Street Street photography (Image thread)

So tell me about this image TDP. It seems to be falling apart, was that you intent? What's going on with the F3? How the hell are you? I like the cat.

I walking back to my car from a night market in central Taiwan. I have my EM5 and 7-14 with me for some wide night city shots, ISO set to 3200 and shutter to 1/40th. Seems to be a good enough middle ground for mixed lighting night shots. Anyway, I glanced down the alley and saw this cat with a bit of backlight and didn't have time to make any camera settings so I took 2 shots.

The original RAW files are underexposed, when pushed up to make a somewhat useable image the noise level is intense and there is significant banding. I like the image a lot so tried to work something out in LR that I could live with, the image above is the result.

It is a gritty, dark and dirty image but that is exactly what the street animals are in the back alleys of the markets here.


The F3 is perfection in photo fun - the size and weight and clack of the shutter, what a blast. It is also making me stop and think and shoot my digital cameras in a non-digital mindset: taking time to get the photo right, the exposure right, the framing right at the time of exposure. Good stuff.

I was there last year. Your shot conveys just how vibrant and buzzy the place is...be it night or day!

This was probably not too far from your shot?

Yes Peter, your shot is behind the small port building. It was a weekend and a ramadan night and the place was very crowded even at late night.
 
ivoire, the first and last are both amazing
the portrait of the man would be better if the eyes were more in focus than the nose, or if none of it was in focus, great composition on that one! the nose just distracts me a bit
