Thank you to Chris, Thomas and Andreas for the invite to Germany ....their incredible generosity was heart warming
It was an absolute pleasure to meet and spend time with everyone on the trip. Special mention to my room-mate frank, who I had a holiday bromance with :)
I intend to share some images here from my one day in FRANKFURT
Cheers

#LoveCity
-
This is lovely.
(a shame about the label on the right but even so - lovely)
-
Nice b/w with good contrast. Crop on the right hand side up to the vertical window frame to get rid of the label and the tall buildings.
-
Good images can become even better by including small "imperfections". We need a feeling of being alive rather than being perfect. Life itself is far from perfect.
-
Lew, Long time no see, great to see you here.
Thank you both for your comments, but I politely disagree. The sticker says don't touch (or similar) and absolutely makes the shot for me.
Cheers

Hello Bjørn,
My last post crossed with yours .....I agree but in this instance I saw and wanted the sticker in the frame

Bez,
This is a wonderful image as is. The environment makes the image!
-
Hello Bill,
Thank you for the comment, it is satisfying you see the image as I do.
Cheers
Bez

Very nice , like a movie scene !

Hello Armando,
Thank you ....it is great to see you here

I have come back to this shot several times and each time, my vision remains the same. The frames within frames, the unbalanced foreground, and the kiss- and then I look immediately to the right, and there it is. It simply makes my heart dance a bit.
-
Nicely done. This just shouts romance and real and all the things we felt when we were young. Thank you for sharing.
-
It is forum nature to give personal opinions. One can pull any image apart and comment on how "we" would have done it. And often that would make the image "better" - technically and aesthetically perfect. But we don't shoot perfect, we shoot with more of an emotional eye. And we have artistic license.
My comment would be that the couple is too centred. Is my comment even valuable here? probably not.
I know you are not going to shoot that scene again - but perhaps next time you might think of all the comments here - and remember those you found had some merit. This is how I try to get better, and I sure as hell can use all the help I get :P
I like the image, it really is romantic. Nice contrast.
-
i like it as it is - they are in their own world and nothing around can disturb them,
the warning sticker is a welcome underlining of the scene
-
I have a comment which has nothing, and at the same time, everything to do with the image and comment stream.
It is a great feeling to be back in a circumstance where people are civil, knowledgeable and forthright about their opinions and there is no hint of underlying attitude.
I have missed this very much and, although my work is clearly in the lowest quartile of those posting here, I am so happy to be here.

Hmm,
you must have shot this before we met right? Don't remember a place like this on the day in FFM.

Rick,
So glad you are here ...you are a great inspiration to my photography, your thoughtful comments are always helpful.

Elsa,
I have missed you, lovely to be able to chat again ....the image is in the "Critique" section to be pulled apart. I learn from all comments good or bad. I agree or disagree but consider all the advise given.

Thomas,
Thank you for the comment ....but for you I would not of been there to get the shot!

It was the restaurant/cafe on top of the store with the rooftop view.

Beautifully observed, Bez, I was trying to capture the view and you were making art.
I agree with your placing of the couple and with the sign, but, hey, that's just me.

Super nice series!
Some high level street shooting!
Looks like you had a lot of fun that day :)
Not so close and water gun :) :) :)
-
So many great shots, Bez. Just a few annotations to some favorites:
woman with dog on a balcony without railing. Very improbable. Very worth taking
man sleeping by the river bank: This shows how secure this city is. You can sleep in public without fear for your life. Pure Trust.
Distinguished lady in front of Beer garden. What a personality shown here!
lower class couple discussing in the pedestrian zone. Great study of style and relation
monks on escalator. funny by cultural contrast.
Thank You. Looking forward to seeing you in person ASAP
-
Listen - if you had moved a tad - there would be no pole growing out of the guy's head :)
Stride - had you waited a tad - the other person would not be directly under your subject :)
really lovely shots BEZ !!

Eric, Thank you for the kind comments .....yes Frankfurt was enjoyable, I felt right at home there. It is unfortunate you never made the trip!
Frank, Thank you for taking the time to comment on so many of the images, your thoughts are very enlightening. I do look forward to meeting up again, in the real world.
Elsa, I am listening ....yes the pole, no excuse I should of spotted it, but I like the body language. Stride, funny I ran into position and waited until the other gent merged into my main subject, for me that is the shot (for what it is worth).
Thank you for looking back in on the thread, I do appreciate it.
Sorry I have been so slow to reply I've been very busy.
I have a few more to post to finish the set ....apart from maybe #LoveCity I realise these images are just "snapshots" but I like snapshots. Although I do have to remember how to resize D800 images for the web, these all look dreadful here!
Cheers

You surely know how to do this stuff, Bez.
I can - maybe - shoot the occasional street scene, although at a lower level of competence. However, due to the severe restrictions laid upon the use of such photos in my country, it is a waste of time in my case. Still fortunate enough to enjoy these images here on NG.

Hello Bjørn,
Thank you for the kind words ....they are of limited use in England also, but I have strolled the streets with my camera since I was 13 for my own pleasure. These images are holiday snapshots, I would hope to return to Frankfurt with the knowledge gained for more considered images.
I have been fortunate to find your posted images, as they have had a big influence on my photographic journey.
Cheers

You just keep adding more and more good stuff. Most of the bikes are ... meh ... when compared to the other very very nice shots. I really like your processing. What equipment and you using and the processing program?
-
Defnitely like the last posted images.

Gary,
I am so pleased you came back to this thread .....I have been following your "Old Stuff" with great interest it is very inspirational work.
Yes the bicycles are a bit lame, thank you for the honest critique it is helpful to me.
The resizing on these looks bad ......my processing workflow is Adobe Camera Raw, adjust exposure (black white points) then check noise in NIK define, open TIFF in NIK Silver Efex 2, I don't use any presets .....globally boost contrast, then dodge and burn with control points (control points are the reason I use NIK plug ins)
The camera for these was a D800 and 16-35mm, but like you I also use a X-pro1 (18mm/35mm) alongside a X100 for street stuff.
Defnitely like the last posted images.
Elsa,
Thank you for commenting it is helpful getting experienced eyes looking over the images. I have a few twilight images to finish the set off, so hopefully you will come back and take a look at them.
Cheers
Bez

So true, so important...! I guess that's why I joined :-)

I like your shadows, well done BEZ. (And your choice in equipment. ;) )

It is a great feeling to be back in a circumstance where people are civil, knowledgeable and forthright about their opinions and there is no hint of underlying attitude.
I have missed this very much and, although my work is clearly in the lowest quartile of those posting here, I am so happy to be here.
Encouraged by Lew's preamble, I would say that the "Do not touch" sign is a nice catch, but here it is relegated to the margins of the image and that is probably the reason why Lew initially did not put it into the context on the scene. In my view the picture needs to be cropped on the left and below - something like that. ( I am not sure if the unsolicited editing is not frowned upon on this forum, but I am not a politically correct member)

Just looked through the whole thread. It is fascinating to look at the other street shooter's shots. So many scenes that I have shot (or did not shoot).. dialogues.. bikers with shadows.. I have my own versions of all that... Street is actually very repetitive. But I shoot almost exclusively in color.

BEZ- Not or rarely crop is quite impressive. I am trying to attain that level of seeing and shooting. I keep coming back to the bike series. I really like the idea of the bikes ... but they were not as strong, at least to me, as you other images. I was thinking that in the strong, elongated shadows of the late afternoon light ... that maybe a series of bike shadows would be very interesting.
-
Agree about cropping Gary. I crop mercilessly. Some strong images there. And "Love area" is just hilarious.

I like to do the same, and yes it is "repetitive" ....but every once in a while (only a couple of times a year for me) everything falls into place, never to be repeated.

I do straighten and change the format size (or camera) to suit output, I don't generally like 135 in portrait orientation. Your PJ background would make you used to heavy cropping.
I agree about the bicycles, I grabbed them when I was changing locations. There are not many cyclists in my home city so they caught my eye.

I agree about the bicycles, I grabbed them when I was changing locations. There are not many cyclists in my home city so they caught my eye.
Ahhhh, but the rub is I didn't crop at all. I gave the editors full frame prints with HCB borders and let them crop to suit. If the photo needed cropping for any reasons, (tilted horizons, subject too small, et cetera), I'd toss the photo.

Something like this. (I am trying to get back to my no-crop skill level.)

Cool shot Gary and the HCB border gives it added authenticity. I have always been impressed, and liked borders included in prints.
I expect you normally left a little room in the framing for the editor. I remember having to think of a magazine cover shot, leaving space for the title.

Only when asked. 99% of the time I filled the frame.

Ah,I filed also the negative tray on the enlarger to get the HCB "truthness" ! Been doing that for so long that even when shooting digital I tend to add a fine black border to my pictures... It allows me to see if someone crops my pictures (mostly my main client, my school of Architecture) :-)

I used to hate having to create negative space, it goes against all my instincts.

I love the idea of your modification to attain "truthness" :-)

So nice to see your work here Anthony! So many images to digest. I hope I can contribute more meaningful comments soon. For now I'm just enjoying the show. The B&W processing is excellent as always, but, it's the casual spontaneity of your images that I love. Not quite as easy as you make it look.
Excellent photography.

Great series Bez. #lust and #beers are my favorites, they have a kind of 'nostalgic' atmosphere with immediate impact.

Hello James,
I am so pleased you are here, and excited to hopefully see more of your images again. Although It does not make much sense written down, I always felt we had a different capture eye, but a similar vision for prints.
Cheers
Anthony :-)

Hello John,
Thank you for the kind words, and for listing your favourites. It is interesting to me that everyone seems to prefer different images.
Cheers
