Post by: Jack3559 on 10 July 2013, 12:07
Congrats to TheRaven on winning the June competition.

Also, congratulations to everyone else who participated, there were some really strong entries this month.

This months theme is street photography (people).

True. Thanks.

Dunno if anyone saw this on BBC last week, but Vivian Maier took hundreds of thousands of street photos, really good ones, but they were never seen by the public till she died. Now they are worth thousands of dollars each.
Worth watching for some "Street Photography" inspiration.
BBC iPlayer - imagine.. Vivian Maier (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0366jd5/imagine..._Summer_2013_Vivian_Maier_Who_Took_Nannys_Pictures/)
Also remember this was decades before the term "street photography" came about and she was using a film camera, just taking one shot (nailing it too) and moving on.

H'mmmm - this is going to be a toughie.

Mate of mine pretty much only does street shooting and shoots exclusively on film, using a Leica rangefinder:

Here is my effort, candid Street Photography is something I have always loved and admired but never done, hence this topic! Though it would force me out! Anyhoo...

Can I change mine to this?


Change it if you want, but delete the first one from the thread, so it's clear which one is your entry.
It was your choice of subject, does this new one fit with what you envisaged?

Is it someone you don't know, caught on the street?  Title suggests someone you know.
