Press

We all like a fellow photographer don't we.....checking out the camera, tripod, angle & perspective they are taking...all makes people watching so interesting!
This young man had a Press badge on so had plenty of scope & permission to shoot anything he liked!

Three good things:
1. A lie in this morning finishing reading my book Dancing Hens. Never enjoyed a book so much for ages...warm, funny & charming. As soon as I read the last page I ordered the sequel on my Kindle.
2. Ordering a home safe to put our important valuables & documents in. Our bank is closing in Garstang, which isn't a good thing...we are changing banks, no way having to go into Preston!
3. Warm enough to sit outside.
Nice shot! I like your pov and the b&W processing.

love you called him a young man!! It is interesting watching photographers at work. Where were you both? Books sound good as does a lie in with a book!! Not that I am complaining, we got a lie in this morning as littlest was hiding under his duvet patiently waiting to say boo when I went in to him!

@newbank You would love that book Ruth ...funny too ..in diary form a young mum with kids living in the country.
He was young , very young, about 24 I would think. We were watching Phil Vickery at the Agriculture Show. I hope you acted suitably frightened!!

@kwind Thanks Kim.....I had to crop drastically as there was a woman's face & chin right in the way...you can see a tiny weeny bit of her in the top right corner!

A nice candid moment! At first I thought you were going to explain this was your son, as I think he resembles your profile photo.

@cejaanderson do you Jane...if I had son this age it would be a miracle!! LOL ! He is younger than he looks perhaps here......think it's the wrinkled forehead ......

I knew I had seen him!!
I have just ordered the book on my kindle!
We have a safe it is so satisfying to know I can lock stuff up and it is safe, we installed it in a cupboard securely to the wall so it cannot be prised off prised doesn't look right I think it is right spelling

Cool! He looks like he knows what he's doing!
Love the way you get through books......I'm still reading the one Laura sent me at the beginning of my summer holidays!! About half way through I think.
September 16th, 2014  
Just had a look through some of your shots and I'm beginning to realise what I have been missing, super shot Pat!!
September 16th, 2014  
@pinkpaintpot yes I would spell it like that too.......you will laugh at the book & it just gets funnier as you go on...I think as you get to know the characters

A great candid shot Pat and looks good in b/w -- so sharp and detailed ! And yes the all seem to look so young these days even some of the doctors look as if they have come out of school ! Sounds a good book Pat ,and yes the weather is beautiful --but the garden is so dry -- too dry to transplant anything !

fabulous candid shot
September 16th, 2014  
Nice photographing the photographer shot. And I keep meaning to say how gorgeous is your new profile photo!
September 16th, 2014  
Fav for me - I love this. Mum and fa had to move banks because theirs closed - pain in the neck.
September 16th, 2014  
PS Will add that book to my list!
September 16th, 2014  
A great candid shot...
September 16th, 2014  
Really fab shot Pat, fav from me. Was your book about hens?
September 16th, 2014  
@cleanfreak thanks Carole welcome back......thanks for the follow ..re following you!
September 16th, 2014  
@quietpurplehaze ah thank you kindly Hazel......I love it too!
September 16th, 2014  
@lucypics @judithg the book is about a young mum living in this big house with Aga...wayward husband whom she divorces & these three kids the youngest called The Beauty. I laughed out loud it's so delightful......gets better as you go on. Just started the sequel .......there are hens in it but the title comes from a joke one of the boys tells.

Trendy. This almost makes you the paparazzi I think.
September 16th, 2014  
Fabulous candid, Pat.
September 16th, 2014  
Great candid. Love the composition
September 16th, 2014  
Great capture, love the black and white. Oh no, what a pain about the bank. I'm not sure a home safe will do the trick though!!! Ha ha!
September 16th, 2014  
A picture of concentration - perhaps we all look like this! You wouldn't be this close with your camera so good shooting. I now remember the author of this book having read one of hers and I tried to find another. This was ages ago and Amazon and Good Reads weren't around!

A super capture Pat. Love how you've caught his intensity
September 17th, 2014  
@maggiemae he was about 6 foot away from us sitting down on the second row. So great view of him!
September 17th, 2014  
Great candid shot
September 17th, 2014  
your mono treatment gives this a very reportage feel Pat
September 17th, 2014  
Lovely capture!
we have a safe ..... I wouldn't be without one :)

@willowdragon does it bolt into the wall or is it heavy? Notvsurecwhat sort to get....must be fire proof of course but other than that not sure & they vary so much in price!
September 21st, 2014  
@happypat Mine bolts into the wall. It is sat on top of some drawers in the wardrobe. Sure mine was about £30 or so :)
September 21st, 2014  
@willowdragon that sounds a reasonable price......ideal too just to put more valuable stuff onto. Thanks Al!
