The rainy streets of Bishop's Stortford

It was workshop night at the camera club again last night and one of the practical activities on offer was a short photowalk around the town. A small group of us braved the rain (which quickly changed from a light drizzle to a downpour!) to go and forage for photos.

Most of my photos were pretty underwhelming, but I found a couple which appealed to me. I’m attending a workshop next week focused around the style of street photographer Saul Leiter, so I decided to ty and get into the zone ahead of time, using things I found around me to shoot through, creating a sense of depth. The bicycle shot makes me think of a scene from a gritty old movie - although I’m not sure whether to expect a hero or a villain to appear from the shadows!
