So this year I've decided that I'm going to branch out and try new things with my photography. Street Photography is my first new genre and it is definitely "outside my comfort zone". I shoot mostly wildlife and landscape so this one was a tough one for me.....now I'll admit that when I choose this topic I thought it was something entirely different but a fellow UHH'er whom I asked advice set me straight (thanks SueScott!!!).
So show me what y'all have.....here's my first attempt at street photography.

Street stuff may and can include hip shots, GiGi
You set up your camera with a 2 or 10 sec retard on a table while you are hypocritically reading the paper or sipping your coffee..you'll catch 'em every time
Nicely done, Jim, and thank you for the great idea!
Who knew you were so devious...lol

I have not tried street photography before. Just not good at taking pictures of people. So I bundled up and went on my river walk today. There are usually a lot of people walking kids or dogs or just running. There were not a lot of people out and about today. I did get two though.
A nice start! I am always a bit amazed at how many people out and about are playing with their smart phones (I don't even have one).

Hi. Just curious, when you do street photography, regarding your photos with one or two people, do you ask the people if they mind if you take their photo, or just snap, post and hope that if they see your photo, they don't mind?
My biggest concern with snapping Street Photography or landscape shots with people, is that if I post it somewhere, or enter it in a contest or show, people will see it and get upset I didn't ask them first.
Maybe part of that has to do with an experience a senior friend and her mom had with an in-home caregiving company. The caregiver took them to the beach,( a public place they could probably "get away with") took photos of my friends with their dogs, then posted one of the photos in a brochure without ever telling them why they were taking the photos, or bothering to ask their permission about posting them in the brochure. So am a little sensitive to invading anyone's space and privacy, and wondering how you handle this.
Thank you,

It's a tough decision, Nat, but in your case, the so called care givers used those
images in a brochure which in turn was used to promote their business...definitely
illegal and an intrusion of privacy.
Courts have ruled that there is no legal expectation of privacy when someone is out
and about in a public place, however one can not use any images of people without
their knowledge or permission in any type of brochure/advertising, etc. that will
financially benefit the photographer. That includes selling the prints!
I am not a lawyer, and I would encourage you to check other forums on UHH about
this type of issue, but as always, it's always best to err on the side of caution.
Hope this helps.

Nice start but I find them a little dsrk, maybe under exposed?
I try to have a "story " in the images but it is really what you see as the photographer that counts 😊
Perhaps a focal point which draws the eye to the subject/s
Just my opinion

Sue really does an excellent job with her B&W renditions, which
always seem to work well with her street photography, so I figured
I'd see if they worked on these...

Made some tweaks to clarity, blacks, highlights, but I think B&W works for this one.

Verdict is out on this one...I had to really lighten up the exposure to get the tats on his arm
