Kino style anon but photos have no substance.

>>4458448
If it wasn't for the white border and op told you he shot them on his phone you wouldn't like them

i dont like them at all

tumblr mood board but not photography. this kind of vapid shit only appeals to mentally unstable women.

>>4458458
Nah, white borders are annoying. I dig his expressionist style. But he def needs substance and narrative in his photos.

>>4458461
WTF? I love mentally unstable women now?

i wonder if a street general would fly... i feel like it's just an invitation for trolls and we don't have quite enough volume of street shots to overpower them currently. in any case, stp is a weak abbreviation for such a general. just /street/ is fine imo

i like your textures, OP. compositions are a bit tight for me overall tho

>>4458507
clearly the correct abbreviation is /strep/

>>4458825
that settles it
/p/, meet /strep/

>>4458805
that's crazy! from the thumbnail i thought she was holding up a phone for a selfie

her finger on the trigger is the finishing touch

come on guys i know you can do better than this

summoning high-contrast bw street anon

round and round

up and down

through the streets of your town

>>4459358
pretty nice grab but isn't the bottom left of the pic unneeded?

>>4459388
>pretty nice grab but isn't the bottom left of the pic unneeded?

This is how it turned out; you know on the street not everything is in the right place.

>>4459396
of course. i bring it up only to discuss composition

>>4459597
Isn’t this entire pic unneeded?

Stitch phortorgaphy is the purest form of art you can create digitally.

are beaches /strep/?

I got there from a street.

This was *definitely* on a street.

>>4459991
>>4459992
These are landscape photos
>>4459996
this is product photography technically

>>4460019
>These are landscape photos
which is not mutually exclusive with street, to be clear

fresh grab

>>4460019
>this is product photography technically
no it is street. robert frank shot americans like this

>>4458402
isn't he the old irish jewyorker camera youtuber?
elephant whatever?

bump

>>4461563
Le wild Graflex appears

>>4461626
what a bizarre photo

punk

le slow board

>>4461933
How so?

>>4458392 (OP)
What did you shoot these with opie?

>>4462063
seems like you want the viewer to look at the gal facing the camera since no one else is making eye contact, but almost every composition choice distracts from her. also she has a weird, half-lidded, dazed expression. the texture of the photo is uncannily smooth.

high h i t l e r

Is anyone else short and invisible? Helps a bunch that people don't notice me, I've even 'disappeared' when I am with my friends but I've only just moved 2 meters.

>>4462170
i'm short but i don't think invisible

>>4458392 (OP)
XD

Plenty of evidence in this thread that people don't really understand what Street photography is

>>4464042
many such cases

>>4462066
cool. i like the dual shaodw from the standing person

zz

almost three weeks in, about 5 decent photos posted that aren't mine. not enough shooters here to warrant a street general it seems

tried but people here expression no bueno

>>4464413
>>4464702
get closer

consider moment

>>4461933
you go grocery shopping with your camera around your neck? based.

>>4464980
no doi!! best way to practice street is to take a camera everywhere. everyone knows this. why did you think streetfriends are so obsessed with compact kits?

>>4464413
what's the point guys
everyones just on their smartphone
there's nothing to say anymore

>>4465642
i don't need to say anything special. love of the craft is enough for me

>>4465642
I disagree.

>>4459256
this one rocks, i miss my camera so much

Don't you get in trouble for public photography in Japan? Sometimes I think I should take off my 24-105 and put on a 28mm pancake to look less discrete in Japan.
>>4465371
I miss San Fransisco...

nice shot
>>4462133
cute tubby chubster

>>4465889
>>4465898
dawg these look crazy. what are you shooting/editing on?

>>4465901
Canon t5i mated to EF 50mm 1.8f prime, edited with photoshop. Crop factor sucks.

>>4466002
i'm not talking about anything related to focal lenght. you have wild chromatic aberration on some, and your colors look a bit cooked. oversaturated perhaps, and the shadows somehow look both heavy and dull

>>4465889
Great photo, anon
>>4465888
kino
>>4465894
eh
>>4466002
Nice backpack. Looks perfect for solo Traveling

>>4458947
It moved...

>>4460375
ugh can we all just admit that candid street photography looks like shit no matter who is doing it

>>4465646
these labubu things crazy

She choses to be rude.

>>4466819
>>4466818
finally, some good frames

can't remember if already posted

>>4465894
>>4466065

Caught on-the-fly with my phone. My OM-D E-M1 Mark II was not with me, sadly.

>>4467305
always have a camera
always have a camera

>>4467275
I find this guy’s face so funny for some reason
looks a bit too stretched

>>4458507
>>4458964
>>4462066
>>4464048
>>4464825
Neat.

>>4466065
>Nice backpack. Looks perfect for solo Traveling
Do you know what it can be?

>>4458392 (OP)
I'm happy with this shot. I thought it looked very 19th-century and European, like a painting.
>>4467629
I don't like the dodged shadows but the girl's face in the mirror is cool.
>>4467495
I like the grain, the soft bars of the fence and the amber colours.
>>4467494
I don't like the framing because it cuts off the players too much, although the flaring highlight in the centre and the grain are a nice touch.
>>4467493
I don't like the sharpness even though it is technically excellent.

>>4467291
I don't like the framing because it cuts off the cars at the bottom, but the exposure is excellent and the grain is pleasant.
>>4467135
weird/10
>>4466819
I don't like this perspective
>>4466818
like a memory
I don't like the direction of the lady on the right. If only she were looking over her shoulder...
>>4466602
lol at that face

>>4466587
I like the framing and the subject but I'd like to see more brightness. I don't like the low contrast.
>>4466585
I like the subject and the framing but I don't like the high saturation and fringing.
>>4466570
>>4466573
>you... come here often?

>>4458805
Great, really good

>>4467629
Really good, haven't ever seen something like it

What do you think of this street?

>>4467780
Awesome

>>4468827
Thanks.

>>4459269
are white borders considered cheat?

>>4458392 (OP)
35mm equiv. is the GOAT street focal length. Change my mind.

>>4469087
I've been shooting with 80mm = lately and while it is tight it is doable. I also did 50mm on film and I miss it.
I prefer zooms though.

triple le back

>>4469199
Yes, it's a street, quite literally.

>>4466065
how is >>4465889 a great photo ?
>tilted
>obviously staged subjet
>uninteresting composition
>bokeh copout

it's at best a decent portrait.

>>4469231
>decent
personally i'm bewildered by this thread. almost every photo posted by someone else itt suffers from three or more of the following problems:
>no discernible composition
>illegible exposure
>eye-searing editing
>focus leads to nothing
>uneventful
>bereft of emotion
and based on the comments so far, it seems like no one notices..? it would be cool to get street photography going on this board but this showing has been rather bleak. i'm kind of hoping there' s no street thread after this one, but if it comes about, maybe i'll post some photos from established photographers plus resources just to help balance it out and guide anons along

>>4469266
Street photography is not and never has been art.

Without a veneer of nostalgia and historical interest it is all crap. All of it. Good street photography has never existed and can not exist. The moment supposed street photography becomes inherently good, it stops being street photography by definition and slips into another genre unnoticed such as abstract portraiture, documentary, new topographics, humanism, etc, and labeling it mere street photography is disrespectful to the photographer’s vision and intent.

The snap you posted would be magically appealing if it were taken 40 years ago. This is a sad fact. Street photography is about as interesting as taking photos of buildings.

>>4469266
why wait

>>4469266
I enjoyed every photo in this thread. You just sound like a pretentious faggot.

The snap you didn't post would be magically appealing if it were taken 40 years ago. This is a sad fact. Street photography is about as interesting as taking photos of buildings.

>>4469275
i don't have anything prepared yet
>>4469277
what am i pretending? i explicitly gave my complaints with the photos itt. do you disagree with them? if anyone sounds pretentious, it's you. or do you honestly feel the same looking at this >>4469220 compared to this >>4462066 (sorry to single you out anon, but it was simply the latest post)?

>>4469266
>>4469289
Yeah this fucking sucks.
>Retard: You are all retarded!
leave it to "street photography" to attract dunning kruger retards who think they don't have to try
>a genre founded by a guy who was so quantity over quality, he left thousands of undeveloped rolls and he didn't even know what was on them

Beautiful meltdown, dogfucker. Please go on.

For me personally it's a really good way to go outside and not spend any money. Human contact is a plus.

>>4469299
the people who believe that the best at anything don't fail more than those who suck are delusional

from quantity comes quality
from failing thousands (maybe millions) of times you get quality
so if you're afraid of failing then never gonna git gud

>>4469568
Arts aren't entrepreneurship, besides entrepreneurs who suck fail even more than ones who don't. Although street isn't art so there's that :^)

Dead thread?

Might post a few of my own, have been taking some street photos for some time now (but not as much as I'd like because people don't like having a random camera shoved in their face) and I've never shared my photos anywhere so I might just do that.
We'll see. Dead thread is sad tho.

>>4470267
You're welcome to do a new one.

>>4470267
image limit of 150 was reached, if you mean by dead that we stopped posting photos itt. but imo the board is kinda dead these days in general
