QUOTE(CasaNova™ @ Oct 13 2012, 09:04 PM) IMO there should not be rules to street photography. The picture is just a medium to convey your message, so long your context is strong; who cares what orientation it's in. Hell, many of HCB's photos are out of focus. I think your statement stems from many of the 'masters' work being in black and white, which sways us to adopting black & white. Compared to now, that was the only avenue that was available to them so it's only logical that they not adopt colour simply because they are used to black & white. I may be clutching at straws here but I don't believe in purist when it comes to any form of photography. Having said that, black & white is something else. +1 Photography including street photography should not be limited by "rules" As long as its candid and shot in public areas, that's street photography. |

Of course as a genre of photography, it must also convey a message/emotion/situation.
That itself is pretty subjective.
Why must street photography involve people ?
A shot of a still burning cigar in the street of cuba with graffiti everywhere is pretty much street photography as well.
Why must it be people you do not know ? The key is candid rather than strangers. A shot of your friend blending in with the rushour crowd without noticing you qualifies as well.
A simple shot of your wife and everyone else looking worried while she purchase some local products at a night market as a torrential rain suddenly pours pretty much qualifies for street photography
As for landscape and portrait, why must you turn your neck 90 degrees ?
In those 3 above scenarios, does shooting in portrait or landscape matters a lot? Sometimes a shot can be better shown in a portrait position.
If you set too many rules for yourself, you shoot a lot lesser and you limit your creativity.

Rotating it does crop out some distraction I did not notice before like the blue band. The pic is nearly sooc, I didn't even bother cropping haha. |

QUOTE(Lurker @ Mar 25 2014, 11:37 PM) where is Holi celebrated in KL? and how did u protect your camera from all those powders? It was actually in Singapore. No protection other than a simple UV filter. It got its fair share of colours and water as well. No, it's not a weather resistant setup (D600 with 85mm f/1.8) It's simply a risk I'm willing to take. It's as good as new though after some thorough cleaning. |
