Someone had taken a dump in one of the stairwells of the Baltimore Museum of Art when I was there, but I just figured it was a Baltimore thing.

 Treats by dunos, on Flickr I wasn't overly comfortable about shooting in Paris - I got the distinct impression that people didn't want to have their photo taken (more so than usual). After a bit of googling I found out that it is very much not the done thing to take photos of people in France without permission. As an example I was allowed to take a photo of the Mona Lisa (everyone was - what a way to ruin an art gallery), but not of the people taking photos of the Mona Lisa

Subyng posted:eeeeeeh I don't know, isn't the point of street photography that it isn't manufactured? I don't know of a photograph that isn't manufactured in some way. Taking a photo at a certain place at a certain time is setting up the scene. The direction you point the camera in creates the perspective. The lens crops out the unwanted parts of the view. The camera records the quirks of the sensor, adds white balance, noise reduction, any number of modifications to the image. Then the exposure might be tweaked in post, colours changed, sharpening, dodging, burning, etc. How do you define what's "true" and what's "manufactured"? If you're being picky, everything in photography is manufactured, which is why it matters so little.

Yeah all of that is a given but adding a major compositional element like that shadow in post takes it outside the realm of street photography.

If you're being picky, everything in photography is manufactured, which is why it matters so little. Just as there are degrees to which one can consider a photograph to be manufactured, there are degrees to which one can consider a photograph to fit within the conventions of a genre. If street photography is meant to capture spontaneous, "real" moments, then I say that a photo with a fake shadow is less true to the genre, even if it stands as an excellent photo regardless of what genre you try to categorize it in. Of course if you don't care about categorizing things into genres then who cares. I don't disapprove of major post processing if it's done well, but I think what leaves a bad taste in people's mouths is the fact that it's so easy to do. Imagine you had to actually erect a physical wall in order to cast the photo in that picture, and wait for just the right time of day when the shadow lines up correctly. Such a feat definitely would have made me appreciate the photo more. But then again most photos don't come with commentary so does it really matter?

You may have heard of a guy called Henri Cartier-Bresson who took a lot of photos of people in Paris... I got this idea from my own experience over the weekend where a smile after pressing the shutter was not placating people as much as it would in other cities I have visited. That plus the security in the Louvre who told me that I couldn't take photos of people (but could take photos of the art). I then googled and came up with a range of reports about how some French law has made it all a bit more complicated. This is just one of the articles I came across: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/23/paris-city-of-rights/ try it with a lime posted:When you're given the benefit of the doubt of being a clueless tourist do whatever you want. I am pretty good at playing the clueless tourist and I didn't get a negative reaction in heavily touristed areas.
