Getting out of my comfort zone street shots

tattoodjay (73) in photography • 7 years ago

I have seen people posting great street shots on here and it has inspired me to try

Now these shots may well be the best>quote but at least it's a start

I saw this guy sitting in a park just Around the block from my office he was enjoying a nice sunny day while looking at a paper I think

And when I saw a lady taking photos down 42nd street I just had to get a shot

Not the greatest of shots technically I know but I am glad I at least got a couple of shots of people that is really out of my comfort zone

Good for you. I try to do the opposite, getting people out of my shots so it's just landscape. You may force me to revisit my approach and try some street photography as well!

Street photography is a fun challenge. One trick is to not look like you are taking a picture. Henri Cartier-Bresson used a 35mm rangefinder camera. He set the focus at infinity and set the aperture and shutter speed so he would be in focus and sharp. He would shoot with out looking through the viewfinder. Just holding the camera at chest height with a very quiet shutter. With today's digital camera, you can do the same but set the camera on continuous so you have a better chance of catching the decisive moment.

These are both great in my opinion. I love the photo of the photographer taking a photo, they are both awesome but that's my favorite of the two. Resteemed!
