Here is my first street photography attempt. I was at the lake photographing some poles and looked up to see an interesting shape and, as is becoming more common since starting 365, I took a shot on instinct without any thought! I have a feeling his expression is a reflection of mine at the time, because it was really only after I had pressed the trigger I realised what I had done !!!
A long way to go for me with this style, but this is my line in the sand.... :D
Danae - I had downloaded the e-book, but not read it when I went out. (it is awesome & I have learnt a lot and been very inspired).
The lines are wonderful and lead right to such an interesting subject! This is fantastic! It's funny how after you've been shooting for a while you instinctively see things - the contrast of the light background and the dark subject, the lines leading up to him. A fantastic start, you should be very proud!
This is a fantastic street shot! It's quite a rush, isn't it? I can see why it can be such fun - you never know what you're going to get, as it says on that e-book. I also downloaded it and started reading it last night. Thanks so much for the link, Danae. @ukdanae
@maribelrivera thankyou for your supportive comments. I love your colourful quirky Madrid street shots! I am inspired to stretch myself a bit further when I see images such as those.
@ltodd awww, thank you, but most of those shots are not of people....and you know, buildings or shop windows don´t turn around and insult you for taking their pics,hehehehe (but I got one or two insults too...I´ll take them as war injuries, LOL)...anyway, I find street photography really estimulating...;)
@aspada thankyou kindly Amy. I had just given up trying for an abstract tulip leaf macro and I still had "search for form" ringining in my ears. It really was a 'shoot first - think later' reaction. Even if I stll can't instinctively shoot abstract, I have learnt a lot from that challenge. I can now more clearly appreciate the goals and attempt to apply them to other styles. So a sincere thankyou for being such a part of my 365 journey! :)
This is really good Lyn. Well done as I know how out of your comfort zone this would have been! I love the reflection of the bridge in the water also. Such a gorgeous day for being out and about taking photos.
@loopy12 and @ladyrazzor - thankyou, I definitely would not have considered this a possibiity before starting 365 and being inspired by so many wonderfully different photographic styles.

@nicolecampbell - thanks, I know you understand how outside my comfort zone this makes me!! And I have thoroughly checked out the legal issues. (did you know how different the legislature is between photos taken in the NSW & ACT?).
