After going for late night dessert and coffee, took a couple of pics while walking back to the car. The colour versions aren't anything to write home about, but after converting to b&w I liked them :)

The café I was in asked me to put away my camera as well 'cos they didn't want me taking pics of the restaurant. I was taking pics of my g/f and our empty coffee cups at the time...I held my tongue but they would have been lucky if I HAD chosen to take pics of their place. *sigh*

Wayne, I like 1, 2 and 4. Nice!

Everyone seems paranoid about having picture of them/ their business taken. Annoying!

Kudos for the comments guy :) *sigh* I'm not sure why but everytime I convert it to jpg it just doesn't look as nice :S I technically know why due to jpg compression, etc but it still annoys me to no end that the images lose impact when converted :evil:

I was surprised at the stark contrast between the colour and b&w versions of the pics. Due to the conversion, you wouldn't notice that these people in their cars were doing the usual laps, trying to impress and annoy the cafe patrons with their car.

Great Pics Wayne,

Brings back memories for me as I used to live around the noisey corner from Chappel Street.

Now it's leafy quite Eltham, I don't miss the Chappel Street Crawl.

Mic. :wink:
