Great Series

[rhondavid]

Very nice series. Love the next to last one of Jackson Square in particular. Looks like you caught the sunset perfectly in that one. Lots of great photo ops there. I need to go back soon.

Thanks, David. The second to last was the typical "I was packing up my gear to go home when the light suddenly changed" shot. It was a nice reflection of secondary light. The upside was that I was watching a street performer while my camera and telephoto were set on the tripod and I would fire off shots every few minutes while the sun was setting.

Love them!!

The "Walking the Streets" looks as if the guys is a ghost and going through that wall - they say that NO is one of the most haunted places - sell that puppy!!!

Thanks! I never thought of looking at the photo like that but it's an interesting perspective.

It was the first thing that I noticed when looking at it - it is indeed splendid as they all are! Just had a look through your site as well :clap got some great ones in there!! Might help me snap out of my rut as I am seeing a lot of inspiration from looking through them.

Glad to inspire. By the same virtue, the streetcar could be seen as a ghost as well :D
