Street Shots in India

Recommended Posts

Here some street shots I took during my bicycle journey in the Indian Himalaya: 

 

The photos were taken with my X-T1. I really learned to love the flip screen for candid street shots. Unfortunately the 55-200 is way too slow for nearly everything that is faster than a snail, so some nice pictures were out of focus...

 

 

Unfortunately you can not ad more than 500 KB to one post.... So because of this there are only 2 pics for the first time...

 

Greetings

Hi again,

 

is there an easy method to post several pics at once? It's pretty time consuming to export each picture several times because each shot comes out of "Aperture 3" in different sizes every time.

And the last one for today.

ISO 3200 - pretty clean low-noise result even on the big screen.

And I like the two blue spots together with the greenish wall...

Some of them i really like!

 

And i try to look at them as if there was no "water mark" ... but it IS hard ..

 

Hi,

Thanx a lot!

Are the watermarks really that bad....? I just feel better protecting the pictures a little bit.

Great work! Particularly the last four shots.  And yes, the watermarks are that bad, the last shot in colour being the most visible.  

 

 

O.k., you're right...!

Is this better?

I like #4 when i crop it right under the fire. (it also works without the fire.)

 

On #9 probably closing the aperture would habe been more interesting?

Again on #13 the out of focus person disturbs (me), but the setting ("<- Nirvana") would have been a great frame!

 

... and ... if you allow.

For me the "descriptions" are not necessary, a title would be sufficient.

 

(as usual only imho)

Hi,

thanx for feedback!

 

#9: Closing the aperture was not possible due to the 55-00mm which is not the fastest lens around. Now I've got the 50-140mm which is optically incredible but a brick in my bicycle backpack and draws much more attention... But like always: you can not have everything in one single package (in German we call it the "Egg producing-wool-milk-pig") but the AF is so much better and in terms of sharpness that lens is just out of space!

 

#4: it was exactly the blue dustbin, that drew my attention because it corresponded so well with the flames of the cheese makers oven. Of course it's just an ugly dustbin but it's part of the scene and isn't that what street photography is all about? Without the bin it would be just a nice portrait but the trashcan adds something authentic. But that's just my interpretation...

 

#13: Thank you very much!!! I had a look at the original picture once again and saw, that there is quite a much better framing possibility... Sometimes one is just blind. I think now it's much better. 

 

Greetings

Hi Harlem,

give them another try - I just changed the watermarks and made them less ugly. 

Better now?

 

Why do people put watermarks?

 

It doesn't prevent anybody from "stealing it" if they really wanted that (highly doubtful, especially flower pictures), copyright does. A watermark is not a copyright it has absolutely no value.

 

It however prevents people who would be tempted to, to print or share you picture, making you a little bit more known in the process.

 

A terrible idea really.
