Holiday Street-Shooting

[KevinBarrett]

I was lucky enough to come across this picturesque couple out on the town--and immediately adjacent to the only open parking space on the square, too! Enjoy, and feel free to share your own holiday street-shots.

Lovely picture KB - well spotted. There is a surprising 1950/60s feel to the picture with the subjects dress.

[Dr. Harout]

I was thinking of the same feel.

[Greg Beetham]

Yeah me too, a bygone era feel to it. I guess KB was able to bypass the hooker and the guy selling drugs with careful composure.

How about converting to B&W?

Nice shot. Love it

Nothing like a display of Thomas Kincaid illuminated paintings to attract the crowds! They could have been dressed for a photoshoot, honestly.

Kevin, it's almost too good to be true!

You are one lucky photographer to get this shot... : ) The girl's one leg up against the wall frame, her attitude, her dress' fur hem, red coat, shoes and the man's vintage silhouette ..and of course the illumunated indoors...plus the worn, square red tiles of the pavement all add up for a wonder.

It's story-book good and I'd say it would look great on a holiday-season-themed calender.

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you all for the feedback! I'll definitely be going back downtown again before the season is over.

Kevin: with shots like that, I'd go back again too. The only "shortcoming" I see is that it's so perfect I'd guess most people looking at it will assume you must have set it up, carefully picking the costumes and posing the subjects.

a really nice shot, nostalgic feel to it.

I've gone back a few times now at different times and hopefully I've got a few keepers--unfortunately they're mostly on film, so unless I finish the roll really quickly I may not get them up by Christmas. Which is significant for some reason.
