142- Homo Sapiens, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

The students had worked hard running through the British Museum, filling their questionnaire, and while they were waiting for the rest of the group to finish their visit, this guy decided to offer his mates some entertainment!
Or was it that he needed some cash, as the next stage was Shopping in Oxford street :-))

The British Museum was founded between 1753 and 1759; It is the equivalent of The Louvre Museum in Paris, with 7 M objects, the collections illustrating Human History from its beginning to nowadays.
Like all national museums in Britain, the entrance is free; it counts 6 M visitors a year and is considered the most visited site of Great Britain.

Usually geatherd around street dance are groups of youngsters - and here is no exception - you see it all over the world.
I like the face expression on the lady on left - she looks amazed.
Good POV and clear image.

Hi MarieLouise,

A very nice and well-composed shot. I really like the expression of the face of the girl to the left. The British museum is a good background. Nice lighting and excellent natural colours. TFS and have nice day1

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
Cette composition me plaît avec le gars qui fait l'arbre droit devant le public et le regard de la figure sur l'affiche un peu cachée par le pied droit de l'acrobate.
Amicalement

Hi MarieLouise,
I like it, we have seen enough of the actual museum, so it is nice to see such lively display of youthfulness and enegy. The atmosphere is fun and casual. All is just fine. Good dof, all the people in the back a also nice and sharp.

Well if he wears D&G, he does need lot of money to pay for it.
thanks. Happy weekend.

Bonjour, chère Marie-Louise,
Le garçon ne manque pas de talent, d'ailleurs, il a des admirateurs.
Eh bien, les passionnés de musée doivent être heureux : entrée gratuite ! je voudrais bien que cela fut pareil en france ! hélas, trois fois, hélas !
Très bonne prise de vue.
Excellent week-end.
Amitiés.

Bonjour Marie Louise
Intéressant spectacle dans une ambiance de jeunesse.
J'aurais utilisé ici un multishot pour capter les diffférentes phases du mouvement.
Amitiés

a very spontaneous short you have there

Hello Marie-Louise,
This amusing scene is captured and commented by you perfectly well, with the good composition and very high photographic quality, in particular depth of focus. But, when I wanted to see the exact location of the British Museum and clicked on "Map: view" in your photo information section, I saw agricultural fields far away of London. I advise you to use Google Earth features (they are free) for determining geographical coordinated of any place. For example, in the case of my post "Village of Moscow", I opened Google Earth, found Stavropol Kray in Russia and Village Moskovskoe (its name means "called after Moscow", "Moscow's" or "of Moscow", because the first fortress in that place was build by soldiers from Moscow, although the distance from this village to Moscow is about 1800 km). Then I read its coordinates (45.28609 Lat, 41.91908 Long) and wrote them into the Location section of the post information. Adding or editing of this information can be made at any time after posting.

Excellently composed and captured!

Best regards,
Sergiy

Che coincidenza! ero in questo posto un paio di giorni fa...
E mi chiedevo che cosa inquadrare per produrre una foto decente e originale. Tu ci sei riuscita bene (e sei anche stata fortunata) catturando questa scena interessante nel momento giusto e anche con una buona composizione che mostra non solo il ragazzo acrobata ma anche l'ingresso del BM e le persone che osservano. Buona la definizione e la resa dei colori e contrasto, quando c'ero io era tutto grigio! (:-)

Ciao,
Donato

Ciao Maria Luisa, bella foto d'azione, hai ripreso il ragazzo proprio nel momento ideale, ottimo tempismo, brava, ciao Silvio

Ninello52 (7576) 2010-09-08 0:31

Ciao Marie!
Come stai? Mi fa piacere rileggere i tuoi commenti e rivedere tue foto! Sono tornato a Roma dopo essere stato a Belgrado per 5 mesi! Belgrado è una città molto interessante, quella foto che mi hai commentato è di un pescatore sul fiume Sava un grande fiume che poi finisce sul Danubio. Molto divertente questa tua foto! Brava a cogliere e fermare il gesto al momento giusto, bello anche il fondo con tutti quei giovani ognuno nel proprio atteggiamento!
Saluti, Nino.

Bonsoir Marie Louise
En voyant ses côtes on pourrait se dire qu'il est en "hypocalcémie"en fait il a la patate et cela a l'air d'intéresser les spectateurs.Que d'énergie!
Bonne soirée à toi et tes proches
Amicalement

Bonjour Marie Louise
Bon cadrage de la scène et un grand dynamisme procuré par cet acrobate! L'intérêt que les passants lui portent est un plus dans l'image.
Mes amitiés

Hola Marie Louise.

Sin duda, una curiosa y graciosa foto del momento con la gente de fondo totalmente atenta.

Me gusta.

Un saludo!

Hi Marie Louise,
Strange things people will do for a living! As long as it's legit, I'm fine with it. In your note you write about the British Museum, this guy is a museum piece himself! He should walk on those hands right into the museum and find a corner to park himself.
A nice humorous photo!
Regards,
MT
