4 PHOTO COLLAGE

I’m ready for my close up now.

I happened upon this girl with a bunch of balloons tied to herself and a man photographing her on my lunch break. The whole ordeal seemed slightly comical as their was a slight breeze out and she was struggling to keep control of all the balloons.

Once again my shyness with the camera around strangers hindered my ability to take a good street photography picture. I didn’t want to get to close and disrupt their flow, or even indicate that I was taking a photo of them. As such I am to far away, I’d say by about 15 to 20 feet. Street photograph always looks so easy to do. Simply point and shoot the camera. Perhaps the key is ones ability to feel comfortable shooting in crowded areas full of strangers.

Another image from the soccer shoot. Although I'd normally avoid black in this scenario and lighting, the contrast from the shadows was still pretty decent on his shirt.
