Sunny Day and Snowy Night | Street Photography

Hello, photography lovers! We had our first snow this week and for good or for bad it didn't stay long. I absolutely love photographing on a snowy day but plashing on wet, muddy puddles from melting snow is not my favorite activity. It's the most beautiful thing while falling and an unwanted guest when it overstays it welcome. I mean unless you are somewhere on the mountains, skiing down the slopes.

First part of the post, I was capturing some interesting people on the streets of Belgrade, with their fashionable clothes and interesting gestures. Ever since the beginnings of street photography people with hats have always been a popular subject to shoot.

When you look at the feed of most popular street photographs you would get the impression that half of people on the streets wear hats and long overcoats. :D But in reality it's not such a common thing so when we photographers see someone with such unique clothing detail it's an automatic response to grab a photo. Sometimes it's just a simple snapshot. But it usually helps to make the image more intriguing. In a way it takes us back to beautiful, old times when this look was common.

Yesterday the rain turned into snow. I went downtown for a photo walk but by then it already stopped (the downside of living outside the city center). Too bad. I also prefer photographing during the day when it's snowing, at night some of that white magic is dimmed and altered, although it's a nice sight to see a swarm of snowflakes falling in front of the street light.

I am considering switching back to 23mm lens (35mm equivalent). Current 50mm equivalent I'm using is nice for separating the subjects from the background but I sometimes find myself too close and not having room to include more into the composition. Camera used Fuji X-Pro2.
