hi this is my first attempt at street shooting
the fruit and veg stall guy kicked off at me after i took some great shots so being nice i showed him me deleting the pics.i think he was just having a bad day to be honest.
any C&C welcome thanks and enjoy.
i hope you enjoy my little stories with the pics as this is my very first attempt it took alot of courage but i sure did like it alot

i call this one old friends
the guy on the right noticed me and asked what i was doing so i politly said sir i saw a great moment between you and your friend i just wanted to capture the shot.he replied at least someone will remember my face smiled shook my hand then walked away whistling a rather nice tune.

this just seemed a nice shot changed to sepia it looks like he is really enjoying the book letting the world walk on by him.

I call this Fruit Basket as in the guy is lol
he went absolutly mental with me screaming and shouting WTF do you think you are doing blah blah i just looked at him said fair enough and showed him deleting the pictures. i tried to capture the money exchanging hands i had a really good one with the coins falling from one hand to another but i had to delete it.

i call this one unknown.
unknown because i dont know and cant read his story is he looking at his phone with worry reading a msg. looking at a picture with memories. or simply looking at the time to see when the next train is arriving i will let you decide.

    I like the first two-- the toning really pulls me out of the 3rd. #5 I like the kid looking at you. The building shots don't do anything for me, sorry. ne_nau.gif.

    I do think you need to get closer, and in front of your subjects, the kettle told the pot. :D
