Entertainer 'Ali G' at Manchester Piccadilly Train Station.

Experimenting with a combination of simple effects and selective

colouring ... What do you think of the result?

I like the texture in this one. Ali could be sharper and his skin has a bit of an orange cast. It has good character. I like it.

Thanks for your comment :) Yes, my hands shook just a teeny weeny bit so his face wasn't sharp as I'd have liked. Also, the original lighting at the station was orange, hence the cast. I'll try and correct for this and repost to see how it'll look then.

Cheers!

I was told the other day that I look just like this guy!

Humm......I don't know if that was an insult or a complement?

Well, there is a resemblance ;) As to whether it was a compliment or an insult, I don't know :) But I'm ever the optimist, so since he's young, rich and famous(?), I guess you could take it as a compliment, or at least as a sign of things to come...

Thanks for looking :)

I think this is THE shot, a pity on the sharpness else the rest is just perfect including the busy background.

How did you find this guy? Original AliG?

Yes, the original Ali G :) Accept no imitations ;)

I was having a walkabout taking photos in and around Manchester city centre when I noticed him and a companion at the train station buying something, so I walked up to him, asked if I could take a photo, and he was only too happy to oblige.

The pose was entirely his :)

You lucky bastard! XD

 

Now you can invite more celebrities to shoot by saying "I've already captured him..." next time Madonna perhaps...

hehehe :)

I like how you coloured the background and the light on ALI is good a nice picture.
