Sign of The Times

Caroline asked me to shoot a candid street scene in black and white. I'm avaoiding streets, but not car parks, where these two friends were sat with their coffees chatting and laughing.

@chejja Hello Caroline, I'm really not comfortable with street, but these two ladies said they didn't mind being in my photo.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

I like this, jealous of their comfort with each other.

[Anne]

Oh to meet a friend for coffee - even outside! Makes a good candid shot

[moni kozi]

This is such a lovely scene

[KoalaGardens🐨]

beautiful focus

[Annie-Sue]

there is a lovely soft mood to this

[Mags]

Excellent candid and black and white!

[kali]

sign of the times when you see two people sitiing together and want to know if they are in the same bubble or flouting the rules lol

[haskar]

Great candid shot.

[Lin]

Nice street capture.

[Lesley]

Great shot of these people. It will be nice when not all of our bought drinks have to be takeaways, won’t it?

[Karen Miller]

Nicely done. Love it.

[Jacqueline]

Great street shot Jackie!

[Susan Wakely]

Great shot especially knowing that they were happy sitting in drizzly weather.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great shot!

[Carole Sandford]

Nice “sign of the times” shot. I suspect that whatever their connection, they are not 2 metres apart.

[katy]

I think it’s a wonderful composition and a fabulous street scene! Perfect choice to use black and white!

[Valerie Chesney]

I so like this capture, the ladies are so relaxed & enjoying each others company..

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

@grammyn thanks Katy
@carole_sandford they were sharing a bin bag to keep dry!

@jacqbb thank you
@cookingkaren v kind
@tinley23 oh won't it!!!
@linnypinny thank you
@haskar I asked first if they minded
@kali66 I hope they're in a bubble as very close!! I kept my distance and used zoom lens!
@marlboromaam thank you
@anniesue bit of processing!!
@koalagardens it had a bit of help
@monikozi but sad too
@365anne oh to go out for tea and cake after a walk!!
@theredcamera I fear they may be too close if they don't live together!

[Wendy]

So nice to see a bit of normalcy in these trying times!

[Kathy]

Well spotted.

[jackie edwards]

[Kathy A]

This is a fabulous street scene

[Monique]

Nice candid

[JackieR]

@momamo thank you not a genre I'm that comfy with
@kjarn it's not traditional is it!
@jackies365 even if law breaking
@randystreat they were just happily there
@farmreporter normalcy, but if caught would be moved on and maybe fined, so normal for today

@30pics4jackiesdiamond An excellent response to your challenge. I really like this casual shot, and I like your use of depth of field to really draw attention to the two women and keep the background slightly out of focus and not distracting. Very nicely done.
