Mrenda posted:I'm a little conflicted about these two. On first read I can imagine them coming across as quite judgmental photos, a mother ignoring her child. I think if you think about the situation it becomes apparent that a mother could be awake with a child for sixteen hours a day, and looking after them, so no parent is going to be engaged with the child constantly. I just worry that the image, purely through my selection is quite judgmental in that regard.

They're both pretty weak shots. If you have something going through your head like that when you're out photographing, you really need to explore the scene from as many angles as possible to try and find a way of translating that into an image that works. It doesn't necessarily taking mean swooping around and taking a hundred shots, but walk around and try to figure out your framing, how your subject(s) interact with the environment, have a good knowledge of what lens you're using and how far you need to be to make your shot work. Most of the time, you won't get the shot, but you learn from your bad pictures by tossing them out instead of trying to eek something out of them that isn't there. When "it" is there, you'll know it.

His eyes and the jewels in the crown play off each other. He seems kingly and kind and what we want from a king despite being an actor at a ren faire.

Grandmaster.flv posted:really tho what are some good resources on street photography technique? http://erickimphotography.com/blog/ I don't read this as much as I used to, but it has some really strong articles and is well organized. The one about working scenes is especially good. Honestly, I feel like I've learned a lot from posting here and getting poo poo on. Its not fun at the time when it happens, but I feel like the advice I've gotten here has been very valuable. Not to say that I think I'm good now or anything, but I certainly feel like the photos I share now are significantly stronger than the ones I was sharing a year ago, and that is direct result of really thinking about the criticisms people have shared with me here. I also share fewer photos because I'm trying to hold myself to a higher standard. I'm also a big believer in learn by doing. Go outside and take poo poo photos. Share them. Aggressively seek out critique and try and learn from it. People in this thread can be pretty rough in their delivery but I firmly believe that they mean well and want all us shitters to be better photographers, if only so we don't share as much poo poo. And of all the cliche axioms/quotes people throw around, I'm a big fan of "If your photos aren't good enough, you're not close enough".

I have a thing where every time I see a white person with a selfie stick in Japan, I take a photo of them with a real camera, overtly, because it's hilarious. They usually give me the eye like this guy. This photo isn't great but I don't want to go through all my photos for the last couple years right now.

So I was grumpy about the blown focus but a month later I still kind of like this photo. Same as before, poo poo or not poo poo? Also, better as color or black and white?
