I tried street photography on easy mode tonight (busy town square at Halloween with lots of drunk people) Any tips welcome.

hahahahaha of course
Needs more clowns, oh wait; shirtless guy is Bobo.
>>2955710
Not bad, but we can't really see what he's yelling at so it's just rather random emotion
>>2955711
This is one of the nicer ones, everyone's gaze leading to the two girls is nice. The girls don't stand out that much though so the effect is somewhat lost
>>2955712
The background is a little busy, a more shallow dof could've helped here
>>2955713
Eh, I'm sure there are people that will like this more than me, but the three guys just kind of blend into the crowd visually. And their angles make us lose their facial expressions which cuts a lot from the emotional impact of the shot
>>2955715
I really like the line of people on the right and how it leads. This would be really good if the composition wasn't so muddled (too many people, not something you can't really control obvi)
>>2955716
By far and away the best shot. They're distinct from the crowd and I love the shared look of the cop and the blonde guy. The guy at the bottom's gaze leads you to the blonde guy, whose gaze leads you to the cop. It's a nice process
Don't be shy from using a lower aperture. Almost all of your shots couldve been significantly improved had the depth of field been shallower (while still focusing on your subjects ofc).
lmao is this W1 that's so banal
>>2955754
Some would say it's almost so banal that it's a good place to try street photography for the first time
But Halloween is tomorrow
>>2955751
Thanks. I think i was torn between cranking the iso too high and having so low an aperture that the dof was too narrow that people would have moved out of it before i got it. I really need to work on focusing on moving targets
you shoot all your shots from the height of your head so they are not very dramatic. Try shooting from severe high or low angles. The subject matter is interesting though.
where is this degenerate shithole?
London? Berlin?
>>2955910
The bus says piccadilly circus and the cops say Met police
meh
>>2955817
but normiefags don't drink as much on Sunday or Monday nights.
the first one looks like a punk album cover
these are ok, i like the bunny
One last bump, so should i throw away my camera or what?
>>2956545
yes
>>2956545
Nah, you got the balls to do street. You're in an area where there's fights n shit, just need to work on your composition or digipleb processing.
>>2956545
I really like 1, 3 5 and especially 6. I'd unironically like to see more
>>2955710
I would suggest to shoot on shutter priority next time
>>2957907
here are some more of mine that could be considered 'street'
last one
>>2958574
because they're shit or because they're big?
The middle one is under 1mb and i understood the rules to only apply to the rpt
>>2958591
Little from column A, little from column B.
>>2958591
sticky is for the whole board
>>2958575
i like this one a lot
