it was really cool, and most interesting part for me was about the vehicles those people use them…I haven't seen some of them before😁
Very nice to see your different visions and…… I see fantastic photos here ! Greetz from Amsterdam 🤙
One of the most enjoyable channels on this platform, common sense, no fanboi silly crap
👍
I sure don't want anyone taking my picture without my knowing it.
I suspect I'm not alone in that.
Cartier Bresson move over.
There’s a new gun in town.
Those are wonderful! Also you manage to nail focus with shallow DOF. Are you using eye detect? What focus mode do you use?
Get over yourself, I simply love your shots. People shot in their own habitat is the ultimate wildlife photograph there is!! Saving up to get my hands on a 600mm just for downtown LA!!!
welcome to my house LATVIA !!!
In my travels to Asia and the Middle East I've always stood out as just another North American/European, so the locals just figured I was a "turista" and cut me a little cultural-ignorance slack. However, I'm disappointed in myself for not taking advantage of the situation — without crossing the "good-guest line" — to do more street photography. 📷
Leave it on 28mm, get in and mix it up with the subjects. I’ve gotten pretty good at shooting from the hip with silent shutter. Some of my fun street shots are when I get “busted” and they look directly into the lens. I used to hide more from a distance with a tele. It does take a bit of forcing out the fear of intrusion. Oh, and rain doesn’t stop me… Using a weatherproof body/lens system. 😉
I live in a tourist location and I get photographers taking candid shots of me all the time. When I look up the location where I live on IG, you will always see me in photos. It does not bother me but it would be cool if these guys would come up and get my socials. Then we can colab in the future. I workout and make an effort to look good so it would be fun. Please don't be shy, People that look good want you to take a photos of them.
Such boring digital photography, bring back film!
I love looking at street photography but I’m terrible at and largely because I don’t want to be intrusive.
So, for all the street photographers out there, thanks for the images so I can enjoy it too. 🙂
