If I had to pinch one of those handbags, It would be the first.
The old Biddy in the last shot looks like she'd have none of it. She seems to be thinking, "Go on, try it... Just try it, and see what you get!"

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

How many of our readers would rememeber who Ena Sharples was? or a hair net, even!
Super shots. Interesting to use the 200 for street photography.
I had a quick go last week as well but used my son to "pretend" to pose while I shot over his shoulder!

Oddly enough, I was in Manchester a few weeks ago and ended up in a Wetherspoon pub on Deansgate for lunch. They had a huge photo upstairs of Ena and Minnie Caldwell.

Well this opens up the usual debate about how a long lens like the 200 introduces perspective that makes the viewer more remote from the subject while a wide angle close up will draw the viewer in.
I'm not sure what I take away from these three shots when you look at something like link then look at his posts and web site. He's had little old ladies go for him and almost knock his camera from his hand. He has some great shots and some not so hot.
Also the brickwork looks odd here and there, have you applied some softening?

There is never a point when I shoot free. I'll photograph most people and just about anything. When I shoot commissions, it's a different matter. Sorry to say this but what is the point in taking these?

Yes, softening has been applied. Mainly playing with the images.Well this opens up the usual debate about how a long lens like the 200 introduces perspective that makes the viewer more remote from the subject while a wide angle close up will draw the viewer in.

Come on there has to be a point to taking and displaying a photograph. You made an active decision to take it and then to share it.
As I said I am unsure what I am supposed to take away from these shots.
I thought something was confusing my eyes - glad it's not just old age but softening!

Seriously Mike, when I have a camera in hand, I'll see some one or thing and fire away. I don't generally take stock of what and why. Now and then I'll see some thing that I consider needs work or as I term it "work the shot and try to visualise the result". By the way, these are six years old. I hold several thousand street and people images from all places I visit.Come on there has to be a point to taking and displaying a photograph.

Maybe I should have posted the un-softened versions.
As always, all comments are valid and taken with respect.
