Your cited articles do not support the statement about "without a caption".

But on a larger scale, how does that make Street any different than every other type of photography? It doesn't!

But taking photographs where it is not possible to point at an object in the picture and say "That is the subject" is what makes Street difficult. Most viewers don't even realize that is true, and many photographers just cannot get over trying to make some tangible object standout as a subject.

Very nice Street Portraiture. But it isn't Street Photography.

That he only started this project at a mere 76 years of age is astounding! He still looks healthier than most of us when we are 76.

Really interesting image of a truely significant character.

Profit is inconsequential.

What matters are privacy and "commercial" use.

Don't distribute photographs that are embarrassing in inappropriate ways. Someone whose cloths get ripped off would be a photo to avoid. Take it, just don't display it.

Commercial use means promoting the sale of another object. You can sell and profit from a photograph, but if a photogragh is used to advertise some other object for sale, for example football helmets, a model release is required.

Experience counts! And so does being able to relate the abstract similarities from two different examples too. That is what makes your example so useful in this discussion.

To show off the Bed and Breakfast, back off or get a much wider lens.

The whole problem is that it looks like a half baked, not well done, boudoir shot. Not good for the model and not good for the room.
A better boudoir shot would have fewer cloths, anything else need a lot more of the room.

Either would be good because both the model and the room are really nice.

Of course that is just one opinion and there might be many others that differ. YOURS is the ONLY opinion that actually counts!

To be honest, for my taste this picture is a mistake.

The setting (a bedroom) is being used to imply a sexy model. It does not work well, simply because it looks as if that model standing next to a gravel road on a dull day soaking wet wearing dirty rags and in the shade would be sexier than that bedroom could ever be!

With this lady use her to enhance the setting, not the other way around.

True about a RAW file. But in no way does a TIFF have all the data of the RAW file it was generated from. Nor is it uncompressed. It just does not normally use the extremely lossy compression that JPEG uses.

Great idea! Though I might go for extending that to 60 minutes!

Another great idea would be some way to insure the author actually proof reads their entire article at least twice after it is finished. As it is we have several members who enjoy talking to themselves, writing long rants just to hear themselves talk. They never proof read anything and have no concern at all about what they are communicating to a reader.

I have no idea at all how that could be required though. My current method is personal... I don't bother reading authors or articles where that style is apparant.

Ahhh... that is exactly what they look like! The influence of photo jounalism is clear.

Thanks for posting those, and please continue. It will be very interesting to watch to see if and how your photography evolves.

Street Photography is one of the most difficult genres to engage in, and therefore the practice causes an almost continuous evolution in applied style for most photographers.

Absolutely do post more!

Yes.

He is a joke, and every now and then I do just unload on him for fun. Usually there us no point in any response, as it just gets another outlandish reply in the same way is one did.

I avoid Ziploc bags because I know better. You obviously know nothing about this topic!

Removing the battery is a good idea if it needs to be recharged. How fast it warms up, and the mechanism for heat transfer has no significance to an intelligent photographer. Useful things that a real photographer knows!

For anyone who needs this information, it will be very obvious when put to use (or maybe even by just thinking about it for real photographers). I.g. why leaving the battery and memory card in the camera and then later removing them individually from within the bag is the safest and most expedient method.

Grow up and try to learn! You have no education and no valid experience. You could learn all about this, as I have described it in detail on the Internet many times. That includes why Ziploc bags are inferior, why trash bags are superior, why the described sequence is prefered and why it is safer.

But you seem entirely unable to learn. Jealousy does not help, lack of experience is also an hinderance, and so are the other obvious deficiencies that you operate under.

Very nice photography, and super great for a first attempt at Street Photography!

They all have the same strengths and weaknesses. That helps to describe what they are, and suggest directions for change if you want.

They each include, barely, the minimum requirements to properly be called Street. None of the images emphasize any of the Street requirements. Which is to say they are more "pretty pictures" than they are examples of Street Photography.

All of them would be improved by a wider field of view that includes more of the environmental context. They have just enough, but more would be better.

All would be improved by use of BW rather than color. The color in these makes for a "nice photograph", but distracts significantly from the objectives of Street Photography. Showing the intangible relationships between the tangible objects of the entire composition is very difficult with so much distracting color detail that does not contribute.

The emphasis is that Street Photography has a point, and it is not to make "pretty pictures". It us more like "interesting pictures".

The subject is not an object, and if the image significantly describes the character of any physical object in the frame, it is a distraction! The actual subject is the abstract, and often very ephemeral, connections between objects.

Narrowing the view to fewer objects tends to make the remaining objects more individually significant. That tends toward a portrait of an object, particularly with color or if the object is itself interesting, or if the object is a person.

The point is to show the relationships, which are non-tangible! BW, lots of environmental context, and obscured details for significantly interesting physical objects!

An astute comment, which correctly characterizes not just this exchange but also virtually all comments that selmslie makes about my posts to UHH.

I've little doubt he did live for some short time in southern Ontario and probably did see below freezing temperatures for "weeks". He certainly never experienced a single stretch of -20 that lasted for longer than a week or maybe two at the most.

Claiming his experience is equal to mine, or that I am the one repeating what was found on the Internet is hilarious.

I lived for 20 years in the coldest place (Salcha) in the Fairbanks AK area and since then have lived in Barrow for an even longer period of time.

Which is to say I lived, for 4 decades, in the two coldest places in the USA. Salcha gets the absolute lowest temperatures (coldest I saw was -70), while Barrow's average is the lowest in the entire US.

My cold weather experience in 50 plus years of living in Alaska has in each of those years exceeded, by at least two times, his ENTIRE lifetime exposure to cold.

Given that condensation is something I have to deal with in all twelve months of the year, it might seem reasonable if I see this as just one more of a very long series of ridiculous rants of foolish nonsense.

Everyone can trust that slowly warming a camera has no benefit at all. The faster the better. Note that a Ziploc bag is not the best because with a plastic trash bag it is easy to safely remove a battery or memory card during the process without danger of condensation on the camera.

If you make a mistake, it is your mistake. That is probably not a surprise in your case.

The speed of warming is totally irrelevant.

Warming up "gradually" does not help in avoiding fog and condensation. The speed of warming as zero effect.
