First Go At Street Photography - Big Issue Seller

MIKEROPHONICS · 05-03-2013, 13:55

HI

Here's my first go at street photography in Borough Market at the weekend.

Big issue seller, declined magazine as already have one, but offered him my loose change if I could shoot his picture to which he jumped at.

I just turned him around to face the hazy muted sun a bit more (it was lunchtime and quite high)

Sunlight only (overcast)
white balance cloudy
centre weighted

Nikon d7K
85mm f1.8D

f2.8
1/200
640 iso

version 1 with a vignette:

version 2

any comments gratefully received (I am very new at this)

The vignette works better for me. I'd like to see it in B&W though ideally!

Would look brilliant with the sea in the background as I would imagine a person like this to have 40 years fishing experience and many scars from fishing hooks!!

I think they are great! Check out my big issue seller a few posts down...Theres something about them, you can tell their story in a photo more so than other people and there is a definite sense of pride in his face don't you think? Or is it just me..
