Street photography

17 / 365
@38mm So here it is, my 'get pushed' challenge to photograph a person on the street from no more than 3 metres away. I must admit, having not done this before, it was quite a strange feeling and certainly pushed me to the edge of my comfort zone! This shot was made easier by the fact that the guy wasn't looking, and it was actually his very patient dog that caught my eye. Thank you for the challenge though Jase, I'll definitely pursue this further!

@38mm I've had to upload this via the basic uploader as I've been trying since last night and can't get it to upload the normal way so apologies for it being small. I'll try again to replace it later.

Yay, nice one :) Did you enjoy it? Heart beating at all?

@38mm Yes heart beating definitely! You'd have been more amused though if you'd seen me pacing out the 3 metres earlier in a quiet spot just to make sure how close my 'comfort zone' was! :)

@mariaswaisland Haha, one of my film cams is a range finder so I kinda think in metres now.

Hi Maria, youve been chosen as my next 'get pushed' person to challenge, I've had a look through your shots and I would like to challenge you to a 'low key' shot, any subject taken in low lighting, there are some great examples here... http://365project.org/tags/low%20key good luck : )

Great shot. I just did my first "street photography" last weekend. I felt like a peeping tom. :-) But I took the pic of a couple dancing in the street.
