My third attempt at Street Photography
Hi dear friends, after a lot of very valuable input from you guys here goes my third attempt at street. This time round I only clicked the pictures that I found interesting and that I felt created some tension to the user while viewing them (not all of them). I seem to have lost sharpness on the pictures because they were clicked in manual mode in afternoon sunlight, which I know is bad for photography and i didn't know too much about the settings(maybe I should have put the lens hood on?). Some of the pics were shot in RAW and minimally edited, am learning to use the Sony Raw Converter for editing. I have a Coloured and B&W version of the same pictures so also please advice on which looks better in B&W v/s coloured.
Please continue with the positive constructive criticism that you'll great folk have encouraged me with, thanks! Colour https://www.flickr.com/photos/128248...7648202449691/ B&W https://www.flickr.com/photos/128248...7648219966725/

The 1st three images are superb!!! I absolutely love the two on the bench - in the subway. That's an amazing shot - pure "street". I'm really impressed with the incredible growth!!! Keep going, Cruvon. I can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement mate, glad you loved those. Took some courage getting over shooting pictures of people but I think most people are quite receptive about pictures, more so in a touristy place. The last one at Hungry Jacks was a good exercise in making eye contact and the guys instantaneously posing for the picture without me asking though not exactly a picture with a story:)

What sort of camera are you using? I've been thinking about buying a proper camera... truth be told mostly so I can take quality pictures of my watches... but also just to have in general. An iPhone can only do so much.

This one is a Sony A7S, quite compact compared to DSLR's. For macro, you will have to use a adapter to use with Nikon/Canon lenses since they don't have a macro lens yet for the A7's but they sure will in the future. Highly recommend it esp for low light.
