La Cosa Nostra Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 How are you all about taking photos in public? I always feel somewhat embarrassed and shit. I never want to carry around my rather large tripod and shit, especially in some areas of the city. What about photographing people? Candid? Ask for permission?

Ask for permission? Quoted post once more. Quoted post Now you see it, now you don't. Quoted post [/b] i carry a d70 with me, and a lot of times, i'll have the 80-200, it's a monster of a lens, and you just can't do discreet with it. most of my people shots i take are with the 80mm end, so i'll only be a few feet away from them. other times, i'll be using the 50 or the wide end of my 17-70 and i'll have to get close. well, they do notice. if you act like you shoot pictures of people all the time, they really won't mind. i've shot hundreds of people just on the street and i havn't gotten anyone to complain in like a year. (there was this one time there was this chess bum that looked interesting, but he didn't want his picture taken, so i didn't. his friends were equally interesting and i shot them to death). I do get different reactions though, some people smile, some scowl, some just look away. whatever happens though, i give them a smile and a wave and i'll be on my way. i've never asked permission so... yeah.

(meaning, it is an original gangster meaning it is untouched.) (and i'm sorry. i say stuff like OG for no reason all the time. forshizzle, i'm asian.) Speaking of OG..... yo, that's plays... tape.

GnomeToys Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 On the subject of cropping, I shoot digital and don't crop anything, unless I'm doing a pano or I'm just taking a picture of a squirrel or something I don't have the lens range for, then I'll crop that out and post it original sized for clarity. Here are a few from today: And some stitched panos from this week: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photoflashfocusrecord Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 those polaroids are awesome, Ckit. i think the 1st and fourth would look really good as a diptych, and the 5th is fire. what cameras are you using? a 600 and a spectra?

Ask for permission? Quoted post if you've seen my shit you know i get real close up to some real mother fuckers. i dont use a zoom lens besides the stock one that came on my rebel. to me its worth the risk, i have had bottles thrown at me, been chased with knives, guns, trash cans. its all good. i rarley ever ask for permission, i want to get pictures of people being people, not people being photographed, if that makes any sense. as far as being embarased/scared, i am 6 foot tall, 230 lbs of jackedness and i have tattos, usually the subject is the one scared of me. CKIT: those poloroids are the best fucking photos on this page......until now HAHAHAHA posted these in the protest thread in ch zero, got new shit on the way, just need to scan all my negs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
