Great first attempt image. I like the rim lighting on the second person. You are off to a super start.

The important thing is not to feel intimidated when you are taking the pictures. I felt the same way you did when I goy started in street photography.

thanks - I did make it darker since I had a lot of noise in the background and making the background darker in Photoshop seemed the only way to do it. i did try noise reduction in PS but didn't help much. I'd welcome any other possible cures and appreciate your comments.

Like this one better?

To control noise use a ISO of 100. Yes, the last image has more impact.

In hindsight that would've been better but I originally had the ISO pushed because I wanted a larger DOF but as the image turned out I could've had it wide open for a short DOF and a lower ISO for less noise. Thanks.

Since you have PS skills consider darkening the left corner of tfe image to get rid of the cars. I would also darken that highlight between the two me. My 2 cents

Okay, so the best advice about street photography that I've heard as of late is: When you shoot a photo of someone, don't remove the camera from your eye right away. They won't have the self conscious moment, maybe not even notice your shot. Your pic looks good, tough shot to make great. What are your numbers (ISO, f-stop, aperature, lens stats) on it?

Well, if you've got VR lens, you *might*be able to cut film speed to 1600, f/30 @ f13. Or try controlling your ISO on automatic, this will allow you to set a lower ISO (less noise). Good luck!

try painting with the adjustment brush to add more light to the people. A little bit would do.
