shit one huge advanatge those canons have over nikons is exceptional noise handling

those images are so smooth

love the 1st one 2nd one is good too

on the first clone out that distracting white bits on the bottom of guys feet

Can I ask you why you used a slightly blue toned conversion in three of these images over a straight black and white? I do the same thing some times but i dont know exactly why.

Always interesting to observe street scape photos, and I like this lot. The night time element adds to the series. Not sure what that old guy is doing with the car in #1. I assume it is his car, but it looks a little bit dodgey, loitering.

Edited for Wendell -

I can see what you mean now - it is a lot cleaner and less distracting. Puts utter focus on the driver, rather than allowing the parking bay lines be a distraction.

Willy - I did do a b&w but it was quite boring. I had the blue tinge to make it a bit more different and hopefully interesting. That's the driver of the car If you thought he looked dodgy...should have seen me

i would go furhter to erase that big white thing under his foot too

then comp in Marlene Dietrich

Very very nice. Well captured elements of a that street.

I laughed when I saw the roses lady, I dont like their trade, but your pics present it well. Particularly capturing her in the middle of a "hustle".

nice shots!

[PiroStitch]

Interesting you mentioned that about the rose lady Oz 'cos I think he's the big daddy, not the one being hustled.

I like the style. Hard edged and raw black and white. Very reminiscent of over exposed Tri-X film. Similar to Leigh Starks style of work.

[PiroStitch]

Thanks Matt! Really humbled to be mentioned that my work is similar to Leigh's, let alone another top photog on this forum during a prior conversation with Leigh.

Well will keep working at it to nut down my own style - no use replicating what someone else has done.
