In my welcome thtread I was told to post some photos. I've already posted some colour zoo ones, so here are some of my favourites from one of my other pastimes, from-the-hip street shooting while I go to pick up my lunchtime sandwich :)

What a really cool set, thoughton. "Wrong Tool" is awesome! Looks like you got caught in "Two Stares". Great stuff!

Those are really well done. I've done it occasionally, even sometimes by accident but I've never thought of them as b&ws. Those captures are wonderful!

Interesting pics. When I first looked at #1 it looked as if a meter maid was about to give some poor old soul a ticket!!:)

Thanks for the comments! I do enjoy this sort of photography, it's a lot of fun looking for the interesting shot and then getting back to the computer hoping that you haven't cut off a head or a foot (which happens all the time!). These are some of the better ones from the last few months, I also tend to end up with a lot of 'people walking' photos which are less interesting.

Oh I forgot to post this one as well, one of my favourite recent ones although not quite so 'street' as I was so obsessed with trying to fix the blown out highlights in this photo that I ended up replacing the burnt out bits with detail from another shot from the same spot but taken on a different day.

These are very hard to do well and I think you have some fine catches here.
