We went to the “Cardiff after Cardiff” exhibition at the Wales Millennium Centre this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it, I love Street Photography and this was right up my street as they say.
Here is a link to the exhibition http://www.wmc.org.uk/Productions/2012-2013/18969/79765/?view=Standard
Here is the link to the blog that explains how this exhibition came about http://cardiffbeforecardiff.tumblr.com/
After the viewing we walked around the bay looking for photo opportunities using my film camera and my D7000 and Tamron 17-50 f2.8 and immediately came across a great couple sitting down enjoying an ice cream. I didnt want to shoot them candidly so I asked if they were up for a portrait and they gladly obliged 🙂
The main image at the top of the blog is of the Seamen’s Memorial Sculpture created by Brian Fell to the sailors of the Merchant Navy who lost their lives crossing the Atlantic Ocean during the Second World War and the building in the background is the Pierhead Building built in 1897 as the headquarters for the Bute Dock Company.
All in all it was a cheap afternoon out and I am looking forward to getting my film back to see the results, Cardiff Bay is a great place to shoot street stuff.

Simply fabulous!!! Great images and fantastic processing!!
Thank you 🙂
Great shots. I love the contrast between the grey clouds and the red brick of the building, these are fantastic colours. The man in your couple photograph has my logo on his cap! I want one!
I also wanted to say that HDR is a great processing choice for that top image, it deals with the metal of the mask very very well (as well as the clouds of course). I like to see HDR well used as I find it so overused in so many shots that IMO would actually benefit from simpler processing. So well done!
Great work
