Went into Newcastle this afternoon, and took the 100F with me and did what is now known as a bit of a Joblin-with-a-g, i.e a bit of street shooting. It’s not really my normal thing, and I do have nerves going off when I’m shooting random people, so I’m not at John’s level – check his stuff out HERE
but here’s a few I managed
That did remind me of John’s street work. Newcastle has a great deal to offer, to the observant photographer. It has to be said. π
Best wishes, Pete.

Indeed, and as my Mum used to say, ‘the sights you see when you haven’t got a gun’ springs to mind so often when I’m there! π€£ one day I’ll pluck up courage to shoot the weird π€£π€£

I like street photography, but it really is hard to do well. Just getting out there is key, but getting comfortable is also key. And being savvy. A woman in LA was murdered after she took a picture of a street person – he didn’t like being photographed. That said, it really is fun to go out with a limited camera, small, 50mm or so lens, and see what happens. I enjoyed these!

Thanks Naomi, one of the people I shot saw me and asked me not to put it on line, so I didn’t include it, have to respect that.

I agree. Too many people think that the downtrodden, especially, are fair game. If you live on the street, you are mine to photograph . . . I think respecting privacy is important, but as well, if you are out there, you are fair game. At least here in the US that is the case.
