thecarwreck Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 definitely ^^, between you and 8onus there's portrait gold. how the hell do you approach people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeToys Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I haven't taken any pictures of people lately, but from past experience you can pretty much go up to anyone and ask them if you can take their picture, and they'll let you do it. If you don't want them posed, just take it anyway like 8onus said. Rarely will anyone care. If your camera equipment looks large and professional enough they usually end up thinking you're working for the paper. People used to think I was working for a magazine at one point when all I was using was a Sony F707. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarwreck Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 i guess it's just about saying 'fuck it, i'm asking this dude'... still, that's weird for me. i shoot for a paper now so maybe i can fuck with that, i'd rather use press credentials as an excuse to trespass though. ha. seriously, we need to have weekly 12oz assignments or something. pick a subject and everyone has a week to shoot and post. like art school but less expensive (and pretentious)...

Quoted post hahaha, that's exactly what I tell myself. just saying 'fuck it' worked pretty well for me. muttering those magic words built up courage when I started.

-Rage- Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm not a fan of taking photos of people I don't know. I guess I just try to respect their privacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just try to respect their privacy. Quoted post My shots of the poor and the unfortunate- I asked for consent. That way, I acknowledge them, and they me. I either walk up and ask, or I raise my camera and give a 'may I?' look. If they nod, smile, I will take a frame or 6. If they say no, then I won't. And I'll always be at the 50, 80, or 85 mm end of my lens'. I never take 200mm candids, or do it very discreetly, or take it from a moving car as I know some people do, I think it's cowardly and unethical. As for the yuppies walking down broadway or whatever, well.. fuck them, i'm narcissistic enough to believe that if i don't give a shit if i show up on someone elses film they shouldn't either. just my opinion.

TROUBLE OVER BRIDGWATER Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Looking down... When I learnt of the theme it was 7.45pm over here and dark outside, which made things interesting. By the way neither of those were 'staged', they might look like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 TROUBLE, those are good. You should have tried some long exposure 'looking down' shots. Might have had some interesting results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROUBLE OVER BRIDGWATER Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I was using a crappy digital camera that doesn't have varying shutter speeds as far as I know. It belongs to a friend, when it came out sometime back in the Neolithic period I think it was marketed at the 'point and shoot' customer. I rarely use digital... I need to get a good cheap digi SLR soon I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so used to my new(er) digital camera that I forgot what it was like to have an old piece of shit digital. I used to have one of those boxy looking Sony's that uses the 3.5" disks. Didn't have any options at all. I'm rolling with a Nikon CoolPix 8700 now. ...When I'm not lugging around like 10 Polaroid cameras though.

El Jefe Uno Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 as for the assignments or whatever, i'm on http://www.dpchallenge.com/ .. some damn good stuff on there, so i doubt ill ever win, but it does make you think of different shots that arent so cliche.. if we got enough people interested i'll set up a thread with a subject for the week (alright, so i'll probably rip it off of another site).. and we can have people vote each week.. so uh, let me know if you think this is a good idea.. and just for good measure..
