Project 10: Moment and Gesture: part 1

I found  this project difficult, because when I went out with my camera there where people walking  about and doing nothing special. I only saw this man working on the outside lights at a local supermarket. I like the texture of the roof  and the Strong lines in the photo. I couldn't really get in any closer to the subject, I should have put my larger lens on, but I didn't have with me.

Project 10: Moment and Gesture: part 2
 I thought I would have another go at this project. I took a lot more time waiting for the right moment to take my photographs. I feel more confident taking photographs of people unaware.

My first impression of this photograph was it looked to busy.There where too many distractions, and too many different colours with shop signs. I changed it to B&W to see what it would look like, I think it look better in B&W. There still a lot go on in the photograph, but with out the colour it seems less busy. I really like the contrast and the tone of the overall photograph. I think the dark sign  across the shop and the one that sticks out sets the contrast off in rest of the photograph.

I may have been better if the bottom part of the street was slightly blurred. I think the camera settings that used was ok for the weather conditions

ISO 200. f/11, 1/400 sec. 30mm.

The pub wall in the photograph is too distracting, I should of been over to the left more when taking the shot. Nothing really stands out in the photograph. I should have waited for the white van to move and focused into the street more. I may have been better of using a higher f- number  and a faster shutter speed with it been such a sunny day.
ISO 200, f/11, 1/200 sec, 34mm.

I should have had a better view point for this photograph,.It would have been better in I had cross over the road, it would have given me a clearer view of the people crossing the road.
The composition in this photograph could have beern much better, theres too much of the pub in the frame.
I think the camera setting where ok, but it would have been better if I had a focused in closser to the people crossing the road
ISO 200, f/10, 1/200 sec, 32mm.
