My secret weapon: Photoshop :ROTFL:Jorgen,
what software are you using to create the frames around your photos?
Guy - thank you - I wasn't really out to take photos, or I probably would have had an M with me, still, as you say, if it works!I just love number 3 . Camera's are camera's and whatever works in the street is a good thing. Personally i think it has more to do with the shooters attitude and way about them that counts for 90 percent of it. Obviously the smaller camera's maybe easier to handle and not look like you are pointing a robot at someone but it really is the dude behind the camera that makes it work or not
Thank you Mike - I liked that one best as well, although I thought they looked like they were dancers.I like number 4...looks like sculpture...
Hi CarlosI've generally found that the lens has a lot to do with it. A huge camera with a small lens is less intimidating that a small camera with a huge lens. This is within DSLRs. Freud would have a field day with this.
The M8 is stealthy all by itself (not counting film M bodies) and it's retro look is very disarming. My D300 + MB-D10 with the CV 58mm is not as intimidating as when I put the 18-200 on with it zoomed out all of the way.
Guy is also correct in saying that the photog's attitude is a huge contributing factor. Acting calmly and unobtrusively keeps everyone relaxed. Personally, I think all photographers need to study ninjutsu.
Just my observation.
HI Reggie - and W E L C O M E. It's a nice calm place around here. I so rarely go into the big city that I hardly know . . and maybe it worked in my favour, but in Cambridge everyone is taking pictures at this time of year, so that certainly helps.Hi there Jonoslack, I'm a new member here but I liked them all. Just wish people were not as skittish here after 9-11, but maybe things will change.
HI RobPhoto #3 - you can't help but wonder what the gent (who looks like he's having fun) is trying to photograph: a duck?, a pretty 20 yr. old?, his wife? His expression also contrasts with the more melancholy one on the dude holding the railing down.
The photogs stance is also interesting. He may have just been reacting to seeing your camera (people always duck 6" from some reason), but the possibility that he's trying to grab a shot of some sort is more compelling ;>
Jorgen - the S3 does deliver some nice color (and clarity). Tempted by the S5 yet?
honestly, i burst out laughing when i saw these pictures!Hi there
of course, I'm well known for my street photography:ROTFL::wtf:, but an hour walking around Cambridge today gave me a shot or two - the D3 with the 24-70 is hardly a stealth camera, but it was what I had with me.
I hope these at least raise a smile
I'm very happy with the output from the S3, and yes, I'm very tempted by the S5, but it's not easy to find one here in Bangkok I do keep looking though.Jorgen - the S3 does deliver some nice color (and clarity). Tempted by the S5 yet?
Hi Jono, That is my son (8 years) in one of his "super hero" costumes that he stays in all the time. Don't know why we bother buying regular cloths for him!Hi Vivek
Thank you - and your picture of the girl with the camera is lovely - she has front teeth just like my son!
Thank you - I'm flattered, it isn't really my genre, but we live and learnhonestly, i burst out laughing when i saw these pictures!
i love them. they're quite special
Sorry to get the sex wrong - Emma knew he was a boy straight away!.Hi Jono, That is my son (8 years) in one of his "super hero" costumes that he stays in all the time. Don't know why we bother buying regular cloths for him!
