Busker shot with 5D and 70-200 f/4 IS + 1.4x TC

Hi there, I thought some of you may be interested in seeing the 5D plus 70-200L f/4 IS and Canon 1.4x Mk II Teleconverter in action.

So, I went and 'shot' this moonwalking busker in Murray Street Mall in the CBD area of Perth, Western Australia. These are RAW's, developed out of RawShooter and then just resized, minor sharpening and perhaps a smidgeon of 'Shadows/Highlights' in PS CS2.

Here he is, warming up (124mm):

Not one comment? Fair enough I'll work harder next time...

Hmm, they're candid shots. Not much else to say really. Colour is good, focus good. The problem with these kind of photos is that you were in the moment which means you can relate and they mean more to you or envoke something different for you than for us just looking at them; therefore, if they are technically good, there's not much more to say really. You can easily pick the American/European (#3) and Japanese (#6) tourists. lol

Nice series of shots, shows the versatility of this combo, thanks for sharing

They remind me of some buskers I've seen.

Great reach and colors. I dig it!

I'd bet that the "willing assistant" was a shill.

Some nice candid street shots here. Good stuff.

Intersting shots. Nice lighting in all.

Fair call, csm328. Hadn't thought of it that way. I should have posted in the technical forums. Appreciate the candour.

Thanks to all of the others for your kind comments. SingingSabre, I wouldn't bet that she was a 'plant' (if I interpret 'shill' correctly). Us Aussies are usually willing to participate in something like this, we don't mind making a fool out of ourselves

Simon....

Nice shots! He must have put on a hec of a show it looks like he has a pretty big crowd stopped there.
