I see people not getting out of the way for emergency vehicles...not to mention just driving lick right twats...oh, and thanks very much :)
@gigiflower Enjoy your meal...hope you have a ripping hangover ;)
@newbank I did! Broke into a sweat but I got there!
@annied Yes, I was ;) And thanks awfully :)

I love street photography, but using lens baby looks very challenging, if selective focusing is required in that split of second before receiving a finger for sneaking a shot. Practice is the way to go.

@yaorenliu It's difficult to be quick with a Lensbaby, but I need all the practice I can get and this guy didn't seem to mind!

If you'd joined him you could have had a guitar breaking session to help overcome the dark thoughts: controlled aggression can be very therapeutic!

Love the Lensbaby effect :)
October 19th, 2014  
Good to see you mixing with people! Haha, good shot.
October 19th, 2014

October 19th, 2014  
That's one cool looking guy. Nice shot with the lensbaby.
October 19th, 2014  
This is very cool
October 19th, 2014  
Nice lensbaby shot. He definitely gives off an aura of coolness.
October 19th, 2014  
Your commentary always delights my devilish side and my funny bone.You should shoot more people.This is awesome.The lensbaby gives such a feeling of movement.Super awesome.fav
October 19th, 2014  
@mzzhope Thanks very much, I'd love to "shoot" more people...
@ukandie1 Thanks very much - far too cool for me I think ;)
@scolgs Thank you kindly :)
@chippy1402 Thanks very much - his friend who is just out of shot playing an acoustic guitar was short and ginger, so someone had to be cool ;)
@northy Thanks very much - I'll make sure she has a look immediately. If not sooner.
@tellefella That he was, far too much coolness for one man
@denisefuller Thank you very much :)
@amyleewinfield Thanks very much indeed
@888rachel Thanks very much - every now and then they let me out...
@hermann Thanks very much, appreciated
@ceilidh Controlled aggression? That doesn't seem like much fun ;)
October 19th, 2014  
@graemestevens maybe just go bonkers then!
October 19th, 2014  
Great lensbaby effect!
October 19th, 2014  
Lensbaby has worked very well for this image Graeme - good choice to do this in B&W.
October 19th, 2014  
@karlow75 Why restrict mowing them down to just emergency vehicles. I think I should have that right also. He's Joe Cool all right Graeme
October 19th, 2014  
Haha, great shot! He looks very cocky! P.s. I hate you too! ;-)
October 20th, 2014  
Super shot! He does look cool!
October 20th, 2014  
@ceilidh That's not really pushing myself though...
@deak68 Thanks very much :)
@vignouse Thanks very much - I was desperate for something to post today and it just didn't work in colour
@terryliv far cooler than me...
@eyeamlisa LOL, he does at that - and it's not people that I hate, it's "people"...so you're okay ;)
@harbie Thanks very much
October 20th, 2014  
@greamestevens I am so glad I am not a "people" and I was jerking your chain. How could anyone hate me?? :-)
October 20th, 2014  
I was just trying to cover myself but I fail to see how anyone, people or "people", could dislike you ;)
October 20th, 2014  
@graemestevens aww! Thanks! I promise not to spread the word that you are actually as sweet as chocolate covered cupcakes, dipped in chocolate with chocolate sprinkles! :-)
October 20th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa Hells bells and buckets of blood, you'd better keep that quiet!!!
October 20th, 2014  
Love the focus in this capture Graeme...Fav
October 20th, 2014  
@tonygig Thanks very much :)
October 20th, 2014  
@graemestevens It's never evident that you're desperate for something to post, but I know the feeling well! I guess we're like the ducks gliding serenely across the pond whilst paddling furiously beneath the water!
October 20th, 2014  
@vignouse I believe you may be right there. Struggling to keep a firm grip on my "phojo" at the moment!
October 20th, 2014  
@karlow75 boy do I agree with that statement. I see that here all the time and it irritates me to no end.
October 20th, 2014  
Love this fun-filled scene so nicely captured!
