Out of the comfort zone.

Well nearly.

Went down to the Quayside this morning and really wanted to try some street stuff. Failed miserably as I just can't get the knack of getting up close and personal!

Ended up my putting on the 10.5 just to feel at home!

Re: Out of the comfort zone.

Pity you didn't get a bit closer to the preacher. I like the hat shot, but I think it would have been better if you had included the sign showing their price, rather than cutting it off on the left hand side.

But then "hat tricks" are not that common in Toon at the moment.

Re: Out of the comfort zone.

I like them mate. Particularly the first one and the hats. Preacher I think needed a different angle. Maybe you a bit closer or wider ap. The background is a bit distracting. Also you could try BW on the first and preacher. Don't know if it'd be better, just different. I think BW often suits the street stuff.
Certainly wouldn't say you failed at it though. Pretty successful if you ask me.

Thanks James, I didn't feel at all comfortable getting any closer. It's something I'll have to work at - maybe limit myself to a 50mm!
Thanks for the suggestions.
