Even More Stranger Street Shots

Back out in the dark alleys & edgy side streets around South Kensington, lurking and leaping with the K7 and Tamron 135mm f2.8, I caught these latest unsuspecting strangers unawares. As usual went for an eclectic mix of characters just standing there doing their thing.

Thanks for taking a look, hope you've enjoyed it - all C & C most welcome!

These are great especially No. 4 Looks like the shops
have decent lighting.

Were some of them connected to Tudor royalty?

Very stylish, Nigel. Some of these would really suit a mono conversion, I reckon.

There s is one in here Nigel that stands head and shoulders (excuse the pun) above the rest and that one is number 4. I appreciate the humour in these shots, but I appreciate the image of the fourth one even more, it really does hit home. It's the framing, the isolation from the background and the sharp incisive nature that attracts me.

4 is fab

You see, that's why I love reading comments on here.
I knew I loved number 4, but couldn't have articulated it like that.

Thankyou Algi, glad you like them, and I don't even mind if they raise the odd chuckle here and there.

You're right, I'm lucky with the lighting around there, almost like having a studio set up professionally for me! I do have to choose the angle carefully to avoid reflections, so I will gladly claim some credit for the results. The ability of the lens does amaze me (its a 40 year old / £40 item! ), and I have only minimal contrast enhancing work in order to remove all signs of the windows completely.

Thanks Andrew, and thanks to all who have commented here ... Sorry I've been diverted with extension tube issues!

I'll try a couple on mono, any ideas which ones would suit it best? No4 is the clear favourite ... I was a bit unsure with this one as if was a but duller in the lighting and I thought it was too dark, but I shouldn't have worried! Thanks again for all your replies.

No.5 might be good as the blue scarf is a bit of a distraction.
