Why don't you embed some of the images into the thread? Make it more dynamic?

Also, you're a little heavy on the flash in some of those images. Maybe consider throwing in the flash from an angle off camera and knock it back somewhere between 1 2/3 and 2 stops.

Good luck on the photo walk.

- Paul.

Paul, I was deliberately going for a stylised rather than a natural look as I wanted to emphasise the surreal look of the characters and vehicles.

I can understand you not liking/wanting to use flash as its obtrusive to street photography. Are you still shooting with the x100?

Forum visitors, and anyone who missed this show the first time round, might be interested to know that I'm hoping to bring the show to Crystal Palace Park next year. The managers are very keen to programme it alongside the motor racing, so watch this space for more details!

Fantastic news Jonathan - it was a great community event bringing people together to take part as well as a huge turnout to watch.
