With the exception of “Step up to the Spire”, there was some narrative to each of the photos which I liked.

Like peterako I wanted to know more.

I like the one with the boy and dog.

I assume these are not HDR but I feel there is a similar feel to the photos which takes away from the shots and makes the post-processing the first thing you notice.

Embrace the shadows.

I like #3 the best from this selection as it is a head on shot whereas the other two are of people’s backs and I don’t think these are as interesting.

#2 may have been better had you taken a couple of steps to your right to get the reflected faces of the subjects in the window.

Regarding removing the “Le”, this could have been done before you pressed the shutter button by stepping forward or to the left but in my opinion there are no correct protocols for street photography – just do what makes sense to you.

Thanks Mark – I like the idea of using the 2 vertical lines to split the image into 3 sections. What is shown here is slightly cropped from the original image so I should be able to move the lines into a better position. Thanks for the advice.

By the way, I used Silver Efex Pro 2 to process the image. That application has great film simulation modes. I didn’t use Delta but did use T-Max with some extra customization.

I keep coming back to the second one. It is nearly there with the clothes on the main guy in the middle contrasting with everyone else and also the looks from the guy on the left and the guy in the background on the right.

If the stars had aligned and the woman and the guy going through the door were not there it would have been great. But when shooting in the street, you have to take what you are giving

I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. It is really interesting and definitely worth seeing.

Of the bunch, I like the last one best. The feet at the bottom are like the “punchline” of the photo.

The others are OK and perhaps work better when taken as a whole with the full collection on your site.

I agree – great light in this shot.

1/5 sec? You have got a very steady hand.

Great photos and excellent commentary. I definitely want to visit Dubai some day.

And congrats on the engagement.

But please sir, I only checked Google to verify my answer.

Actually last year for Christmas I got “Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century” and have read it many times since. It is an awesome book (and a great exhibition if you ever get a chance to see it at a museum).

I use these apps regularly

Pocket (Formally Read It Later) – saves web articles to read later. Can strip off all of the fluff (ads, banners, links) so only the article is presented. Works offline so you can catch up on a plane for example. Also useful when reading articles that are multi paged (or RSS feeds that have a “More…” link). It will try to download the whole thing. Many other apps will integrate with Pocket.

Flipboard – I use this to read my RSS feed (connected to Google Reader). Integrates with Pocket. (Doesn’t work great on Android Tablets however).

Evernote – For saving quick temporary notes on the go. I use MS OneNote for more longer term notes (as offline access is free with OneNote)

Tripit – Travel organizer – You can email your travel plans to it and it organizes everything so its easy to find.

I think HCB had something like this with two women walking on the path below.

…runs to Google image search….
