I like your photo, especially since my grandmother is from Bridlington. It's a good photo in and of itself.
Sounds as if you had a lovely day out Shaun.Thank you kind sir, I only looked at the result when I was eating my fish n chips, was quite happy how it turned out

Very good Iain. Reflections, reflected images, seem to be a regular theme in your work.View attachment 32192

Put the kettle on!Indeed B. - it endlessly fascinates me for several reasons. Any still image starts life as three dimensional objects rendered onto a flat plane. I have always enjoyed trying to alter this - and stack up the layers. Of this type of picture - the best for me are the ones that initially confuse the viewer. It might not be entirely obvious what we are looking at. It takes time to unpick the layers. It's also a technique that lends itself to surrealism - which I'm rather fond of in street photography. To find the unusual in the ordinary. The weird in the mundane. Another good trick is to - discreetly - include the photographer in the picture - that's another layer. The viewer can see me taking the picture they are looking at. On a more prosaic level - the pictures I posted that you commented on were taken in the middle of the afternoon in harsh, harsh Spanish light. It's good for very little other than turning shop windows into near perfect mirrors.

In a cab. Hong Kong.
GM5 + 14mm 2.5
There is a lot of construction going on around, and obviously it's very colourful - so much that I ditched my b&w rolls the very first moment and ran around to find some Portra. Which wasn't hard, since film photography seems to be very much in trend - lots of very professional shops around.Nice H - the whole place looks like a building site? It very much looks like a colour city? - cheers - I.

Everyone seemed to be fine - or not giving a damn at least. Then again, I was mostly using a discreet rangefinder (QL17) and even more discreet GM5.Evening H - I suppose in the sort of population density you get in the likes of Hong Kong the rebuilding process must be constant. I agree with you - if I had turned up there with just a bag of black and white I'd have realised my mistake immediately I think. Good to hear that you can get decent film easily though. Sounds like a healthy snappers environment all round. How were the locals with photographers? It just looks like that it's such a big city that nobody would care at all? - I.
