After grabbing a 50/1.8 on the weekend I stepped out of my comfort zone (landscapes) and did some street shooting. Interested in any C&C on these: Introductions by Aztatlan, on Flickr  Boombox by Aztatlan, on Flickr  Success by Aztatlan, on Flickr  Ice Cream by Aztatlan, on Flickr  Portraits by Aztatlan, on Flickr  Glassmaker by Aztatlan, on Flickr Ended up being quite an enjoyable day of shooting so I'd say street will be something I do a bit more of.

Schofferhofer posted:Dude most are pretty good but don't shoot street performers. Boring as. I've heard that before, about street performers. Half the reason I spent so long shooting that guy was testing out the 50/1.8 - AF speed/accuracy mostly. Point taken though, thanks  maxmars posted:Makes sense.. Thanks. I noticed it but I'm not very keen on physical editing. Will have to learn to do it effectively. For that particular image, the clone stamp tool should make quick work of the branch. There may be a better way though, I don't tend to do much PS work either - 99% of my PP is done in Lightroom.

Bioshuffle posted:I know shooting street musicians and street performers is looked down upon here, but I think it's more important to shoot what you find interesting. When you start restricting yourself because you're worried about cliches or critics, you're doing more harm than good. I think it's an interesting image. Are you shooting on a crop body? Definitely a good point. I didn't mind spending some time shooting that performer, but in general I do find it less 'satisfying' because he is putting on a show - whereas shooting 'normal' street life can capture the spontaneity of it all. With that said, if I ever saw an interesting street act, I'd stop and take some shots for the hell of it. Thanks for the feedback And yes, crop body. Canon 60D. I've got the upgrade itch though so it may turn into a 5DII or III later in the year when it's bonus time at work :P Most of what I shoot is landscapes so I'd love to get a FF, weather sealed/resistant body regardless.
