A Splash of Burgundy!

Champagne?!
A Splash of Burgundy! by from a 2 b.
Sunday Fun Day.... Found this shot when going through the archives... must spend some time cataloguing my old shots properly!!

I am now the proud owner of a 50mm f1.4 so am looking forward to giving it a try out. If the weather improves I intend to go into Manchester and shoot some of the crowds at the 'Sales' ,it will be interesting to see whether the attitudes to street photographers are different 'up north' as compared with my usual shooting patch of the London Oxford Street area... I will keep you posted. If all goes well the forthcoming theme will be that of the 'Sales'.

Hope you have all had a good Christmas break.

Gee, she's got class. Nice new lens you got there. This will be interesting. I wouldn't dare do that in Manchester. But then, I'm just a tourist up there ;-)

Congrats on the new lens Michael! That extra stop will be great for low-light shooting! Nice shot here and good luck shooting in Manchester, I lived there for a few years and my impression is that people wouldn't be as receptive to having their photo taken as in central London, but look forward to your reports :-))

Do you think that the 50mm will have an effect on the subjects since you will be much closer I would think or effect your work which is stunning.

Beautiful subject and such excellent light, I can't help but notice the perfect red lips, such style. But a bottle of bubbly to boot, such luck on your part!

Congrats on the nifty 50, Michael! Can't wait to see you work your magic with that one too! In the meantime, if this is the kind of stuff that stays in your archive, I wonder what else you're holding back from us in there :) Gorgeous work, as always!

She Said Unprintable Things  Pro User  says:

I like the almost faceless man behind her. He thickens the plot in this image, by developing the story between you the photographer and the very beautiful girl. The man behind her looks like a sore loser, and you captured her very well. : )

Before even viewing this photograph's EXIF info, I knew that it had been captured with the 135mm f/2.0L. That particular lens, along with the 85mm f/1.2L II, has its own distinct look.
