This is pretty darn Good stuff and great camera work.

Very difficult to offer constructive C&C on these Smeggy.
They are stunning, particularly like Nos 6,7,16 and 18.
The girl in No10 is not only gorgeous, you have caught her brilliantly.

Top pics as usual, although some of the B&W's are too
hard for me.... they look like Grade 5 Paper was used!

A couple of intriguing processing techniques in 6 and 7 Smeg - care to share:

The event has been covered by one of my favourite street photographers and journalists, Peter Marshall:

You're starting to annoy me now Smeggy, how can you make a packet of ****** Chocolate Biscuits look so good!

Vic.

Sure - I can't remember the exact settings for #6, but it involved some judicious desaturation of various colours in light room, and general contrast adjustments. I tend to sometimes randomly adjust stuff until I like the result, so there's no methodology really.

#7 was done by applying a sigma 8mm ( I think ) fish eye profile in Lightroom to the pic. The opposite of de-fish

I had wondered how you'd done that! Great set although I can't get excited about the packet of biscuits, even if it is from Waitrose... Brian Cox is looking a bit rough in shot 11

Cheers Smeg - thank you.

Wonderful stuff, well executed.

Best regards

Excellent, how close are you to people when you take these as they look like they are unaware of being photographed?

Andy

Yes - I have the same query as Andy. If you were very close did you get the 'models' permission to photograph them. That apart - a great set of photos/street photography.

My favourites are #9 and #17.

Cheers....John

Wonderful shots, you have captured the mood! loved the shots in your gallery.

How close depends on the lens I have attached at the time.

I won't use the fish eye to get the funny big nose shots without asking permission thoughas you have to hold the lens about 1 cm from their nose

However with the other lenses there's never anything close enough to invade someone's personal space. I always present a friendly smiling face and if any one gestures or states they dont' want any pictures taken I respect that and move on.

At an event like the Slutwalk though they are all their to pose and protest and this want their pic taken.
