'08 Subject Assignment #9 – THE STREET - Due April 11th

[One Sister]

I vacillated about posting this one. Perhaps it doesn't follow the rules. A gutter puddle caught my eye and as I spun about trying to get the reflection to act right I slipped and fell in the challenge; no worries, the camera is fine, but now I'm pretty attached to the dang photo.

Hello!

An opportunistic snap on the streets of Tunbridge Wells, England, during a lunchbreak photographic excursion with Scurra.

I am a complete novice and this is my first ever photo uploaded on TPF, so I would greatly appreciate any C&C you have to offer (on both the photographic and PP sides!). If you like something, please tell me why; and equally if you don't like something, please tell me why - so that I can omit the bad and encourage the good!

I am really looking forward to learning from you guys as I've already learned a lot more than I thought I would just from browsing various threads in the forum.

I've really enjoyed all the entries so far

Enough babble, here's my photograph for the photo assignment

Thanks for being so commited to the assignment! :hug::

Thank you for your contribution to the assignment thread! Congrats on your first post. I love the selective color in this one.

I found this Dog tied up on the side walk, outside a coffee shop the other day.

What a sad looking little pup! Thanks for the cool capture.

I was driving down a side street and came across this.

This may be a bit of a stretch on the subject but either way it's an entry... often times the old cemeteries in New Orleans are referred to as "Cities of the Dead" and if that be the case this is a street in one of those "Cities of the Dead". In this case the "City" is Lafayette Cemetery #1. This cemetery was established in 1833 and was once part of the Livaudais Plantation. The cemetery is distinguished by its intersecting avenues which were designed to accommodate funeral processions. Lafayette was New Orleans first planned cemetery and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

This was a great shoot on a cloudy day. It wasn't what I had in mind for "Street" as those ominous looking clouds grew angrier by the minute I chose to put off a trip into the French Quarter to grab some shots there. I spent about an hour in this cemetery and walked away with around 175 shots for the day, several of which I believe are real "keepers". That nasty weather caught up with me about half way across the Ponchatrain Causeway Bridge (longest bridge in the world!) and turned what had been superb weather and light for shooting into a nasty day of rain, thunder and lightning.

Oh and another one. Not 100% 'street' but related.

The above is a toll booth somewhere between Montana and NYS!! Bad weather so I had to get this from the window, also the traffic was moving.



I think the sign means no U turn....but he tried anyway!

Gary, Indiania, anytime!

This was taken in the parking lot of a Red Lobster restaurant in Wisconsin on my 4000 mile trip in February 2008...

Great job everyone!

There is a street on the bridge.
