First attempt at street

fingerz · 08-09-2005, 01:36

Took the camera out on the streets of London today trying to get some candid street stuff. It was my first real outing and I think I've got a lot to learn (getting closer, for one) but I did manage to witness a fight and wander into a Latin American march in aid of Jean Charles de Menezes. Here's the pics:

I like numbers 5 and 7, 7 works well in B&W with the guy on the right watching on smiling/laughing at the other two lol

busterboy · 08-09-2005, 09:56

What were they fighting over.. :lol:

ChrisB · 08-09-2005, 10:02

LOL... they don't look like they are fighting, more like dancing! :lol:

Chris.

No 7 is a good 'un - opportunistic and capturing all the action complete with bystander laughing. I'd be tempted to crop the pic so the area to the right of the guy on the left was gone.

Nope definately fighting. The first picture of them, the guy on the left is clearly pleading his case with the officer, pointing to the woman on the right. The second one she is pulling something from him I think.

I *think* that the two pictures of them are in reverse order (timewise).
The copper turning up in the first one is nowhere to be seen in the second, and also the group of staff that has convened in the first one, has disappeared in the second (B&W) shot.

Yeah they're out of chronological order.

They were fighting over the bag, I think. It was the woman that called the officer over. Went on for about two minutes before the police came.

Well done Jamey - about time too.

SammyC · 08-09-2005, 10:42

Straighten and make portrait + crop to the people the first one. I would like to see what it looks like.

Maybe in B&W too.

I know. I blame my rota pattern. That's my story, anyway.

As for the straighten/portrait idea... Feel free to have a stab if you like but I prefer the depth in the way it is now. It's nowhere near sharp enough to work as a portrait IMO.

Try cropping the cop pic (No4) to a pano.

SammyC · 08-09-2005, 13:48

You got a link to a full sized one there Jamey?

SammyC · 08-09-2005, 14:10

I like it, or is it just the girl in the foreground that I like.... she has certain charms about her....:naughty:

Yeah and it aint the torn jeans.. :naughty: ....

Still prefer the original but feel free to experiment. Not got any links to hi-res ones handy at the mo. If I get time, and the demand's there, I'll do some tomorrow.

SammyC · 08-09-2005, 18:03

No worries dude, worth a try.

Matty · 08-09-2005, 18:17

good set jamey, i really like the scrap, perfect timing!

milou · 08-09-2005, 19:39

Aye, a great set of photos Jamey; really like the long shadows in the second one.

Gandhi · 08-09-2005, 20:39

Thats a woman fighting?

I thought it was 2 blokes LOL!!!

Good shots though. Is it just me or are some of them a bit dark? I thought I had my gamma sorted now!
