Hello there Steemians!
A few months back, I created an original series called City Scenes exclusively for Steemit, brought to you in either color or black and white to showcase street photos I take some of which have been nominated for mobile photography awards and published in online magazines and Instagram hubs.
For this week's post, I'm going with color as I happened to be out last week in some very gorgeous, spring-like weather (in the middle of winter) which was very inspiring, indeed! And the light was super lovely, too. What's more, people seemed really happy to be able to mill about under the sun some with short sleeves and dresses, some with light coats and just suits but all with an extra bounce in their step! Good weather is always a good excuse for good moods and, of course to capture street shots to share with you!
So, without further ado, I hereby present my latest version of City Scenes!
.
It was so beautiful out , it felt so unreal and then we get hit with yesterday’s storm :D

Your posts just get better and better! I am no way surprised that some have been nominated for awards or published in magazines they are amazing!! It shows that it doesn't matter what camera you have it's the person behind the lens, and that's so true here, you are so talented at capturing street photography and people. Looks like there are some amazing characters in New York too!! Speak soon! :) xx

Hello there! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments too! I recently started to use an iPhone X - a reluctant change from my iPhone 6 which I loved. Both are excellent for photography. I also use a camera app called Hipstamatic which has cool retro looking filters.
I'm so glad you like the post, I also liked the lady with the tattoos!

Wauw!!!! This is such beautiful work!!! Congrats! I just joined Steemit earlier this evening and was out looking for likeminded folk when I stumbled upon your blog. Having just posted my very first entry here on Steemit, my account is nothing major yet, but I make street images as well, although very differently styled. Folowed.

Hi... Thank you for that!!!!! A quick question if you don't mind... I only got to see this comment of you now. Is there a way to get notified in Steemit of new comments on posts or replies on other peoples blogs? I feel really silly only getting back to you after 4 days... . Thanks in advance.

Hey there! Hmmm....good question! I haven't figured that out yet to be honest! I know what you mean, it's rather disconcerting to find comments days later especially building a blog. Here's a good intro by the fabulous @cryptofiend who's the go-to expert, hope it helps!

Be sure to keep us informed! Can't wait to see your post all about your new exhibit! Training's been on hold a bit this week, I think I overdid the last few weeks and needed a recovery week! That's my excuse anyway! Going to hop on the treadmill later and/or maybe an indoor bike ride but really get back to things tomorrow!

Good Lord! You're amazing! I'm lucky if I look in the direction of an indoor bike, it means I've managed to get to the gym to well, look in the direction of the indoor bike!
I will do. Early stages now, but I'm hoping and pushing for something nice in the summer! Fingers crossed!

Wow! These are great. This is my favourite genre of photography and you do it very well. It's inspirational and you've got me thinking that maybe I'll reconsider selling my long lens as that's the only way I can take candid street shots without the fear of having to get too close. I know I should work on getting closer and engaging with people for my own personal development, but then you kinda break the magic a little bit.
