D Griff Gallery: Micro Four Thirds Photography

Жыл бұрын

In this photography video I am out with friends on the Liverpool waterfront, and in the city centre doing some candid street photography. This isn't a photography genre with which I am particularly confident or have a good deal of experience, but a very enjoyable day out in any case. I share some thoughts on one or two of the photographs I made, and I have a couple of points to discuss on street photography techniques and thoughts on using photographic equipment.

Hi Dave, a nice change of scenery, though I do share some of your feelings about herds of folk. Super images and an outbreak of Grumpy Dave .. what's not to like. The beetles mural shot with Mali out of focus while he was totally focussed was a nice touch too.

Well that was a surprise seeing you out on the streets with that rabble its a wonder you was not pulled in by the old bill.....joking aside you done well under captain Mali's guidance! did you manage to see the Beatles and the Cathedral? Its been a long time since I was in Liverpool so thanks for taking us there.......

@DGriffGallery Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately the Beatles were fenced off for the Eurovision stuff. Although I’ve seen it several times before and it’s a bit of a holiday snap if I’m honest. And we didn’t make it as far as either of the cathedrals before diverting back to the waterfront, but I’m sure there’ll be more trips to urban settings in future for this sort of thing. 🙂👍

Life has been happening, and I’m just getting to watch this. Enjoyed your shots a whole bunch. Sometimes it’s fun to try something different. I used to do a bit of street work, both in downtown Denver and in some of the mountain towns.

@DGriffGallery Жыл бұрын

I bet those mountain towns are great locations, a combination of interesting visitors, with rivers and mountains! CO is definitely on my "must visit" list. I really enjoyed this one, in Liverpool, too, and will be doing a few more different genres, I think. 😊👍

@paultaylorphotography9499 Жыл бұрын

Fair play David you gave street a go and came away with some very nice shots my pref was the older couple. I've shot street pix for decades, I also love landscapes but when I look back through my archives it's always the people that hold my attention. A mountain a lake a woodland seldom change that much but folk do, fashions change people age etc for me they hold far more historical value, saying that I can't wait to hit the hills again soon. Top work fellas.

Hi David, Really enjoyed that... not only was it something different, but it actually showed you totally out of your comfort zone... hence the superb bit of humour regarding "being up a mountainside"... which just goes to show that as photographers its always worth pushing the boundaries a tad now and then... Now forgive me for saying but you have some wonderful streetlife on your doorstep in reality I am thinking of Bangor, especially at night around the pubs etc with the students from the Uni.... That shot before you did the critique was wonderful and a really nice use of a wide angle lens... Keep them coming David... just remember the hills will always be there... but time and tide wait for no man... especially in regards to street photography... Thank you... regards.. Yoki..

@DGriffGallery Жыл бұрын

You make a very good point about local urban photography. Although I’m not sure that Bangor would be my first choice as I wouldn’t want to be relieved of my camera equipment! However, I have given some thought to spending a bit of time in Caernarfon as that gives me some interesting backdrops, as well as plenty of UNESCO visitors. 🙂👍
