RE: Bus Rides And People Watching: Street Photography B&W/Color
Hey Chrissy, very interesting to read and some nice shots - my favorite is the 3rd one :) Approaching strangers on the street can be a very rewarding experience, so kudos to you for overcoming the fear and doing it! I myself am not comfortable approaching people with my camera, that’s why I prefer taking candid shots from distance or from my hip using a manual focus lens. Have you tried to find a spot on the street that you like, think about the composition beforehand, and wait for someone interesting to pass by? :)
No I've never really done that, I kinda just bop around all over. I'll try that out. Are there certain characteristics for a spot that make it a "good spot" in your opinion?
Well, it depends :-) I am more of a minimalist style photographer, so to me, a good spot could be a place on the street that is free of clutter. Place where the subject of my photo will stand out. Another good spot could be a wall with graffiti on it - whatever it is that you find interesting.
noted! appreciate you
