my apologies for not getting this up and running sooner ... have been out of the loop for a bit ...
thanks to everyone for participating and voting in the last street challenge. and a big thank you to christine @inthecloud5 for hosting it. thanks to all of you who voted for my shot - street photography is way out of my comfort zone, so it was particularly delightful to win this challenge :)
here is a definition of street photography copied from the original Street Challenge post:
"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 not need to be confined to overtly urban areas - could be a beach (or an airport). Avoid heavy hdr processing, spot-colouring etc..."
if you want to give it a go but find yourself wondering, “should I ask permission before shooting strangers in public places?” then the short answer is "no". but you'll find longer and more helpful answers here:
if you are new to this genre, or a bit intimidated, street shots do not have to be close up, they can be silhouettes, or a person from a distance that shows the scale of the location, or an interesting background
this challenge will run from today, 5 february, until midnight gmt on friday 24 february 2017. entries must be taken within these dates
please tag your photos street-29
please also post your photo on this thread to keep this challenge current and to inspire others
have fun - and i look forward very much to seeing the fruits of your labours :)
