Default Nightlife

Be gentle, first time posting in the urban section.

I ventured into the town centre tonight to take shots for the WWPD, here's the overflow. It felt very nervy wanding around, central Reading hasa drink/drugs problem where violence and muggings happen quite often, so me wandering around with an expensive camera might not be the best idea...











Unfortunately, this poor guy wasn't in the same ebullient mood as the rest of the revellers. I assume he came here for the serenity of the water, but got overwhelmed with all the people...

The exposures look good. I never thought about walking around at night with thousands of dollars worth of gear.

If I get mugged, I'll give them all my gear and then add a little surprise. I just hope they don't damage my gear when they fall dead

some nice shots there Pete I particularly like the one with the sad guy.
I agree with you it's a strange feeling wandering around taking night shots

I like the reflection in #5.
And all your 'ghosts' are interesting. Wonder if they are as scary as the muggers?
I still love your last one there... emotional grabber that one is.

LOL @ PhotoScout!
