Hi All, Can't find an open thread for street photography, and these small one off threads aren't my style, so here it is. This example came off my second or third reel of street attempts, so HCB isn't exactly glowing with admiration. Still, it's a start. Open thread, so let's see how you're doing too. Newbies, people flirting with the genre, and street zen masters are all equally welcome.

Louis Posted March 22, 2015 Share #7 Posted March 22, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) How broad may we take it? Are these following two ok? They are perfect, IMHO. To me, a street shot is not only shooting in street; or, a nice clean shot! It should tell a story, even if the story is different for each viewer! ... At least, it must have an emotional element!... I find that in both your shots. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this one was again in Milano Centrale, where I did my "find a scene and then wait for a passerby to complete the picture" thing. I snapped a couple of shots over a few minutes, and this seemed to be the better one. Then I felt a bit daft standing there looking at the same ad and moved on. Wonder if HCB ever felt daft waiting next to puddles of water for hours. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Leica M6 & Summicron 50mm & Ilford XP2. Sat at a café on an outside table (a first, this year) and taking random snaps of whatever passing wildlife. Frau Capucho seems less shocked than she was that her husband is photographing perfect strangers. The good looking couple walked on by, wandered around the square there for ten minutes or so, then returned to the café and took a table. I tried to snap them again, a bit closer, but she thought I was taking a shot of the view, so sort of pushed her man to one side and jumped to the other side. Then gifted me with a dazzling smile! I was too surprised (and charmed) to think to snap the moment when they pushed to either side. Damn. One that got away. The Swiss can be very formal, often very distant. But every now and again they do things that show that their hearts are just as big as anyone else's. That's why I married one.

earleygallery Posted April 2, 2015 Share #20 Posted April 2, 2015 Some of the above are very good, others rather poor IMHO. Street photography is hard to define, everyone has their own idea, but I don't think it qualifies as snapshots of random people doing nothing in particular. If you want those kind of shots you could just set up a camera to take a photo at random times, or go CCTV! Edit out the weak shots and it makes the rest stronger. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
