Not sure this is a "street" photo, but the tones sure are nice! Want to just touch it. I kept catching people as they turned around in the sun, got some good reaction shots today.  Marlboro Reach by SirWyeth, on Flickr  At a Glance by SirWyeth, on Flickr

LargeHadron posted:What kind of processing did you do here? I really like this look and I want to know how to achieve it. Maybe a subtle split toning?  Thee's the obvious bumping of contrast going on which oversaturated the colours, so I pulled back on those. The split-toning is pretty subtle:  Hope this helps! Wyeth those street portraits are superb! I took some shots into the sun this weekend. I'm not sure if you class them as street though.

Yeah, it was weird, there were all these people swarming around and she looked so zen as I snapped the photo (*right* as she noticed me standing there), and then she kinda blinked and put her head down and wandered off. I am very curious as to what she was thinking about, because it certainly wasn't the art festival she was standing in the middle of.

Just to my eye though. This kid BIT it just moments after this photo was taken. Totally ate pavement.  Long Engagement by SirWyeth, on Flickr

^^ Skateboarding I assume? That's a pretty hilarious photo without context though. I don't really have too much time this quarter to go out and work on some photography, usually the time I get are the in the breaks between classes.  Tiny Dog by jemuelb, on Flickr

Wyeth posted:Great project that you also managed to, as most of us rarely do, finish. Love the sense of life, you can smell the street. Nice work! Thanks for the valued comments! I rarely see anything through, so I was happy to get this under the belt. It's definitely given me motivation to get stuck in to a new project. After some some indecisiveness and creative block I think I have found an channel I want to explore.

This is something I definitely need to get used to. I don't know how you all photograph people/kids without getting your asses kicked. Admittedly, though, my wife is the only person who has ever gotten mad at me for pointing my camera at strangers. I'm not confident enough to photograph someone without permission unless they don't know I'm doing it. Here's a few I took yesterday that weren't very daring.

So today was my first real attempt at "street" photo, whatever the hell that means. The NATO protests were an awesome setting to test it out in, though. And unfortunately I had filled my cards before the massive march through downtown at 9~ish PM happened. Time to buy more storage. I'm still working on the full collection in Lightroom now, but here's what I've thrown on my 500px so far:         ^  I know I'm a victim of split-toning. Don't kill me, I've only been shooting since last summer. At least it's not HDR. Menorah on Fire fucked around with this message at 08:59 on May 21, 2012 |

Taking pictures of people you don't know is fun. Some shots in London with the good ol' Canon AV-1 and some crappy kit lens. I'm not experienced by any means so YMMV.

I got a little more confident about shooting people without asking. Nobody yelled at me except my wife, so maybe I'll do this more often from now on. Once I get used to it, maybe I'll start catching people in more interesting moments.

This is an actual moment with a real mood to it AND it's well framed. Nice one. I think you messed up his skin tones in the BW conversion though. He looks black, but I don't think he's a black guy (judging from the half of his face I can see). If he IS black, then, um... Oops.

I really, really like this one. I used to go to college in a small town so I saw this exact thing many times. Good choice for the angle of view. The gentle slope of the white road lines gives a sense that he is drifting casually down the street.

I stumbled across the Charlotte, NC, Clean & Green Festival the other weekend and had my camera on me...

I was walking around and found a 99% Anti-Bank of America activism training seminar. I snapped a quick shot while I was there. The man on the left has been arrested a number of times during protests and other activist activities. I think it'd be a stronger image cropped tighter on him, but I love the woman's expression on the right.  99% Training by iantuten, on Flickr

No, she and I chatted for a second as I rolled by and I just leaned down to take a quick snap, it was all decidedly uncreepy.

I left them in originally because it made the photo feel a little less "bounded" like more was going on outside the frame? but sure enough pulling it in makes it fell more like a contained moment. I like it.
