Greg, I was wandering around Chinatown with my new camera the other day too. Lots of interesting stuff to shoot in Manchester.

It really is an interesting city when you wander down backstreets and look upwards, rather than at your shoes. Lots to see, interesting places, odd people.

I spent the day on Sunday in and around Soho, London taking street portraits. All these images are of people I persuaded to pose for me.

Struggling a bit in January, but managed to find a couple I like.

An urban sunset

The wild, green, winter woods

Bit of wildlife this time 🙂

Grum – nice write up and great photos.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for reading/viewing. 🙂

Nice ^^^^

Looks almost like setup lighting but I’m assuming it’s natural?

My old girl Molly (age 15 and a half)

Yes it was available lighting rather than set up lighting. And it was also completely candid he was waiting to meet somebody and it dawned on me that the way he was standing would like a great picture. It was helped by the fact that the early morning lighting was soft and diffused by the cloud.

Don’t know what it is about your photos GeeTee, but too many on a page brings my computer to a standstill.

That doen’t sound good. Sincere apologies. It could just be that the computer doesn’t think much of my work and is spitting its dummy out in protest!

The same GeeTee, I have been waiting for the thread to tip over to page 151 for a bit now. Page 150 just melts my poor laptop for some reason! From what little its allowed me to see great pics mind!

I’m particularly pleased with the commentary that this portrait has going on in the background!

What are you shooting GeeTee? Why does one image take…
5 minutes & counting?

Something different from me this time.

I am really sorry about this. I don’t know why it would suddenly be a problem. I’m simply linking directly to the picture on Flickr and yes the file size is on the larger side (I think around 10mb?) but that’s pretty manageable these days.

I’m doing a photo a day challenge using the mission:pic app which gives you daily assignments. Today’s was ‘lines’:

Are we allowed to modify pics?

Andy that is fabulous but I can’t help but think I’ve seen him somewhere before? Did he do a series of short documentaries on diet?

Cheers GT.
Diet? Knowing this chap, anything is possible!

I think it was a reference to the Fast Show 😉

Yesterday’s mission:pic assignment was ‘shadow’.

Ah, fast show…

This week i have been mostly eating…

Like that street light.

Andy I think this is some of the best work I’ve seen you post since I’ve been following you (though it has obvious appeal to me). The strip light behind that chaps head is a bit of a shame but there’s not much you could have done about that and it’s still a wonderful environmental portrait.

More please.

Cheers GT. Aye one of those rules isn’t it, never let anything bisect the subjects head.
I like environmental portraits. If i had to choose a style of photography that i feel most at home with then that would be it.

Velvia, a film i always find a little tricky and occasionally throw my toys out of the pram with..

I know it’s a sunset but best I’ve got. Taken today at fistral. Sony Rx 100 MK 1, no editing.

In the lab today,
