This is something of an exercise for me of weekday shooting that I am going to try and integrate into my life. 24 hour-ish turn around of an interesting image at some point in my normal work-week. This was taken Wednesday evening using my current favorite set up, the "1.4 Nifty 50" with street wrist-strap on the body.

I struggled with the title / thread description for the shot last night and during the day today, but finally knew that they are basically 'Mates on a break and having a good Chin Wag*. Technically, I think I stuffed it up. But that's a part of street shooting.

*Australian for conversation amongst close friends. Chin wag, the energetic movement of the mouth during a long conversation...

    I would urge you to just call your thread/threads Chinese Street Shooting (with a number) - skip the damn titles. The photos should speak for themselves. It doesn't matter what you call this image - it's simply an excellent street photo. Let us twist our brains into knots trying to figure out what's going on here. When photographer's put titles on images they lock those images into boxes - don't do it! wings.gif
