Over at Paula’s blog today, the theme for Thursday’s Special is Street Photography by Guest Challenger Yvette.
As Street Photography is something I like to do from time to time, I have already posted many of my better images. Hopefully, I will start taking more soonish, but for now here are three that I haven’t previously posted (well, I don’t think I have!).
Here’s a bit of fantasy (I have posted a similar one before):
Better run!
This guy has nonchalently walked past the trap:
Escaped
And here is a street artist/graffiti sprayer (you decide) at work – I loved the colours in this, her shoes and top mirrored in the yellow splashes on the wall:
See more examples at Paula’s here.
You were lucky to capture a street artist in action Sue. I have never seen one actually painting, and thought that they always did this at night.
Best wishes, Pete.
I think they usually do!

I like graffiti when they are meaningful and in designated places which seems to be the case here, still the first shot is the most original of the three. Love your creativity, Sue. Thank you!
Thanks, Paula – glad you like these!
Yes, these are artists…Like the slow shutter on the first image – giving context of people that is implied and does not strait from the artwork.
Thanks, Robert – whenever I take images of street art, I try to make my own ‘picture’, so I am not just taking a shot of someone else’s creation 🙂
And you did!
Thanks!
A marvelous selection Sue! Love that first shot. And the clever caption 🙂
Thanks, Madhu! I like trying to come up with a good title now and again!
Personally I like the third one for the movement, colours and the way you’ve caught the concentration on the girl’s face, she seems quite oblivious!
Love it! I had actually asked her if I could take some photographs of her at work. So it’s calculated oblivion! But I think she sort of forgot I was there……
Looks like it! It’s definitely a really nice shot.
☺️
Yes i like that…
Very nice
good picture
please come and tell me what you think about

Many thanks! And I’ll take a look at your site
Excellent captured, Sue… 🙂
Many thanks, Drake 😀
Interesting street art! I really like the movement in the first image and great to see a street artist in action!
I did have some fun with these 😀
I love Street Art and Street Photography and especially images that capture both. Great shots, especially the Street Artist in action.
Many thanks!
Street photography & street art – I love them both! Great shots.
Thanks, Cardinal! Glad you liked
This is a great image Sue. The blurred figure in the foreground adds to sense that street art is ephemeral.
One way of looking at it! I intended them to be running away from that woman and her beasts! 😀
That too 🙂 I like your interpretation best.
Thanks, Suzanne!
That first is amazing, Sue, and I’m even a little scared of being eaten! 🙂 I’ve never seen one of these folks at work before and that makes a great shot too. Keep on rocking! 🙂
😀😀
*Better Run … really like that one Sue ! I never know how they can work so quickly (seemingly) so close up to their ‘canvas’ as most of these are large scale pictures .
All to do with perspective, Poppy!
You have captured the feeling of fear as those people appear to be running away from all the fearsome beasts.
Thanks, Pauline…had to wait a while until the ‘right’ people, moving at the correct speed turned up!
Certainly well seen Sue
😀
love the blurred figure with cloak billowing ! cool.
I enjoyed seeing your images of the street art. Some of these “graffiti artists” are so good, I wish they had their work hanging in galleries.
The blurred figure is actually two people ‘running’ 😀
wonderful art- I love the first best!! Great subject Sue!
Thanks, Cybele! Jim Vision has done some great murals….
Your work is amazing Sue
Many thanks, Chris
