Throwing my hat in here, as well. I really enjoy street photography. I love seeing what's going on around me and trying to capture it as naturally as possible. It borders the line between fine art photography, photojournalism, and documentary/essay work in a nice package. I don't get out all that often for street photos, but it's good practice when possible. I do tend to focus on individuals in an environment rather than crowds as a whole, though. I guess some of these border the lines between portraiture and street, but they were all candid. I like my "fun" street, which I guess opens up the trouble of where exactly the limits lie. I also used to add borders to everything, apparently.

The picture of that guy getting in the homeless guy's face and taking a picture is great.

I like these two. Characters are my favorite. They add a little spice into life. Where did you find Harley? Was it on Halloween or just a day in the park? Here are a couple I took last weekend. TheCaptain fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Nov 24, 2009 |

Harley was one of the characters at Hollywood and Highland. It's an interesting area. Not five minutes after posting this on devianArt, I got a comment saying "Hey, that's me! Awesome!" or something. Small internet. Guess she was just visiting for a couple days. First guy is a homeless dude pretty well known in Burbank. He's usually wearing that or something equally flamboyant. That photo in particular was outside NBC when President Obama was on The Tonight Show. Protesters everywhere. I like the one you posted of the guys playing chess. I don't think anything like chess parks exist around here, so it's always cool to see the ones from NYC and other areas.

Snapped this off walking back from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was almost eerie seeing the streets directly surrounding the parade so empty that someone would walk down them like this:

venice is fun. ive only gone to take photos once, and i wasnt really happy with them for the most part. i've gone down to the Toy District and a block into Skid Row area which is a great place to take photos. it's also a bad place to take photos as a lot of people are illegal/pissed off and consider anyone with a camera good pickings or some weird stalker. i try tread lightly there. i found myself outside of the city mission where two guards (i think one was popo) said they wouldnt protect me if i was jumped. i figured it was time to turn around being a white guy with a big camera, it's hard to blend in. it's good to talk to a few bums & shopkeeps though about their lives.

dunno posted:Try big box store or strip mall parking lots, see how long you last before you are kindly informed that photography is not allowed on the premises. I know I'm late to this party by 4 months, but I stumbled into the Anthony Hernandez exhibit over the summer and was completely blown away by it. I can't find too many examples on the internet right now, but his series on public transportation areas and public fishing areas should be pretty inspirational for people living in suburban areas who think that you have to be in Manhattan to get interesting street shots.

I tried this once (admittedly with the intention of doing some HDR photography on buildings) and only came out with one half-way decent image (of a person at least). I'm quite angry I didn't get more of this guy. He has this intense expression that flicks onto his face from time to time like a silent-snarl almost. I'm going to try and motivate myself to get back into this, as I'm probably going to spend part of the next week working in the city, I may have time to take some photos. I'll try and limit myself to my 18-55mm lens on my 450d. Any other advice? EDIT: loving huge image replaced. XTimmy fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Jan 14, 2010 |

I wish I actually lived somewhere where there were busy streets for me to take photos on . I live in a town of between 2,000 and 3,000 people, and there are literally no nearby streets I can think of where I can find the bustling life of people. Though I'm also a bit apprehensive of taking photos of people out in public. But I guess I just need to be more confident.

You can still get that small town feel, which makes just as interesting subjects as mass populations. Really I think you just need to get over your own apprehensions. I'm right there with you man, stop making excuses and go shoot.

But I really can't think of any interesting places around here to go. There's no central business district. There's no sort of district at all. My town is pretty much just all homes, and there are no busy places around here where I can find people or interesting activities. I know I'm probably just looking in the wrong place, and can probably find something I can make interesting enough, but I just don't know where I want to start.

Here are some street portraits I took last night - not what I was planning on doing, but they were intrigued by the camera so I took the opportunity.

Love this, usually I almost always prefer street stuff in black and white, because things look less busy, but this is a really nice shot, no action, nothing even particularity interesting happening but just a great sense of right time and moment, works well. rear end is my canvas posted:^^^Isn't that just asking to get chased and beat up by angry parents?^^^ Only if you haven't got a nice innocent look about you haha. Or if your like me, just do it while there not looking and when they notice you, smile and walk off.

rear end is my canvas posted:^^^Isn't that just asking to get chased and beat up by angry parents?^^^ I've heard that a good trick if you get confronted (by angry parents or angry subjects) is to simply smile, show them the picture if it's digital, and offer to email them a copy of it. Assuming they like it, suddenly you've turned it from "that guy took a picture without my permission" to "this guy wants to give me a free gift".

Longtime lurker here, chiming in. Biggest influences include: Daido Moriyama, Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand. But perhaps the biggest recent influence has to be the work of Graeme Mitchell (caution: a large MPG presentation of the photos autoplays). Some stuff from my flickr:

The security grate in the lower right of this shot causes your OOF areas to look aliased. I love this photo, except for the way the neon signs become big bright blobs of colour. You needed a bit more depth of field on that shot.

Taken last year in Tokyo with a film Olympus mju 2 with Ektachrome 100 film and then cross processed. I know its not everybody's cup of tea, but I like it.

1 & 2 are loving amazing. The cross-processing does nothing for me, but #1 especially just feels right: the comp's great, the lead-in via the road marking is effective, etc. I'd love some more details in the clothes of the subject, but welp.
