Streets Street Pictures

Stevizzy · 11-15-2012, 06:59 PM

Just a couple of Street Musicians having fun. My first attempt with post processing to eliminate reflections in the glass behind these guys. I used Aperture just to experiment with this picture. I had to crop it on the left because of someone standing there, so I couldn't get the whole "plastic jar of rice 'marimba' thing" the kid was shaking.

Another favorite street scene I stumbled upon walking around Amsterdam with a pocket camera. I wish I had my K-5 then for this picture.

Another picture with a pocket camera.....they're sure handy for spontaneous street scenes. This gal in Amsterdam saw me taking her picture, so she grabbed her camera to take a shot of me. We chatted afterwards, over a pint.

The guy on the left is pretty distracting. I would try to make it an image of just the guy on the right.

^^^ How would you crop the Guitar Case? I agree, the guy on the left looks like he's somewhere else....LOL!

Timing is EVERYTHING! The guy on the left should be looking into the image. Otherwise he is a distraction.
The flowers are nice, but DoF is too deep and the BG distracts
The shot of the cafe has just too much in it with no sense of subject. You can crop on a group and see which works best.

Regards,
