9/11 photo walk
It’s been a minute since I’ve made a post. I’ve been shooting but a lot quieter. Slowly getting off instagram and back into the real world with my photos. Yesterday I went on a photo walk with a friend starting on 57th and 5th. If I’m being honest a lot of the good situations I capture is a mix of luck and seeing what’s happening (mostly luck). There was one photo that I really loved from yesterday (as pompous as that is to say) and a few that I enjoy. As always it’s a continuous process to get better and overcome fears while taking photos. Let me know which you enjoy.
This final photo below is in my opinion the best photo I took of the day. We were walking behind these two ladies for a long time. Not necessarily for a photo but coincidence. While my friend was taking a photo I looked at them on my left and snapped this photo quickly.
It’s often scary to take photos in the street especially so if they are very close to people. I was pretty close to these two ladies here and one clearly sees me. I love the expression she made and even the activity and light in the background. A few things that would make this a better photo is if I aimed a little lower and capture more of the ladies’ bodies. Also, wait a second until the frame was clear and just them. And finally moving slightly to the left so the pole isn’t so close to the lady in green. Of course this is all hindsight but looking back these things would have made for a cleaner shot.
