Downtown Denver

RockstarPhotography · Apr 1, 2011

Since there is a variety of pics i'll just post them here. Some shots from walking around downtown today. First time I've done "street photography" so I guess this is the right forum. I kind of like it, might do some more.

I *love* number 6. I couldn't figure out what was going on with that refection for a second, ha. What lens were you using?

Great street shots! I love em. #3 for me however my eyes are drawn to what is written on the guitar case. I would like to see more of the guitar case and the lady singing as in #4 as part of the frame and less of the bare wall. #4 is nice too but would like it in color. Ever thought of talking to the black man to take a close up shot of him while playing chess? That would be a perfect portrait taken outdoors.

Street Photography is like heroin, once you try it, you are hooked and will go back for more. You'll bring your camera when taking a walk to the supermarket, to the barber shop, even to the strip joint and take a shot at cats, windows, doors, gates, letters, signs, shoes hanging on lamp posts...

Time to get a Manfrotto 608B monopod and practice how to swing it hard with one had.

I did a shot with the whole guitar case in it. Problem is that right after the crop on the left hand side the building goes to glass. There were too many reflections and distractions in it so I chose this image. I didn't talk to the guy playing chess. He looked like he was concentrating pretty hard and I didn't want to disturb him.

Your right in that this is addicting! I haven't had this much fun taking pictures in a long time!
