Drive By Shooting

A highly entertaining set, looks like you were spotted when you got the finger off the lad on the bike
They look like a motley crew outside the pub, I like that one.
I think the jogger is very good, minimilisti, urban and reportage in style and feel, the grainyness works well, very much my thing.
I like the low key effect in Jims Bistro.
Hooded man is good and would work well in mono I think.
Great stuff

I think you were clocked a couple of times Smeggy. Great set of images. What ISO were your fastest images snapped at? I've just posted one from North Shields shot at 51,200 ISO.

I love it when they look at the camera.
The faster shots were ISO51200. EXIF data is all in there.

The couple in the first shop look so intense. I think it is my favorite out of this set.
I really enjoy seeing this type of work, and what one can do with the camera.
I know that Darlene said that her photo, the one that won the curves comp, was a drive by shooting. I find it fascinating, as I too have tried different shoots like these.
Thank for sharing it all!

Joel Meyorwitz is a pretty good exponent of this technique

Just checked him out. cool stuff.
I think this kind of shooting increases in interest as the pics age. What might be mundane now will be of incredible interest in a few decades.
I'm a big fan of Vivian Maier.

Excellent stuff! I can live with that much noise, as long as I got the photo.
