And certain amazing colors that I don't see from anybody else.
What I like most about his images is that they have naturalness quality to them and compositions are so well done.

Thanks guys, appreciated.

Rob, the locations, unfortunately it's a matter of 99% searching and 1% finding.

So sorry to hear of your incident, must have shaken you and your confidence. Thank the Gods you weren't physically injured!

Indeed it has, Keith.

For somebody who has travelled quite a lot, always felt a keen sense of awareness of dangers, this came out of the blue, my reactions being fear of getting hit with a fake sex assault charge. The last thing in my head was I was being robbed!

In the end, I can blame only myself for thinking it was normal for an old guy to wander around wearing something obviously valuable. If I had been left-handed, I'd have been carrying my rolled 'brolly in that hand, and she could never have removed the watch without a really hard tug to break the links of the metal strap.

Feeling foolish to the degree I inevitably do now is not pleasant. At lunch today I spoke with a couple I know; both of them have Rolexes, far more expensive than mine was. He showed me the catch on his strap: a new device to lock it. Horses, barn doors.

Don't feel foolish, Rob.
You are dealing with professionals, you have no other chance but to wear less luxus on your body.
A friend of mine was beaten without any warning many times with a gun on his face and then they took his money and were gone. Not a word exchanged.
Better a pretty lady showing affection
Can happen to anyone

Yes, I know I was lucky not to have been harmed physically; but you are optimistic: this street rat was not pretty - just bland, which makes it much more difficult to describe and remember. (The perfect natural disguise.) Affection? She felt like a gigantic tarantula - everywhere at once. Clever trick to cover the wrist stage. They must have lots of fun practising.

I guess the cell phones are good for some things, though my ability to hold them steady is hit and miss. Holding them out then pressing or tapping it from almost any side or edge, does not strike me as conducive to producing a sharp image.

I thought not keeping the phone steady would help your style  ;)

If you want steadier use a 2 sec timer.

I think it needs much more ICM to liven it up!   ;)

In earlier incarnations of the camera on the iPhone, the picture was, or at least could be set to be, taken when you lifted your finger off the "shutter button" image. I always felt removing that feature was a retrograde step.

In that case, I have to reject Jeremy's suggestion, which I thought was excellent for a cell phone. Shows what little I know. BTW, to get that shot, I had to place my elbow and camera right on the car hood. And that's my excuse for not doing ICM, I was hood-winked, so to speak.  8)
