MonoMonday Challenge - 174 A Running Dialogue

Thanks to everyone for participating in this week's MonoMonday Challenge!  I am going to be busy the next few days and hope to comment and give stars to everyone!  First entries are looking interesting and today may have been the toughest challenge yet this month?  No worries... next Monday MM175 is my last day to host for the month of May! I am just finishing the last touches for next week's theme.  I don't think it is too hard and should be enjoyable.  I will post the theme and the results for this week's challenge on Thursday.

Busy day - drop child #1 off to school, drive to office, work, drive home - game over.  A few pictures while on the move today and not the best to practice A Running Dialogue - at all.  I had hoped to come home a bit earlier to make a bit of One Street documentary.  But that didn't happen and this will have to do.  So here goes!

In the city - hang up telephone after a nice chat with Tomaz - stop light, car stopped - get out camera and set up in 10 seconds - focal distance 2m, f-stop f2, ISO 800, shutter priority.

Green light - 2 lanes - narrow - jostling cars and scooters - girl friends walking on side walk, pale pink dress, bright pink gym bag (click), round blue sign and white arrow dividing taxi lane and public lanes, bicycle and girl with same colors in middle of crosswalk (missed), man with big glasses and business suit on bicycle (missed), big intersection, pointy obelisk statue, crossing tram lines, orange tram, people getting off, girl in bright yellow dress waiting to get on (missed), scooter with man passing on my right, listen for scraping noise, no scraping, cars vying for position, follow orange tram, sun setting on opposite side of obelisk, tram tracks glistening, black car cutting me off (missed picture of tram tracks), shade again behind building, lane opening three wide for turning, red stop light on yellow post, stupid red lights on black car that cut me off, die! brick round structure on right opposite intersection, scooter coming up from behind, open passage toward the setting sun (I try to photograph this passage often with usual bad results), girl on the scooter, long legs, slow, wait, wait (click!)

ps, the first click was too far away and not that interesting.  I had to work within the circle fo 2 meters I set as the focal distance and hope to be lucky that something should fall in that circle during my drive home and at the right moment as possible to make a picture within the context of driving.

Happy blipping!
