Honestly, I’m not a good street photographer myself and therefore not best placed to critique another’s work (I stopped photographing ‘street’ years ago)… You have obviously spent a lot of time and a considerable amount of money on film and processing so I don’t wish to disappoint you. I’ve looked at all your images posted from first to the most recent, and I came to the conclusion that you haven’t learnt much in that time. The reason I believe is not your fault. You’ve been gaining a few likes here and there and in so doing it may have given you encouragement. Helpful critique would have been far more useful to you. BTW I think our personality and life experience makes us the photographers we are and it’s very difficult to change the hard wired brain. I would recommend looking at the work by some of the recognised good/great street photographers and go out and copy what they’ve done, albeit in the setting you find yourself. For contemporary style have a look at the work of Matt Stuart on the ‘net or in his book ‘All That Life Can Afford. Hope I haven’t hurt your feelings.

One of the Photrio crew kindly shared his procedure in an open forum, and in so doing I presume it’s ok for me to share it here. https://tinker.koraks.nl/photography/flipped-doing-color-negative-inversions-manually/ The technique appears to be similar to the OP’s methods.

Grey or Gray? 😊

Fantastic image capturing the horse and rider. 👏 Need to be fit to do that, young lady too who appears to be riding bare back.

I don’t bother backing up whilst travelling, I simply trust the SD card. I know there’s a risk, but there’s nothing to get too excited about if the files are lost.

Thank you. 👍

The work of Susanne Wellm is the perfect antidote to pixel-peeping. It’s all about the art, baby! http://www.susannewellm.com/ I’m not sure I have the weaving skills of this lady. Fascinating though..

LC-Wide, guess the film

I think it’s brilliant Kl@us, far more interesting than a ‘straight’ as seen shot. I’m sure I have a yellow filter somewhere to have a go.
