5 StepsStep one is to be there. That is the most important thing. I always keep a quote by Chuck Close in my mind when I'm not shooting, when I'm sitting at home and contemplating whether or not to get out of the house. I'm paraphrasing but it goes something like this: "Creativity is the product of curiosity and rigor." Curiosity gets you out of the house and going to specific places—likely places you have never been to before. Rigor gets you doing this consistently, even when you're shooting bad photos and feel discouraged. To get the good shots, you have to be there.
With that out of the way I do have a few specific techniques and ideas to keep in mind when shooting people in the streets. Since we already covered the first step, we could call this step two. Step two is to know your gear and be comfortable with it. Shooting needs to happen instantly without any fumbling with your camera. It should always be ready to shoot and set in a way that allows you to react instantly. When the camera i5 Steps by =burningmonk

"Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase"
- Percy W. Harris
The other week, a piece of my writing was selected for a Daily Literature Deviation. If you're curious you can see the article here. I was humbled by that, but my reason for mentioning it in Photography Bi-weekly is that *0hgravity then highlighted a website to me that I found absolutely fascinating. It's soul purpose is to highlight Endangered Languages through Photography. 3170 lens are capturing the people who hold the key to the worlds most secret languages. Once again something like this highlights the complete and utter importance of Photography and reminds us of how far we've come, and how much we can do from mobile phPhotography Fortnightly: Edition Forty Nine by ^Kaz-D

A Filmie Team Feature35mm @ 35mm
Why 35mm is the focal length we recognize immediately and result so well?
Well, first of all, allows capturing the right amount of contextual background when getting close to the subject, while with a 50mm lens on a full frame you’ll have to be almost on the other side of the street to get a similar result. The longer the focal length, more chances the image will look flat (keep in mind that on a dslr the use of the 24mm gives you 36mm - in average the magnification factor is 1x5 for Nikon, Sony and Pentax and 1x6 for Canon)

It’s a fairly wide length for most situations, to capture an entire scene, but on the other hand it also makes you feel that you’re right there in action, when shooting close ups, making it ideal for shots at 2 or 3 meters away from the scene/subject. And in an urban environment one or tA Filmie Team Feature by #The-Yard-Collective

Recording Police Brutality:Dangerous but NecessaryRecording Police is a Dangerous but Necessary Thing to Do.
If You See Something, Film Something.
Video compilation posted on YouTube by YouBetaKnow
This video was created as an example of the importance of filming the police. Video provides transparency, accountability, and an accurate account of incidents that occur. It is no secret that the United States has a serious problem with police abuse, brutality, and corruption. It is essential for civilians to document their encounters with police officers to ensure transparency, accountability, and safety to all of those involved.

Our Admins Personal FavesWe asked our admins: "What is your personal fave from your OWN gallery and why?"
The results are intriguing, informative and at times surprising

My son and I were crossing a street through an alley in Al Diyafah - Dubai, when I saw the bicycle and immediately noticed that the blowing air current, along with the excess cargo of flattened and stacked cardboard boxes was making the front wheel rise up from the ground slightly and then descend once the wind subsided.
I instinctively knew that something was about to go down - or up. So I asked my son to 'SLO' down: Stop, Look, and Observe, while I got my camera ready.
And we waited. We were standing there for like, 20 seconds when this guy walks in frame....
Then it happens: The front wheel goes up, the guy is baffled, and my son and I are standing there barely holding ourselves from rolling on the floor, laughing! It was a good day.
P.S. We helped him with his bicycle afterwards.Our Admins Personal Faves by #The-Yard-Collective

I'm loving jars this month. I'm not sure why, other than the fact that I saw some set up at a craft fair that I had a table at, and I just fell in love with them. A couple of large jars with some fairy lights nestled in them - the effect was immense. It was so simple too! Sadly the people weren't actually selling the lights, but once I'd made a little profit on my sales, I went over clutching my ten pound note and picked out a few. So I was delighted to see that on Flipboard today, there was an article exploring 19 great photos of jars. If you're stuck for inspiration, grab a jam jar (take the jam out first maybe) and start shooting. Shoot things through them, around them, in them - get creative! Jars are awesome.

Good and Bad LightIs there really such a thing as good or bad light?
There is gorgeous light, little light, strange light, dim light, golden light, light so wonderful it makes your whole body hurt, scary light, difficult light, blueish light, morning light, evening light, light at night, light that feels like lead, the sulfuric-yellowish light shortly before a hailstorm, mixed light, the rose tinted light of Eos, the greek goddess of dawn, soft light and hard light, harsh light, artificial light, autumn light, light that tickles you in the morning and wakes you up, maybe there's even ugly light.
Isn't referring to different light situations as good or bad really an approach that keeps you from tackling challenges? One that stops you from trying to find something that makes all kinds of different light work for you? One that stops you from experimenting with light? One that might prevent you from taking that one frame with extraordinary light? One that keeps you from learning to love all sorts of light?Good and Bad Light by =Ikarisou
