Played around with some street photography the other day. While

being generally shy and self-conscious about intruding on people's

privacy, I shot one roll asking folks to take their pic and one roll

in "stealth" mode. For most of this roll, I took my 50mm and held

the camera at sternum level, while trying to snap using my peripheral

vision. Most shots came out awful, but I kind of like this one.

Would love to hear people's thoughts on the ethics of street

shooting. My instinct is to ask people before shooting, but it seems

to me to be very difficult to capture the espirit of street through

posing. Any thoughts?

great great light.

February 23, 2002

great contrast.

that's a heck of a big file, stan - you might want to reduce the size before posting.

February 23, 2002

well captured - the heat jumps off the sands

i find this ethereal and lovely. don't mind the ratings.

February 23, 2002

great expression.

February 23, 2002

great lighting. no,*really* great lighting.

February 23, 2002

light seems a bit harsh.

February 23, 2002

very nice. did you do a bit of burning here?

February 23, 2002

a little dark, imo

February 23, 2002

stunning in impact. very well done.

February 23, 2002

nice

February 23, 2002

i think it's a little too dark.

February 23, 2002

wow. wow, wow, wow. very very nice. i wish i could find something to "critique", but this is just about perfect.

ps. "only" a 600mm?

February 23, 2002

perhaps a little dark?

February 23, 2002

kind of like a test strip. i wonder how it would look if the background or the model stayed the same tone and the model/background changed?

February 20, 2002

you've got this type of shot down pat. was this really taken with a 200L?

February 20, 2002

great decisive moment. just wonderful.

February 20, 2002

very nice. best in the folder.

there's more here than just the blue shirt and mountains. nice positioning of the shape of the coast and where you positioned the girl in the frame. to me this is a great "magazine ad" type of photo, but i think it might have more impact if it was on a sunny day versus overcast. the overcast makes it kind of gloomy, and i think what you're trying to sell might be different than that. apologies if i got the message wrong, that's just my impression.

I had never been up to this area before, but I did plan to hit the area at peak colors and at sunset. Actually, a couple of photo.net members were a big help in nailing down the dates for peak colors in this area, which was even more pertinently helpful since I live 10 hours away from this spot!
