Street signs often work well in an image I think and this one caught my eye. http://flic.kr/p/dkQoDM

This is just something I've been trying and I think it has the potential for evolving into something interesting. Now I don't consider myself to have any artistic talent of note but street photography has begun to tap into whatever creativity my DNA will allow me to produce.  I'm also lucky enough to have an iPad and I stumbled across an application called 'Paper by FiftyThree' that is a

This is just a quick thought that I'm putting out there. For street photography all the advice you'll read suggests that you should blend in to your environment. So dress appropriately i.e. if you're somewhere 'touristy' dress like all the other tourists and if you're in a more urban environment go for 'street casual'' and don't stand out too much. This technique promises a more stealthy

I thought I’d start showing some images that I like from other photographers and try and explain why I like them. Critiquing an image is something I’m very new to so this will be a learning curve for me and I hope I can do the images some justice. I wanted to start with something by Thomas Leuthard as it was his work that first inspired me to try street photography. I could have picked from

I'll quickly remind you that you're joining me on my journey from enthusiast to veteran street photographer and we're still very near the beginning. I don't have all or even many of the answers and on the subject of editing your own work and deciding what and where to publish I have mixed feelings. From reading other blogs and articles the general consensus is that you should only publish your

So my trip to Stratford-upon-Avon had taken my street photography virginity and the question in my mind was, what's next? Of course the answer was another trip to Stratford-upon-Avon two days later, I'd told my wife Helen all about it and how enjoyable it had been, so she agreed to tag along. Checking the exif data on my images from that day, it would seem I was still using the kit lens and

'Street Snippets' are going to be short articles on technique, exercise and tips etc. The 'Big 5' is something that came to me quite early on and is inspired by the 'Big 5' animals most difficult to hunt on foot in Africa. In our more animal loving times they are also the 5 animals everyone wants to tick off their list on an African safari. My wife and I were lucky enough to manage this feat

So there were no excuses now, I knew a little of street photography and inspired by Thomas Leuthard, off to Stratford upon Avon I did go. I chose Stratford mainly because it's a touristy town and I was confident there'd be a lot of cameras about. As far as understanding the basics of photography, I was still very much in the learning stage and did not know how to set the camera up for the

Not sure how I stumbled across Thomas Leuthard, it may have been in the talk photography forum. The great thing was that he had a couple of free e-books (there are 3 now) on street photography so I downloaded them and read them a couple of times. They can be found here I've just skimmed back through the books to remind me of their content and I'd forgotten how fantastic the images were

The more I read about photography the more I realised I'd made the wrong choice to go with the Panasonic TZ-10, it's a great little camera but I convinced myself a DSLR was needed for me to really learn the basics and start capturing some decent images. I was starting to realise that photography had the potential of becoming a quite expensive hobby. So I started reading up on entry level DSLR's

Although not that long ago I can't remember what made me buy a camera and start this new hobby. Some influence may have come from my father-in-law Graham as he's a keen amateur photographer, another need was to try and record some images and video from my other pastime of mountain biking. So I looked into a camera that would suit my needs, street photography at that time not part of my

So I've decided to start a blog about my interest in street photography. I'm still in the novice stage of photography as I only started 8 months ago and street photography caught my eye almost straight away. I stumbled across some free e-books by Thomas Leuthard that can be found here and after reading them I just knew it was something I'd like to try. So this blog will detail my experiences
