Life goes on Photo

Photographer’s Note

Although possibly not technically the best shot / angle possible, I love this image for its vibrancy and sense of action. Taken during afew weeks travel time at the end of a medical placement in Teshie, Accra, Ghana.

Hello James,
A good slice of life to be seen here. I love crowd shots like this, which are full of animation and where you can spend ages working out what the various people are doing. Very good clarity. Welcome to TE.

Thank you very much for this picture. Africa is not enough represented in this site. Hope to see more photos form Ghana from you.
About the picture: somehow a bit difficult to read, but very interesting and so many things to see!
just done a small workshop with white balance correction, increased sharpness and color

Hi James!
I don't agree with you, it is really a great shot! I will do a WS tonight (B&W version probably), because your photo is absolutely fantastic. I like a lot the composiiton, with a good geometric use of diagonals. Almost a graphic picture with various diagonal lines and repetitive patterns(people, cars, people, shelters, people). Great daily life scene too, wich shows how urbanization gets bigger and bigger in an anarchical way in African countries...
