And I&#39;ve said before when photographing CheerSF, I always worry about them hitting the wires and creating a massive power blackout :)<br /><br />I hear you regarding critical doubts and photographic regrets. I was thumbing through photos this morning, looking for something to post on All City, and I found flaws in every one of the photos I&#39;ve taken recently. Sharpening, contrast, composition, cliche... you name it, I wasn&#39;t satisfied with anything. Finally, I decided not to let the flaws paralyze me. But there are some days they do.Bob Horowitzhttp://allcitysf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882548170893834885.post-59505796358535590522011-07-05T15:12:35.236-07:002011-07-05T15:12:35.236-07:00Thanks -- with black fetish-y people with bone white drums, b&amp;w was a no-brainer. :) <br /><br />The flash helped (SB-800 has some kick), but also I have a theory that the streets on Market are light enough in places to act as a kind of weak reflector -- maybe good for bringing shadows up half a stop or so.Brandon Downeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10869602555748208547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882548170893834885.post-2973452020188054582011-07-05T15:02:54.185-07:002011-07-05T15:02:54.185-07:00For the sun being as harsh as it was, you got some great shots!

At the first glance I actually thought it was a Winogrand. Street photography par excellence. I dig the sun beams and the askew framing.

Or, imagine a person in the middle, but everyone around them has their backs turned toward them -- kind of a shunning vibe.Brandon Downeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10869602555748208547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882548170893834885.post-19049937138222601072011-04-12T18:07:13.356-07:002011-04-12T18:07:13.356-07:00Very cool and a great snag!Bradhttp://www.citysnaps.net/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882548170893834885.post-63206724498423298052011-04-11T11:24:53.869-07:002011-04-11T11:24:53.869-07:00given<br />- pre-existing group<br />- self-assembling into photo pose<br />- is it me or do the people seem more &quot;leaderly&quot; the closer they get to the middle?<br /><br />Is photo center the same as &quot;head of the table&quot; in a group?<br /><br />-- guyalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882548170893834885.post-16012492732429875252011-04-07T22:13:40.812-07:002011-04-07T22:13:40.812-07:00+1 monster point for &quot;Unfortunately&quot;Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13737602776720884429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882548170893834885.post-90349874778339284962011-04-02T01:02:50.937-07:002011-04-02T01:02:50.937-07:00Ha-Ha!
