Nancy... its like anything else, you have to practice at it for it to feel like second nature. Sooner or later it'll get easier and you'll feel better about it. After a while, you'll know if you want to continue on or not, but you'll never know if you don't give it a good try, right?

Anyways... one thing that helped me was picking <i>events</i> to photograph. People kind of expect photographers to be there & to be photographed and they will even kind of pose for the camera which will make you feel a wee bit easier. Over time, I chose to photograph spectators & others who weren't expecting camera attention. Then I moved onto busy, touristy sections of the city where people with cameras are an ever present thing. Soon I took to subway cars & neighborhood street corners. I tried the hip shots but didn't care for the sneeky aspect of it (ymmv) so I took to working on raising my camera quickly & pre focusing to lessen the time it takes me to pull off a shot. Over time I got more comfortable & took to photographing in places like cafes & bakeries. Sometimes I engage in conversation, sometimes I don't. I am rather blatant, but I refuse to be apologetic & will simply stop shooting if someone asks me to. Perhapse its because I am a woman, but I never had anyone act negatively towards me photographing except for once on the 7 train which was all around embarassing because I had a duh moment & tried to photograph a tatoo on some kid's hand with my 50mm while his hand happend to be located near his crotch area. In the end, once I explained myself, we both laughed & I was a lovely shade of red until I got to Grand Central.

Eventually I will have prints made. I'm just screwing around at the moment. Never cross processed before & play leads to vision (or one hopes it does)

The same frame scanned in as transparency slide film & then inversed

 

I did no touching up or curves adjustment besides inversing in photoshop yet to either of these<div></div>

OK, here are samples of the two different ways to scan...

 

This one is scanned in as a generic reversal print film<div></div>

EEEK! color SHIFTS! Color poo would not be a good thing I think :-)

I just had my first roll of film cross processed & had some questions

about scanning it. Its Slide (E6) film that I had cross processed.

When I scan it, is it more the norm to scan it in as transparency and

then invert to a positive in photoshop or scan it in as color reversal?

 

I am doing both right now to see the effects on the color shits, but

was wondering what the norm is?

Jonathan, there is nothing natural about that park, it is completely landscaped down to The Ramble. Even the rocky outcroppings were added for aesthetic purposes. Whether or not you liked the gates, they were temporary and actually got people out & in the park in the winter which is a miracle of sorts.

I give up <b><i> sigh</i></b>
