Street photos for C&C

sasar

Guys,

I would really appreciate some C&C for the shots below. No post-processing done, might do it later on if needed.

Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of street photography, but 3,4,5 are really nice. I love the light, the colour, the movement .... they scream of summer.

Its hard to give C&C on shots like these without knowing what you wanted to achieve, having said that, for me #1 and #4 work best, with #1 you have captured the reaction of the two guys very well. #4 is the pick of them for me, I see the guy sitting as isolated from the flow of life passing by.

Thanks guys!

Personally I like #3 & #4 the most.

I like taking long exposure shots, usually I try to find someone who will stand still and capture the movement around him. Today it didn't work out too good as it was way too sunny.

Love #1 lots.
Funny thing was today I was going to photo all the buskers but then I got drawn into looking for a copy of GTA4.

Really like the 1st and 4th. Really fun summery feel to all of these.

I'll probably get slated but sure wtf.

They're all "nice shots".

No.4 is the pick of the bunch, because it tells a story. I often wonder why people associate so called street photography with homeless people and buskers. There's a whole world of other stuff out there if you care to look.

From looking at your shots over the last while, I think you have much better than this in you.

3 is my fave, it's really sharp & bright/colourful. Good stuff!

Do you offer the winos money? can't imagine them wanting to pose for you willingly unless they got some "odds" towards booze.

Each to their own, I am not mad on the Scenery/touched up pics posted up and actually like Baz's stuff.

Usually I take pictures and only after the shoot give the money, if I feel it was worth it. Today all of them saw me taking pictures and had no problem with it. some of them got paid

It's not that I associate street photography with homeless people, it's just one of the things that I like to shoot.

Lost you

I was commenting on the OP's (Sasars) as requested.:eek:

AnimalRights

aahh for some reason I thought you were referring to Baz's, probs cos his main subject is the street stuff.

No 4 without a doubt is the best by far, why because it makes you think. Well done its a brilliant capture.

I like them. I've always liked the style - makes for a very dynamic picture - the sense of movement.

Great way of highlighting a subject in freeze frame.

With the sunny weather, would they have worked better as B&W?

Agree, 4 is outstanding
