[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Firs of all I apologise for this title. Obviously it's not queue for coffins, just bus stop. This title suppose to attract attention. Have you wonder to click for full image to see it yourself?
Blackwood - nice town near Caerphilly, surronded by valleys. It has quite big shopping centre, so people from surrounding places coming on saturday for all day shopping.
Picture was taken using 70-200 f/4 lens at 98mm. If you are in some distance from people and you haven't been noticed, they behave naturally, without posing or hiding. But if you are close, you feel it. Robert Capa sad: 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you are not close enough'.

Hi Maciej

Another nice slice of daily life. It would be nice to have a slightly more detailed view of their faces, but you can still see and wonder at their thoughts and issues. It is a sad shot for me really. Where does life stop and mere existance begin? TFS

Hello Macej,
Very nice candid of this interesting set of old codgers, who all look decidedly grumpy; perhaps their bus was overdue. Nice composition and good set of poses and expressions.

Haha, good idea to fool people with the title! Haha
But I must say it's the photo that attracted me. Nice and simple every day life. I like this woman who seems to be sticking out her tong (not so sure in fact...), hehe.
I like this quotation from Capa, good that you share it!
Thanks!
Vincent

Hello Maciej. They come somewhere and want somewhere. Waiting people are always interesting. Everyone waits for its way and is busy with itself. The people in the photo belong already to the older generation. They carry sticks. It harms that no seat is there. The photo is a beautiful People study. Best regards, Wolfgang.
