Candid Shot of an Affectionate Couple + 2 More
-
Hi I took this the other day on O’Connell St.
There’s strange shadow especially on the mans coat. I was going to higher the exposure on it but I kind of like it. Is it too distracting?
I just love the way everyone is staring at the meat with the neon sign!
This one bugs me. There’s something not right with it. Any help?
C&C please! :)
Thanks for looking! :)[/font]
3 really nice shots Mick. I especially like the middle shot…really well exposed and a nice little slice (excuse the bad pun) of urban life.
The first shot seems to have something strange going on with the lady’s face…the light looks peculiar…
Last one I think has a great mood to it…what is it about it you don’t like?
Thanks for you feedback Expresbro.
The first shot: Ther girls face looked over exposed as there was direct sunlight on her very milky face. I feathered and turned down the exposure to take the hit off it. Maybe I went too far?
The last one: Well, maybe I’m not close enough to the subject. I’m not sure the problem is fixable after. I think If I got clser I may have been able to get a more interesting shot.
Thanks again for your reply. You’ve given me a bit more confidence.
I like them all.
The first one I would suggest cropping on the left, just to remove the blurred face in the foreground. Apart from that I think it’s really nice. I don’t think there’s anything too bad about the exposure that you can’t leave it as is. Lovely shot.
And the third, I would crop again to the left, only as it seems like dead space – especially when the person is looking in the opposite direction. Otherwise it’s a nice shot, the dark shadows suit it IMHO, as it’s a really moody shot.
nice stuff :)
Thanks plainoldme!
That’s a help. I will crop they like you suggested and see if that makes a difference. I certainly think so for the 3rd one.
Thanks :)
I like the first,
though I think I’d much prefer it without the kinda obvious processing-
closer to the original might be better, using mostly global adjustments-I like the second too-
though the people outside the shop are blocking the excellent French meats-
but looks good-I’m not so keen on the third-
perhaps its that telephone booth you were using for cover-
perhaps not-All easily qualify for the Street section too-

I think the first is a cracker..it’s so natural looking and just shows that these two are really in to each other and don’t give a s**t about the rest of the world going by

I had a call from a fellow member who rose the above question with me regarding image #1. The member said it definitely was ‘an invasion of privacy’ and I think this may have been discussed on another thread… not sure, but anyone got any thoughts on the matter??

Probably a question that merits its own thread Pat, and I’m sure its been discussed before. Taking candid shots means your going to be photographing peoples own personal moments so I don’t see the difference between a shot like this or one were you are shooting a few people walking their dog or sitting on a bench or something. All of them are photographing peoples personal space or moments or whatever way you want to describe it. Not sure if intrusive would be the right term as they are making their display very publivc in anyways but I know where you’re coming from. Its definitely something I do be thinking about when doing street/candid photography (or at least trying to shoot candid photography :lol: )

I’d tend to agree – it’s not an invasion but that’s based on the knowledge I gained here. I’d like to say we have the law on our side but what exactly is the law.
?Is there a paper written, or definitive do’s/don’ts on street, people and general photography in public places that applies to the laws in this counrty? It may be useful for reference if ever tackled by an over enthusiastic member of the Gardai.

Martin posted a link to Irish photo laws in this thread https://www.photographyireland.net/viewtopic.php?t=15516. Might be worth having a copy with you.
The members argument was..”this could be a couple having an affair” and the couples real partners could see it posted here and the s**t hits the fan at home etc etc and I suppose that’s where the member is coming from with regards to the couples privacy.

PatIf its an affair then that raises all kin o other moral objections and blah blah blah but they’d be pretty flippant to be out flaunting it like that. Would be completely their fault if they were caught in my opinion because of reasons like that.
