ON THE STREETS WHERE I LIVE

[FUJI]

During my walks in and around town I usually see mostly people I know or at least recognise by sight........Last week I was suprised to see this obviousy very old lady (with black eyes) walking towards me with her young looking labrador or Setter?

 

Except for a battered looking face she was very sprightly (or had to be because the dog was pulling a bit) .............NB....I considered cloning out Yellow lines etc, but decided against it to keep her in context.

 

 

The second, is of a lady who really annoys me, I see her occassionaly always nonchalantly riding her bike on the footpath, weaving between pedestrians, no matter how busy it might be.

 

This was taken yesterday on a very busy Market Day.....you wouldn't think so looking at the pic, behind her are folk she has ridden through with a crowded pavement just ahead.

 

I caught her during a surreal moment when her immediate space was empty except for her and her bloomin bike.

Nice Fuji, what I call little slices of life frozen in time, love them both just a shame the subject in no 2 is not sharp.

Street photography is always interesting, I love #1 and as you say, the bikers who show little regard for pedestrians are a bit on a nuisance but at least she gave you a picture opportunity

I am guessing that my auto focus wasn't able to keep pace with the cyclist?

I will try a new method of sharpening later.

I've switched from using AFS to AFF and am getting much more reliably focused pictures.

That's the problem with mirrorless Fuji..I know from experience. Single shot AF misses it unless you pre focus which is what I usually do, especially with the dogs running high speed towards me. CAF is usually useless unless at slow walking speeds, on the olympus you also have CAF+ tracking which sometimes works with subjects under 15mph.
