Chat thread for weekly comp Back to Work

[irv_b]

CHAT THREAD
Since this is the week that country returns to work (unless like me you went in last week for a few days) this weeks topic is  BACK TO WORK
The idea is to depict somebody doing their job of work whether it's a candid shot or a posed portrait it's up to you. It can be anything from a traffic warden issuing a ticket, to the barmaid pulling a pint at your local pub but try to get them actually doing the job. Hopefully the weather will hold up so you can get out shoot and have fun.

Is that what you do for a job?

No, it's his hobby.

Then I don't think it is aceptable. (At least not as a competition entry!)

At my current place of work if I take my camera on site I get shot (no questions asked), is this an acceptable risk for the weekly comp 


Actually thinking about it I might just try and find another subject............

Not worth it, I would think. If you survived though, you'd probably have a really good action shot! But no, they' confiscate the camera and destroy the memorycard.

But there are plenty other people at work 'out there.' I was wondering today, whether I dared to ask the busdriver if I could 'shoot' him, and didn't dare!

Have to think of something/someone else now.

Found my victim in the city centre. I'm in with this one: The Street Cleaner.
