Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations in Nottingham by phil_howcroft

Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations in Nottingham

Nottingham held it's annual Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations yesterday.

A superb street event to photograph.

This man and lady were very popular as they made an entrance to the start area of the parade.

I would have loved them to be part of my 100 strangers project, but they were a magnet for all the photographers at the event, so I passed on the strangers opportunity and just asked them for a quick few photos as they walked up the hill to the start position.

Fabulous outfits don't you think?

I normally process my RAW files in Rawtherapee but on this occasion I decided to use Darktable.



Darktable runs very slowly on my old laptop, but from past experiences of the softwar, I knew the "equaliser tool with the clarity option" would really make the greens pop.
a great shot Phil - shame they didn't have time to chat :)

@annied annie , many thanks, I am sure they would have chatted, but photographers were swooping to get photos and it would jave been too rushed a photoshoot :)

they stand so clear of the busy background, and the focus on each is just right. Such a lovely portrait.
