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.

    Today’s photo:Pont Alexandre III. A long exposure shot of the Seine at the Pont Alexandre III, a wonderfully ornate bridge over the Seine by the Grand Palais in Paris. I liked the way that the low evening sun lit up the gilded parts of the bridge and the statue on the far side. Taken with…

    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…
