Random street out takes

For sure I used the wrong lens... would like to have got closer, much closer and I'm about a second behind the moment I wanted and the composition is off on all of these.

They really don't have the "feel" of what I hope to do... but I thought I'd share these from the cutting room floor

They're not to bad, Jim. Where you shooting from the hip? The first photo looks like it was made using the camera on a lower perspective.

We've all got a few of them but that's the problem shooting in a town, with lots of people around.

Karen... thanks! First one I knelt for...

I don't mind shooting in town... and people around never bothers me... I just very rarely have the chance to do it as I live in the countryside! It's why a lot of my work is more portrait and project orientated

It might be as the images are still in my browser memory... but then, Karen got to see them?... so I'm at a loss. Don't worry mate - you really did not miss too much
