Particularly like the couple on the wall and the guy leaning against the wall... :clap: ...excellent stuff m8... ;)

Thank you, glad you like them. :) I may dig out another 'random selection' a bit later!

Both of these are ''truly'' street photography. Well done (y)

How exactly? No offence to Ianhl, but they're not great shots, nevermind great street shots.

I can't quite make my mind up about you, jgredline. Either you're a tongue in cheek troll or you're naively over enthusiastic about a subject that you think you know maore about than you actually do. :thinking:

Simon thank you for finally showing how it should be done! The above shot typifies the criteria that marks many of your shots from the rest, composition and light.

There's is nothing special about a shot of a stranger in a street. What makes a shot of a stranger in a street special are the same elements that make any photo special, a creative eye and good photographic technique.

The difficulty of street photography is that the right subject isn't easy to find at the best of times. It takes a sharp creative eye, excellent tiiming, perserverance and a whole load of good luck. Just standing in a street and shooting isn't good enough, there has to be something special about the scene to capture before you attempt it. Simon understands this, and if anyone wants to learn to succeed at street photography they'd do well tobear that in mind the next time they venture out.

Nicely done Javier... (y)


Anyone following this thread and your prodigious input to it could not possibly call you anything other than one of our more genuine individual members... ;)



:p
 
Thank you Barney, now I'm blushing! Lucky you haven't seen all the crap shots I took to get to the nice ones ;)

There's hate on my part, it's just that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. I'm genuienly interested as to why you thought the two afore mentioned photos epitomised street photography, because I just can't see it.
 
The secret is knowing which ones are crap and not posting them.

Very profoundly true. The skill of editing is almost as important and difficult as the taking of the pics in the first place.

Barney, critiquing the photos is fine, having an opinion is fine but please don't make personal remarks about someone who is expressing their own opinion.
 
Having some fun today. :)

Hello.

The first picture is an attempt to salvage a shot of a couple who were not only moving + being jostled + standing in a dark Arcade. So, I have coverted it to B&W and given it a photo filter.

The second suffers from not using a polarising filter.

These two pictures were taken in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. UK.

Hope you enjoy my contributions.

Thanks
 
managed to get out and about today...

lol...somehow i missed this post :D

no offence taken. your opinion is just that, your opinion, and you are free to express it. no need to take a personal swipe at javier though, who is free to express his opinion also...
having checked out your blog and flickr page i would not expect you to like my photographic efforts. we seem to appreciate, and be looking for, very different things in a photograph...
it would be very dull if we were all the same though, wouldn't it? ;)

not sure how i can learn from it as it was hardly constructive, but thanks for the criticism anyway...
