Melbourne Candid Series #108

 


St Kilda Beach 

In Australia, it is called soccer. Everywhere else, it is football. Ha

p.s. Not sure how long I will last with candid photography. But I will keep going until I run out of steam.

  1. If you run out of steam with candid photos, I hope you post other photos instead. Non-candid photos, I guess!

    1. Thanks, Deb. Candid photography for me is becoming harder. Driving to CBD is like one hour minimum in congested traffic on a weekend day. Parking is like 18 bucks only available if going into city before 9 am. Then sitting around for the whole day waiting for good moments to come up. I think I could use the time to do something else too.

    1. Haha, my mentor and a skilled candid street photographer has gone to the dark side doing professional portrait photography. I feel abandoned for some years doing this genre less and less.

  8. You have a great eye for street action, and should continue to hone your skills. BTW, its called soccer in the U.S. as well, a fun game. Your photo captures the joy.

  11. I am surprised that it is soccer there as it is here. But you have Aus Rules Football and we have another game called football.

    1. I used to force myself to conform to the Australian Rule Footballs. Someone as you might call a try hard. Now I just enjoy soccer lol

    1. Thanks! That is encouraging to know. I limit the scope of my street candid to Melbourne CBD. It is not really my part of life where I am more of a rural migrant or burb guy

  13. Nice shot! Street photos happen everywhere. Go to your local shopping centre, the neighbourhood park, the service station, your front yard! You're only limited by your imagination. Welcome, and thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme!

    1. Thanks! I kind of limit this blog to Melbourne CBD photography. So it is becoming a chore for me. The local shopping centre forbids camera photography. So many more rules keep piling on

  14. One ball had two men take an interesting movement. Really good shot.
