Shoot the kids
-
I wouldn’t be into shooting children on the street in Ireland, or particularly not in the UK.
But parents don’t seem to mind here, I guess particularly if you look the tourist.
I keep my distance but with my wide-ish lens the shots suffer a bit.Martin
Troublesome little brother
Scary foreigner

Very nice as usual Martin.
On the subject of kids, I take a lot of kids on the street in Ireland without any bother. Wouldn’t try it in the UK though :twisted:
Thanks Tommie for your kind comment,
Before I arrived here I spent 5 yrs in the UK, it didn’t seem so friendly for street photographers.
Good to hear that Ireland has not gone that way.Martin
I like the look on the kids faces in the final one. The second one looks great with the wet ground reflecting everything back.
I live in Scotland and it is not something you could easily do without being challenged. I have to say from a mothers point of view I think I would also challenge someone taking my childs picture, if I felt the need to.
It is a double edged sword as when does protecting become over protecting and paranoia. I look back on my “snap shots” of my children in playgrounds etc and inevitably you will find a beautiful picture of another child unaware they have been caught in the moment.I love 2 and 3 Martin, up to your usual high standard. I would suggest that a tighter crop on 3 to emphasise the kids’ expressions might work?? :)
Thanks Streetshooter,
Yeah the third one would have been better if I had been closer in, I’ll have a look at a crop, see how grainy it gets.
It’s a serengeti for street photography here, with the amount of people, lots of opportunity.Cheers,
Martin

It sure has – I’ve been enjoying your shots for a long time now. Your website is really top class!
