I like number 3 a lot.
Number 1 doesn't do much for me, but I find the aircraft trail a little distracting.
Number 2...can't make my mind up. My first reaction was "It's not straight". However, I don't think straight would look right, so my next thought was "It's too straight"! Maybe I just haven't woken up yet

I'm with you on No. 2 Ted. I keep thinking it's too straight. As for the jet trail in No. 1, I wanted it to be bigger and more obvious, but that's what you get when you shoot wide angle. No. 3 is my favourite too.
Thanks for your comment.
Gareth, these modern sports stadia all seem to look the same so I can see the resemblance to Cardiff. The black and white treatment of No. 3 seems appropriate considering the team colours of NUFC.

Yes Andy. I think he was a window cleaner. I would have got in closer for a picture but only had the 10-20mm lens with me as I prefer to do my city centre photography travelling light with just one lens and one camera body. Another time I might have had the DA*50-135mm with me.Is that a person in no 1 on a ledge high up?

It's a toughie, but I think number 1 works best for me David. I do wish the club emblem wasn't in the shadows though, and the building on the left looks a little curved.
I like the processing in 3, but the crop feels a little tight especially at the top.
Number 2 doesn't do much for me I'm afraid.

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW (you could go for the 100 if you want really small) for walking around like that. It's perfect - takes camera and up to four lenses but with just one or two extra you don't even know it's there and you can just 'sling' it around for a quick change if you need too. Couple of extra pockets for bits and pieces - add the bottle accessary pocket if you want to carry water as well. No I don't work for LowePro !alfpics wrote:

The starkness and the lines work for me in No 3. It's good.

[/quote]Thanks for that FF but it's a deliberate choice to travel light for street photgraphy. One camera, one lens and nothing else to clutter me up. I use a camera bag with more gear in it at other times.

Definitely number 3, David. It had real strength and structure. No. 2 is interesting but a bit "busy", almost too many reflections. No.1 is rather awkward and clumsy, to my mind. All technically proficient, though.
Best wishes,
Andrew

More from my shoot around Newcastle United's St James Park a few days ago, using the Sigma 10-20mm lens on a K5.
