Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
Hi all. I used to frequent here years ago when I was a young teenager, and remember this being such a lovely community. Well I've recently got back into photography, street to be precise, and wanted to make contact again.

I just bought a new camera, a Fuji X-T4, which reignited the spark for it. I took some photos the other day that I want to share. I've only had time to edit a few of them so I'll just share the ones I have for now.

Thank you,
Craig

(p.s. the edit of the photo of the lady eating in the restaurant - how can I improve it?)

Try using your flippy LCD like a WLF. Next best thing to the "Cloak of Invisibility."

Crop bottom to where the window frame intersects the table. Crop a bit to the left.
She looks perturbed because you were too close and lingered futzing I'm guessing to get the shot. With a 50mm equiv and all those mp, I'd have backed up, gone for wider frame, then cropped. Work on pre-visualing. It involves slowing down and watching--not hunting with
the camera. Learning to dance with prime lenses--and zooming with your feet--takes some practice. For street, those flip-up LCD screens are killer. I've shot lots of medium format street with WLF cameras. That head-down, non-aimed posture draws little attention for not looking aggresive or obvious. Reflection can be tamed with haze reduction in post that mimics a polarizer.
Watch a maestro at work:
