Bugger. I am new here and thought I best check the rules before posting a pic. Didnt reaslise they had to be very recent shots

ah well

Some good shots up there already though

Just out of interest what do you think of the following as candid shots?:
Linky One
Linky Two
Linky Three
Linky Four

Sorry its a link to deviantart but its the only place I have those candid shots online.

The last seems to be the most candid. Also, dear lord at those borders. I don't get the obsession with making online photos look like they've been hung in a gallery.

lol chunky aint they! - it makes them look nice on the main gallery page.

I actually added them to make prints but didnt get round to it in the end.

Well there's an entry from me, though I'm gonna endeavour to change it.
Anybody from Cardiff should know who the cheeky chappie in my shot is

Well I was just checking on the updates of the candid shots. Must say I love the one with guy having the lunch break!

I don't know about the first entry though... well in my opinion it is a bit seedy. IMHO

Some guy who hangs around town hitting sticks on top of rubbish bins, usually outside HMV and River Island.

Aye, he's almost always about, and is very friendly

Do you live in Cardiff then Raymond? Or did you live here?

I did my CPE & LPC Glamorgan (close to Hereford) so I was there for 2 years. I went into Cardiff about 2/3 times a week, probably again next week to see some friends who are still at uni in their 3rd year.

My sister lives in Cardiff and works at Howells (solicitors, not the department store) so now and again i go see her too.

I'll be getting a 30D hopefully in the next couple of weeks so I might ending up badgering you to come shoot with me

hoodmeister · 17 Oct 2006 at 00:25

Hey, I'm always up for some shooting, so if you're in the area & want someone have a gander with (and perhaps a few pints afterwards

) - please don't hesitate to buzz me
