I thought this "Street Shots" episode was fascinating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-IOEAlBpSo Quite a different approach than Gilden's, but his photos are really quite good. Plus, he's on flickr.

dunno posted:When I watched all those videos the first time his was the one I most enjoyed, but probably more because his charisma and humour make him a more interesting subject, but he has some wise words too. I'd really like to have his no-look confidence. Definitely. I'm not sure how I feel about the spray-and-pray method with which he shoots, because for me it raises the question of whether the shots he comes up with are more luck or skill. This would be a difficult method of photography were one shooting with film. However, he certainly produces the goods, and that's what really matters to me.

Do you guys set out to take street photos, or do you just take your camera along whenever you plan to be walking about?

Kaerf posted: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. What a refreshing mindset. I think it's very tempting (and easy) to be exploitative within the realm of street photography. Showing respect towards your subject seems to be a value in short supply these days.

Those are some flippin' sweet shots, Pompous. They've got a superb organic feel to them. The girl with the water gun and the black and white shots are my favorite. It looks like you have some interesting halation on the last one, or is that just me? Not to sound like a gearfag, but what did you scan these with?

What's going on with the processing in the last set of photos? Is that HDR?

dorkasaurus: Nice work, those are some awesome portraits. They seem a little soft to me though, is this intentional?

Dorkasaurus, what made you gravitate to the Pentax? It's pretty much the most beastly camera I've ever seen that doesn't have a vertical ground glass focusing screen. Also, why 6x7? Massive real estate?

Let me know how the RZ works out for you, Sadi. I've been looking at different equipment and the RB stuff seems to be a steal for 6x7 compared to the Pentaxes or RZ. Hopefully some of your experience will be translatable to the RB.

This thread makes me really glad I swapped economics for photography in college.
