Of course, in Venice the tourists are the "easiest targets"!
Mostly so because they are just about everywhere. And as many streets in Venice are waterways, there is little choice...

But, of course, there also are the little and the big squares! The biggest and busiest being St. Marc's Square, of course.

More from there later.

Right. Now is "later", I've had breakfast with the family now and can continue.

But during our stay in Venice, I tried to spot those who "belong", who either live or work in Venice and don't come visiting as tourists, so I might give those a post of their own?

1. This "Comandante di Polizia" sure "belongs"... and he arrives by boat, on the waterways, which equivalates any street elsewhere!

2. Lunch break for young people who might be (art?) students - or office workers of sorts, I don't know

3. Mother and daughter walking their dog - and hmph ... I missed the dog, missed what the mother is pointing at - only did I not miss the daughter being all absorbed in her "world of texting" ;-)

4. He did not look like a tourist to me - what made those who I was convinced they "belonged" stand out from the tourists was the fact that they usually wore more clothes. It was a nice, warm, sunny April day, and the tourists would sport t-shirts and shorts or so, but the Venice people would sport more clothes - light coat, long trousers...

5. (Sorry, this is not Flickr's fault, this one IS not quite sharp... )

7. Upon taking this one, I had high hopes it would turn out really good - but it didn't :cry: ... but I'll still keep it.

8. These two are tourists, they walk with a map in hands (the older lady does), but well ... I took their photo at the same time and from the same spot as all the others in this post, so I just include them.

9. Many of these did not turn out in the way I had hoped they would --- too much tele, I'm afraid (as I was sitting in a café in the shade, they walked by with the sun in their backs, and exposure may have been much longer than I would have expected - but I'm too lazy to go check on the EXIF-data just now...)

Venice is such a photogenic city and I really liked your collection. Reminded me of a few I took at St. Marks last fall

Some great shots

Probably not the nicer side of Edinburgh city centre

It's a lot easier to take photos of random people in the street when you're in a city!
It would be so much harder to go taking street photos in my tiny place.

I'm appalled at the way Flickr makes the uploaded photos look soft ...

I agree with both your statements. But I have shot many street pictures in small cities and yes they are harder to come by, but they are there.

As for flicker, I hate it.

Wonderful street pictures...Pigeons always enhance a street picture, those flying rats are good for something
