Some more Street Photography

[Rebel]

Excellent shots, Matt! I tried SP while on vacation, but until I edit them will I get to find out what was thinking when I took those shots. I am learning from you and other on this. In this series, I particularly favoured #1...and your guest appearance.
#2 is very strange indeed of that man...was he talking to the other men with him and he is illustrating something to them?
#3 That was a good one too -- both have canes, both have grocery bags, one a smoker and the other perhaps not + other stations in life I suppose...good catch there.
#4 What is a "Gregg's"? This will remind me that I need to continue on my diet when I go back home...ha!
#5 For the life of me, I cannot and feel odd photographing homeless people.
#6 If you crop this image a little bit and not clearly shown the bird is nearly standing on the rubbish bin, it would probably look like a mascot on a car bonnet. Good catch.
#7 I am liking the angle of this shot but not the subject...
#8 There is certainly a lot of drama to this man's face...Where is Alfred Hitchcock when you need him? LOL

Thanks Izzie

#2 - He is talking to the man on the right hand side of him, about what we'll never know

#4 - Greggs is a chain bakery, no idea what the equivalent is in the States?

You're definitely getting your eye in Matt. Nice conversion and 1,2 and 3 do it for me.

Having seen how you operate in #1, I'm not surprised you get the shots without people knowing Matt

I'd have thought 2m was a better pre-focus distance for your typical shots, but if it had been, you wouldn't have got #6 so well.

Cheers, Dave

Trivia of the day: we normally stop by Greggs and pick up lunch for Rebecca and Tom when I visit to take the 'Baby pics' series.

I cannot recall seeing any bakery store around here...I usually bake my own bread two times a week at least...I can't even find a real butcher here like we do in Oz. Butchers here are really just "shelf fillers". They got boxes of meat to put on the shelves of supermarkets. Then we buy bread and stuffs in the same stores too. Not good. In Oz, I do not have to buy bread and selections are great too. And always fresh meat you can order when not on the shelves, like a certain cut of meat I like -- New York steaks or something else...sausage skins to make my own sausages. I also buy fresh fish from the Asian stores an hour away from us. I am not complaining...maybe other states are different...just saying...
