" If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough."


Robert Capa



That was last week.
This week, we're taking that and throwing it away.*

Sometimes we just need to get away from all the action
to let the frame breathe a little;
sometimes we go far because there is so much action
and we want to capture it all.

Let's see why our fellow Street Deviants here zoom out and get loose!


*at least for the length of this journal






1) Graphic Composition



Getting far have the effect of abstracting human figures.
These abstracted figures are great for balancing the composition
while adding interest and life to the frame; because
when the right person walks into right place in the right time,
magic happens.

Behold!

2) Context/Environment



Street Photographers also zoom out for the full impact of the scene,
whether it is for the scale or sheer absurdity that requires a whole lot of context.
There's still the decisive moment in play
which differentiates a Street shot from a regular snapshot.

3) Light and Mood



Light gives mood, but
not all light is equal.
Some requires the photographer to be far away
in order to capture it's true majesty.
