Thank you for another interesting and inspiring video. What a difference a day can make! I’m really enjoying learning what makes you tick as a street photography, as well as some tricks of the trade. Looking forward to joining you on another outing soon! Xxg
The awning and umbrella shot is pleasing, but the cyclist going past Campkin's Cameras is the one I like most; the reflections on the paving are sublime. Having said that, the man with cardboard box did not appeal much at first glance, but the way the lines on the box echoed the joints in the sandstone of the hotel grew on me the longer I looked at it. The path that runs along the edge of the car park is one of my favourite haunts and you captured the light there so well. I sometimes venture towards the railway station and there is a covered pedestrian bridge over the lines that offers some intriguing composition opportunities. Have you ever shot there, Hugh?
Thanks for the detailed critique David. I vaguely recall that bridge over the tracks but it must be six to ten years since I was there. I’ll have to look again when I’m next up that way: Glad you like the awning image - that was v lucky. Mind you, I guess that if you wait long enough…
Awesome pov man .love your choice of color and composition..I also appreciate the tips given...I like how you are either close up or creating negative space...at the end i prefer to visit the places regular as you would be so keen and more advanced than someone now taking photos in a new place
Thanks very much. Yeah, it’s an interesting balance - familiar places can mean you know where to go and what to look for, new places bring new ways of seeing.
Hi Chris. These prints are A4; so 210x297mm. I do print my own and use a Canon Pro 300. Personally, I like to see my images on paper - just a few each month - living with them helps me decide on how I feel, whether to crop and what other adjustments to make. I find I often lower the contrast. Hope that helps.
Love the awning / umbrella shot Hugh! Great video too.
Thank you Steve - very glad you like that one.
Great video, Hugh. Instructional, easy to follow, and encouraging 👌🏾✨ Ray.B
Glad it was helpful Ray. Thanks very much.
Nice stuff Hugh. Really like that shot with the cyclist and the wet stones
Thanks heaps Tim - those flagstones are just too good when they’re wet.

You are so welcome! Thank you Gemma - happy to share a little of what goes on under the lid!

Great video man, hoping to head to Cambridge for some street soon!
Thanks Stephen. Enjoy it - there’s plenty to draw you in.

Hugh what size are those prints? And are you printing your own test prints or do you generally use a lab? If so which printer? Thanks!
