Submitted this as a print for my intro to digital photography class:

I wish I tried out more angles but I'm pretty satisfied considering my limited experience behind the camera.

I would love feedback on my shots if anyone has time. I think I'm just trying to convey whatever is in front of me, so while the characters may not be interesting, they are just shots of 'real life'.

Have you tried shooting with a wider angle lens? It looks like you're using your 135mm for a lot of the shots, at that focal length I feel as though the subjects need to be interesting because they're so detached from the surroundings.

Trying to jump right into this - any critiques (regarding anything at all - I am just getting into photography) would be appreciated. These were my first tries with a Canon AE-1 on manual aperature and some Ilford film. I have been lurking this thread pretty hard to try to see what makes something interesting, but it is easier looking at other people's pictures.

This bionic dog seemed to be catching people's eyes. I think it would have been more interesting if I had gotten more of the little girls scooter in the shot.



This guy. This guy gave me the dirtiest look as I was quickly focusing the shot - and I wish I had waited just a second more to shoot it, because I would have gotten that look. I think at this point, he had just realized that someone was looking at him with a camera.



#1 - While the dog might be an interesting subject, there's not much that's really interesting happening in the frame. Everyone's back is to the camera, even the dog. I think you should have tired to capture people's reactions to the dog since you've noticed it was turning people's heads, but of course hindsight 20/20.

#2 - Way better than #1, it's obvious that there's something interesting happening to the left of the frame since it looks like the guy has his camera out, but I really want more context. I think it's not close enough to the two people, nor is it wide enough to capture the entire scene.

I think you're off to a good start though, especially if this is your very first attempt to get into street.

Underpass by Jemuel Balangcod

I wasn't thinking about it when I was taking the picture, but definitely a homage to Cartier Bresson.

I always got the impression that people don't want you taking pictures in a store because it could lead to some kind of negative impression on the store if you catch something bad happening with the store branding in the background. That being said, I took a few photos of interesting looking vegetables at Whole Foods a few weeks ago and no one said anything, it probably depends on how big and 'scary' your camera looks.

Any feedback on post-processing or composition, even the small most detailed criticism, is welcome.

I ran from my apartment to chase some ambulances, hoping for an interesting story. Just some girl passed out on the street. But there was this guy, in his own little world, oblivious to everyone.

I think the technical bits are fine, the subject is sharp, post-processing isn't jarring, exposure looks good, but overall I think the photo is boring. I don't think there is really anything compelling about the photo, you didn't really get a full shot of his face to get his entire profile nor did you really include context about the scene unfolding around him like you described it. It sounds like you put in some thought about the photo when you were shooting it which is good, but it didn't really translate into the photo itself. Did you try other angles?

I really like the fact that the rain is really present in the photo. This was last weekend in San Diego, yes? I recognize the bridge. I'll take the opportunity to post a photo I took last Saturday:

^^ Skateboarding I assume? That's a pretty hilarious photo without context though.

I don't really have too much time this quarter to go out and work on some photography, usually the time I get are the in the breaks between classes.

A picture of someone's back with a telephoto lens is babby's first street photo, that's why.
