Technique Challenge 125 - People on the Street

April 30th, 2022
Thanks to @monikozi for hosting the last technique challenge. There were hardly any entrants so I think I won by default. Hopefully we will have a few more participants in this one however I think my choice of theme will scare a lot of people off. We'll see. Street photography is a genre rather than a technique however when you try to capture people in what Henri Cartier-Bresson defined as "the decisive moment" I think that qualifies as a technique. So this is your challenge, go out and about in your city or town or neighbourhood and try to capture an image of people doing something interesting as they go about their daily activities. They could be a relative, a neighbour, a friend or a complete stranger. It could even be yourself reflected in something, Vivian Maier style. Your images can be colour or black and white, they can be taken indoors or out, town or country but they must include a person. For inspiration check out Vivian Maier's gallery http://www.vivianmaier.com/

The start date for this challenge is today, April 30 and it will end on Tuesday, May 31 at midnight. All images must be taken between those dates.
