RE: Attempts at Street Photography
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Even though it isn't your thing, I think you captured these moments well. Infact, it reminds me to capture some of these moments myself, even just to enjoy looking back.
Do you ever get that feeling where, when you look at other people's photos, they make you wanna visit? Thats me right now!

I think it is just harder to go into digital photography too having started off with film format first. That feeling with film that you should be a bit more conservative with how much you shoot, making each shot count and not really having much room for testing things out, especially when you can't see how it'll turn out in real time and have to wait. I definitely feel that had an impact on going into something like street photography, not quite sure what to do, and not quite feeling that connected to the subjects.
Busy areas like central London can be quite uncomfortable to shoot in too. You get those two sides of people where they either don't care that a camera is around, or immediately get quite hostile even if you aren't capturing them.
That's actually what got me into photography in the first place! I'd see 35mm film photographs from around the world, seeing the colour and emotion within them, and I found it very cinematic. Especially with the interest I have in cinema. It made me really want to take my own photographs and share them around.
