Lads Broke

If they go inside, they may well end up broke. (For those outside UK PLC. Ladbrokes is a betting office.)
Another, from the shooting from the hip style. As an observation to myself, my hit rate is improving.
As a style of shooting, it can be somewhat hit and miss. But I am finding the hits are often more than I was expecting.
Had the Ricoh GR 1 (or digital, depending on your bent) set to Snap focus mode, which on this camera is 2.5m. As this was the first GR digital model, you only have the one choice of distance.
As a side note, on the Ricoh GXR you can select different distances. Nice. But with a 28mm lens just about everything is going to be in focus anyway.
Another side note, Ricoh GXR A12 M Mount and a voight 15mm = point and shoot city. Zone focus to what ever distance you are in the mood for, or circumstances dictate and shoot away with gay abandon.
Happy days.

No mates. Mates!

While on the subject of Garry Winogrand, this would irritate him as well, as it has clearly been cropped. Which raises the question, who am I shooting for, me or Garry? Boy can I learn from him, but you have to have your own style, what ever that may be. 

Juicy

Another from the ongoing shooting from the hip style. Garry Winogrand may object, but I like the angle.

Burn out

Takes me back to the 90's

Auto Porn 3



Hmmm

Pussy


Flower. Not flour.


Not my number one choice of subject but quite happy with the result.

Angel

Certainly not street, but an experiment. Wanted to see what sort of result I got bolting a Pentax 77mm Limited on to a Ricoh GXR A12 M Mount via a cheap adapter. Nice enough. Jpeg straight out of the cam with no fiddling.

Fat

My other title choices were going to be, out with the bins or put out with the rubbish.

Back to the future

Now here's something you don't see ever day. Although there was a hover board in seat, this one had no flux capacitor. The brushed metal finish looked the muts nuts in the flesh though.


Standing in a line

Shot looks better cropped but the original has it's own appeal.

New way of walking?


Shooting from the hip 3

Shot from the hip in passing. Always look forward to the rather random results you get from this style, as no conscious/deliberate/chosen framing is involved. Quite like the captured expressions.
