My Travel Street Photography.

Many time I travel I have  tried to take quick picture with my DSLR but generally it is like pulling out a gun..everyone started to runs heheee..well, like I say a photographer must have at least one compact P&S camera .A point-and-shoot is still a camera. Just because someone has an expensive camera doesn’t mean that they’re a good photographer so I remind myself next time I travel I go with P&S..Anyway most of my pictures below is shot with my old Olympus E420 and kit lens..I am not shooting the pictures for purpose of selling them….just using them to tell a story..

FIND GROUP GATHERINGS

If you see a group of people congregating for whatever reason, this is a good chance to mix with the crowd and get up close for some candids. Gatherings can take many forms:  protests, rallies, parades, etc.

NAP time.. Photography is more than simply taking photos, it is a philosophy of life

DISCLAIMER: I’m not suggesting that anything and everything is either legal or moral in street photography situations. Know the laws and use your best judgment. For further reading on the subject, see this Wikipedia article on Street Photography.

If you’re going to take candid photos of people on the streets, be prepared to get caught. Also be prepared for anything from a friendly conversation to unfriendly confrontation to physical assault. All I’m saying is be mindful.

But for those who are into street or candid photography, I strongly urge you to start your own blogs to tell your story and share these photos- rather than hiding these beautiful pieces and only sharing with your Facebook friends (who may not know how to fully appreciate your works of art). It’s really wonderful to share your talents and you would attract like minded friends from all over the world who share your interest. Through photography, everyone speaks the same language

Photos are always more interesting with the human element included.

Candid street photography, or candid portraits, can be some of the most interesting photos captured in everyday places. Heading out into the crowd with a camera is exhilarating and intimidating at the same time. Great photographic scenes play out on the streets right before your very eyes, but people are quick to recognize the camera and ruin the opportunity. Being covert without being creepy — it’s all part of the game we call street photography.
How to Get Started with Street Photography
So if any of you guys are interested in street photography, the question might be on your mind: “Where do I start?”
Well, for starters you need a camera. The most important step is actually going out and taking photos . If you are new to photography, all you might have is a point-and-shoot (a regular digital camera). This is great when it comes to street photography, because street photography doesn’t require extremely complicated nor expensive gear. A point and shoot can actually be better than DSLRs in many ways because of the discrete body and almost silent shutter. If you have a DSLR or anything else that’s great.
