Great shots Nick.

Superb photos - but the weather was anything but balmy, methinks. ;)

The first photo attracted some surprising controversy on another forum (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/people/203449-balmy-october-m9.html)

Had it been a candid shot with no reaction, it probably wouldn't - even thought the objections would be just as valid or more. And I wouldn't have chosen it as my favourite photo from the day. But I liked it precisely because the girl covers her face.

Anyway, for those interested, I have now posted Part 2 of the blog here - http://rangefinderchronicles.blogspot.com/2011/10/balmy-october-part-2-saturday-1-october.html - photos taken with iPhone and Hipstamatic and with a Rollei TLR (hence I shan't post any images here).

I like it. Public place and you just recorded an event that others saw, but didn't take an image of. It is interesting and dynamic.

I enjoyed the Brighton pictures on your Flickr site. Wonderful vibrant colours in those Rolleiflex pics. Was obviously a glorious afternoon.

I was there last Saturday afternoon (the 8th); not so balmy; cloudy and grey. But it was enjoyable to sit and have a drink in one of the cafes in the North Lanes nevertheless.
