@goosehd What's interesting to me is the guitar player sitting there and the people walking down the stairs.I don't think the castle in the background etc. adds to it. Maybe you can try some alternate cropping when you get home. I'm a real big fan of less is more,but I'm guessing the background is a function of the 28mm lens.

@Jett129 Just got home yesterday and will try cropping some of them. The pictures posted are all unedited at this point. I have over 400 from the Leica and an easy thousand from the iPhone between the party and parts of Lisbon to work through.

Not knowing if we are going to make it back to Lisbon, I wanted to take a few to remember it...

@goosehd That was quick,exactly what I'm talking about. Now test it in B&W.

@Jett129 ...this is fun

@goosehd the pop of color in the first frame is great!

Edited picture of the guitarist from the other angle...

[Jett129]

@goosehd I just love the B&W. I test just about every image I edit,even some of the surfing pictures. It gives the image an entirely different vibe. I think European street photography lends itself to B&W. But the truth of the matter is you really,just,wanted to see if he was wearing Iron Hearts!

Another example of selective color. As you can see anything that is red gets picked up. I think that using the selective color makes the image,slightly,more interesting.

First stop of the Japan trip was to this spot I’ve been dying to shoot. Shot with multiple cameras, just to make sure. Analog shot with Leica M5 and Cinestill 800t will have to wait until I process and scan, so here’s the one from my X100s.

[weftyarn]

love this shot @alexxedge
enjoy your trip and keep us posted on the nest sops please

Wish I was in Japan, but Munich Subway it is for me…

[Jett129]

@weftyarn No one loves your subway photography more than me,

[alexxedge]

@weftyarn I’ll definitely keep trying to post. I’ll fully post when I get back and get my film scanned. Here’s a couple from Kyoto and Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen ride from Tokyo to Kyoto.

[weftyarn]

@alexxedge love those, third is my favorite

@Jett129 you have no clue how great it is to hear your feedback. Keeps me motivated to go out and just shoot

[Jett129]

@weftyarn I don’t think that,photographers as a community,do that enough for each other. That’s one of the things that I like/enjoy about this thread as opposed to say Instagram where you just get generic likes.

@weftyarn, how is street photography like yours reacted to in Germany if the subject notices? I.e. if you get "caught", do people get nasty?

I stopped this sort of shooting a long time ago due to a few instances, the last one of which ended in me having to call the police. While there is clear legality to do it in the US, it stopped being worth it to me.

That’s a really good question,as I too,am uncomfortable doing street photography,especially in NYC.
