Erhu Winter

Happy Friday World of Steem!

This is my entry in @juliank's street photography contest which ends each Friday. Although buskers can be found here and there on the streets of HK, it isn't nearly as prominent as say, most major European cities.

I stumbled upon this guy a couple of days ago while on my normal route home from work. He's playing the traditional Chinese two string instrument - the Erhu. See wiki for details.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhu

Interestingly, he'd assembled a kind of rudimentary mic/pick-up with a small speaker for amplification, as you can see in the pic.

This photo was shot on my Nikon D5600 and edited with Polar. Thought I'd try something different than Lightroom ;)

So... what aspects of Polar did you prefer over Lightroom? Would you recommend Polar to someone who has never given it a chance (AKA me and I'm sure many others ;) ?

Not sure I prefer it but thought I'd give it a try. This was the first photo I've used it with and it seems pretty intuitive and easy to use. Give it a shot and see what you think ;)

Would have to agree with that! Great shot

Hey...Let me know what you think of Polar..seems like a solid alternative to Lightroom

A very good shot! :-)

Thanks :)
