A World Of Their Own

The flower made this for me.

That captured moment actually cleverly  blocks out all the detritus of the mundane surroundings John ..  did you have to process to get the progressive blurring or did your settings do the trick ...  it’s an apt title for a lovely tender moment  and the flower is the key element as you noticed ... really like it ..

Thanks Polly. Yes there has been some PP.  Used a 300mm lens but I did blur the B.G. slightly more.  Mainly however, I desaturated it to make the couple stand out more.

That's a great image, John - the softer, quieter end of street photography that works just as effectively as the gritty, mono stuff.

Yes, the flower works a treat.

I love the pic......a wonderful moment, captured perfectly.

But not sure about the use of a 300 mm lens  for Street Photography....a bit paparazzi I think  ..... 28 mm /30 mm/50 mm are the usual norms.

Thanks Fuj.  Quote" the best camera is the one you have with you".  I wasn't out photographing Street in particular. I just spotted the opportunity and took it (no pun intended) using the 18-200mm zoom that I had mounted..  (As it happens, I misread the metadata.  It was 200mm - 300mm in 35mm format).  For serious street photography, I would normally use a fixed lens X100F (23mm) usually with an adapter giving me 18mm.

It's ideal if you're a coward like me!

Great image, John.
