Rock Bagpiper

Hi all, armed with my new 5D and 24-105 lens, I went into Perth CBD on Saturday morning specifically to get some photo's of an amazing street performer that I'd seen last weekend. He plays the bagpipes to a backing hard rock track very, very well. No, not Perth Scotland, Perth Western Australia .

Here are a couple of shots (processed in RawShooter and just reduced and sharpened for web viewing):

Love them, great character shots.

Inspiring shots, would like to see more posts like this, real people doing real things, well done and thank you for sharing.

Great captures! My favorite is the one of the old man just staring right at the musician (from the link)

Nice!

Thanks all, appreciate the comments.

SkWeEkiE, thanks! For anyone who didn't follow the link, here's the photo:

I'm sure it sounded great (and you captured it very nicely)
But really?! Those boots with a skirt like that??! OMG Way over accessorized!! i think he should go for a more simple and elegant look... totally just kidding!!
great shots!!

Fun series, nicely captured. The colors look great to me, skin colors are fine. He looks to be an interesting character.

That is so cool! Nice shots! Skin tones are spot on!

Nice shots. I need to get me some of those boots!

Thanks very much, appreciated. It sounded great. I'm only sorry I didn't know any of the tunes.

Haha, well said. I won't describe what he does at the start of the performance, but it just goes to prove what they say about a Scots and his kilt.

Simon....

Thanks to Rumrunner and Titus213 for confirming that the skin tones are good, I guess I'm still getting used to the new camera.

Thanks also so solinger, yes, the boots are cool. But, I would think you have to have the right attitude to pull them off
