Post your best Street Shots

[ahab1372]

Surprised this thread didn't get started sooner. I don't do much street photography either but Ill add one here just to help get things going

Nick,
I really like this one. A lot of positivity/happiness in this shot.

Photographers being photographed while photographing each other - would have been too good if there had been another photographer taking a picture of you.
Nice shots, I really like the first one. Interesting framing.

I've been experimenting some with street photography and came up with some yesterday that I thought were interesting:

First, a cowboy and a carriage ride horse.

Second, and now this is where it gets bizarre, we have the horse, a prom couple getting their picture in front of the horse, a cowboy eating a banana, and all of the street traffic. Strange.

Great shots Guys.

I like the first one, would've been tempted to go with a tighter crop on the cowboy and the horse's head, because I think the red around each draws them together quite nicely.

The second, I love the street sign pointing at the cowboy and his banana, please tell me he drew it from a holster?

Image quality is definitely not great, but I still like it. It makes me wonder what was on her mind on the commute home.

taken with iPhone 4 through the train window, cropped to 1.1MP - Should I even post this or is it useless?

When it comes to street shots, as long as the image works I don't think quality matters much if at all.

I mean, focus has to be in the right place to attract the eye to the appropriate part of the image, and it needs to be sharp enough for the eye to work out what it is, but other than that it matters little.

I'll add this shot to the argument:



Really high ISO, loads of noise. Whole shot is blurry EXCEPT for the one important part.
