Waiting for a taxi 1999

This is on the Promenade outside the Bierkeller at around Midnight, July 1999  which before the licensing laws  were relaxed used to be chucking out time. The woman on the phone is ordering a taxi. Her friend is occupied  with the  chap in the middle - who  seems to have rather large hands. You can just see his friend next to him, who didn't get so lucky looking slightly bored.

My technique here was to set the shutter speed to match the ambient light and then fill it with flash to make it sharp, with the intent of capturing the atmosphere of the scene.

The Bierkeller , just opposite Central Pier is a great little underground bar where I enjoyed a few steins with friends.
