Nottingham Pride : Hair Colours

These two ladies were part of the Nottingham Pride event that took place in the city centre today.

I took quite a few pictures of the event and will probably post quite a few over the next few days

They were very tall in heels and I was stood on a bit of a slope, so I had to stand on tip toes to try and maintain eye contact

I had to wait until a tram passed to ensure I had a better background to showcase the big hair and smiles

Edited in Rawtherapee, using natural skintones and a tad tone mapping

Great photo of those ladies - if they are ladies? Their lipstick is carefully chosen!

[Phil Howcroft]

@maggiemae maggie they are transvestites / transgender . Nice photo isn't it :)

[Judith Greenwood]

[Pat Knowles]

GREAT portraits! Wonderfully fun and colorful. They look so glamourous!
Especially love the purple hair! Such clarity and tones. Well done Phil! Bet you had fun doing this!

[Hazel]

Fabulous shot, definitely NOT one for b&w?!!!! I'd love purple hair!

[Dione Giorgio]

They seem to enjoy the publicity. Did you tell them you were putting the shot on 365? Love the hair, though I wouldn't want to see my wife, daughter, or daughter-in-law, with a hair dyed like that.

[Phil Howcroft]

[Phil Howcroft]

Hi everybody, I thought you might like to know that somebody saw some of my Pride pictures on Flickr and asked if they could use my shots for publicity for the Pride event in 2016. As they are a not for profit organisation, I gave them all my images from the event. They have used 20 of them on the Nottingham Pride in the Park 2016 website (under constructions), so I am well pleased about that. The power of social media :) .

@phil_howcroft Wow, how exciting. No wonder they wanted to use your photos. I had a look and they're really great. What a wonderful, colourful event.

@phil_howcroft

Hey, they are all fabulous, Phil. Congratulations! As you say, the power of social media.

[Judith Greenwood]

They are fab Phil - well deserved recognition - think I need to start using Flickr - and taking better photos!

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg thanks for taking a look Judith. 365 remains my main photo sharing site, but I do post my "better" photos on flickr. Flickr is vast, but you do get more exposure of your photos there
