Update: San Francisco Street Artists (0507-001) on Photoduniya.com

The Ferocious Few rocked and rolled as usual on the corner of Powell entertaining a huge crowd of passers by and the tourists.

Francisco Fernandez the lead guitarist, song writer and singer, comes into his own with his rock and roll, while his partner, adept with the drums and percussion, keeps with the beats equally well.

I did almost seven hundred shots this evening of Cici, Chelsea & Whitney, Jonathan, Ming Xiong and off course the Ferocious Few. Over a period of time I shall update the projects section on photoduniya.com.

Chelsea & Whitney were playing the violin and the guitar, charming up probably Celtic tunes for a christian charity. They formed a nice pair, not only on the instruments, but together with their youthful innocence and cheerful naivety.

More of their images will be uploaded on photoduniya.com shortly.

Update: Faces from San Francisco (0607-001) on Photoduniya.com

The Faces from San Francisco is well underway. This gentleman walked up to me to snap a few pictures of his that he could share with his family. He was vending some flowers and some local artifacts to the tourists close to China town.

I went back several times with small prints hoping to find him again and give him those copies. He had been very patient all the while I was taking the shots.

Tip: The most difficult part of a street portrait is not other than having the right background. Unless you are carry a 2.8 or faster lens, the distraction of the background is usually too high. You cannot do much about it other than changing the perspective or shooting effectively with flash. In this case, the background was muted by a glass wall. However, if you are an expert in digital photo tools like Adobe Photoshop ™ you could improve the bokeh through layer manipulations.
