Dear strettogs, simple assignment for this week:
Go out and shoot ‘socially distant’ street photos (at least one bus length away), with your face mask on.
And then upload your best photos to arsbeta.com
The brave new world of street photography
Robert Capa once said:
“If your photos aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”
New thought:
If your photos aren’t good enough, you’re too close.
This means observe the ‘one bus length away’ (30 foot rule) in street photography. Put on your face mask, and go out and shoot. Use this opportunity to experiment with a longer lens (maybe try a 50mm like Henri Cartier Bresson). Use this chance to practice making good photo compositions from a distance (like Garry Winogrand).
What do you got? Go out and shoot, and upload your best photos to ARS >
Also, give honest feedback to others in the community, so we can all thrive together.
