^ Looks more to using tilt shift effect rather than bokeh, no?

The first picture.. at the right seems neat... only the left side seems messy.. maybe if you get lower to the eye level... can give a better picture than it is. Anyway nice thinking of the tilt shift in a way

but what is the definition of aesthetic in your opinion?

and I think that guy posses for you to think that focuses on him

+1

how the heck can it be candid when ask permission? dslr is always ok 1 >.> most of us is dslr users here. *sarcasm on* Ow wait I might make it more compact * throw the lens* wow dslr are more compact than ever *sarcasm off*

Not many people are fond of BW which means color will be giving a different perspective rather than just BW

The only 1 rule that you stated, that I can understand is the "Don't be rude. Smile always." which not many people doing that, at least to what I observed lately

ahhhhhh theres a story behind this picture. Nowadays people only showing how good a picture is but never tell a story...[including me ]

and when the title match it seems theres a thousand of story behind 1 picture

I like this 1.... she is very talented indeed... and her style is so out of the box. People will usually tell how good a picture is but she is telling how good a picture is + story behind it as well.

yea.... forgot to state in the earlier post

Guess this 1 is a bit different

hhaha... kinda....

actually that is the halloween night at the Curve hahaha go to the bridges seen like a river of bokeh

lol it is up to 1 preference.... same goes to the one called "definition of a good picture".....most people think that by attracting people to see his picture is a good example of a what good picture is..... but a true good picture got something to do with emotion and something deep and art.

Like Steve Mccury's well-known picture that capture my heart..."Afghan Girl" though it seems like 1000000000x other portrait picture but what makes it special is the atmosphere and expression of the picture

have you seen a picture and while you skip it.... it will be in your mind and you kept thinking of what does that feeling gives to you?

I've watched my sifu's personal collection.... and it is hard to describe the feeling of seeing it....but theres alot of things behind those pictures

hehe and you are taking picture for people or for you? if it is for client.... then yes I will do according to them... but because of it is for hobby... I rather take picture for me and if people appreciated it like my friends that had seen my pictures, it would be bonus for me.. since that "feel" people can experience it too.

yep different people different perspective or somewhat thinking differently.... that is human... if there is 100 people doing 100 almost the same picture... then where is the originality and individuality?

and also... if people don't like my pictures, I get it because people are different.

There is a saying from a guy I idolized in photography "Love your picture no matter what it is, improve if you think you need to improve, because in the end, those pictures photograph your own unique thoughts"

it is like a first scene of a j-drama wonder when i can capture this kind of scene

huhu will xplore... it is a good world for photography... if there is no snatchers then again that is why im leaning towards compact when going outdoor alone...

lol well you must ask yourself.... what "you" want in "your photo"? people mixing thought into it? or is it about you taking a photo of what you think is cool or right.

and for me, I like to pre-visualize my own shot or imagine it then search for it then shoot. Though before I am more leaning towards PnS but now... if I were alone and were to compose my own... I would pre-visualize it first...

like some of these photos... yes I prefer taking portrait shot even-though I know that I'm on the street

Actually for street photography, it is all about how you observe the surrounding around you. It is somehow like you want to tell a story but which story are you intending to tell? or is it about the interesting things that you just saw infront of your eyes while you're on the street.

Picture quality are always on the last place for street photography. Whats important is that, what you can grasp from your walkabout.

and what I can tell you is that, no matter what kind of camera that you're using... [previously I always shoot with phone camera which is convenient to me] it is all about the story and interestingness of your photography that matters.

and i thought by now somebody from the TT session from street gathering would fill this thread with awesome pictures

Doing street, TT session and reunion with friends from high school
