lying in wait by northy

lying in wait

lying on the corner of yonge and dundas is prolly not wise... he appeared neither drunk nor homeless... and seemed to have a keen interest in what was transpiring around him...

a silhouetty type shot in my other album

and now... time to get caught up on commenting :)
Fantastic light here on the street - almost white! This car is certainly going fast. I would have liked to see him get up and move!

Whoa, bizarre! The car blur really adds to the story of this shot.
May 25th, 2013  
great capture and how interesting! The guy in the foreground really seems content with this roses, music and shades.
May 25th, 2013  
I love the contrast of the busy people on one side of the street and then the other two so calm and still.
May 25th, 2013  
The guy looks like he is levititating in space
May 25th, 2013  
Amazing shot. So many things going on. Standing up with flowers and headphones, lying down in the sunshine and living life on the street behind.
May 25th, 2013  
So bizarre!
May 25th, 2013  
Love this. Great dichotomy of the two men and the motion blur is awesome. fav
May 25th, 2013  
Definitely an interesting set up with lots of contrasts both in the subject matter and tonal quality of your photo. I love the dude with the flowers.
May 25th, 2013  
Very strange. I love the guy hiding and the movement of the car. Fav for me. :)
May 25th, 2013  
Very interesting and I love the tone.

i was there again today but didn't have the will nor the inclination to whip out my camera. it's probably because i was eating chocolate - cadbury fruit and nut. yum!

ah, your photo. this was taken later. the supine guy, he's on the sidewalk, n'est-ce pas? that blurry image of the car indicates how fast it was and the result would've been so bloody but the way you processed made it look like it flew over him. i like it!

Wow, this looks surreal. The guy with the flowers looks like he was transported there and the car movement is freaky. Cool!
May 25th, 2013  
Cool shot
May 25th, 2013  
Great composition - cool capture of such a wild variety of people and behaviors!
May 25th, 2013  
really weird... but made for a great photo op :)
May 25th, 2013  
Great catch, love the two guys and how they play against each other.
May 25th, 2013  
wonder if he was setting up a shot for someone else?
May 25th, 2013  
Cool photo. Very weird scene
May 25th, 2013  
So much to look at and take in. Tells a great story
May 25th, 2013  
Great photo... so much going on!
May 25th, 2013  
Great capture. Well seen, love that you've captured so many things going on. Another fav.
May 25th, 2013  
great shot! love the movement of the car!
May 25th, 2013  
This has everything - great bit of motion blur from the car - and love the man waiting with the flowers
May 25th, 2013  
Protest? Or just chillin
May 25th, 2013  
And the other guy was waiting for you with flowers :) How sweet of him :)
May 25th, 2013  
@jase_again chillin' i should think...

@Cheesebiscuit bahaaaaa! as if!
May 25th, 2013  
How did you capture such a surreal feel?
May 25th, 2013  
@rockinrobyn hmmm... i wasn't "trying" to in this particular case... i was exposing for the darker areas and he was lying in the sun, so his bit came up waaaay over exposed... the toner added in silver efex processing kind of accentuated it, i guess...
May 25th, 2013  
There's always a momentum in your street shots, it seems. And here such a contrast between the still and motion with that stark lighting contrast, I think. Works well. Always interesting stuff from you!
May 25th, 2013  
cool!
May 25th, 2013  
Fabulous, love the combo of the two cool guys, both very cool in different ways. The guy with the flowers could be the grown up version of the one lying on the the street.
May 25th, 2013  
Interesting contrast ... you spot juxtaposition so well.

Is he on the road? Great shot!
May 26th, 2013  
@redpants no - it's a bit deceptive with the blown out bits... he's on the sidewalk there...
May 26th, 2013  
Sue
@northy ~ thanks, had me thinking for minute ... wondering if he had a death wish or just challenging drivers, lol
May 26th, 2013  
So envious of your talent for capturing scenes like this. Wonderful xx
May 27th, 2013  
What a bizarre scene! What an interesting scene!

I love the car blur, there is much going on in this composition. The car, the guy with the flowers and the guy lying down. This is definitely a favourite of mine. Great capture and find. FAV

Did anyone jump over him while you were looking? :D That'd been a fun shot, too. :D Really an interesting frame, so much to look at. :)
