Quite a mixed batch in here Smeggy, and some really great ones. I love the clocks (No 7) and the look on the lady's face in No 6. Nos 4, 5 and 12 are great abstract shots which I like a great deal. No 2 is a bit boring TBH, and it is a shame that the lady in No 3 is so close/clipped by the edges of the frame. Overall, however, your Canary Wharf adventure netted some lovely images.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice set, and varied too.. 4, 9 and 12 are my favourites: I like the clocks shot too but my OCD nature is offended by the sides of the outermost clocks being missing.
4000 shots from one stock car meet? Did you have a K5 glued to each eye?

I wondered about that too but couldn't decide if it really bothered me or not. I guess it does. Oh well...... but my OCD nature is offended by the sides of the outermost clocks being missing.

No 1 should definitely be in colour, as the first impression given is that he ia a policeman, but on the second look you can see he is a security guard whose uniform is close to a police one! One for the lawyers!

Hi.
Great set, illustrating the area well. Number 9, is my favourite.
Take care.

Nice set, I prefer to colour to the B&W. Some of the B&W
is too OTT for me.

Cheers peeps
the clock pic arrived on the computer with one of them cropped off a bit - bugger!!! - So I cropped the other one off a bit as well.
I was also a bit miffed about cropping to close to the girl in #3 but chose it as a keeper cos I like the pose and hair flicked back.
#12 was taken by placing the camera facing vertically in the base of a steel apple statue that was situated to the front right of the tall building in #11. I dunno if it was a coincidence that the sides of the building aligned with the vertical elements of the apple or if it was deigned that way.

Smeggy; in my opinion this is your best set yet. Every one of them I rate very highly.
The relaxed way the security guard is posing in number one;
The composition in number two;
The very interesting pose you've caught in number three;
The surreal perspective of four and five;
The almost half smile of number six. Fantastic expression.
love the composition of seven - those clocks are superbly positioned and you've chosen a perfect aperture to create a depth of field yet not alienate the background.
I love the perspectives of 10, 11 & 12.
I'm very jealous. Enough said.

Welcome to volume two
I'm currently sorting out the pics from my Stock car race meet. But nearly 4,000 of them is taking some time, so in the meantime some more docklands pics.
