Another shot from Bakewell. My sister says this one is not street photography but I am not sure. I saw this courtyard which only a few weeks ago would have been heaving with people sitting out in the sunshine. There was an empty eerie feel as I walked through.
For my mentoring group
Many thanks for your great shots on yesterday's street shot of Bakewell. I was very pleased with the response from you all.
@taffy@newbank@888rachel@golftragic@sullivar Not sure about this one - does it come under the heading Street Photography" Is it too pretty? Should I be looking for a more gritty feel? Should I be trying to tell a story?
That looks like a pretty courtyard. Here is a definition from the internet "Street photography is photography that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment"
I think there are as many definitions as there are images and this certainly speaks to both the human need to socialise and therefore to have places to socialise in and also to the fickle human need for warmth and thus the abandonment of such places in colder weather - that said - this is a lovely imge and the subject was created by people for people to use - ergo street photography!
