Square series
Thought I'd try something different by going for square crops. Other point to note is that these were taken without looking through the viewfinder. Some I estimated the focussing distance and used MF for all unless stated otherwise. Cradling the camera at waist height allowed me to see the exposure reading and the shutter speed was adjusted to suit.
Where are you? 
Lovers Lane 
I used AF for the above pic Crossing

Really enjoying this. I'm tempted to get a Zigview now since the AUD is doing quite well but then again, not seeing what I'm shooting exactly makes it more exciting! Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone

Wayne,
I like where you're going with these. They have a nice feel to them, and I do think that you're achieving your goals here. In case you're not aware of this little trick, for this style of shooting you can pull down on the camera so that there's tension on the neckstrap around your neck. You're now using your body as a form of tripod to help with the slower shutter speeds you're going to be encountering in this type of work. Keep the tension applied as you release the shutter. g.

Of course, you should be careful with this technique if your shoulder strap is elastic - make sure you don't let go too quickly or you'll have a bungy cam 
Nice shots - the square crop works well. *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Thanks for the tip Gary. Will try it out next time. Might help with having the horizons level.
The first one really looks like New York except for the sign at the top  Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone

top work mate, admiring it!
bah.. jump camp and go 5D or remain hopeful that nikon will catch up with its high ISO performance.. as for the waist level/pulling down on neckstrap style shots, i always seem to get weird stares from passers by. i guess they think that im up to something sinister/mischievous as it does i guess, hint at stealth? (unintentional of course!) -j
Not wanting to get into yet another Canon "smoothness" vs Nikon "noise" debate here, but quite frankly I expect - indeed want - to see noise in this sort of shot. Without the "grain" these shots would not have as much appeal. *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
I saw this go up and flickr but didn't have a chance to comment, my favourite here is #2, I love it, something about the fact they aren't walking in the light.. I don't know but it has a strong appeal to me.
I also like the last one, and think the fact the couples identity is hidden really adds to the shot.
