marcsharp Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 <p>When doing street photography, I seem to get better results shooting at a higher ISO even in good light. I think the fast shutter speed helps to get a sharper image. I will also often stop down to about f/5 sometimes to increase my chances of getting things in focus. I'm still shooting people from far away, because I'm to shy to ask permission. However, I like the shots that people get when they do ask. I am working on overcoming the shyness.<br> I don't even think these people saw me. I just saw them. They looked interesting, so I took the picture from across a street with a 70-200mm zoom.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcsharp Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 <p>Here is another taken much closer. This time I just snuck up, composed the shot, and fired away unnoticed. There were lots of other people watching me, but my victim was totally oblivious.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcsharp Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 <p>And here is someone who saw me taking her picture. I just smiled and waived as she walked by and continued her phone conversation. I chose this subject because of her unique fashion sense.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds_meador Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 <p>Catherine,<br> Here's another one. This one obviously posed. This was the second year that I shot this street dancer at the Festival de Dança in Joinville, SC. I sent him a copy the first year and he and several of his friends were happy to let me shoot them the second year. I even got to shoot them doing impromtu in between sets the second year. I'm hoping to see them again in 2011. So, events or competitions where people may come back year after year may be a good place to actually get repeat subjects.<br> DS Meador</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htarragon Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 <p>Thanks Catherine. It's a funny sequence for me. I thought she was giving me the evil eye in her first shot, but then she hung around for a few minutes, waiting for me to ask her and then went to wait for a bus. The dime finally dropped for me and I asked her if I could take her picture. The bus came and I took the two shots. How shyness makes us miss opportunities! Fortunately, in this case, I didn't completely miss it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street subjects can walk away at any time and frequently do, often without much or any warning, so you must always be 'at your best' and honed to the highest level and able to work quickly under pressure with many distractions. There is no time for contemplating your navel shooting 'street' or 'street portraits'.</em><br> Ain't this the truth!<br> I had a street shot opportunity of a lifetime pass me by (NYC) because I didn't have my camera.. that won't happen again!</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
