Chance For Taking Photos 3

3.  Street photography

According to Wikipedia, Street photography is photography that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. The subject of the photograph might be absent of people and can be an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic. So, there are a lot of different shots that you can take on the street. Make the people who are talking to each other, carrying  shopping bags, or even just places your aim. Below are some examples of Street photography:














EASY!!


I would call it Street life photography because it captures what is going on the street and its moments. I am really not a studio person. I really am enjoying taking picture of people, things, and places. This is one of my favorite shots. I can just capture the movement of people walking down the street or in a restaurant.

Don't Worry About It!!

I have taken a billion of pictures that are not straight. This is because I was rushing or I was in a stately place. Sometimes because it is just difficult to take an even photo like the example below:



As you saw, the building in that picture was skewed. So I found an app that can fix this issue and make the picture looks great. SKEW app is created to just fix this issue. You know, I will not talk a lot. I will leave the picture below to talk:




That is it!! You will get an awesome result.

Also, there is another great app called SKRWT. SKRWT does the same thing, but in a different way.

They are both for $1.99 in the app store. If you want to have only one of them, I prefer the first one. In fact, I really have both of them because even though they make the things even, they give a different result, so if one of them didn’t give me the result that I am looking for, of course the other one will give me that. Believe me, they are both worth the money!!

TGIF!!

YEAH, it’s Friday guys, the time to go to New York and discover a new place. You know guys, when I decide to go to a new restaurant, I choose a restaurant that inspires me. Navy New York is one of the New York restaurants that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Navy New York is located in the Soho neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, so I had my lunch there.








I knew that restaurant by photographers’ pictire on Instagram. I have seen a couple of pictures of it for a long time. So, I went there with one of my friends. The owners of the restaurant are a brother and sister from England. They opened it around year ago.




I really liked the design and decoration. As a photographer, I couldn’t stop taking pictures. The owner actually told my friend that they aimed to attract the models and the photographers by the restaurant design and decoration.






I had a seat and I got the finest menu I have ever seen!! I know some of you may mock me now, but I liked the menu because it was a handwritten menu. Yes, it was. Actually, I didn’t take a picture of it, but I found it for you guys. To be in the safe side, we ordered Burgers.





Then we had a walk in Soho neighborhood. For my friend, it was just a walk, but for me it was a photowalk. Here are some of the picture that I took in Soho.








Then we got take-out dessert from Ladurée




I bought caramel, coffee, and vanilla macaroon, but I liked the coffee & the vanilla macaroon.

The last stop was Times Square and there was a traditional celebration that time and I got a chance to take some pictures







We didn’t spend that much time in Times Square because we went there to go to the bust stop to get back home.


We really enjoyed our time in NYC and we felt the tiredness when we got home. I am really gonna miss new york city when I finish my studying here.

Chance For Taking Photos 2

2. People in front of you


While you are walking, often you will have a really good chance to take a great photo of the people who are walking in front of you. This is an easy and very good shot. You can also take a good shot of only their feet while they are walking. So when you are walking in a crowded city, keep your cell phone in your hand to be ready for any chance. Below are some examples of these kinds of shots.

















As you saw, you don’t need to plan to take this kind of picture. Always let the crowd be your goal. Don’t worry when you are taking this kind of picture because people will not see you. All you need to do is keep walking and taking pictures. Don't forget to share your work on Instagram with #ChanceForTakingPhotos hashtag so I can give a feedback.
