Default TAKE it to the STREET.

I've been looking a lot at Street Photography in different places, and have felt inspired.
I know I have a long way to go before I even feel comfortable doing it, but it's fun.

Here are the "best of" today:

Interesting shots...it's sometimes uncomfortable to take photos in public and having people stare at you wondering what you're doing....I always believe that if you look like you belong, others will believe you do...haha

Interesting shots. I'm not sure I'd even know where to start with this type of photography. Looking forward to learning from your efforts.

This can be so hard to do! I get Nervous and Sweaty and Uncomfortable!
Good for you that you are at least trying to get out and Do it!
Oh I do like your shots, looks like the lady in the 1st one was enjoying the attention.

Thanks for Sharing these
Michael

Great for you to go out and do this. Looks like you were busted on that first photo?

I like the 3rd one best - nice conversion, comp, and the woman on the phone adds a nice touch. She seems to have not even noticed you bending down to take the photo.

Thanks for the kind words.

I like the thought of capturing people without having them realize the camera is there.
That first one, actually was a good distance a way, so it may be just happenstance that
she smiled for the camera.... since the camera wasn't to my face even!


Been working off the style of Joe Wiggins a bit. Learning to take photos and composing them without looking through a viewfinder.
