Marlboro Man by andycoleborn

Marlboro Man

Sangeeta was back to work today (ha ha..!! Poor woman) and as I'm not back until the 5th, I headed out to enjoy the sales up the West End and partake in a little photography...

Used the old 300mm again, which is damn handy for sneaky street candids... Ok, its not the easist lens to blend into the background with, but used quickly, you can certainly get some decent portraits..

Here's one of the street entertainers at Trafalgar Square taking five and grabbing a sly ciggie...

Has a touch of the Robbie Williams...???
Great capture!

Brilliant - sharp shots with long lenses on dull days are mightily difficult to achieve.

@azza_l yeah mate, would have done given the tools... got a new laptop fro Xmas and Sangeeta's son gonna download PS and LR (when he pulls his finger out) but til then, still have to rely on old picassa... Reckon th eold bill prob raid them whenever they need to top up their numbers, but otherwise, they just leave them alone slowly killing themsleves/hassling passer bys...

He looks like a private detective.

I think he is a real Robbie Williams, James Dean mix!

Great candid, I would be so tempted to desaturate this shot. Hope you and the missus had a great Christmas too Andy.

this is a great street capture - love the wisp of smoke coming of the cig and there is a touch of Robbie about the creases in his cheek :D

I didn't think Robbie Williams, I thought pop it into B and W and it's Bogart Film Noir. Great Candid
