Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 23 October 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
Taken at 11:08 am this morning, Tuesday, 23 October 2007. I was standing just outside of Sydney's central Hyde Park, waiting for a bus. I was actually shooting a series of these two men with their advertising boards as the bus approached. I only just managed to get this particular one a moment before I had to enter. Lucky for me that there were a few other passengers before me because the previous shots all had passers by intruding.
This is, by the way, another one that wouldn't have been possible without the reach of the long end of my Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3. (That's the equivalent of 300mm in 35mm format that I used here, and the photo has been slightly cropped.)
Thanks for visiting my pages. I really do appreciate every comment made, and always return the favour.

Gosh! I didn't think that people still carried advertising boards, a great shot Andrew :)

@MaryB: Thanks, Mary. This is quite unusual, although I sometimes see people here in the city centre holding onto some kind of advertising sign.
Great shot :)
