Mindbenders
Sometimes I look at a street photo, then do a double take.
Something doesn't seem right...
What's going on? Is that photomanipulated? Is it really one image? Is that a photo of an ad?
Oh, oh, that's clever!
How did he/she shoot it?
Oh, oh, that's clever!
How did he/she shoot it?
Then the penny drops and makes me love the image even more.
Reflections, light, shadow, perspectives, layers, clever camera angles, l'instant décisif...
Street photography is never set up, and to produce photographs that takes a while to decipher requires great amounts of careful observations.
Marvel at the quick wit and creativity of our fellow street photographers here on dA with these mindbenders.

Yard Tuesdays: Black and White
Black and White

what rich words those two must be having to cover 5 million hues each.
In the spirit of these loaded colour terms,
black and white are not just black and white as any painter would tell you.
From obsidian to charcoal to ivory to eggshell,
sometimes turning a photo into pure BW is not in the shot's best
Yard Tuesdays: Smokers, Snapshots, and Street
~ S M O K E R S ~
Snapshots and Street
Smokers are a popular subject for Street Photographers mainly because they are prime targets from their chosen activity:
they are common, but uncommon enough to be interesting,
a puff of smoke is eye catching and adds drama to the shot,
and best of all, they are usually standing pretty still.
As they are prime targets, it is easy for a shot to fall into the snapshot category.
So using smokers as our theme, let's have a little look into it.

The lines between snapshots and Street are blurry and each person draws the line differently,
but there is usually a certain je ne sais quoi within a frame tha
