"Photographic technique must become second nature - like driving a car. The knowledge of the craft aspects has to sink into your muscles and fingers, your eyes and mind so it becomes an intrinsic part of you; like breathing.
I am sort of a voyeur. I am as interested in what is going on as I am in taking the pictures. Using a camera is a way of being a part of an event that isn't directly part of my life." - Martha Cooper

Photo Challenge - Ways of Seeing
I took these pictures using an iPod and Canon Camera. I have tried to think carefully about the framing of each shot and I have experimented with a variety of subjects and viewpoints.
My favourite is when Miss Graham look at the camera and the background is bit blurred is a amazing and I like it. What went well?

My FAVOURITE Street Photo.
EVALUATION on Benny and Nazmin image: |
This photograph was taken by Garry Winogrand in the 1960s in the USA. That picture is shown three women were walking passed a man who sat in the wheelchair and children and lady on the bench. Three women are staring the man and also they are reflected in the glass to their right along with other people on the street. I really liked the way they capture because the light is beautiful, making an old fashioned street scene and seem almost magical.
Last lesson we had a photo challenge and we we had to take photo looking down on things picture of shadow an reflection of people walking by and cropping showing only part of people body.

- I love the way I have Benny and Nazmin reflection in the glass.
- I like the way the they are standing by the window and looking in.
- There are lots of blurred bits to the photo and it looks good.
- I can change the Direction differently and different way to take the picture.
ebi:
- It would have been even better if they clear more and less blurred.
- Thing is i cant see the shadow clear and benny need more closer in the glass so i can see more.
- The problem is i don't know which person is taken picture and see clearly.
What I learned about street photography from the film 'Everybody Street'
- How do street photographers behave?
- What kind of equipment do they use?
- What kinds of subjects interest them?
- Why do they like photographing on the street?
Strange things can happen. Like when you capture to the people next minutes they will never meet again and it like -stopping time
- What are the risks involved in street photography?
- What makes a successful street photograph?

Diagonals
The idea for this challenge comes from Eric Kim's great street photography site. Street photographs are often about dramatic situations or view points. Drama is created in pictures in lots of ways but using strong diagonal lines is one technique often used by street photographers.
Copy the slideshow of images opposite. The picture is by the great photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Now, download a few examples of your favourite street photographs where you can see that diagonal lines are important (try using this Pinterest board to help you). You could experiment with drawing on the diagonal lines using the Pages application or creating a Google Drawing. Next, go out on location and create a series of pictures with strong diagonal lines. Upload these as a slideshow to your website and write a brief WWW/EBI evaluation |

Photograph CHALLENGE*3 -- rule of third
The Rule of Thirds (which is actually more of a guideline than a rule) is an imaginary grid that can help you make better photographs. As you can see in this diagram, your image is divided up into 9 segments by lines placed one third and two thirds across the surface. Some cameras have the option to turn these grid lines on in the viewfinder.
The idea is to compose your shot using the grid lines, the segments and the places where the lines cross to help you. Look at the slideshow below for some examples of how I have used the Rule of Thirds in taking my image |

WWW: While I was in the bus I tried to take a picture of the what was around west-mister through the window and although it was evening the picture turn out to be so magical because of the mirror reflection. You can see people who are walking past each other and standing at the pavement waiting to cross the road.
EBI: I need to make sure that I get closer to the place I want to take a picture of next time to improve my focus of the picture. I would be standing still on the street and take the different photos. |

SimilaritiesThey do quite activey and doing something but, you cannot see what similarities but I cant tell it.Both of these images are quite black and white street photographs taken in post WW2 New York City. They both has street and same City.
They has people in the picture. |
DIFFERENCESThey do completely different doing and they have effect colour to show when or recent while the boys are show off.
Picture A has a building in the background and picture B has a lt of thing in the background and you could see in grass. The young boys are jump around or they meet up as friend. Picture A are really old cafe and old people to meet up has relaxed chats. |
my photography ruled of third
Use the guide opposite to help you collect photos using a range of Rule of Thirds compositions.
Note: The pink section represents the subject, an area where our eyes might be drawn, the main part of the image. |
The white section should be of less interest, an area of open or negative space, which supports but doesn't dominate the main subject.
Supplementary Challenge Attempt to take 5 photographs that DON'T fit into any of these compositional patterns. |
