I tried this once (admittedly with the intention of doing some HDR photography on buildings) and only came out with one half-way decent image (of a person at least). I'm quite angry I didn't get more of this guy. He has this intense expression that flicks onto his face from time to time like a silent-snarl almost.


I'm going to try and motivate myself to get back into this, as I'm probably going to spend part of the next week working in the city, I may have time to take some photos. I'll try and limit myself to my 18-55mm lens on my 450d.
Any other advice?
EDIT: loving huge image replaced.

Been working my butt off getting settled in Sydney, so not much quality work at the moment. This was a snapshot that I grabbed. Still not comfortable shooting total strangers, let alone children.

Not so much street as party but.

Does cliff top count as street? A PAD cross post.
This is John, who I met cutting up wood down one of the crevasses that dot the Bondi cliffs. The wood he’s lifting out is, by his count, ‘at least a hundred years old’ and used to be part of a wharf of jetty that they used to drive dump trucks onto to drop trash over the edge of the cliff, or to drive cars off for much the same reasons. The photo does not do justice to the depth of the crack he is in, a misstep or a bad foothold would mean a tumbling fall down onto the rocks and more than once my heart skipped as rheumy joints only just made a step up towards me. To his pride, John had discovered that the wood down there was not rotten, and he’d dug at least one eight foot long plank out before I’d arrived.

Cross post from the MF thread. Portra c330s/645Pro TL. Wish drum-scanners were cheaper these lab scans just don't have the flexibility.

Back alleys are streets right? Straight cross-posting from the medium format thread because I'm lazy.
More C330s, not quite in keeping with my earlier style, but I like the colours more, wish I could figure out what I did differently.

gently caress shooting the back of people but I can't justify drinking at midday just for the courage to shoot the front.

Anything I could do to make this better in post? I love the juxtapositioning of the girl and the tree, and the constrast and geometry is nice, but I feel it lacks a certain je nes se quoi.

Facebook loves the last one but I think it looks like it should have some saccharin text about loving life or moving to Paris or something equally as sickening over it.
