Sometimes street photography just flows, you get "in the zone" and become less inhibited as a string of opportunities present themselves. Other times the opportunities, or at least your ability to spot them (more important your ability to anticipate them) seem to dry up and you never really get in the swing.
I had one of the less successful days in Colchester yesterday, which wasn't really surprising as I was in the company of my wife and daughter, plus a friend and her daughter who are staying with us over Easter. That's also the reason why I haven't been on the forum so much during the last few days but back to the point, a shopping trip with four ladies is never going to make photography a priority. However, I was glad that I took my camera, even though I only got a couple of shots with which I am reasonably pleased.
I could have done better with each; the first had sloppy framing and is quite a substantial crop of about 7.5mp and in the second I almost cropped a foot off the subject, but they'll do.
