DSC_8937 by DarSevn, on Flickr An older picture, I wish the lady wasn't in the background though. (didn't ask this girl to take a picture, she saw me about to take a picture while she was on the phone, looked up and smiled, so I snapped a picture of her instead.)

I took these pictures around London in August last year with my Canon 20D with the 105mm, both later stolen during a break-in that fall. I know gently caress-all about photography so my replacement S95 is probably a more suitable tool anyway, but I kind of liked these. Amazingly, I used the ol' patented technique of "take picture of friend, but zoom in on subject in background and crop it afterwards" but it came out well I think.

Hardly Working by Benbrewer85, on Flickr J'adore by Benbrewer85, on Flickr Untitled by Benbrewer85, on Flickr I've been making more effort to get out on my lunch breaks and shooting some street. Has anyone ever tried to find a no flash corner in their town/city? I read http://2point8.whileseated.org/2006/09/28/post-grant-no-flash-corner/ and wanted to try in Glasgow. We have some awesomely shiny buildings but Scotland in March isn't the sunniest and I want to be ready when the sun starts showing his face round here again.

Here are a few pics that I took yesterday or the day before as I walked around Manhattan. DSC_4951 by Guineapig Shoddy Pics, on Flickr That one I saw out of the corner of my eye, held out the camera, and took while walking past without stopping. Unedited. Most of the rest are edited in some way.

I've enjoyed lurking, and am glad I have something I feel is worth posting. There's another 50 or so at the Flickr link.

They're both from the 6*7, one on Portra 400 and one on Rollei Retro 400. Yeah that's one of the lanes behind Glebe Point Rd.

A gentle breeze becomes 40mph gusts, torrents of water slam my side. I shelter the camera with my body and pulled up my hood. A girl struggles to right her now inside-out umbrella. She runs. I see the shot. Tearing off the hood, now plastered to my face by wind, I have one shot directly into the rain before the lens is coated in water. I take it. 30 seconds later, the rain ceases, the wind dies, and it's right back to the calm night.

The people directing traffic, the free emergency-style ponchos, the woman without a rain coat, great shot where it feels like everyone is out of place in the weather. s0meb0dy0 fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Mar 23, 2012 |

Cross - posting from SAD. I am happy to find this thread since I mostly shoot on the streets. Recently, I have been really rusty. But I made an effort in shooting from the hip today on the street.Well, it was more like shooting a bit above the hip since I am so short. I am happy with some of the images that I got. These photos were shot around the Upper West Side and Central Park South in Manhattan.

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.

Have been following the advices in this thread regarding how to be discreet and shoot street stuff, I like the concept. It's a great challenge though. Here I had to resort to B&W as the sunset colors weren't too flattering. Is it any good? I do like it, but I'm still trying to figure out the basics.

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.

I wouldn't edit out the branches. They add to the spontaneity of the shot and make it feel more like you are intruding on a private moment.

Those stations look immaculate compared to anything I've ever seen in American subway stations. Makes me want to visit Oslo, my great grandparents emigrated from Norway to the United States way back when. Still have some relatives in the vicinity of Oslo.

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.

I'm quite keen on the hip-shot NYC photos above. They are very evocative of what I imagine New York City living to be like. I'm putting a series of street portraits together that I feel sum up a cross-section of Hong Kong life. http://www.flickr.com/photos/48817379@N03/sets/72157629284710532/

Though, I noticed that in certain parts of my neighborhood (Castle Hill/Parkchester, The Bronx), people are very aware when a photographer is around. Today, I was shooting a storefront and these folks around me paused and were very curious to know what I was doing.
