What great pictures. Wow!
@iCatMilton - Wowsas indeed Cat, these are really, I mean really exceptional street iMages...
I am seriously in awe at how you have captured the light so perfectly in all of these, and don't get me started on the wonderful range of tones in each one!
The first of the set, Friday Bliss, is immensely powerful Cat, I don't think I have witnessed a much classier black & white street iMage, simply stunning lady...
And, you are among friends and Mobile Photography passionistas here who will always appreciate your work, no more nerves necessary here my dear...
@Mikeraboy - thank you so much!
I get so ruddy nervous sharing my images Sometimes - so grateful someone appreciates them!

I definitely understand self-doubt, and nervousness. But coming from the other side, the viewing side, all I can say is WOW your street shots are some of the best I've ever seen!!! I'm always excited when I've seen you posted something... "Oooooo....what great shot did Cat take today??"Thanks so much Rog / @Venomator.
I LOVE having this forum to share them to! Thank you to you and all the team.
Nerves are such a funny thing. Literally butterflies in the tummy!
I couldn't even quite define why.
I so admire street photographers but it's a whole new genre of photography for me.
I've done events and landscapes but strangers in the moment - whole new ball game!
(I took about 10 shots last year but it was so nerve-wracking I gave up for a good while)
I'm sure I'll grow through it - and people's encouragement here helps enormously!
(Thank you, thank you, thank you!)

Ps. I might just screen shot your comments and refer to them before I post each time, hehe!

This was a desperately hard shot to get. I was watching the bearded chap, looking for the moment the image would tell a story and then as he ambled, he for a moment was before this couple and I saw it, "He watches over them"...

Such simple images - so look-at-able! I love the mono - thinking they would not work the same way in colour? (Or: how do you choose when to mono and when to colour?)

Great 'set' but the first one (Friday Bliss) really grabbed me. That's kind of shot that makes me want to do some street ...
... but there is a voice in my head dissuading me from doing so. I think there was maybe something in my upbringing in the UK where people around me would have thought this was something rude to do, even invasive, and that message is so ingrained I can't shut that voice up - even if logically I actually don't believe that to be the case.
I was talking to someone y'day who is married to a more well known street 'tog and he was sharing some of the techniques used. Utterly fascinating, but still I would struggle even knowing some of those.
So you're pictures now seem even better given that you had that extra hurdle.
