Realy nice action capture. It has a good frame and layout. THe splashes of red are strong but dont distract.

These street performers are everywhere and do lots of crazy things. Thanks to work, I'm getting a lot of practice.
Thanks.

I'm loving it at the moment, that's for sure! I'm basically going into the city every weekend to attend concerts and go to exhibits so I can do reviews/write-ups.
Once we get back to uni it won't be so fun, since that'll mean I'm back to doing the website as well. SO BORING.

I think I've seen this guy before.
This is a GREAT shot... the angle is fantastic, the colour pops and the moment was perfect!

I was glad to be back in the crowd! Being one of the five guys helping to hold the poll up would've had me feeling so worried.

Man I love him! ^_^ I was watching him once when I was about 7 and dad was there. And when his was jugling, he dropped the apple. So dad went out, took a bight out of it, then through it back to him... They are both quite insane!

I'm torn between laughing and finding that very gross, lol.
When his chosen woman first threw the apple at him, he missed and it went splat on the ground. By the time he caught it, it was practically bleeding to death, there was so much juice coming out of it. And he still ate it! Ew.

The first throw was waaaaay too low, the second I think he barely caught.

She also couldn't understand much English, since she was an Italian tourist.

If he was singing walzing mathilda too simultaneously to chewing that apple I would have given him a
Great action shot btw, like the way he's tilting over from left to right. Very clear and that must've been a sunny day. Crazy shutterspeed needed

Oh yeah, it was annoyingly sunny! Now that it's winter it's so often overcast, but, noooooo, today had to be all bright and sunny just to make photographing people more of an issue due to extreme shadows.

pfft.. i could do that... lol... now what would be really cool is if he threw the apple up, threw the machette at it, cut it in two and then juggled all four of them...
buuut, that isnt the point, the juggler may be substandard, but the photo isnt!

The more complex the routine the more likely someone dies when he stuffs up. I'm guessing he knows that.
Thanks.
