I love all the shots. My fave is the BW one even though the highlights are slightly clipped in the strong sidelight? I love the contrast, the graphical effect of the union jack and the flow and...

John,

Keith, I get you completely. That is how I normally work too (compensating for blacks and whites when using the camera's meter).

One small advantage I've noticed when shooting on the street is that,...

I was referring to missing the opportunity completely. But I totally agree with your comment. Likewise I've seen some nice effects when the shutter speed has not been 100% optimum for what was...

I was looking at some old photographs last year that my parents took when I was a child.
