After spending two months travelling, it's taking some time to process the shots. Here's the latest batch... #1 https://flic.kr/p/sn7f6L - Old friends https://flic.kr/p/sn7f6L">  #2 https://flic.kr/p/s7NSpQ - Salamanca, Spain https://flic.kr/p/s7NSpQ">  #3 https://flic.kr/p/sq4CVr - London tube station https://flic.kr/p/sq4CVr">  The last shot used a (borrowed) Samyang 8mm fish-eye. The others used my Sony 18-135. All were taken on my A58. C&C always appreciated.

If I may use my standard intro phrase of "I often don't 'get' street photography", I must say Willem's pic is one of the best pics I've seen in a while. Is there a rule that street photography must be black and white? Willem's is nearly B&W but obviously not selective colour, merely lacking in colour apart from the important bits (hands, cups). ------------- Want to know more about https://www.dyxum.com/DFORUM/one-of-us-68-fred-s_topic139251_post1641244.html#1641244 - Fred_S ?

Agree! Excellent shot, it has a message, it´s happening around us as we speak and everyone can relate to this. It´s not exploiting anyone since the beggars face is not visible. Way to many "street shots" are just people that happened to walk infront of a camera, not a thought, nothing interesting just a random shot out in the crowd of people. ------------- http://www.flickr.com/photos/maffe - Flickr |

Thank you all for the complements I am a little bit confused, I saw it the most expensive street in Germany Dusseldorf. The Koningsallee. And with my new lens FE 70-200 lens one hour old, I saw the man and go also sitting on the ground. People looking at me, but I want a shot at the same height as the arm. He could not see me, I saw only his arm and that was good enough for me. And saw the man in the suit also coming. I made a similar one before with the meeting at Utrecht 22-02-2015 also no face. But means not so much for me as the other one. The color yellow. https://flic.kr/p/riqNos">  Kind regards Willem. ------------- All ways in a good mood here. |

Made, I think you put into words just exactly my feeling about many street photos. As a layman in this department, I'm only ever moved by pics that really really tell a story or show a "particular" defining moment. Btw, I almost never take photos of strangers and often don't take pics at all where there are strangers around.  Willem, it is good to hear some background to the photo and I remember the other picture well (I think it made it into a weekly exhibition). Do you have an account with Getty? I think these sorts of photos could sell again and again... ------------- Want to know more about https://www.dyxum.com/DFORUM/one-of-us-68-fred-s_topic139251_post1641244.html#1641244 - Fred_S ?

My definition of street photography: I don't know what it is, but I'll tell you when I see it!  I think Willem's is an interesting case because it doesn't have the classic trappings of the successful street photo: semi-wide angle to give a sense of location, most everything in focus, b&w... but it does have the one thing it needs to have: a story, one that is easy to relate to in a well-composed photo. And that's it! ------------- I detest bugs, especially spiders. |

I'm enjoying your sets, KoBra, for me they fit the genre of true street shots. Sometimes they are more documentary in nature, as if to say: "I saw something that caught my eye, let me document that through a photo." Nothing wrong with that. For instance the last shot, while not necessarily telling a story per se, is still an interesting shot, well composed, and you look at the guy in that window and wonder quite what the heck he is doing. ------------- I detest bugs, especially spiders. |

Thanks for the kind words Brian. Your remark about the documentary style is spot on, that's how I was taught by http://www.robertmulder.nl/ - Robert Mulder a journalist, who has been around the globe, during his classes. Street photography is very diverse and has a different meaning to people, but for me, being there, be a part of it is essential. Being out there, talking to strangers (but not always), seeing remarkable things, I just love it. It takes me away, giving me the feeling I'm free. |

@Dodge I actually quite like Dave Mason's style, but contrarywise understand why you don't & at first I assumed it was a cultural thing, thinking you were American (because of the name, sorry !) but clearly you're not, but I do think the English/British (usually) like the slightly odd in life & Mr Mason's pics are just that. On the other hand & here I'm confused I think the examples you have chosen are excellent so what next ?? Willem's pics hit the nail on the head for me. Does that help ? I think "street photos" are very much a matter of personal taste, maybe ?? Yours confusedly RT ------------- So many wines, so little time...... |

Hey Richard! Naa, Dodge is a lifelong nickname that started when I was 11 (Roger the Dodger from the Beano). My problem with Dave Mason's pics is that he seems incapeable of sorting the keepers from the rubbish like the rest of us inevitably have to. I agree, it is very much personal taste but I've really tried to find a redeeming feature in his work and I just can't. Willem's pics on the other hand are fantastic. They portray a meaning or message about society around us. If he had been using a model to do it they couldn't have been any more striking or thought provoking or suggestive. He's found drama in the world around him and portrayed it in a way that isn't obvious, adding yet more interest. Most importantly (Please excuse the caps, but I think this is the key to street photography): THE VIEWER FEELS SOMETHING: IS MOVED IN SOME WAY, FOR HAVING SEEN THE PICTURE! I imagine that Dave Mason on the other hand, if he had been faced with the same scene would have produced a snap that just happened to have a beggar in it as well as everything else. It's so easy, as someone else said (not about Dave Mason directly, but he is a perfect example), just pictures of any strangers that happen to be around at the time. If they happen to be dressed as clowns or leather bikers with their arses hanging out of their chaps, all the better! Even less need to be creative or think! You do like it though, so it has to be subjective. To me though, anything that he finds that is eclectic or unusual, he manages to make it look boring and amateurish. There are photographic rules and yes, of course they are made to be broken, but randomly shooting like you are completely oblivious of them really isn't a style. It's just walking around going "Ooh that's mildly interesting" *Snap* "Ooh that's a bit random" *Snap* "Ooh, nothing interesting here" *Snap* I'm sure there are some great pictures on his site and flickr, but to me, he has more often than not missed them. This to me is a perfect example https://www.flickr.com/photos/81232047@N00/21400651428 - HERE What an amazing, thought provoking, street picture that could have been (Needing no explaination, to make us wonder about the subject). The guy was even posing for him and it still looks like an average snap at best. I dunno, maybe that's the point I'm missing.  What worries me the most is that this is becoming acceptable as street photography because they have a talent for marketing themselves, whilst other, actually talented street photographers go by unnoticed. I'm ranting again aren't I? Maybe a Dave Mason Dyxum Challenge one month! We could even invite him to join in! Maybe have a special https://www.flickr.com/photos/81232047@N00/21563352258 - Oops, pressed the shutter release by accident again! trophy!
