Nice catch today Rick. I'd sure let that catwoman have a scratching party with me.

Street Portrait

 

[Marcel]

I really love your B&W treatment Rick. Great shots. Seems you're getting closer and closer to your subjects. Keep them coming!

 

[RickSawThat]

Thanks Marcel. As I go back to familiar locations I am getting closer to the people as you say. There are a few spots where I just know I have a lot of people with many of the same familiar faces (people who work in the area) and new faces (local workers I have not seen, tourists and local visitors). My Project 365 has morphed into Project 365/Street Portrait Project. With that narrow focus I'm really trying to refine my abilities to find interesting people at interesting moments, get consistent quality in exposure, framing and PP.

 

[Marcel]

With the kind of shots you are doing, you're good shots are great. You just can't expect to get over 50% great shots (exposure and focus).

If the sun is out or the conditions stables, I might suggest you go manual with the exposure, do a few tests and from then on just stick to what's good and concentrate on focus and expression only.

I admire your perseverance and like the results you're getting. Just keep at it and try manual exposure for a while. Let us know how it turns out.

 

[RickSawThat]

I'll do that tomorrow and see how it works (manual exposure). BTW - I wish 50% were great. I shoot a lot to post the ones I put on the site

 

[Marcel]

It's the same with my shots Rick, you only get to see the ones that are OK. Specially with macro, I only get about 3% keepers. But rejoice, digital film is FREE.
