I'll tell you something, just recently I seem to be getting all the attention from the wrong people, "can't take pictures here mate, you could be a terrorist", "what's in your rucksack?". For me this hobby is becoming a chore. :(

Sorry Bachs for taking this thread of topic.

No, it's very much on topic!
I've had some really bad experiences and these two were a joy to photograph even though they have their Wallace and Grommet grins on.

I was rounded on by 20 people at a fairground a few months ago and accused of being a phaeodophile which made me very timid of shooting people for a while.
I wish you could have seen her nudging her mate saying..'wer'e having our photo taken' it was the matter of a couple of seconds.

I did look cosha though with my new photographers vest!

No I toyed with them for a while from a distance and then after I was sure that they where game and was not going to get cut by their bosses cleaver, I approached them.

They asked for a print of the above picture which I gladly supplied the next day to even wider smiles ;)

Busted again, its hard doing photography with you as all the ladies swoon over you and ignore me completely.

It's no good for my self esteem you know :lol:

I can't help it if I'm a walking vessel of Viagra-for-ladies. :D
She was a pretty one wasn't she, that redhead, I would also offer my attempts at the same shots, but just think of steves, but zoom out to include the stall, and about half of Manchester, then you've got me and my kit lens attempts. :D
Must say yours are cracking shots, they were certainly bubbly enough weren't they, and they even pulled a camera out at one point (Nikon wasnt it?) and pointed it to us.

Edit, not the redhead, the one on the left, but the redhead was nice.
Sorry I've taken this RIGHT off topic now :(

Bachs doesnt the one on the right of yours look like Cherie 'crazy frog' Blair?

at the ferrari event at groombridge i tried some long-distance foreplay with some lovelies, but they all clocked me, made disgusted perv type faces and cleared off. Perhaps some lessons?
