I will. I like them, 1 & 3 of the 2nd set especially. How did you go on shooting in the street? Any opposition?
Hi Shaun, thank you for the feedback and i am glad you liked some of them
, I had a great time and a laugh and no, no opposition, a few funny looks and the odd "don't take any photos of me" comment but other than that keep a smile on your face and be polite and you should be fine.
Well since you asked, for me there is nothing going on in the first 7 shots. They just seem random snaps of a busy town center with people bustling around with no real focal point to capture my interest. The one of the police has a lot more interest as something is happening and you wonder what was happening. They are all in focus and decently exposed.
I like the last one quite a bit. A nice sunset and good reflections. I wouldn't call that one street photography though, more an urban landscape shot.
Thanks Andrew
, your reply was the reason i wanted some feedback, i am aware that there are no old people sat on benches or random stall holders bending down to pick something up off the floor, the usual street cliches, oh i missed the business man on the mobile out.
Because of this i wasn't sure if these were actually considered street photography, this isn't sarcasm by the way i am genuinely not sure what the label street photography entails other than the cliches mentioned above.
What i was trying to achieve in the majority of these pics was to put the focal point on Manchester itself, the fantastic buildings, i wanted these to be the main focal point of the shots, i guess that's not street though is it ?.
Thanks for the comments on the last shot.
