I was dragged to Oxford Street today

[Nick F]

C&C welcome

[BroadbandPlacey]

love 2 and 4, quite classic shots,

not a fan of the first one, i get the thought behind it, a good idea, it just doesnt do it for me.

#2 is best of the bunch for me.

Personally i don't like the B&W/Colour combo on #1 but each to their own

[Jonny]

I love 2 and 3. 4 is really good as well!

1 made me laugh. Not 100% sure why.

2 & 4 are my faves the old man in the first one does not look real! lol

[Funkstar]

cool photos

i've never been confident enough to take photos of random people in the street. How do others do it?

[EvilWeevil]

The telephoto lens is your friend

[Tomahawk]

These photos look great.. Love "Through the Leaves" they're really sharp which is great. Also love the "It's been a long Day".... as said number one made me laugh, looks like something out of the Adams Family.. meant in the best possible way.

through the leaves is the kiddy for me

Dark colours working well, depth and then pure brightness through the leaves.

Be proud....I would be

I find it really difficult to get candid pics of people going about their daily business, even got one old woman in Croatia running at me waving a plastic bag and shouting 'Polizia'! Conclusion - telephoto is pretty valuable, but being foreign and pretending not to understand - Priceless!

I don't really mind taking pictures of people. In "The Time To Talk" the subjects did not even know I was taking a picture. I was standing about 10 metres away and just pointed and clicked when the camera was by my waist.

I generally don't go up to people's faces but I will if the picture needs it and I know they won't get annoyed.

Oh and a telephoto lens helps

Thanks for the comments!

[Funkstar]

i *really* want to get hold of the Canon 70-300 IS lens i've got on back order,would make these sorts of shots easier

1 & 3

2&4 feel a bit meaningless by comparison.

[Hans Voralberg]

2 and 4, great candid there

[Nick F]

Cheers guys
