September 2025 - Street Entertainer Delights
About the Image(s)
They shut down the street for a festival and the street was packed with people everywhere. I noticed one of the street entertainers was showing card tricks and really getting strong reactions and emotions so that’s where I focused my captures.
I used a Canon EOS 60D with a 15-85mm lens at 85mm, ISO 1000, 1/125sec, f5.6.

Children always make good subjects, and this is no exception. The little girl's smile does it. And as a street photography image, conversion to black-and-white adds to the image. The image certainly is suitable for human interest. The essence of a street fair are the activities of the fair and had you stepped back a bit and captured the image of the street entertainer demonstrating the card trick with the little girl smiling it might have been a better capture.   Posted: 09/08/2025 06:07:21
Alan, thank you for your comments! I agree the little girl's smile does it. Thanks for the suggestion about the street entertainer demonstrating the card trick.   Posted: 09/12/2025 10:13:38
