Guest Posted March 5, 2015 Share #3483 Posted March 5, 2015 Henry - If I may ask you, what makes this photo interesting to you?? Please be specific. I'd say what makes this photo interesting to Henry is that his heart was thumping in his chest when he composed the shot, and thumped even harder when the student spotted him. :-) That's what I remember about *my* first few shots... all of which had too much camera shake to be seen in public. Ah well. Ric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I await the answer to my question... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted March 5, 2015 Share #3485 Posted March 5, 2015 Henry, (The following statements are purely my subjective view) It does not always matter if people see you or not (I suppose you did not don your invisibility cloak?) it simply depends on the picture. In the above case I fear you were not close enough perhaps by 5 m (I like to see the white of the eye of the Lady with the sunglasses ), and also the scene seems not so interesting. In my experience, the busier the scene / city, the easier it is for the street photographer. Rgds C. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted March 5, 2015 Share #3486 Posted March 5, 2015 Just saw Ric's comment and that was my experience too. Historic re-enactments, Maskerade balls and the like may be a good place to start. People in those places like to be photographed... Rgds C 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaphotoof Posted March 5, 2015 Share #3487 Posted March 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Might be a bit harsh, but certainly not intended like that. I can't see the composition as a result of: * lack of interesting people, * a very uninspiring location * too far away, but at the same time, to far away from what? Personal experience: In the beginning and still, I find it more difficult to shoot in my own town. I have less problems in a city like Antwerp or Amsterdam. Both about an hour drive from home. More divers people, more interesting spots. Maybe you could try to start off in Paris? I bet you could get lovely results over there. When you get more comfortable you can consider giving it a go in less crowded places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're now a street photographer! :-) What settings did you use, my friend? And how did you focus? Ric Thank you Ric for your nice comment. In fact, I found that people in a hurry. I was standing waiting for my sister, and suddenly I see a rush of 5 to 7 people arriving quickly. I almost missed the shot. Henry - If I may ask you, what makes this photo interesting to you?? Please be specific. Adam, I do not know the student, but he noticed my M ... maybe a photographer and also young Leicaiste? it soon begins "Leicaite" (which is an "inflammation" of the brain tend to have Leica equipment) and mania that gives tics that involves looking through a rangefinder Adam, to tell you the truth I do not know ... a desire to photograph the street I'd say what makes this photo interesting to Henry is that his heart was thumping in his chest when he composed the shot, and thumped even harder when the student spotted him. :-) That's what I remember about *my* first few shots... all of which had too much camera shake to be seen in public. Ah well. Ric said just ... but I'll just do like Adam,next time , I put myself close (as noted Christophe) to the subject and I shoot so what , if he is not happy .... never mind , for street Photo , we must dare , isn't Adam ?

A miller Posted March 5, 2015 Share #3496 Posted March 5, 2015 to tell you the truth I do not know ... a desire to photograph the street Henry - I'm not sure that is enough for me to have a dialogue with you about the photo (which I is what I thought was your intention). Totally ok by me. I just didn't want to jump into critique without getting your perspective beforehand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
