Best not to ask... by judithg

Best not to ask...

Outside King's College at our 365 rendez vue point yesterday the world was passing by. I would have had an earlier shot if I'd obeyed candid photography rule #1: - remove lens cap.
Hihi, you got a wonderful shot of her. I still wonder what she was doing... Maybe on the way to a hen party? Wonderful use of selective colouring!!! How did you manage to just select her?

Ha - great!!

I hope it was a hen party - she was walking along like she was off to a conference! I have noticed a few hen/stag parties this year - perhaps it's the recession and Ibiza is too expensive. I photoshopped her to get the colour - two layers, top one B&W and then erased her top layer (so to speak!)

Oh, ok - thanx for the how-to! Oh gosh, I wonder what kind of conference that would be ;))).
April 18th, 2011  
LOL Judith!

Oh how interesting I would love to know the story behind that ! Clever computer work too by the sounds of it ! What a lot I have to learn !!!!!!!!!
April 18th, 2011  
OH! haha!
April 18th, 2011  
Heh! :) love the title, too! and i'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation ;)
April 18th, 2011  
But it would be kind of fun to know... :)
Those darn lens caps have foiled many good shots for me.
This is a wonderful candid shot! Excellent editing and a fabulous composition! Well done, Judith!

Great capture!

This is such a super shot, I love the selective colouring, I have so much to learn in photoshop. I hope it was a hen, as she is so bold about it. LOL

Oh, now I'm annoyed I was late and missed this lady (and what with the top of the manic bell ringing, the 30-piece samba band and the roving punt touts, it was all go on Kings Parade!). I'm sure she's on her way to a serious academic conference in one of the University Departments on the social and political implications of small inflatable figures...

Judith It's a great candid shot , despite missing the first one !!! Clever colour popping too :)
April 18th, 2011  
can only imagine what's in the luggage. fun capture.

@helenmoss Now I'm not an expert in this field but is that inflatable unusually small?!
April 18th, 2011  
i think its perfect timing, keep her identity private ;) great capture

@jeffg Yeah it's a bit bulgy!!
April 18th, 2011  
@libcreative That's true - saves me having to do a fuzzy face!!
April 18th, 2011  
LOL how very strange!
April 18th, 2011  
Well you never know when you're going to need a blow-up doll.
April 18th, 2011  
LOL! Very strange.

Great street photo.
April 19th, 2011  
Lol, this is so funny! Great capture Judith!
April 19th, 2011  
Haha, excellent capture!
April 19th, 2011  
Judith....I think.... she wanted to be noticed......she could have blown it up at her destination! Perhaps she is a medical student, but then I suppose she would be carrying a skeleton!!
