street challenge 16 starts today

January 31st, 2016
A huge thank you to @gozoinklings for hosting "Street Challenge 15". I'm honoured to host the 16th edition of street challenge.

The challenge will start Sunday 31st January and last until Sunday 14th February - entries must be taken within these dates - tag your shots street-16.

Here is a definition of street photography copied from the original Street Challenge post. (although I wouldn't worry about it too much... the spirit is important and let the viewers decide if it's a street photography or not).

Catching a fleeting moment WHERE THE PRIMARY SUBJECT IS PEOPLE, doing what people do, being what people are and which moves the viewer in some way.
Street photography is often B&W, but not exclusively or necessarily so. Contains a human presence & element even if it is architecturally inclined. Often defined as "Unposed scenes in public places": so, no street portraiture where the subject is posing - although they may catch you & look into the camera! It does need to be confined to overtly urban areas - could be a beach. Avoid heavy hdr processing, spot-colouring etc...


Please don't for get to tag your shots with "street-16".
