Taken on Halloween night during the Fremont Trollaween in Fremont, Washington.

I've recently forced myself out of that comfortable zone of shooting

inanimate objects and landscapes and into street photography.

Something I've always wanted to do, but it has always seemed so

intimidating (still does even when I'm doing it; but also

exhilirating). The shots I took on Halloween night were a bit easier

(people in costume tend to want to be seen; so it's more relaxed). I

also like the inconspicuous nature of shooting without a flash (hence

my fondness for Neopan 1600, Delta 3200 and TMax 3200. Now I'm

looking to maybe clean up my shooting more as I also try to get a

handle on how these films perform under the different lighting

conditions. Any tips or observations are very much welcome. Thank

you.

Hahaha, this photo makes me laugh. Subject material is amusing but the aesthetics of the actual photo are odd. She's on a theatre stage? Too much black space.

Karen: Thank you for the comment. No, it's a non-posed candid street shot taken after the Fremont Trollaween parade (everyone was milling around, waiting to go into the Troll-a-go-go party). Light fallout can't be helped, night shot with available light (a street light probably 10 ft behind me) without a flash.

I didn't find this photo very intersting. Dark background doesn't help me to relate the person to her situation.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Was wondering if you could explain what you mean by "Dark background doesn't help me to relate the person to her situation"? In what way?

I also thought she would be on a stage. Great shot!
