Well, I’ve been wanting to do some real street photography, but work disallowed that, so when my wife was doing the Color Run this past weekend at the NEC Birmingham, I jumped at the chance to click some off. Initially started with the 85mm, but fell back to the trusty 70-200 f4. No time for framing sometimes as the moment was there and gone. It was only when I returned home that I realised I’d been shooting 1 stop under, so had to tweak 90% - at least shooting RAW there was some data to be reaped! I haven’t had much time to re-crop, so there’s probably a few that need further tweaks, but thought I’d throw them out there. An absolute cornucopia of opportunities - I’d certainly recommend a local one if you’re about. Onto the show - got a fave? I know mine is…

Oh wow I love these shots. We had something like this recently but unfortunate I had an accident and missed it. Do you have a flickr page with more street work? Great job and I have to say I am really impressed with the 70-200 f4 lens. I have the 2.8 mark 2 but and love it but had no idea the f4 was so good.

Great shots, I dont know about the title being "street-photography" as some are posed (to me street is about being discrete) but I think its a great set anyway - and shows off the day and what the day "Meant". I really like 'em.
 
Very colourful photos, well taken but you wouldn't get my lungs or camera kit anywhere near these events! :)
 
So that was the reason there weren’t many shooters - I saw one guy with a plastic bag around his lens. I was very aware of the wind direction and stayed out of the thick of it as much as possible. Only got a few flecks on the hood. Camera and lens are still in tip-top condition. Although would have given me a good reason to upgrade to the f2 :)
Maybe a 1200mm next time? :) I’d still recommend it - if you’re prepared (though if it’s windy I think I’d think again!) I think this girl had more of a problem with it getting into places she didn’t want it to…

And I suppose I could have stood in the queue for this…

The ‘street photo’ was a play on most of the time they're b&w, which certainly wouldn’t have worked in this day of colour :)

love the vibrance, the forum talked me out of taking my camera to one of these events.
