Street Photography

[Thai-Mike]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_photography

Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents^[1] within public places. Although there is a difference between street and candid photography, it is usually subtle with most street photography being candid in nature and some candid photography being classifiable as street photography. Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. Though people usually feature directly, street photography might be absent of people and can be of an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic.^[2][3]

I will kick it off

Good thread, and something I enjoy when I get the time - which doesn't seem to be often nowadays! Also, I'm now working in a very quiet town with only one main street so not so many opportunities to sneak around with a camera - you very soon get known!

Thank you Thai-Mike - I was watching this pair for about 5 minutes before I took this shot; his girlfriend is looking at the coats (you can just see her feet) and this pair were having their own conversation whilst they waited for her. I was lucky - one shot, done.

I love to watch the interaction between dogs and their owners. Smashing mono image Caz.

I have had a dog, sadly he died after 14 years, and this photo reminds me of him and my first walk on a leash. I used also a long leash cos I didn't know how to lead the dog.

Not a lot you can do here to help, a high percentage of them will not work

[Thai-Mike]

Maybe not a lot I can do but at least a friendly words or not looking away. Here in Thailand there a lots of under the bridge or benches

Good strong gritty image, Mike. In my area. The police ask the public NOT to give money, as they believe it feeds their drug habits.

Garry(or anyone else with Mod access) when you look at my post can you see this little tick box in the top RHS, might be worth trying a tick in it. Just an idea
