Covent Garden street pics

[ianjmatt]

Some shots I took in Covent Garden last month. Appreciate feedback and critique on the photography and the PP. Shot with a Panasonic G5 and the standard kit 14 - 42.

Thanks!

Hi Ian,

and welcome.
I like your 'off duty' captures but I'm not keen on kids in street photography. Each to their own.

Cheers

That interests me - why are you not keen?

IMHO - they are not your kids. Grown ups are fair game but leave the kids alone.

I wouldn't like to think of my kids being photographed by some random stranger.

Fair enough. I don't agree though. I always photograph in crowds where parents can see me. If they ask me not to or want me to delete an image I would. I would only take a pic of a kid if they happened to be where I was already shooting, I wouldn't seek them out.

I don't have a problem with my kids being photographed in a public place, as long as it doesn't get weird or creepy. And besides, think of all the incredible street and documentary photography (and the historical value) we wouldn't have if kids weren't photographed.

Like no. 4 for the story, in general I don't think street performers make good street photos when I'm character, we have all seen them before and I feel street photography should be about the unusual or the usual seen in a different way, as you have in no. 4

Great shots! Since the kids are not identified in any way I don't see a problem.
