2006.12.09 Unimpressed

Des Voeux Rd, Central, Hong Kong

Maybe they have seen it all before.

I was on the other side of the building taking photos of people's feet (not right yet; I'll post one when I've got what I want) when I heard the crunch. I didn't realise what it was, and it was only when I went to catch the bus 10 minutes later that I saw what had happened.

A while later a single ambulance rolled up, rather leisurely, so (as I would have expected) it seems there were no serious injuries in this minor accident.

A complementary viewpoint

features in the Images less lucky gallery today.

I cheated a little on this. I accidentally took it at f/10; but I didn't want the background sharp (as it was distracting), so I blurred it a little in post-processing.

Peerless expression, one was unimpressed by what he's seen and the other was simply oblivious, while the others in the background were probably anxiously discussing what happened. Wise choice of selective blur and composition too. Sorry but I must say that it's a fantastic catch!
