3 NYC street candids...

[syphlix]

Hi guys -

Just wanted to share a couple of my recent shots. These are all candids taken on the streets of nyc... i'm a big fan of just looking at people... and i'd say these would be the equivalent of just people watching...

These were taken with a Canon 7d, either with the 24-70mm or 70-200mm (usually at the long end of the lens).

They're nicely done candids, but all are appearing somewhat under-exposed on my monitor.

#3 is my favorite.
Good work.

Very crisp and clear. I was expecting a little 'more' street scene, but these are good. 2 has some character to it. 1 doesn't do anything for me and 3 looks like an iPod ad.

I am lovin #2 but therez some sorta dark area to the top left corner that is really distracting also i wish the top of his head isn't cut off....but the expression you caught was priceless. great job on this set, keep shooting and posting:thumbup:

They seem underexposed, but I really enjoy #1 and #3, but #3 more so. The light is perfect.

I like them all. Number 2 and 3 more so. I enjoy this kind of photography too. Capture life as it is.

i really like 1 and 3 with the second one I would have tried to get the top of his head along with the rest of the shot that you got of him.

All our nice. I like #2. They seem a tad under exposed but personally I like them a tad darker.

thanks for the comments guys!

i'd argue that #2 is prob the underexposed one... i pulled it back a little bit and i may have gone to far on it... especially looking at this face it needs to be brighter for sure...

i'd say #1 is where i wanted it... his face is exposed correctly (i think?... you guys don't think his face is too dark do you")...

One looks okay to me but 2 and 3 look under exposed.

2 is my favorite but the orange cap in the background is kind of distracting.

i totally agree on the cap.. i actually tried desat it a little or unbright it... but it ended up making it look weird so i just left it...

very nice, I like #2 the most I think, Im going down to NYC next month for the first time, any ideas for good places to get some candids?

 

[swmocity]

i love them all, very cool

crash, it's pretty ez to not stick out too much if you go to the tourist type places where theres a ton of people anyways... things like times sq or soho...

otherwise, i would just walk around to find a random area that appeals to you and shoot away!
