Central Park, New York, Early April. Early use (for me) of the 75mm cron, with the M8. IR filter attached. Cropped and reduced resolution to fit on the web site. My first picture post, so comments and suggestions are welcome.

Douglas -

 

For starters, this is a very amusing photo showing the delighted very slightly out of focus couple in the background and the tired(?), bored(?), surly(?) bleach blonde smoker in focus in the foreground. Brilliant catch, excellent light, colors and composition.

 

BTW: Often, what you are seeing is just the photo shoot for a Chinese American wedding, and the ceremony is usually months later. There are several places in the city where you can see this happen almost any day of the year.

Thanks to you both for the kind words. I kind of thought it was an amusing juxtaposition, too.

 

And yes, Stuart, it was the photo shoot for a wedding. Their cameraman was just out of view on the left.

David, not really, tho it looks like it.

 

For purposes of the picture I would have liked to get rid of that yellow tag, too. It was a note placed by the Parks Dept. saying that they had just sprayed insecticide on the tree and that people should not sit there for a day or so.

I have just noticed the yellow 'sticky'. Do they stake out the places between the trees for each wedding couple?

Good get, David. I thought it was a daffodil on first sight. I must admit, I would have removed it in PS, but then I can rarely resist mucking about with my captures.

 

This photo reflects the wry sense of humor of the the photographer, well done, Doug!

I especially like the yellow tag, having recognized it as an chemical spray warning. Man, this picture has everything in it -- not to mention that the bride and groom are out of focus. The photo's a poem in all of its aspects.

Very pleasantly enjoyable photograph. I just wonder if you needed any permission from that young guy. The contrast between that person and slightly out of focused couple really amuses me.

Cheers,

Jaehong, glad you liked it.

 

I am working on the assumption that candids in public places do not require permissions. Plus I have no intention of using this commercially. Hope that's correct.
