The aim is to take some 20 - 30 images of people at an public event, without taking too much time to get the perfect picture. This exercise will stretch my comfort zone as I have rarely taken pictures of the Cityscape or of people. I rarely venture into a town or city. The other problem is that I do not know of any upcoming public event.
I have delayed going into Aberdeen to go to a couple of shops, waiting for a wet day. However I would passing close to the centre and thought to seek images quickly of the event called 'Daily Life'.
I chose to fit the 55-250mm lens for greater flexibility and set Auto ISO.
To start with I was hesitant taking pictures of the many strangers and took also pictures of other things I noticed. I was surprised that some people talked to me and 3 started to pose. I took all pictures as soon as I noticed, many while still walking.
I did not crop any of the images, with some I made adjustments to light and contrast.
focus and composition seem ok
Could have zoomed in a bit tighter
Camera needs a bit further to the left
A slight crop to get rid of the blue arm
Only at home did I notice the advert
either could have zoomed in a bit more or taken a potrait picture
Bottom is missing
the background light is too bright

Its been an interesting experience and great variety of possible image can be found. Working fast with zoom and focus is also good practice.
Great work Leif especially as it was well outside your comfort zone. Some lovely images and great descriptions.
