The aim is to take Sheepie to many places and put him in the thick of it. I'm trying to steer clear of touristy type of locations. I also like to use sheepie to draw peoples attention (away from me and on Sheepie) and I photograph them reacting to Sheepie.

These first shots are from London & Ireland.

I try and take these photos as rough as I can. My main concern is location and peoples reaction.

Also I had problems re sizing these and they look like rubbish. Much sharper full size.

Yes I do get some funny looks. The cops in the tube we're bewildered as they explained I couldn't take photos in the tube.

I had a guy stand in-between me and Sheepie during the Tour De France shot and I said "Sorry mate but can you move please I'm trying to shot Sheepie" in my Aussie accent. His expression was priceless. Shame I missed that photo!

Yeah the first shot was a bit dark in the foreground I didn't have a flash at the time, The reason I picked that photo for this thread (and I've taken quite a few more including Sheepie swinging on a swing in Emo Court) is that I love the halo the water reflection has given Sheepie.

I'm shooting a wedding this weekend and I'm hoping to sneak Sheepie in there somewhere.

:) nah haven't seen it. These flicks were from early 2008 though it that makes a difference.

I actually went all over the UK but when I was in Glasgow I reformatted my CF card by mistake and lost 1000 photos. I got some back but they are all postage stamp size :(
