I don't really do much street photography. But I really should.

Why?

Well, for starters its good for you - you get to do a lot of walking...but aside from that it's a good form of inspiration. When you're out and about, armed with your camera, you're looking at the world in a different way. It helps give you a different perspective on things. You're forced to think outside the box. Well, those are the benefits I get from it.

I needed a break from editing on Tuesday so grabbed my camera and drove to the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham City Centre.

Here are a few shots I took.

I was surprised to see someone cycling along the canal so late

I like to try and get people in my street pics, but I still get a little nervous when I'm taking the shot - especially when they're walking straight towards me
