First Street shoot, C&C welcome!

Hey guys after reading this:

Thomas Leuthard Interview: Why You Should be a Street Photographer at PhotoWhoa Blog | Discover how you can be a better photographer

I decided to head out into the city to give it a go. I had so much fun roaming the city with camera in hand i think i might do it more often. Having never done this before i didnt expect to get any keepers but after pulling the trigger around 250 times i did end up getting some good frames.

Please if you have any comments on what i can do better im all ears

I had loads of fun shooting the mime called Coalman, after about 15mins i left a decent amount of coins and an email address so he can see the photos.

I tried sneaking up on this Policeman because he was lookin serious (like robocop from the 80's) but he spotted me and put on a cheesy smile instead haha. Later i discovered i had got the boy in the background looking at policeman which im pretty happy about. I also discovered that id chopped the Policemans foot off hahaha ooops.

Spotted this dude fixing the automatic door inside an atrium, it took a few frames to get the result. After reviewing my good frames i think this is my fav

#4 is my favorite. On #3 it would have been a great portrait with the boy alone staring into the camera. The symmetry of#4 is perfect and the way you incorporated geometry into the photo is superb; sort of like Henri Cartier-Bresson would.

Good Luck, Great first shoot!

I like the long exposure of the coal man, very interesting.

 

[GrahamPhisher]

last one is dope imo.

Thanks for the positive feedback, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy when people enjoy my photos

gw2424 - I did think that after i realised the boy was there, sadly even if i had spotted him i probably wouldnt have had enough confidence to take a photo close up. i need an 85mm lens...

Pretty darned good for a first go at it!!!

 

[frommrstomommy]

love the 2nd.

 

[paigew]

2 & 4 are awesome!

 

[swashburn421]

Definitely a plus on the first and second! Great shots and well worth the trip in my opinion

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Nice images.

I'm fond of the last one.

 

[tevo]

Well done! The fourth one is great :thumbup:

I like the last one best, is there a way you can hide your reflection though? When it's blown up, it kind of bothers me.

 

[WryTheBteam]

Hah i never noticed that untill you mentioned it. Im not sure about hiding the reflection (dont like to PP too much if i can avoid it) i may have been able to use the CPL i had on the lens to get rid of it but i never noticed it when i was taking the shot

 

[thetrue]

Hehe just being nit-picky.

They are all great but number 4 is my fav!
