Welcome to the
POTN G-Series Speed Challenge # 24
Street Candids
I was hoping to get help (mods) to change the # 23 to # 24 in the subject line for this competition
*(see url below)
but no luck.... so far
* http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=86636
some may hate this choice
some may love it.
maybe shots of people
not posing or just sitting calmly enjoying the sunshine like snaps of family and friends
not that kind.
showing a kind of everyday action. busy people, out there , on the run
in the cities, in the streets.
everyone has a street . everyone is out there at some time
going about their business.
some feel it's an intrusion in peoples lives to shoot this kind of shot
I disagree.
if a photo is taken with respect and discretion and 'not in anyone's face' it's a capture for history
no intrusion please to the person at the time of taking the picture,
if at all possible capture them unawares
(if you think they will be offended leave it, the prize is not worth it )
but showing a part of a person's busy schedule , their minds occupied with what they are going about, can be interesting.
we all are like it
doing normal things
but it's only in a photo we have time to stop and stare
it's not against the law.
in someways it's a compliment that we like to capture the action
it is in public anyway where we are all open to anything, anyday, and anyone taking shots of us
(god forbid)
it won't be easy
I will be watching for an 'alive' feeling in the shots
I know the people will be alive
but shots have to show their real 'aliveness'
just to say
we leave our pictures behind us when we pass on (eventually )
future generations will love to see how lives took shape in this day and age, right now.
dress, actions ,surroundings in our town/ city, wherever
to see a little of what's going on in this context, in your view, would be nice for the contest
I hope all goes well.
any objections
say it now or ..........
:)
~ let's go
and thanks
