Very interesting, I never know that the union flag has a right way up. But I guess i can be forgiven since I am nor a British.

I always thought that the union flag is the combination of the Scottish and the English flag together. Correct me if I am wrong

LOL! That is what the taxpayer's money is for. 20% vat. on our camera bodies and lenses. Maggie created picture opptunities for us. I was not old enough to take part in the riots of maggie years for photos. Such a shame.

Street photography is closely related to documentary photography.

Take a look at the following link:

I love every single pictures posted on there

Hi Dave,

I had a look at your images, they are not too bad, in fact I also took a look at your flickr page and found there are some interesting street photo there which you didn;t post on this forum.

I am not any professional to street photography. but let me try to point out a few tips for you.

I like your first image but I guess if you can shoot a little wider would be better, so that the whole person and the bike are in the frame,

the 2nd photo is very good, well done.

the 3rd one is ok, but is just the background is not the most interesting one.

the 4th one, is boring, if you go to the side of that person and compose it just the the 3rd photo would do it, I assume it is a long high street where you took this photo, in this case you will have a background with lots of depth and your shot will become a lot more interesting.

the 5th shot, I love it, is nice that you have the main subject enjoying her ice cream and also there is a person walking towards the opposite direction as a background, nicely composed and you see what depth of a photo can make a different with this shot.

the last shot of the set is awful, maybe because the poundworld sign, it is too modern to be in a B&W photograph and poundworld has to be blue in my mind.

nice

Nice set of photo.
I like 1,3,4 and 6
