Hi all
Street photography must be some of the most fun photography ever. So, here's a thread for it and I hope you will contribute some of your street photography images.
This article explains what street photography is: http://www.in-public.com/information/what_is
Key elements are spontaneity, public places, timing, get the right bits in, emotional impact of some kind, and personal empathy with the subject. Can be with people or of people or without people in the picture. You just take your camera and go, no planning, no time to fiddle with settings, no tripod.
I took Christmas lunch today with PHilJ, well-known to the forum, who swiped my D610 and took the first shot below. There is in fact a person in this picture - you! - because you feel you are just walking into it. It feels so inviting!
The second picture I took in the street in Quito. This distant street trader (400mm on cropped) looked over her shoulder only momentarily but to me her face is full of expression.
All the best and looking forward to seeing your street shots!
Jeff
