I love taking photos and people are my favorite subjects. Humans are a curious bunch, making for some (hopefully) interesting photos.
At first I was scared of it, but I've come to sort of relish the way people glare at you when you're taking their photo. It's become a game almost to get someone to notice you, acknowledge you and react. Although other times it pays to be invisible.
Anyways, here's some more of downtown San Antonio on my Sony a5000 & kit lens.
^^This guy was my favorite subject. Such an amazing smile and the kindest man to speak to.
So what say you? Which is your favorite, which is your least favorite?
And to a few of my favorite photographers and photography eyes on steemit: @prakashghai @photo-trial @jamtaylor @gringalicious @firepower @cottonlazuras @foxkoit @shieha @lck @outerground @kus-knee
What do y'all think? I so value all of your opinions, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for stoppin' by!

Great works, I love black and white photography too, especially taken with my ricoh GR II, it gives good performance in B&W photos!

Thanks so much! And I've never been exposed to that camera, but yeah it's always nice to shoot in B+W especially on those overcast days

Thanks!! I appreciate the love! Although, I wouldn't want you to waste your votes.. anything older than 7 days doesn't receive your upvote -but you still lose voting power :( Again thanks for the love!

I don't know about that. Thanks for the tip. I only have 75.83% voting power. What is that mean? @chrissymchavez

So, that just means that you aren't voting at full strength which is okay. You only have 10 upvotes at full voting power then it starts to diminish with every upvote. I think you should just keep voting, but just don't vote for anything over 7 days old because then it doesn't go anywhere but you still diminish your voting power.

I really like the last one, the way those two are gazing in opposite directions, and also the way the light reflects off the gentleman who is missing a few of his front teeth. Most people missing teeth like that would be hesitent to crack such a wide smile, nice!!!

That's great feedback! And yeah, he was such a charismatic guy! No regard for what anyone else thought though, he was his own man for sure.

I like your friend's toothy smile - he seems like a fun guy. The middle picture of him giggling has to be my favorite.
Side note - could you have exposed those a bit more, or did they start to wash out? They all look a tad underexposed to me, but perhaps it's just the computer I'm using. Either way, nice find on some of your subjects!

Fair enough, yeah I tried to brighten them a bit but they did tend to get a bit washed out. I'll try to find that balance, thanks for the feedback!
