Street Photography - Bristol Centre - March 2014

A bright sunny day and few lenses. I used a combination of focal lengths: 17mm, 35mm & 135mm. I do find that the wider lenses are much better to get a sense of atmosphere, whereas the medium telephoto is goo for portraits.

Too much chat, on to the pics!

Shooting from the Hip

Those that have been following will know that I'm not shy when it comes to street photography and have probably noticed that I favour wide angle lenses and the quirky perspective distortion that they give.  Well, I thought that I'd try some composition-free, point-and-shoot shots; I simply had the camera around my neck, pre-focused to 2m and clicked away whenever I saw something semi-interesting.  I've left the angles alone as I think they add something.

Actor's Profile Shoot

Film maker & actor, Adam Morgan and myself have began working on some short films together. These images were shot in January (in one of the few dry & sunny days we had) for his acting profile.

Classic Car Rally

These were captured on a recent classic car rally, featuring mostly VWs.  Not ideal lighting or positioning of vehicles, but what ya gonna do?

The End of the Summer

These images were shot in October when the Summer seemed to be hanging on for an unusual amount of time.  Now mid-November, the sun & temperature already seem a distant memory.

Street Art in Stokes Croft, Bristol

Art or vandalism?  I've no idea, but the people that do this, I feel, are talented if sometimes a little bizarre.  Either way, I enjoy the images and find they make interesting photographic subjects,especially the dark & quirky images.

Kyshera at The Exchange, Bristol

Kyshera are a trio I discovered supporting the Daylight Fireworks a few years back.  Sound-wise, they remind me a bit of Rush but on steroids.

Being a bit further away in Cardiff, opportunities have been a bit limited and it was short notice but I didn't want to pass it up.

Uber Cute

A recent trip to a Bird of Prey centre and again, I found their Labradors photogenic; especially when it's a puppy chewing a twig.
