A great set for giving the living feel of a place. Question: are these two
guys American tourists, or natives?

Camo jacket and ball caps, they could be from Tennessee.

Subject: [Leica] New BW Gallery: Fish & Chips, Long-legged Girls, Beer,
Samba Music and Nosy People
Hello all,
I just took a day off work to get some of the snaps from my recent holiday
in Whitby UK processed.
The main subjects are as in the subject line. I suppose you could call it
street photography - for me, that's another way of saying shooting snapshots
while walking around town :-)
With only a few exceptions, these were all shot on film (ASA 200 Colour
Negative film - Boots store brand and Kodak Gold) with Leica and CV lenses
(50/25/15/12mm), Rollei lenses (28 and 35mm) and a Zeiss Yashica T-AF 3.5/35
Tessar point and shoot. The other cameras were a Rollei 3003, a Minolta CLE
and a Pentax P30 I picked up in a charity shop along with a 1.8/50 and an
absolute dog of a Centon 28-70 Zoom lens for a few pounds.
All the negatives were processed and scanned to CD at a 1-hour minilab just
across the street from the famous Sutcliffe Gallery. I only tweaked the
results and converted them to BW.
Be like the people on the first shot - be nosy and take a look around the
gallery and (hopefully) enjoy a walk around the fair town of Whitby.
Comments and criticism are, as always, more than welcome.
Cheers
Douglas
