Went over to Liverpool after work last night with the intention of getting a few low light shots (afternoon shift is best for this,working 6-2 shift I'd be too knackered to stay out that late! ;) )
Spent a while wandering around trying to find a 'new' angle or two,watching the other photographers who were there ( and trying to avoid doing the same shots! ;) ).
Anyway I finally 'found' this angle,taken with the camera about 3 inches above the ground with me on my back!.The 'stars' are the lights underneath a handrail leading up the steps.The 'stars' aren't a filter,just the result of using f14 on the sigma 10-20mm lens,and yes I meant it to happen :)
Thanks for looking,
Chris.
PRIDE day in Jackson Heights.
* A performer on an outdoor stage at an LGBTQ+ Pride-related event based on the rainbow-themed backdrop and audience attire.
* The performer is wearing an elaborate floor-length red gown with rhinestone or crystal embellishments, oversized sculptural sleeves, matching gloves, and dramatic stage makeup.
* The open mouth and posture suggest singing, lip-syncing, or delivering a dramatic performance.
* Audience members in the foreground are watching and photographing the performance.
* The backdrop includes rainbow colors and signage reading “King of Queens,” suggesting the event is taking place in Queens, New York.
Description
The image captures a highly theatrical moment during a live performance. The vivid red costume dominates the frame and contrasts strongly with the multicolored background. The performer is centered, creating a formal stage portrait, while the audience and stage crew provide context and scale.
As a photograph
* Strong central composition.
* Excellent color contrast between the red costume and rainbow background.
* The audience at the bottom helps convey the event atmosphere.
* The peak expression (mouth open, dramatic pose) adds energy and narrative interest.
