Are you out in the open when you do this sort of photography or do you conceal yourself in a doorway or something similar. It always terrifies me at the thought of pointing my camera at strangers.

JonnyGoodboy In reply to AdamsWife [2009-06-02 18:55:52 +0000 UTC]

You`re certainly not alone Eve,many others on here I`ve read and co-erced with would have kittens at the prospect of shooting other people in public and I can totally understand that too

I`m always out in the open when I street shoot Eve,I see this was shot at 88mm so I was probably 20-30 yards away and if I recall sitting on a bench waiting to see what interesting scenes played out in front of me

AdamsWife In reply to JonnyGoodboy [2009-06-03 21:50:23 +0000 UTC]

I think you are very brave. Especially in this day and age when, not only would there be much suspicion as to why you are pointing the camera at people, it doesn't take much to be set upon by hooligans on city streets these days. Take care.

JonnyGoodboy In reply to AdamsWife [2009-06-05 00:14:39 +0000 UTC]

Don`t worry Aunty Eve,I can handle myself and I`ve literally taken 100`s of Street shots now (80% were from last year,haven`t done as much this year yet but want to sort that out now in the Summer ) and I`ve only been approached once by a jealous lesbian (I took a shot of her girl ) and I happily deleted it cos it was crap anyway
Also 3 security guards in London,two said no one was allowed to shoot their building,ridiculous cos I only had to go 10 yards further back and I was out of their territory and could shoot it there anyway and another who was just doing a random check...all 3 were cool btw

crowthius In reply to ??? [2009-05-30 23:12:28 +0000 UTC]

The depth of field in this is brilliant, not to mention the story unfolding; the black guy is thinking 'Damn, I could hit that!'. The oriental girl is obviously jealous. This is a couple stepping out with confidence and they know it.

I gotta take more shots like this. Do you just wait, camera at the ready, on a street bench and take these shots covertly? Or do you walk around and take them brazenly? Whatever, an amazing piece of observation, Jonny

JonnyGoodboy In reply to crowthius [2009-05-31 17:51:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you Steve for the class commentary,I didn`t know you were into Street
Lot of techniques and approaches can be taken for street and I`ve tried most already I imagine.

For this particular shot,I sat on a bench and waited to see what interesting developments came my way...exhibit A^^^
This one »»» [link] was opportunistic and spur of the moment as I walking back to my car.
This »»» [link] I was mingling amongst the masses looking for characters and situations to pop out.

crowthius In reply to JonnyGoodboy [2009-05-31 18:22:02 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. I thought this shot deserved comment, as does a lot of your stuff. I don't always get the time to comment and I hate to fave a shot without doing so.

I love street, I could look at it all day long. Especially good stuff like this. There are a few reasons why I don't get to do it. As I already mentioned, I don't get that much free time and my passion other than photography is walking, so when spare time permits I'm in the Yorkshire Dales or the North Yorkshire Moors, primarily. Another reason is that I live in Leeds. To do street I would have to go into Leeds where, and don't ask why, I am quite well known and I would hate to be seen wandering around with a camera. There's a bit of a trainspotter stigma attached to it in the circles I move in.

I like the 'seated on a bench' approach that's probably the one I would go for, it's gotta be more subtle than sticking a camera in someones face. That wouldn't go down well in Leeds, I just know it wouldn't.

Anyway, all of this is just academical at the moment. I may be moving shortly to a very remote area, that's where I am at the mo. The nearest large town is three hours away. Nothing deffo yet, but keep an eye on my journal

JonnyGoodboy In reply to crowthius [2009-06-05 22:06:00 +0000 UTC]

I can understand that Steve,it`s never the easiest option I don`t think to shoot street in your own backyard and the general person (that may well know you as you say) wouldn`t get street and would simply think it strange to want to shoot a complete stranger

Doesn`t sound like you`ll be doing of it anytime soon either then if your move goes down,good luck with it mate,sounds great

Thanks again mate,I was hoping fold would dig the blur and that`s precisely why I did it,to throw even more focus on who matters most

Great street shot, interesting choice of blur. I dislike the fact that on my very bright monitor, there are areas that are just blacked out however, is this due to post-processing?

Heck, Jonathan--MY eyes almost popped out of my head looking at that lovely lass I like all the different expressions you captured in this shot. It's always interesting to see how others percieve and react to the world around them.

Excellent work brother!
