Second trial photos, Bristol

I have been to Bristol for staying a night,

Thank God that the second day was rainy,

so i could try to shoot some photos to see if any of them can be included in my project.

As I discovered that it was quite difficult to shoot Candid Photography

when i tried to do my project in London;

because if it was afternoon and in a tourist spot,

there would be too many people around,

and the photos would include some unwanted people

who distracted the attention of object in a picture.

So after the tutorial, i decided to shoot my project about people waiting to or crossing the street,

as a consistent pattern as the one in Edinburgh,

and it is easier to capture the special moment of people's interaction.

The couple was actually chatting,

then the husband discovered that i was shooting them,

so he avoided the camera by turning to his wife.

It was interesting that even if they were chatting and as a couple,

they always kept a distance between each other that time.

Maybe it is the way they got used to?

As i mentioned before,

the way of old couple act is totally different from young couple.

Young couple likes to express their love and intimacy by touching.

I guess it is the way they feel connected in a relationship?

Personally i think it is the most interesting photo so far for the trials i have taken.

The position of, or the distance between the man and woman in photo suggested they seem to know each other,

but if i look closer, actually i realize that they don't know each other by the way they look and walk to total different direction.

The rainy and wet weather seems make them freezing and unpleasant.

This is such a lovely photo that I have captured the interaction between the old couple,

while the wife was trying to help putting the hat on her husband.

The old man alone besides them also made a interesting contrast here,

the intimacy, and the solitude. 

This is another sweet photo as well but about a young couple.

Under the freezing weather and the loads thing they have shopped,

the man still hugged his girlfriend to keep her warm.

Um, a bit jealous.

Similar to the previous photo, the man who walked alone beside them,

made a contrast here.

When we are alone and seeing the couple's interaction besides us,

we always feel awkward and uncomfortable .

I guess it is probably because the comparison that we have made inside our heart.

Probably the girlfriends or family were looking at same direction while waiting to cross the road.

A bit blurred as i forgot to adjust the focus mode from Manual to Auto.

But still I think it is a nice photo and i captured successfully the moment of this close interaction. 

The bike couple in bridge.

As i guessed the man was leading the woman of a bike tour in Bristol.

The child happily left with their parents after the visit of M Shed,

museum about introducing Bristol history.

They all knew i was taking a photo of them.

The parents felt shy and tried to avoid by their umbrella,

but the kids just kept laughing and chatting to their parents.

I guess they are married couple?

Had a lovely date in M Shed for weekend.

The man seems quite satisfied with the day out with the woman.

All photos were edited by heighten a bit of brightness,

and adjusted to the highest level of contrast to highlight the object and shadows in photos,

also to enhance the dramatic solid feeling of them.

After shooting these trials, 

I have initially picked some photos to included in my project,

with a consistent pattern of ---

1. people's interaction

2. the reflected shadows from wet floor after rainy 

3. crossing the road
