A Security Break !

We had a travelling fair that came to Arnold for a few days.

We had a little wander around the fair just as it opened.

I wanted to take a 'catering picture', showing the quality (cough !! Cough !!) of fayre available at the fair !!

Unfortunately I did not really capture the image I wanted to, but I did like these three 'show security' guys having a chat and a coffee before it got too busy !

The image would have been better if the 'burger lady' was in the shot , but you have to be quick when doing shots of this nature and therefore I just grabbed what I saw.

Wonder what he's saying.. "Right, you see anyone with a camera.. tell em to F*@k Off..."

Great black and white

I think odd numbers always work better in pictures it is a near shot with just the three of them. Nice in b&w

Don't miss it I posted on the fish and chip shop pedestrians post but thought you might miss it.

It was fab!

This is good candid shot, love their face expressions. I reckon this would look good in gaudy colour too!

[Sue Wilde]

I'm so busy gauking at all the stuff in the van that I almost overlooked the security guys.

Looks good fairground nosh & they were probably waiting for her to cook them burger & chips ! I always find these every day shots so interesting ! Best in black & white I think !

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat thanks Pat , you are right B/W works well, the orange high vis jackets dominated the picture too much in colour

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde ha ha Sue, don't tell me your head was turned at the thought of iced cold slush and jumbo hot dogs :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@tashy thanks tashy , the colour was good but the orange high vis jackets dominated a bit too much

[Phil Howcroft]

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens cheers kerri :)b/w rules on candid street shots

[Phil Howcroft]

@andycoleborn cheers andy, i think this is why street photography is so good, because we all interpret a slightly different story

[Allison Williams]

The prices and offerings of Fair fare appear to be similar to American carnival food. Your security guards, however, appear to be in better shape than the out-of-shape types whom patrol our public events!
