Vocalist Busking

Posted by tengtan (Melbourne, Australia) on 21 July 2007 in People & Portrait.

A female vocalist absorbed in her passionate singing on Melbourne's main shopping mall accompanying herself on keyboards.

This was one of my first photos using the then newly acquired Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L lens and the conditions were far from ideal with much clutter and human traffic in the background and the flash did not work in the backlit shot. So had to resort to some PP, contrast correction and mainly blurring of the background to remove distractions, hoping the results would not be too artificial (versus "creative"). BTW her hair is as is, no colour effects were added.
