So, from the same roll I picked another and relegated the first try to alternate. I think you critics like pictures of people, so this is my first try at what might be called 'street photography'. This is a new genre to me, so I may have it all wrong. Do I need to convert it to b&w, add some grain as if it was 3200 speed and twist it 20 degrees as though I wasn't looking through the view finder? Please advise. I tried to pick the decisive moment and this was one of the few I tried in which my reaction time was short enough that no one stepped in front of the camera. Instead the violent poke at the release succeeded in blurring the image and I missed the look on the girl's face when she was handed a crab. I think I should go back to old trolley cars. http://www.hillmanimages.com/bw/L6-5b.html - --- Dave Hillman
