Any interest in a street candid side challenge for October? By "street candid," I mean candid shots of a person or group of people in a public place. I'm interested in sharing shooting and processing techniques, as well as feedback.

Here are links to the last two street photography challenges:

Street Photography (Advanced Editing V)

Street Photography II (Advanced Editing V)

And my own colection of things I've been doing lately:

Lunchtime in the City (Street Candids)

If you make this a side challenge for just Site Council, it could be SCSCSC :)

I would like to sign up, I'll see if I can post as often as possible! :)

What's frightening is that I thought of that. I wonder if there's any Site Council in South Carolina, because then... Oh, never mind.

So, you in?

I'll sign up but I might wanna put up other Street stuff not only candid portraits.

I can't promise one a day, but seems to be something I might quite like. Stick me down.

I most certainly can't do one a day (my work location does not lend itself to street photography and I can't really wander off at lunch, either) but I will participate as far as shots when I can. I'll definitely follow the postings.

Here's one from this weekend:

I have trouble with the one-a-day side challenges myself, so post what you can when you can -- at least a couple a week would be good, but whatever works for you.

I would like to try. Get to my local village 2-3 times a week, and if I am lucky to something more townie (Victoria or Vancouver) once in while. Getting people has definitely not been my forte, so I could use the impetus.

Up to six, myself included.
09/25/2008 08:21:12 PM · #13
Please! This might be my chance to get my motivation back on track!!! I'm down!
09/25/2008 10:32:47 PM · #14
Stick me in as well. Hopefully this will spark some new interest to play with my new toys.

Glad that interest is building!

I'd like to add another dimension to this. If you live or plan to shoot in a major city or metropolitan area, let me add that to the sign up list. Obviously, you can fill in the location box in your photo, but this will give us all an at-a-glance feel for who's working where and the geographical scope of this side challenge.

Edit your post or PM me.

Well, I certainly don't think Tampere can ever be considered a Metropolitan area or a big city, but this is where most of my shots will come from. On the other hand, quite possibly some will be Chicago, as I am travelling there on business during October.

I'm sure I won't do one daily but I've been getting out quite a bit over the last two weeks so I may be able to hang in there for a while.



That's one of my best of the month and I took this other one a few days back, going to something I don't usually do anymore which is asking strangers to pose. I prefer candid shots but I've been running across some real characters lately so if I don't have time to hang for some action, I've just been getting a quick take. I generally have no affection for posed street images unless the personality of the subject really blasts through. Otherwise they're no different than the usual posed studio shot...only outdoors.



I hope those will work.

I'm probably not going to be able to post one a day either but will try for two or more a week.

I haven't done a lot with this type of photography and could use some practice -- it should be
challenging and fun.
09/27/2008 02:26:45 PM · #25
Put me on the list and I'll do what I can.
