Kings Arms, Oxford

Kings Arms, Oxford
I have bought myself a new 70 - 200mm lens and thought I would try it out in Oxford.

I particularly wanted to photograph the writing on the side of the Kings Arms Public House plus the ‘HOLYWELL STREET’ sign to see if it was all readable @ 200mm.

I was most surprised that at the very instant I pressed the shutter this young lady stopped in front of the letters O, L, Y and W and partially obscured the letters H & E and one of the L‘s.

So, as well as checking out the clarity I also, accidentally, captured a candid shot :-)

, Léopold, David Michael, and 4 other people have particularly liked this photo

These passers by really have very little consideration for the timing that goes into technical testing..... Great that you can at least get a fine street candid out of the debacle ;))

Absolutely, David! She surely must have known that I wanted her to walk on by! Thank you for encouraging me to accept that, at least, I did have a shot that was ok to upload to ipernity :-)) And, thanks very much for seeing past the debacle and adding the end result to your faves :-))
