The Lonely Tuba player

ByDMcA


Today’s photo:The Lonely Tuba player. I was surprised to see a full marching band in Waterloo station recently, all dressed up in Ruritanian-style uniforms. Alone at the back was this single tuba player, and from my angle he looked completely isolated. The morose passengers nearby were also fairly unimpressed.  It would take a full-scale Martian invasion to get their attention of course.

Shot on my spiffy new Nikon 1 J5 camera – at last a lightweight Nikon with performance up there with the Olympus’s, as the latest DxOmark results show.

    A morning walk with M*t*n and P*tt* on the beach at Kommejtkie.   Walkers, surfers, dogs f*cking, families, loners, getting a mild dose of pre-breakfast exercise, on an uncharacteristically cold and grey strand. Later I went for a run on Noordhoek beach, 6km over. I had driven back, changed, and then started from the other end…

    Click to enlarge Another Shot from Bo-Kaap. This is again untweaked – these are the colours straight from the camera. I broke my usual rule on not photographing people on mobile phones with this shot – because the colours worked, and the phone is not visible, indeed it could just be his finely turned calves…
