People on the street

Something a bit different for me in this post I very seldom have people in my photos.
@dswigle said to me at least i have plenty of photos in my archives to get me through this period of not getting out walking much which is often the case during winter, and even more so this year for a variety of reasons.

She also said she would love to see some of my shots of NYC ( which may well come) but when I was looking through my folders from 2019, I saw I had a few shots focusing on or with people in them, and decided to do this post

Now since I took these three or so years ago I cannot remember exactly where i took them

Clearly this first one is a guy who seems to be travelling with his backpack, what caught my eye is so many people these days if you see them looking at something in their hands its generally a mobile device of some sort, it was a nice change to see someone reading an actual book

One thing you will notice about many of these photos, or perhaps not but I will mention it, my longest lens at that stage went to 240MM and that was handy as I could take shots of people from a distance without them noticing i was taking their photo LOL

First class photos . Having enough photos is truly inspirational without photos I hardly could make any quality post.
Taking photos of some places truly require a camera that you snap from a distance. All photos here really worth viewing once and again.

Very nice! These are really good at capturing the moment. And that dude with a book! I can imagine he's only in town for a day or two, possibly waiting on someone, and spending a couple hours relaxing off his feet with either a story or, just as likely, a history book. I can imagine him really enjoying a history book. Every picture tells a story!

I'd love to do more street photography, too, but my inner-shy-introvert keeps me from photographing random strangers. You did a good job of it!

I love your thoughts on the guy reading the book
I like the idea it's a history book

I am the same as you hence it's very rare I take photos of people

This is something we cannot do with smartphones. At least nowadays. My smartphone (the Samsung Galaxy A12) take photos with 4.60 mm (or with 1.13 mm with the wide mode). My brother's smartphone, the Huawei Honor 9X take photos with 5.30 mm (this smartphone can also take wide photos, but I have not tried it so far). None of them are close to 240 mm.

Yes. With digital zoom, the more you zoom, the photo will be more pixelated/distorted. The optical zoom is different. If you use optical zoom, then the photo quality will not decrease. Nowadays only a few smartphones has optical zoom. I heard that it is possible to buy external lenses (even microscopes) for smartphones, but I have not tried them so far.

Fun post. I think portraits are always best taken when the subject is unaware. Makes them more authentic.

That's a pleasant change, reading a book! It looks like he's reading the back pages.
At least those people are looking up, most often, they are looking down.
I like your ono blur... peace in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
Have a nice weekend, @tatoodjay !

When I were in the Dolomites in September, there have been many people around a little lake, that I wanted to photograph. It has litterally been surrounded by them. Believe me, to clone them all out has been quite some work 😅 !LOLZ

Great to see something different. Denise is right… you have a large collection to get through in these times 😉😎
I like the captures… a moment in someone’s life… taken from afar. With such a lens unnoticeable.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Have a wonderful weekend further @tattoodjay

as I was editing these photos I thought when it warms up and I start getting out with my camera more I should try and get out of y comfort zone and try more street photography in general and of people on the street especially

That’s a good idea… getting out of one’s comfort zone. That way you grow in your photography too.
Looking forward to seeing it. Ones it warms up again of course… let’s get through the winter first 😉😊

O my… I can imagine @tattoodjay
Here in Spain it’s getting cold now too.
Soon… I move countries. Sadly not to the Berkshires. What was our first plan. Due to company changes.
But we still will move to a country with 4 seasons with lots of nature and probably end up arriving in the snow ☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️ Our plane leaves the 19th of this month.
Now packing boxes… and our stuff will be picked up the 16th.

today is a nicer day sunny and temp in the 50's around 12C, would be a nice day for a walk but I have a scan and a Drs appointment so thats not going to happen

Packing and moving, always a challenge and not so fun at times but leads to new adventures ahead
Curious where are you moving to

Have a great day

Sounds indeed like a nice day. To bad you have appointments. Good luck with them.
Maybe another beautiful day soon will allow you to go out for a walk 🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻

Indeed, the work involved is never fun. But it does lead to new beginnings.
It will be country 6 for me. I will tell about it soon 😉🤓😎 let’s say it is wayyyyy north ❄️☃️

Have a great day further @tattoodjay 👋🏻 Thank you so much.
Take care!
