Love these! Wonderful colors and scenes. Great stuff :)

Also I was asking about the line across the photo, but then I realized you were photographing through a window that had some kind of graphic on it

One thing I love about these is the level of grain in them makes them seem like they were taken some time in the 1970's

Ah yes, I shot that through a bus stop shelter window, then cropped the photo pretty aggressively. I want to like the photo but I'm not feeling it. Any criticisms are welcome.

I shoot with a 35mm for the most part but I'm thinking about picking up a 40mm and 50mm. I'm realizing a longer focal length could allow me to get up closer to people without necessarily invading their physical space. I'm trying to get better at shooting buildings and architecture too, but with the 35mm it's a struggle to get straight lines. Seems like a longer focal length would help with that too. Wondering what everyone else likes shooting with and why?

I think it's too cropped. It's an uninteresting shot, really, and the line going through it is more confusing than additive

I've been really enjoying some recent experiments with 28mm, though I haven't had as much success with photographing people at that focal length. But I like going wide and then trying to incorporate foreground elements to create some layers in my photos. I tried to do it today but don't feel like I got anything that was actually a good photo. I was too focused on technique and not the art of it. https://imgur.com/a/lhryAq2

Now for something that doesn't do that at all:

This is super helpful, thank you (and sorry for taking so long to reply). I thought the woman's shirt and hat were cute but it was a random snapshot as I was walking by. There might've been something good there but clearly I didn't get it.
