Good selection and yesterday was a nice day for a change.
They were lucky arranging the show so late in the year

Some very nice isolation of subjects Bob, and some lovely processing too

My kind of shots Bob

Are you sure this was a motor show and not just the resident footballers popping out to get a paper
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Funnily enough, my wife said the same thing - any visit to Wilmslow presents these opportunities usually!

Bob,are there any camera shops left in Wilmslow?

Nice shot of your daughter, pity the bollard
wasn't green, it would look more like it was
in a park.

Well, a quick spell in Photoshop could change its colour, but if I'm being honest its not something that really bothers me.

Not sure about the presence of camera shops. I've never seen one, but that's not to say it doesn't have one.

There used to be one big one, but I think it
eventually became part of a group that closed
down a couple of years ago, so unless someone
else took it, it's probably gone.

There used to be a few big name portrait photographers
there as well including one that also had a studio in
Harrods (Desmond Groves) but that was in the 70's/80's.

Certainly there was a pedigree there!

Not as good as the others, but thought I'd share all the same.

I like both of them, but just prefer the 2nd one slightly.
The reflection of the building makes it different, although
the yellow refection on the gull-wing door is a bit distracting.
It could easily be painted red..... or (slightly more work)
painted greyish to match the other wing

Good suggestion Algi.

I was very much draw to the reflection - but you are right, it being on the left door does jar a bit.

I'll definitely go play!
