Yup - they count. Great pic. Great colours and lines.

I like it as it is but find myself wanting to see a tiny bit more of the blue on the bottom left. The white is irritatingly close the the bottom. Of course I wouldn't make that observation unless the picture warranted such scrutiny, which this does.

You're right, of course! It makes quite a difference.

Interesting thought. The third is a fine shot.
 
Great shot. Even better (IMO) if you could have used Photoshop's perspective crop to level off the bottom so the diagonals hit the border at the same symmetrical point.
 
I like the 3rd and 5th shots the best. Question about your process. Are you taking shots quickly to be discrete and unnoticed or are you waiting in place with camera to eye for your shot?

I'm not a street photographer, but I do shoot street scenes (featuring the broader environment more than the people passing through the frame). When shooting street scenes, I wait for people to move to or away from certain places before taking my shot. In particular, I try to avoid people at the edges of my shots. Sometimes, the flow of people doesn't work and I don't take a shot. My process is not spontaneous, but I guess I'm more interested in an idealized appearance.

We all have different objectives for our photography and I'm curious how others go about and think before taking shots.

Nice shots. Is that the dreaded sensor red spot in the first? Thought that had died with the EPL2. Surprising how busy that canal is, at least at that location.

I remember really enjoying Rick Stein's TV venture along the Canal du Midi.
 
Hi,

A "slight" variation on your theme.
Are all the elements in your photo Roman? Including the walls?

If so, These guys really build to last...

Cheers,

Nice set. I particularly like the first two. The b&w shot of the circle shapes is brilliant.

Watching Ian Shive's workshop on photographing Olympic National Park caused me to spend some time revisiting my trip there last summer. I decided to practice b&w conversion on some. Comments welcome.

I like the light and shadows here. The silhouetted figures are very nice.

You didn't have the best light for these shots, but I believe the final two shots would benefit from lifting the shadows to show more details and brighten the images overall.

I do both. I'll ocasionally find a location and wait for a subject to appear in the right place. Like these...







But increasingly I just walk around with my GM1 set to silent shutter (a real advantage), lens set roughly to 12mm and hit the shutter (sequential) when instinct tells me there's something there.

I rarely hold the camera to my eye, I take most shots from waist level and take what I need in post processing. I am not in the least interested in getting horizontals straight etc, I simply like to capture a sense of dynamism. A picture to me has to be above all else, interesting.

These were all taken with the camera at waist level.

All from my garden with the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 and either 16mm or 26mm of extension tube.

Shortly after 9/11/01, twin light beams were pointed upwards, symbolizing the fallen towers and lives lost at World Trade Center. The beams originally were located at ground zero, but were moved south to a parking garage rooftop in deference to the rebuilding of the new World Trade Center.

As a photographer, I find the annual light display beautiful, yet it is a reminder of a very sad day.

I like it. It needs the human element for a sense of scale.

For the pedants in here; does it tilt to the right a tiny bit?
 
I like the first in terms of comp'n and suns rays but these shots are so difficult knowing where to pitch the contrast. I feel as good as the shot is it is a bit flat tonally.

But the 2nd shot with the distant mist is much better and I love the 4th with the rope leading the eye in and the offset positioning.
 
These are obviously a great photo opportunity. There are some very good versions out there but for me your 3rd shot brings something else to the subject. It's a brave angle and it works perfectly. As does the 4th, it has a touch of a superhero comic about it.
