Warden

The bane of every motorist's iife, the traffic warden...!

Give someone a uniform and they become jumped up little you-know-whats...

This is a hipsta shot I took whilst waiting for Sangeeta near to the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, this lunchtime, but preferred it cropped so will use as my main pic for today.

Hes actually writing something which is bewildering as I cant see any problem here! Im also impressed that youve taken, and uploaded in less than 50 minutes !

Nice shot. I can't help focusing at the guy on the right. Watch his hand! What is is up to? Is the uniformed man safe?

@cpmitchell haha... quick but not my quickest http://365project.org/andycoleborn/odds-sods-and-e/2011-08-27.. taken and uploaded in 6 minutes... Could be a car with out of date tax disc or wrong permit... @mastermek yeah, he does look like he's after the warden... maybe it was his car about to be ticketed....

great street shot Andy, love the guy on the phone. What did you crop this in, usually it ruins the quality when I crop a hipsta shot

[andy c]

@rich57 cheers Rich - I used picassa, but know what you mean about the drop in quality... same with this pic in fact

[Michael Elliott]

In any country no one likes the traffic ticket person. Looks like the phone guy is talking about the tix guy. Perhaps telling a buddy "hey better move your car tix warden is here".

[Richard Tyson]

Did you have the hipsta image size on the highest setting? Cos the quality looks ok to me, at least relative to mine. (I know, harshest critic etc!)

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

This is great! The other guy looks like he's trying to hide from the ranger xD

[robinwarner]

oh that is a great wall and the dude on his cell is perfect. ...

I was captured by a CCTV car recently for stopping to pick my wife up. I was there for 20 seconds ! The people in those cars are even worse than that the wardens on foot. That's my moan over - nice shot.

great muted tone, love all the yellow and blue.
this is street action in action. nice job.

@rich57 nah mate, always just use the middle setting... this is probably the most I've cropped a hipsta shot tho

[Richard Tyson]

@andycoleborn ok, it looks good to me. maybe will use picassa next time i want to crop a hipsta shot. It's funny because i probably take more care with framing hipsta shots than with my DSLR!
