I don't do a lot of this type of photography as I'm quite self conscious, but after lurking in this thread it has inspired me to try this a little more. Here is my favourite capture of a stranger from an outing yesterday. I was tempted to go with a B&W version of this because I find the colours in the background distracting, however I like the green sunglasses and blue headphones so I left it as colour. What do you think? Did I make the right call?(hopefully I posted this correctly)

I'm quite self conscious as well but i'm not one to think much about consequences. The green sunnies in your shot really make the image. Nicely spotted.

That first shot looks like it’s from the 1980s.

A really good BW work! Good composition, triggers questions (like what are they waiting for), and such a deep saturated blaaack...

There are these very large ferries that cross the Baltic Sea from Sweden to Finland (or Estonia, Germany). People sleep over night on them leaving one country in the evening and arriving in the morning. Of course, not everyone sleep. They take in a lot of their profit on Tax Free shopping (while still within the EU, they ancore for half an hour outside the Åland islands, which has got a sort of special tax exception with the power in Brüssel). They are like large floating Hotels with restaurants, clubs, discos and shops. Large enough to have indoor streets to walk on...

In the tax free shop...

and what do we have here?

Not a Pentaxian...that zoom do look a bit fat on that tiny body. Clearly I would have prefered the pancake. But it is a nice looking camera.

You weren't the one making him pensive were you Mark? I wonder if the kitchens you have been shooting have since improved their hygiene standards
