....there will be likely more people that think those same ones are better in colour. Thus they are not seeing the photos in the same way that i see them. Who is right ? the masses who take a vote OR the photographer that shot them. That is a good question.

....As a set black and white is far better. You cannot have some in colour and then some in black and white. It will degrade both versions.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. As for your 2 comments above,

As long as the photographer is shooting for himself (i.e. not taking photos to please a client), then what the photographer thinks of his image is more important than what the viewers think (unless the viewer points out something and the photographer agrees) That's fair.

And, I agree that a set of images shouldn't be mixed color vs B/W unless it is for the express purpose of asking viewers which they like better. I too find mixed color and b/w in a set to be a little distracting.

Thank you for understanding. You are right that some are better in colour BUT it is not many in my opinion. ( I am a black and white addict though and will most always show black and white anyway except for wildlife photography mostly. ) Some people will claim I need black and white because colour is more difficult a skill to master or practice. That is also true in some ways but it is a simple thing for me. I often prefer the black and whites.

Happy shooting to you and good fortune beckons. Luck is always the most important thing with my photography. I need plenty of luck otherwise I have zero shots to process.

Kind Regards Dino26323

Hope you like one. Celebrating the new K3iii monochrome camera I shoot Streets EVERY WEEK NIGHT until the camera is in the shops.

Kindest Regards if you follow these. I wish they were better. Much Much Better !!!

#73, I like that last set Dino. The focus on expressions is good.

Hello Pentaxians that are crazy enough to follow this thread. I give you yes more city shots taken today for this crazy thread.
How long will be will be. When my Local store has the monochrome camera in stock than I shall retreat back away from this Street World to take a breath and end this mad circus with a telephoto 200mm F2.8 on 1.4 converter.

Today i give you yes crazy tight framing as shot. ( except open top car shot )

. Hope you like something.

Best wishes and Regards Dino26323

I shot a lot of pictures today of the two young Foals that I found were new borns. Too many shots taken actually. The light looked incredible by eye so that affected my decision making somewhat meaning I shot over and over the same kind of shots. Here are some of them.

There were many 100s taken so hope they look not too bad considering the dedication applied. ( over kill TBH but i was confused it seems )

Because I was at the same field for so long . . . FOXES came onto the picture a few times but did not really get close enough to produce any magic photos . . damn .

See what happens tomorrow. Spring time is my favourite season because of things like today. Blossom everywhere , butter cups everywhere and then add youngsters horses and foxes. Wow. Spring is special indeed but you can still get zero without some luck.

Regards and best wishes Dino26323

I just realized that those pictures are in the wrong thread. Disaster. I was intending them to be on the Today with your Pentax thread. I had better check more carefully next time I do this. Likely was not paying attention enough.

Regards and some regret Dino26323

I guess the Foxes didn't get close enough to get kicked by mum either

I like your last two batches of street photos, Dino, particularly #1 and #4 from message #73. Of course, your foal and fox shots are great too even though in the wrong thread. The color photos look wierd in this thread, don't they? Keep 'em coming!
