58 Mar 20 Comment Daniel…Sign of the times. The young couple is the center of attention and counting the reflections there are actually 7 people in the image which make it work. To me, the gestures of the hands of the couple as compared to the stiff upright hand of the photographer's aide make this interesting. All body limbs of the people are intact. The sunglasses worn by the couple hide their eyes and add mystery. The fuzzy toy with a hint of red against the black square bag, all tools of the trade helps to provide a mid-ground and add to the image. So here we have an image, with foreground, mid-ground and background which takes my eye from the front to the back of the image. Well seen! Mar 23rd
58 Mar 20 Comment Jim…I like the different layers to this image- foreground, middle ground and background. Bonus point for the inclusion of the humanity (2 persons w/umbrellas) and scale in an otherwise man-made scene. The image as you explained contains all the elements of Paris, and although taken 10 years ago- the image and feel is timeless. For your consideration, I submit a B&W alternative which adds to the "classic" feel which by coincidence is the name of the bus company; have flipped the image so the "statute" faces inward instead of "out of the picture"; and excluded the lamp post. I also added some contrast to bring out more of the tonal value of the image. Mar 23rd
58 Mar 20 Comment Hassan, I like the story behind the capture of this image. The market scene and the environment are very interesting. The Turkish flag identifies the country. I like the low-down camera position and am drawn to the light and shadows. I agree with Isaac's crop although it eliminates the flag. I believe the problem of the softness lies in 1/100 shutter speed. Because "street" photography is spontaneous to some degree- I tend to use "Program" mode aiming for a shutter speed of no less than 1/250. I also shoot in "burst" mode to try to capture many images. I would be interested in how other group members shoot their images. Mar 23rd
58 Mar 20 Reply Thanks for the explanation! In this case you experimented with both a "bird's eye" view and a "worm's eye" view and got two completely unique images. As we know, despite the advances of the digital age, Photoshop et al, we cannot alter camera position in post processing.
Comparing both images, I prefer the original submission. The unusual high position provides a vantage point not normally seen. The intensity of the artist at work and his sunburn back tells how long he must have spent and he's not even finished yet! Well done, Issac!		 Mar 8th
58 Mar 20 Comment Randy you caught this image at the right time with just enough light and yet not totally dark. I too like the black small human figures of activity. Good camera position providing a symmetrical and balanced image. My only suggestion is perhaps to crop the right edge of the frame to exclude the block of white light which draws attention. Mar 6th
58 Mar 20 Reply I tried this technique once but was unable to achieve focus. Please share your secret, Isaac (apart from having a ready assistant).
