hi liter posted:Sure. Guitarman: I'm not seeing the focus at all. The photo lacks anything that draws the eye and certainly not to the space where the people are. I'm also not seeing "relatively busy" or "sad" being conveyed in any way , especially not by the guitarist that we can't see the face of. The fact that you had to rely on some slight desaturation to tell the story is kind of telling. Runners: It's just kind of boring. A lot of street photography that gets posted in this thread is just "hey I took this picture of this boring or at best mildly interesting thing on a street!" with very little thought to composition. Bike and dress: Same problem, panning is cool technique to learn, but a cool technique only carries a picture so far when both the subject and scene is boring. And is a pink dress really so uncommon that it needs to be photographed?

Echoing Noghog, there's nothing specifically wrong with the processing, but it's not what's making the images ineffective. Street photography is very much an editor's game. If you're keeping shots you're unsure of, they aren't good. burzum karaoke fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Oct 9, 2014 |

try it with a lime posted:Echoing Noghog, there's nothing specifically wrong with the processing, but it's not what's making the images ineffective. Street photography is very much an editor's game. If you're keeping shots you're unsure of, they aren't good. Alright. I think I've definitely got a newbie  thing going on. I'll keep shooting and hold off on processing for what, 2-3 weeks? Then I'll try and come share what I think are the best 2 shots from that. I read Eric Kim's thing on holding off processing but I'm too much of a feedback skank to wait longer than that I think.edit: Also, I appreciate the feedback and comments. Two takeaways 1. Be pickier with my processing - shoot more, wait longer between processing 2. Be more patient for a  decisive moment  , less arbitrary snapping.

Eric Kim posted:...to make a great photograph, you need to work the scene. You will never know when the “best” decisive moment will occur. In a scene, there are many different great potential “decisive moments”. You generally only know which is the best “decisive moment” afterwards in the editing phase. Ok this seems to be a key concept/technique that I had not thought about.

Being a strict self editor is really important. Some photographers even let their work sit for a few years before editing so that they are removed from the feelings they experienced while taking that photo allowing them to be more objective. I just developed 2 rolls of film and nothing on either of them will be shared with anyone, now that can be frustrating.

Primo Itch posted:Shame it's ninety-loving dolars on amazon I posted in the photo book thread about it. It's pretty sweet. And if you think about it, the price of the book is a mere fraction of what a lens or body costs, but it'll probably do more for your photography than some new glass.

Yeah because we need more photos of people sitting behind their counter looking bored. The second one is marginally less boring than the first.
