Thank you ifer!

@naimaD: if not for the legs, i'll be wondering what the heck is that. nice one

@sniper: like the dancing elderly but feel the pillar is kinda blocking

and spam another photo XD

waiting in Abell Hotel

The Thinker



This is one photo that I have to say duh !! I really love the posture of the man, but I didn't realize I caught the hand on the right. Tried a second shot but by then he noticed me already and changed his pose. Arrrrgh !!! Also so many people watching.

In street photography can you say "Encik boleh tepi sikit tak? Wa mau ambil gambar!"

Do you think the hand really distracting. Tried to crop but too much gone. Spoil the aspect ratio. This is the full frame as scanned. Very minimal pp. Auto only I think and default unsharp mask.

Or I can say that the hand gives context to the picture, telling a story, meaning there is a crowd watching the game. Lame or not?

Any additional comments appreciated. What about color balance? Ok or not?

p/s - Also a bit of scratch on the neg. Lazy to pp.

hiro, ok la... its ok to have the hand there
but i prefer my pix to have more contrast

Hiroboi: the hands are ok, I think it helps in your composition as well, at least I don't think that the focus of the photo has been ruined by the hand.

Quote from a guest speaker regarding street photography during the alpha convention:" a good street photo must be 3 layers deep" This means your foreground, subject and background must each contribute to make up a story. So I guess the hands in the pic might mean that there was another spectator looking and thinking as well (besides the 2 people there).

Just my 2 cents =]

*edit* p.s. Personally I think the patterns of the floor on the left hand side distracts me more lol!

Thank you yuhi and rx330.

Here is my second shot after he saw me and change his pose. Not so nice lorr. I tried to exclude as much as possible the people nearby, but still got Adidas!! Wat to do. So many things cannot control in street shooting.



Wah!! To fix the distracting pattern ... need 20 thousand linggit lens lorr. De blurr. Or maybe use photoshop gaussian blurr 10 times and claim its via 20 thousand linggit lens.

hahaha, wait till my pix are ready, even more distraction
no time to compose liao, just focus, whack, kakakakka
somemore using 25mm

anticipating~

me too, but very disappointing shots, shud be no keepers

@HiroBoroi: I personally like the 1st picture better. What distracts me more is the blurry red lettering on the left Maybe if you cannot exclude the guy out, then include him in. The thinker and the spectator

Yeah.. was considering cropping it. I wanted to frame it between the 2 pillars but the uncle and aunties dances surprisingly fast

Love the posture too... Maybe can frame using the crowd instead... like this

Sniper,

Nicely framed there. I also got umbrella ... but no frame one . The lady with glasses almost touching the edge of the picture . I should have pan to the right a bit. But then I saw this lady in blue on the left . Can counterbalance ? Lame reasoning ? Appreciate comments. Anyways in this encounter, I didn't take a second shot.

Aiyah ... Wont Spoil Your Hair La!
