Posted by jaapv,

This thread is suffering from overposting by a few members; I have hidden some posts. It is a an unwritten convention that we leave space for other participants. The reason is twofold: Overposting drowns out the other posts and, as important, if one floods a thread, the viewers lose interest and won't even look at those posts any more. It is equivalent to hogging a conversation. So: Please don't make endless posts with a large number of images, they are deadly boring, and don't po

I wander around my home city of Glasgow a fair bit. I always have either my Leica M Monochrom mk1, or an analogue M loaded with black and white film with me. I think that finding interesting photograp

Is it flare that fogs the headstock?

No, that is a hand holding a video camera, the blue blur is the back screen. Im surprised that it isolated the subject this much since its the 75mm f2.5 summarit taken wide open. This lens surprises me most the more I use it. Great bargain in the used market.

There is a lot of back and forth about asking to take someone's photo on the street and obviously, we are not out there to piss people off, but I think when you interject yourself into the moment, when you ask them to take the picture, you ruin whatever it was that caught your eye. If you see a couple having a sweet moment in a park or if you see a dad helping his kid go down the stairs, these are fleeting moments that you have to grab... one almost doesn't have time to react and get the photo, let alone ask to take it. I also think that it toes the line between "street photography" and "street portraits"... I love them both, but they are different. IMO.

 

@ChicagoMatthew,

Anyone who has ever done much street photography at all knows the above to be true; it is only those who are not street photographers who do not understand these points. 

A decisive moment appears like a bolt of lightning and vanishes almost as quickly.  Street photography is truly a "shoot first, ask questions later" proposition.  The majority of the time, it's the only way to capture the decisive moment.

Thomas Hoepker and Henri Cartier-Bresson both understood this, which caused them to work as they did.
