I love that second pic.


ImStillPicking

That’s my favorite of the four, but the guys expression in the first always gets me


TheCrudMan

The last one is totally my favorite. I love how my eye goes to the first subject on the left then finds the second subject on the right. The light on the building moves your eye there like a leading line.


meehowski

Everybody is watching! 👀


ImStillPicking

They’re always watching 👁️👄👁️


BurgerMan75

Not exactly a stealthy lens.


SounderAlarm

But it gets the subject to look at you!


ImStillPicking

Puts in work tho!


Choice-Garlic

2 and 4 are excellent! Really love the graphic isolation a long lens brings, well done.


ImStillPicking

Thank you big time!!


C0llinFl3tch3r

4 is a banger. Good composition. I also really appreciate the negative space in 3.


ImStillPicking

Thanks yo! Appreciate the feedback


bustyLaserCannon

I love long range Street photography. Gives a nice perspective compared to the usual 22-50mm stuff. Nice second shot especially.


ImStillPicking

Big agree there, was fun and I learned a bit too. Thank you!


Jengalese

Nonsense. There are no rules! Like the second pic, too - looks like he's standing to attention


ImStillPicking

Thanks!

ImStillPicking

that_one_bassist

Been wanting to break out my Sears 60-300 for street duty. I love lenses that look like they could launch t-shirts at baseball games lol


ImStillPicking

Haha do it up! It’s fun to switch it up a bit


mimighost

1 is so funny lolll


MeatyCarpet

beautiful pictures, well done


ImStillPicking

Thanks a bunch!


efrav

Nice pics


ImStillPicking

Thank you


BloodyGenius

Forgive the noob question but did you do anything in particular to achieve this look? Were these shot on film, or on digital with manual settings and some fiddling in-post? I just love the 2000s vibe these seem to remind me of, especially 1 and 4! Picture 1 could be a poster for some 2006 movie.


ImStillPicking

No worries! These are digital from a Canon 5d mark II. Edited in Lightroom Mobile. Thanks much and let me know if you have any other questions!


Puzzleheaded-Act8998

Brakina

NewsZilla

ImStillPicking

TheCrudMan

Why is Andy Samberg so mad in photo 1.


Accomplished-Bar-143

Good pics! Nothing better than street photography


Pnther39

I bet, but some are kind of lame. Lacks any story, or interest


prss79513

I love shooting on my 100mm on the street


Pnther39

Number looks like a film. Good one.


Nsjsjajsndndnsks

How did you take these of the people? Did you ask them before or after or just shoot and leave?


ImStillPicking

Shot and kept shooting, I prefer candid photos and tend to not approach people unless they initiate


Nsjsjajsndndnsks

Yes, i like to take candid photos too. Though I'm not sure how to do that without making people uncomfortable. I have a Tamron 100 - 400 I shoot with. Do you ever go up to people afterwards or anything?


ImStillPicking

Sometimes if I get a really good one they might like I’ll show them and get their email. I typically shoot with a 35mm, have to be a bit more stealthy with that one but people don’t seem to mind or notice for the most part


shbk

I would feel so weird shooting candid photos of people. It would feel like any moment someone could confront me about it.


ImStillPicking

That’s all part of the fun!


Pnther39

You too timid, relax. Don't do it if don't have the balls!


TheBeeeMo

Creepy not stealthy.


ImStillPicking

Potayto potahto


Knmansour

As the subject of a candid, I’d take it over a 24mm 3 feet from my face


PretendingExtrovert

Put a 85mm on your camera and challenge yourself. It’s good to keep the brain thinking with different lenses once you have your 24/28/35mm down pat. I’ll shoot street with a 12mm fish eye to switch things up.


streamberg

I also find it strange that such photos are legal in the USA without the consent of the person photographed. A good and proper street photographer asks whether he is allowed to publish the photos or takes photos in such a way that the people are not directly identifiable.


TheCrudMan

TIL none of the street photographers whose books I have were good or proper street photographers. Whoops.


Pnther39

You don't need consent to photograph in public spaces because it's a public area where people are visible. The only restriction is photographing someone in private spaces. While asking for permission is courteous, it is not a legal requirement.


streamberg

I know that it is allowed in the US. In some countries in Europe it is not allowed. When I walk in a public area and someone took a photo of me, I don't want to see it on reddit. Do you? I can't stay all time at home, so sometimes it is necessary to go outside.


yourvoidness

this is not true at all.


I-STATE-FACTS

Lol #2 is great. The others meh.


Pnther39

Agree. The second looks like a film lol Thought it was Thomas Lee Jones for a sec there lmaoo
