Christmas Market Lady

First street walk in a long time. I actually underestimated the packed city, so I ran through a slightly smaller Christmas market, trying to escape the stressful shopping crowd.

MERRY XMAS :)

Step down

It is always worth taking a picture from underneath the big staircases at ‚Wandelhalle‘ (central station). The silhouettes of people walking down in combination with the dirty plexiglas(?) can result in a nice grungy high contrast look.

Girl waiting at central station

Lurking around at central station, hoping for some decent street shots, I was lucky catching a very brief moment, where nobody was running through my composition!

Lunch break dreaming

Walking around the Alster, I spotted this young man in a suit, taking a little nap in the sun. Genuine lunch break :)

Fairy boat man

Yesterday, I ran into this cashier at the fairy boat stop. He seemed to be eagerly waiting for some customers…

Paperwork

Walking down the streets, I already noticed that fella outside a cafe from far distance. He was intensely looking through some paperwork, which would have made a perfect shot imo. With no time to waste I sneaked up on him. Just by the time I raised the camera to my eye, he put his head up. Damnit – caught in the act again! Well, something you have to consider shooting street :)

What time is it?

Yet again I went to the harbour looking out for some nice candid street shots. At the sightseeing bus stop I saw this slighty confused gentleman on the phone. While stepping closer, I realized he was talking to the sightseeing company, beeing irritated by the departure times.

Hope they didn’t let you down and you had enjoyed your ride, buddy! ;)

Harbour sunset

An ‚older‘ picture from 2015. The sun was about to go down at the harbour, producing some sweet rim light on the girls silhouettes.

Traffic

At the pier there was a lot of traffic, thanks to the sunny (but cold) day. Almost felt invisible since none of the people paid attention to me and my camera.

Lounge around the harbour

Walking by the harbour during golden hour, a bunch of men lingered in front of me. As the sunlight was just incredible, it didn’t took me long to try to ban the scenery onto the sensor.

Wish I had waited a second longer to let the guy on the left enter the entire frame.
