I honestly wasn't expecting to see this. From what I could tell they are a Turkish mariachi brass band. I like to think they are a group of travelling ninjas who are on a mission to bring cultural diversity to elderly white people.  This is what happy looks like  Hello ladies  We are here to entertain you.

Clearing out some older stuff so I can hopefully post some regularly. I often take my camera for a walk during my lunchbreak so this wil be good incentive to get some new shots: You are waiting, for a bus by Benbrewer85, on Flickr  Bagman by Benbrewer85, on Flickr  My shadow and Marley and me by Benbrewer85, on Flickr

If I crop out the shoulder then she's slightly off centre right looking right out of the close side of the frame. I tried it, looks poo poo. As it is it's a part of the crowd. If I didn't want passers by in my shots I'd shoot glam or something idk. Schofferhofer fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Nov 30, 2011 |

It is one thing to leave something that adds to the feel of the image. However, to leave a hugely distracting and unappealing blob in the corner because it is a "passer by" is comical at best. I'd say if you are going to shoot street, work up the courage to lift the camera all the way up to your eye and stop shooting from the hip.

My reply was more in regards to his response toward the critique of his photo though. People passing by are just fine in a photo. Big black blobs however, rarely have their place. Also, it looks like he has a lot of interesting places/people to shoot around him, so he should get comfortable bringing the camera all the way up. I have noticed a few different reactions. First, it is possible they don't even notice you, which is the best. The second reaction is that they notice you, but their face still has the original emotion and attitude, they just haven't had time to change it. The third and final response I have noticed is that they fully notice you, look at the camera, and they have time to change their expression before you take the picture. The only thing he is getting by shooting from the hip is a tilted horizon, possibly missing focus, and not being able to compose the picture he wants to take.

Schofferhofer posted:GOTTA SHOOT FROM THE EYE BECAUSE COURAGE Hip shooting for courage is a false economy anyway. It's trading 5x "man that guy is rude" for 1x "I think that guy is taking pictures of girls to masturbate to in his porn dungeon" I do agree that hip shooting can produce more dynamic looking shots though. That said some pervert in my town was recently arrested for taking upskirt pics of girls on escalators in the local shopping center so I'm avoiding hip shots for the time being incase old ladies start hitting me with their purses.

Schofferhofer posted:GOTTA SHOOT FROM THE EYE BECAUSE COURAGE Nice, aggressive reply. If you are comparing me to the "old fucks" on RFF, I think an apt comparison for you would be those whiny little bitches on Flickr that flip their poo poo when someone dares to say something negative about their photo. I'll stop being an old gently caress when you stop being a whiny immature little prick. That being said, you obviously have no clue about composition if you are saying every shot you took from eye level was boring and mundane. Quit crying just because a few people said you shouldn't have a drat blob in your picture.

EDIT: You realise I was making fun of your comments re: shooting style and COURAGE!!!! and not the criticism of my actual photo, right? I don't have a problem with what anyone's said about my photo. It's all welcome. It's just this focusing on methods over results that annoys me. It's about angle of view. I'm not going to wander around crouching about town to get the camera at my eye and at the level that I want. Hip shooting makes more sense. I don't want all my photos looking down onto my subjects, it's boring. And I've cropped the blob out, I was just laughing at you and your COURAGE rhetoric.

Why rely on luck for composition? Sure, sometimes some discretion with your camera is necessary, but you're probably not going to come back with much if you're using it as a crutch to avoid being seen. It's almost just as obvious and about 5 times creepier than just manning up and taking the shot with your camera at eye-level. If you're hellbent on hipshooting, get a camera with a waist-level viewfinder.

It's not about 'manning up' or 'having a crutch'. It's not about avoiding confrontation or being seen. It's a style of photography that you can use. I've got a camera with a waist-level finder. Hip shooting without one isn't hard, and it's not just about luck. It just takes practise and work. If I was 5'2" then I might shoot eye-level. But I'm not. EDIT: tbh I can't believe this is still A Thing. Someone go tell Wigfall he's a coward. Schofferhofer fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Dec 8, 2011 |

Schofferhofer posted:It's not about 'manning up' or 'having a crutch'. It's not about avoiding confrontation or being seen. Go read what I posted in the General Photography thread, I am not against shooting from the hip. It's cute that you keep harping on the courage thing when I only mentioned it because most people are too shy and nervous to take pictures of other people. If you don't fall into that category then simply ignore what I said, instead of beating that one little tidbit into the ground. If that was a rhetoric, I should have spent less time in my English classes and more time on SA. The last thing I want to say is this. If you love shooting from the hip so much, you definitely need to practice more. More than a few of the pictures on your Flickr, which were obviously shot from the hip, were quite crooked and not well composed. TBH I can't believe you became so defensive over something so minute.

Well if you'd like to go into Flickr and actually leave criticism I'd be happy to take it on board. Especially in regards to images you don't think are well composed. Crookedness is ehhh...it doesn't bother me as much as it does some people. I don't go out of my way to shoot dutch and I'm quite pedantic about it in other areas, but when I'm out shooting street it doesn't bother me so much for some reason. And all of my Flickr that I call street (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mca88/sets/72157625798590936/) is shot from the hip. Save for possibly one or two photographs I think. And look the reason I'm defensive about it is because so many people pass it off as being this amateurish attempt at shooting in public for people who are shy or just poo poo or pervs or paedos or something. Like I said: RFF has entire threads devoted to ridiculing a different shooting style as being 'cowardly' and not just focusing on photographs instead.

Well, I definitely did not mean that you are a coward, and it was my fault for assuming that you are shooting from the hip because you don't have the confidence or courage to shoot at eye level. I shoot from the hip every once and a while as well, I just prefer eye level because I can compose and confirm focus. If I came off as an rear end or arrogant, I am sorry. I had no intention of treating it like that, I was simply trying to give a little advice.
