I know it has been a while since I featured street photography from the community \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but here is the last batch of great shots I have noticed on Facebook! If you would like to get one of your shots featured in the future, make sure to upload them to my Facebook fan page<\/a>! (I prefer using Facebook because it is easier to sort\/look through all the photographs).<\/p>\n

Some tips to get included in the next post:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use watermarks on your photographs or white\/black borders. They are often distracting to the image and take away from the power of the photo.<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t over-process your photographs. Once your photo looks too “HDR’y” you should tone it down.<\/li>\n
  3. Street portraits are great \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but try to incorporate the subjects\/backgrounds more.<\/li>\n
  4. Get good lighting. Try not to include shots that have been shot mid-day.<\/li>\n
  5. Think about balance and composition. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have your subjects too center-focused.<\/li>\n
  6. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t shoot people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s backs. Sometimes they work but typically they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.<\/li>\n
  7. Think about the statement your photograph is trying to say. Is it just a person of a person walking on the streets, or something more?<\/li>\n
  8. Generally photos of street performers\/homeless people are cliche and not very original. Try to find the extraordinary in the ordinary- rather than capture ordinary photos of extraordinary people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Keep reading to see if your photograph got included in the post, and see all the great images!<\/div>\n
