I love how you described "street photography" and offered tips for it. And thank you for the prize of the previous 2 contests! Oh how I adore this theme, can I enter 3 times, 1 in each tier? ;)

Here is my entry for this time, there are so many more waiting there. It was when I strolled a street in La Habana Vieja (Old Havana in Cuba), a lively and hectic district full of local charm. The doors of local homes are usually wide open, and portrait of Fidel Castro or Che Guevara is a common sight on the wall. The locals enjoy sitting outside, chatting or playing music. I got lots of invitations to sing and dance together with them when walking through the streets. It was great fun!

martinsandersuk (54) · 7 years ago

This is really nice @itchyfeetdonica.

I think you could maybe get more drama from the shot if you forced the blacks to be a bit punchier and raising the contrast, then adjusting mid tones and highlights to suit. making it punchier and a little gritty. Of course it's subjective, and just my taste, and in no way criticising. Hope that's cool? 🙂

itchyfeetdonica (68) · 7 years ago

Hey Martin! Thanks a lot for your great advice. =) I was actually thinking the same, but I only quickly adjusted it on my phone with Lightroom, and when I pushed the blacks, the face of Che got totally dark, so I gave up on that. I guess I need to use a multi-layer image editor like PS on my laptop to keep his face still brightened?

martinsandersuk (54) · 7 years ago

I only use LR myself, but on a large screen, maybe my eyes, but one of those things where size does matter, lol, like prints. 😊

Ok. So I had a really hard time picking mine out. I think the magic about street photography is perfect timing. This is one my favorite photos.

I was walking along a small "boring" street when I found this really interesting old lady just resting peacefully in front or her house, the shadow was beautiful and her face was perfectly lit. I stood there for a while waiting for that perfect timing, and out of nowhere, this girl just came out of her house, a n d . . . click.

It was single shot.

I am a beginner. This photo was taken in Italy several years ago. We went there for vacation. I kept taking pictures there, because I just love Italian architecture. It’s so funny, seems like people on the photo decided to wear matching colors:-)

intrepidphotos (75) · 7 years ago (edited)

I don't take a lot of street photography; its not really my forte. Unfortunately I am no doubt still down for the professional category from the last few comps ! This is a shot I took on a particularly wet and shiny night at Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, Japan. The crossing is one of the busiest in the world.

The best way to explore a city is on foot. Even if New York is a pretty big city you should walk as much as you can through the streets. There are pretty places to discover everywhere and you will feel the real spirit of the city.

Lunch in Rome
On a weekend visit to Rome a handful of years ago, I snapped this photo of a young couple pausing to eat their sandwiches under the columns of an ancient structure. They seemed so relaxed and happy to watch the busy world go by.

Entry: Professional

matkodurko (66) · 7 years ago (edited)

So just to make this clear @derangedvisions ...As I've already submitted my furred animals picture in the bucket "beginner" I can't take part now in e.g. "amateur" for this month? Cuz I'd had much better street pictures I've done during my travels soo I'd probably enter amateur this time...thx for answer and organizing!

Edit: Also I don't really care about the whole month ladder, cuz I'm not going to take part always. So I guess I can enter amateur this time or?

derangedvisions (73) · 7 years ago

This is actually a very good question. I will allow you to change tiers only if it is for a higher tier, like in your case how you are wanting to go from the beginner to amateur tier, but you will be locked into the higher tier for the remainder of the month once you make that change. My goal was to make this as fair as possible and I appreciate that you know that your street photography will be above the beginner level.

I will also update the rules to reflect the new changes as well.

matkodurko (66) · 7 years ago

Hahh well thanks for you answer but in the meantime I've realized that my pictures are 10 times worse than I've remembered them hahaha :D so I'm staying in beginner league :D

Aw man, I guess I have to enter the - no doubt highly competitive - Professional category!

I loved exploring Seattle, but for all the sights this one stands out most for me. For me this is what Street Photography is, it's not about epic scenery or crazy set-ups. It's the small moments that make you want to capture an otherwise ordinary scene. I'm not quite sure what was up with the atmospheric pressure, but just across the street we saw a rainbow coming straight out of this guys backpack.

Come to think of it I feel the ONLY possible explaination is that he is in fact a Leprechaun. Either we've been severely mislead or this guy is just an American Leprechaun with a backpack instead of a pot of gold.

gabyoraa (58) · 7 years ago

Woah, what a great coincidence. You met a leprechaun! hahahaha

Hi ~ I would like to enter amateur category as I am not beginner but I am not a professional photographer. Photography is my hobby.

This photo was taken at Tamsui district in Taiwan. This is a street performer singing alone the river side in the late afternoon. I remember he was singing country style English song at that time, he was really good. the Sunset, the city, the river and his performance makes you forgot about and time and the busy city life style. It looks like he was shouting at the sky and release all his emotion and the pressure. He is singing with his life and it was truly amazing feeling.

Hello @derangedvisions this is my entry for Deranged Photography Contest - Take it to the Streets.

The Repairman

Sony A77
1/1000 seg
f/2,8
ISO 250
This photo was taken in the Barranquilla Downtown in Colombia. This man is able to repair almost any appliance that you take to his street workshop, and he will always have a smile to give you.

I decided to enter the steemit community because I think my photographic work will be better valued here than in my own country. Street photography is one of the branches of photography for which I feel more attracted and also to which I dedicate more time lately.

I am an amateur photographer because nobody pays for my work, so today I will participate in this category: Amateur Photographer. Greetings and thank you so much.

Street photography, Las Vegas style. Shot at the Billagio, during the fountain show. The abstracty look is intentional and achieved by zooming the lens during a 1-second exposure. (Professional)

You can see my old Homecity from the older part you look into the modern Skyscraper part and you can see the "Commerzbank Tower" in Frankfurt on a cloudy night. This shot is an Smartphone shot. Love this angle from the old part into the future...

Hope you enjoy this shot.. i know it isnt the best quality ... i could UPGRADE it per software but the it will lose the special moment...

Even after 8 years it seems weird to say it but I guess I am a professional!
This shot was taken in Oxford, the light was so amazing and the architecture was stunning. The couple walking across the road with the couple walking towards them hand in hand worked so well, completely unposed and what I love about street photography!

Lovers Bridge, Tamsui (Taipei, Taiwan). I captured this couple walking across the bridge during sunset, using a 16mm wide angle lens was the best way to capture the symmetry and scale of the bridge!

Hi it's my amateur entry to the contest. I shoot this photo on the little street in Kraków city (Kazimierz).
There's a little girl running across the street and a truck that is crossing her through the street. Nice difference between them, like "david and goliath".

Hi, I enter for the Beginner level.

I took this photo when I visited the Acropolis Museum in Athens. Visitors will go through these folding doors to enter/leave the museum during opening hours. When two ladies were passing by, it looked like they are walking into a picture frame :)

I'd like to enter in the professional category, and have coincidentally started sharing more of my street photography the past week.

One of my favourite pictures 'from the streets' thus far is the one I'm entering today. The sudden simultaneous movement of the hands in front of these teenage boys' eyes, covering against the sun, a real 'decisive moment' captured, one second before or later and I would have had a very different shot :-)

Taken in my hometown Rotterdam, close to where I lived - I love that for street photography you can be literally anywhere - close to home or far far away.

This is my entry to this category. I want to say Beginner but I want to push myself to Amateur. This man was taken in front of our municipal hall. I was there sitting, waiting and taking photos when in came this colorful man. I saw the ice cream vendor parked near me and I thought of waiting for the man to be next to the vendor then took the photo.

bil.prag (68) · 7 years ago

We just came back from the Venezuelan Andes and while in the city getting some provitions we made some "street photography",so this one is just getting out of the oven. Walking thru the "Mercado Principal de Mérida" we found many places like this one, even when there is diferent separate sections with their own topics. All those are little shops/kiosks that sells pretty much whatever you look for and pretty much the all of them sells the same thing, most of the places are fully filled with stuffs from groceries, local beverages, local sweets, handcraft stuffs, musical instruments, toys, hats... The mos interesting fact is that everything is handmade by local artisans.

fotostef (67) · 7 years ago

Street photography is not my strong suit.
Actually it has been a lot of years since I last practiced on this fascinating kind of photography. I meant to shot something new but the last few days that the contest stands, I didn’t had the opportunity to do so.
Nevertheless I like this contest and I wanted to take part in it so I dug up this shot from a trip on the island of Kos in Greece, a few years ago. I am not very happy with the framing but it all happened in a split of a second and I am glad I even managed to capture the scene.
