A quiet place for a morning cuppa... by northy

A quiet place for a morning cuppa...

Because it's been a while since I've done a back alley shot...

Subway station shot in my other album:

Thank you so much for the comments and favs on my early morning shot from yesterday... :)
I wonder if he is hiding or waiting! This is a dark shot - no sun around here!

@maggiemae he was just hanging out... pretty sure just on a break... the sun was quite sporadic this morning... and it poured all afternoon...

This is a great shot reflecting the desolation (I presume) of the main subject. I think you did super well reflecting the integrity of the subject and yet the problems he might have. A+. A favorite.

Well, there's a shaddy looking character you DON'T want to meet in a dark alley.

Great back alley feel, for sure! I was focused on the guys in the back initially. When my eyes came around to the guy with the hoodie, I jumped! My adrenaline started flowing just thinking about taking a photo like this! Lol! How do you pull this off? How often are you caught by your subject??
Great street shot!

Great street scene! Morning coffee just puts you in the moment, almost no matter who you are.

Love this - great urban feel to it. Like the composition and suits the monochrome.

@cromwell @tctime @psychographer ha ha ha!!! that poor guy... he actually looked completely pleasant... just hanging out with his cuppa...

TC - i think most of the time people don't realize that they are the focal point of a picture... i assume that they just assume i am shooting the architecture or something... this was trickier because there was nothing else around... and while i couldn't care less if he caught me out, it would have spoiled the shot if he'd reacted, y'know? and the angle was tricky because of cars, barriers and stuff... this is actually a fairly tight crop of a much larger image...
