Yeah, nice one. LOL etc etc. Always good to see a guy on a luxury camera forum laughing at those less fortunate.

Not sure who that was directed at but shooting street photography in my eyes is shooting the was it is. Had I seen an interesting picture of someone with a Gucci handbag I am sure I would have taken it.........but I didn't

Anyway I sure as hell had a good time shooting these pictures especially the second one with the guy sat under the graffiti .............you would have thought I had just mugged him the way he was screaming :)

It was directed at Syed which is why I quoted him in my post. I actually think the last photo is the best of these, I just don't find any amusement in it the way Syed seems to.

 

I enjoy shooting street photography too, though I can't say my pleasure in doing so comes from upsetting people by doing it. It generally doesn't make for particularly great street photography IMO.

I think Syed is just saying its strange/a little chuckle worthy to see a guy selling very nice looking car suspension in an alley.

 

I enjoyed these too btw. I understand the OP when he says, got some smiles and got some bad looks. That tends to be a part of street photography sometimes. I don't think he was tossing pebbles at people to upset them. He would shoot the shot and then they'd protest. I don't think that harms the photograph as most of the time, the protest comes in after the fact.

uhh..it wasn't meant to be a condescending comment.....i just found the combination of his selection to be interestingly funny...and even more funny with his relaxed pose....lighten up.

Disrespect for a person's "NO" brings bad carma and can be considered rude.

Ignoring this and posting it to a global audience makes it worse.

 

It's like pointing your camera like a gun towards people. Respect is the key to the game.

Your comment was funny and it is funny that man is selling shocks and a side view mirror in that shot.

 

I think the thread title sets some of us off..I know it didn't do much for me either..

Your shots are for the most part excellent but for those who didn't want to be photographed, their wishes should be respected. That's why I am reluctant to do this type of photography frequently.
