Whoo hoo, street photography thread .dunno posted:Street photography makes up the majority of my work. I was inspired by Severin Koller and Chris Weeks, both of which have done amazing work. I have a problem with a lot of the street photography groups on Flickr. The most popular ones I know of are called things like hardcore or raw and I find that my work doesn't exactly fall into those two categories (or anything like that). If anything, I'd like to think that my work is more honest and truthful, giving great respect to what I capture. Regardless, I enjoy doing it. Some recent stuff: Radbot posted:Do you guys set out to take street photos, or do you just take your camera along whenever you plan to be walking about? I do both. My most recent trip was to Venice Beach. Went there specifically to shoot, but I always have my camera on me. Feels weird walking around without it now.

Why? To share with others. I think that's the easiest way to say it. http://cweeks.deviantart.com/art/Why-23125033 is an 18 page answer. Also the introduction to the book he made http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/480228 (hit preview book and full screen and you can read the text), while it doesn't exactly explain why, does explain street photography in a light that I like.

Twenties Superstar posted:50mm focal length is very important Oprah Haza posted:Street photography isn't just taking pictures of a street, it's taking pictures FROM the streets, if that makes sense. Which is why longer focal lengths don't work. When you're using something above, say, 75mm, you're really honing in on one single person and unless you're really far away (and, thus, a coward) you're not going to be able to get that person in their environment.
