Hi all.

Went out today and thought to give street photography a try for the first time. Packed the Oly 12mm and the OMD EM5 and off i went.

that this is not "street photography" as that term is conventionally understood.

Also, these are generally bad photogrpahs.

The first one actually could have been a good photo if the distracting Kleenex box and its reflection were not in the background.

Didn't you notice that before you took the photo, while you were taking the photo and later when you were posting the photo?

Don't you understand that it is a bad photo with that stuff in the background?

Really, if you don't have an understanding of basic compositional rules there is no point in owning a $1,400.00 camera.

You may as well use a $99.00 point-n-shoot.
