there's always something going on on the market isn't there?
Driving a bus through here can't be that fun.
in the other two street photography films
i hope that I've got you used to be in a public place and taking pictures.
In part one
it was about not worrying if people come up and ask you what you're doing.
and the second one with the burger van, it was about being around strangers and taking pictures
and kind of building up your confidence to understand that it's okay.
But something which is
on all our hearts to try and catch are
those candid moments.
So with street photography, there are times to be loud and very very
obvious as i
have been in the previous two films
there's also going to be a place for
being quite quiet and candid
and providing you've got used to doing things from the other two films you should be able to feel
comfortable doing that yourself.
Now i'm not saying that
i'm only going to do candids now, i might actually stop and
ask someone if i can shoot their portrait if it's going to make an interesting
picture which fits the brief.
what i'm really looking for
if we can get it
little magic moments between people i don't know whether we'll get that this afternoon or not.
not because you know we have so much time to spend
down here doing it
but to get that to the people just being people
kind of as an observer. So that's what
i'm going for, and i may or may not speak to them.
so there is a potential situation there, the guy with the hat talking to a girl
sitting under the stand under the stall
under the i don't know, the stripey thing they put up.
the woman the other side , over there
she's got really brilliant light on a her face, and i like characterful-ness
of the guy's hat
but, the problem is
to get that shot to work, really
need to be where that B.B lorry is.
So those are things to watch out for, if you're in this sort of environment you've gotta get
over there.
but also what's cool is that they're sort of looking towards us. come round this way janey.
if you're out with a friend
Jane, can you go that way.
You can often sort of pretend that you're talking to the friend when in fact
what you're doing is just kind of shooting over the friends
shoulder, and grabbing shots, look at that, you see?.
so what i'm doing now is just grabbing some shots of those two,
and they have no idea.
sometimes worth taking a friend along with you because
all the time you're talking to the friend and making out you're chatting to them, what you're really doing is
looking over their shoulder and
just kind of you know
sort of grabbing a shot, like that one.
There we go.
aw these guys are cool. Look at this, he's really lost in his music.
I'm going to nip over the other side, now they know why i'm here,
and they don't seem to worry about it.
Let's try and get this man straight on.
I'm going for a square on shot here of both of these guys, look at this.
now they obviously know that i'm here
that's quite cool.
now i want to try and catch the guy looking.
A lot of this is about waiting for the shot to happen.
so i'm kind of
that's alright don't worry mate you're fine.
ah, see we've got
yeah i think that their quite cool. i just want to see it from another angle.
to even shoot against the light
you often get a much nicer look, now i like that, wow, it's getting quirky
now.
It's coming out a bit.
because i like the two of them.
oh great, we had a grin.
that's what i like,
there's something going on there's stuff happening.
the light is really cool now
let's just
shoot some, i want to get the lens longer
and the best zoom lens is your feet.
why do i want the lens longer?, it means that
there's a shallower depth of field,
and of course you're working around passers by
so i'm just thinking that from here, by this wall
looking down in that direction
you can see the guys busking
that's great, and I've got there
open case, i quite like that,
in fact i like it a lot.
now all we've gotta do is wait till something happens, one of them is hidden behind the
other little
i want to try and get somebody
watching them or something like that.
We haven't got it yet.
grabbing a show here but,
we've probably got
pretty much enough
shots of this guy.
ah, that's quite nice, good.
i quite like this little butchers
van right here.
and erm,
i'm thinking that even the light underneath is really
dreadful, if
i push my exposure commentator up by a stop
then if someones under there
when the being handed a packet of
roast beef or something like that
then it's quite a good angle to get a shot of just this dis-embodied arm handing and someone
else excepting something.
there was someone there
when i first noticed it,
unfortunately in the time I've taken having to tell you that they've gone..
so i might just hang around a minute see if something happens
ow,ow somethings happening,
their obviously having a very long and animated conversation
and you see what i mean by standing in the street and bald as brass we're incredibly
conspicuous
unfortunately my line of sight is now completely blocked but
let's hope
something happens.
the only advantage of being able to stand around this long is
me noticing my shot, i'm noticing a street light way into the background.
no, didn't happen.
what a shame,
she's going back
this could take so long
to get really cool shots right I've gotta , no it's not focused, I've got it
focused
just want something to happen.
I've got her looking at stuff, but it's not the shot that i want.
I something coming out of that van,
the suns moving, the lights changing.
I'm getting lens flare and everything.
ow, here it comes, aw no, that is frustrating as hell, because
that had the potential to be absolutely brilliant.
just going to have a quick flick through,
yeah there are, actually there are one or two in there which are quite good.
We've got a couple of ladies here
on the olives stands
that are just checking stuff out, and i'm hoping that
i can get a bit of something going on from here
oh that's not bad but the focus is in the wrong place.
yeah, there not bad, but i need to be able to see them.
i'm just being a bit obvious now because,
I want them talking to each other really, oh this is cool, yeah, good good. I'd much rather be
looking along the street but
we're not, I've got my exposure composition twist up to plus one
because we're kind of shooting into the dark, and watch out for
trying not to get run over.
if you can possibly avoid it.
ah, i'm waiting to see the guy
we've been clocked, but they don't
seem to mind
lovely lovely light on that woman's face, fabulous.
I'm shooting at F two point eight
to keep that aperture really wide so that
the depth of field is really shallow
oh,oh,oh a bit of pointing
now I've taken loads of these pictures
oh,oh,oh a bit of tasting going on here.
Yeah good, and we've got a bit of life happening.
i'm not looking at you guys because i'm really concentrating on what's going on
Let's hope something happens.
c'mo c'mon, c'mon
money's changing hands
yeah go on, we'd like a little bit more
animated possibly, but
a couple of smiles,still waiting
for that interaction, their having a long conversation.
i'm not taking the camera away from my eye because
if i do, stuff will happen, oh their wandering off.
and their away.
and we've been clocked hay ho.
hello
we make little films about how to shoot photography, can we have a little look?
you can have a little look
hang on I've got to get back a bit.
oh my god
i took quite a lot while you were, i saw you looking at me
we just wanted to catch these little bits of interaction.
i quite like that one, i like this guy
yeah, and that one.
yeah.
thank you for posing for me, that was really kind, haha
bye, cheers.
aw, what nice ladies.
that's cool
look, look, look
it would have been much nicer, if i moved that way in the street
so we didn't have that horrid white van in the background but i couldn't get out without sweeping Jane clean of her feet
with the camera
so we hope that's given you some inspiration, and ideas
about how to go about street market photography
i didn't get
exactly the kind of shot that i had hoped to get when we started filming
but that does have to show you that you do have to put a lot of time patience, and
efforts into getting those sorts of shots.
you don't just wander around wildly snapping and go home with some great
ones
you spend a day out in and environment like this,
and go home with what three really really cool shots and you've done very very well
so once again
post some of your pictures
to our facebook page, we'd love to see them i hope this has given you an
idea
and again we'd love to see the pictures soon
