Street Art Photography

Street Art Photography

Saturday 27 September
Ipswich Waterfront - 10am - 2 Hours
Ipswich Photography Group
Allen Blasdell
Street art is a unique and colorful art form and can be found in all kinds of nooks and crannies in cities all over the world. Capturing art in the streets in photographs can be tricky because these urban art pieces are in public spaces, that are busy and usually filled with a decent amount of traffic. Sometimes you include the people and sometimes, you don't.

    I was wondering around RSPB Ham Wall heard a noise just above my head and saw these two long tail tit fledgling flitting amongst the branches begging their parents for food. They then settled on the branch closest to me and sat relaxing allowing me to take some photos. They were as interested in watching me as I was in photographing them!

    I was in a hide on the edge of a field waiting to get a few pics of some deer when I spotted this little fellow picking up twigs and flying them back to it's nest in a hedgerow. I got a few shots but this was my favourite.

    Taken at Silverstone F1 on Qualification day. F11 1/80 at 135mmTook numerous photo's on the day with a very low hit rate! The cars are doing doing around 150mph at the position we were in, took a while to get the panning right and a bit more experimentation to get at a low enough shutter speed to blur the background and the chain link fence.Will 100 be going back next year and up in a grandstand!

    Title or Location: Ellis Square, Savannah, GA
    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    Title or Location: Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK
    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

    CPKC Rail Engine 9350 plus one heading east out of Winnipeg to deliver it's freight to Eastern Canada and possibly countries beyond on this beautiful summer day. Engine 9350 is a Diesel/Electric Locomotive which was built in February 2012 by General Electric and produces 4400HP which is capable to propel it to a top speed of 75mph. I love to photograph trains whenever I get a chance. To me they are iconic.
