Austin Image 18

The title is no doubt cryptic. Not seen in this particular frame is the name of the foreground hot dog stand --Best Wurst.

Austin's culinary treats at such a lovely corner ;-) I hope they add a handful of chili?

@MadScientist: I think they actually used a ladle or a spoon for that.

Daryl from Amagasaki, Japan

Is the guy foremost forward... ok?

@Daryl: I think so. Homeless I presume, but otherwise seemed to be ok.

@gbe: One of my favorite places in Austin, but I don't get there much.

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Hong Kong

A gritty street scene with a nice melange of bizarre city types. Makes me glad I don't have to go to the city very much.

@Michael Skorulski: I like it there myself. Looks like you're moving around. Seems like last time I noticed your tag said Slovakia.

Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa

Great street shot, I love shots like this, I, however - unlike you - never seem to get them quite right!! Nice work

@Mandy Provan: I love street photography too ---but don't get to do it much. You might check out this site if you like street photography. But as far as getting the right shot goes, i think it's just a matter of patience, practice, and volume --which probably all boils down to volume --or taking a lot of pictures.

Cia from Kvänum, Sweden

Great shot and thanks for your visit my blog.
If you like old churches and castle, so you should visit Sweden. Welcome

Sandy from Ontario, United States

Great scene...I also love how you get blur from movement in your shots...I usually just delete them..not perfect enough for me...but maybe now I will reconsider....

@Sandy: I'm not sure what you're referring to in this image. I don't believe there is any movement blur. The foreground blur is a product of the DOF --and focal point on the people in the background.

danthro from Suburbia, United States

funny name for a hot dog stand :) another nice street shot. like the expressions, especially the guy who looks like he's wondering what you're doing taking his photograph
