Henri -

A fun series, but I think two of them need a bit of post processing to really sing: #1 & #2 a bit of punching-up and sharpening.

Thank you Stuart for looking and comment

You are right

Here again these two pictures corrected with PS with a little more contrast

Henri, I especially like the violonist. Great capture.
Hi Martin,

Yes me too :)

I have taken some thirty pictures and only some photos are correct...so it's very difficult to say that's is a success when you shot....

 

This last one may be will have your agreement : this guy,in front of the Sacré Coeur's church, is absolutely dexterous, the ball can stay

few seconds unmoved in the air, and he doesn't fall ... the lady, probably a tourist, wants absolutely take a picture for souvenir in front

of him.....so face to face :)

Thanks for looking and comment

I'm puzzled by something. You are using the M8 with a 35 lux in outdoor light, yet the shutter speed you selected is so slow that the people in your first image have motion blur. Was this intentional?

Hi Brent,

Thanks for looking and comment !

No it's not intentional

I set the camera on "A" position and i shot.

May be some pictures seem as you said with "motion blur" but not on all pictures,

if i understand the sense of this word.

If no, what do you mean by "blur" ? is it the "moved"girl on background, in the first picture ?

may be i must set on diaphragm 5,6 or less to have higher speed ?

The weather was a little sunny and we have no much light in this place in winter

Hi Doc,

 

Yes, I was referring to the blur as in the woman in the background of the first image. Even the man in the foreground is affected to a lesser degree. You are correct that setting the aperture to a wider opening like f/4.0 or 5.6 would correct this by giving you a faster shutter speed. In this kind of light, you would still have a small enough aperture to give you good depth of field with a 35mm lens.

 

Cheers,

Brent,

I will have other opportunity to return to this place this year and i will take care about the aperture.Thanks for your remark.

These give a deep and richly detailed sense of the place. Like many who've commented above, I also pick the first violinist image as my favorite. The colors, movement, light and shadows, all work really great to create a wonderful mood. JSB would have approved!
