times but I have never seen these break dancers
so I was really lucky to come a cross them. I was walking to the S-bahn and saw a crowd and heard music so naturally I had to check it out. They were a group of three guys dancing to a boom box that they brought. They were really talented and you could tell they really liked break dancing and performing for a crowd. I knew I had to take pictures of them because they were all over the place. I set my camera on continuous so I could get pictures like these because one second they were up in the air and the other second on the ground so I had to be quick.
The picture above is interesting because the dancer is still in the air and his body is curving around the frame of the picture. The sidewalk and the on lookers give the picture depth and are lined up diagonally towards the upper right of the picture. There is open space in this picture but I think it helps the picture breath and shows the area where he is. This picture is not symmetrical but it feels balanced.
The second picture is one of my favorites because there are a lot of different elements in it. The lines of the sidewalk create a vanishing point and line up nicely in the bottom corner of the picture. I like how he is actually pointing towards the vanishing point and creates a flow for the photo, reading it left to right. I have just enough onlookers to get the feel of the environment but still keeping the dancer the center of attention. There are a lot of vertical lines in the picture, with the people, light posts, buildings and scaffolding. After their performance they went around and asked for, "a little money for the dancers." They were actually really good so I couldn't resist. What a fun way to make some money!
