Jack Broadbent on the slide guitar

Saw the very talented Jack Broadbent performing on the street in Islington tonight. He was doing some fantastic slide guitar using a hip flask as a slide.

 

I focussed on the eyes 85mm @ f/2 and then used a layer mask in Elements to desat the background.

Old Friends

A candid take on a park bench in Islington. Used the Canon 50mm f/1.2L wide open on a 5D Mark II. Despite some of the reports on the web I'm impressed with the wide-open quality of the 50mm.
