Student Street Photography Awards 2012
Here are my entries for this
photography competition. I'm usually quite apprehensive towards
photography competitions because being art, judge's taste and
preferences can vary greatly. Oh well, all you can do is give it your
best shot (haha, pun!). But yeah a photography award still eludes me. I want one soooooooo badly. About time for me to be able to tell people that I'm an 'award-winning photographer' because just telling people that you love taking pictures doesn't have the same kick to it. LOL
Bustling traffic in Tokyo
Teenagers playing baseball at the local park
People recording the New Year's Day firework display on their phone
An intimate moment between an elderly couple
Casual hillwalking on a sunny day
Man feeding pigeons
A walk in the park
Street photography, literally
O.O They are all so beautiful! Especially the first one, I like it so much!
ReplyDeleteI may not be right in saying this but maybe you should reconsider photo no.3? Seeing as the mobiles themselves are out of focus but the face of the lady at the lower right corner is? :)
ReplyDeleteAppreciate Stanley's own artistic choices. A good photo doesn't only mean the need to be in focus or framed or exposed properly. I like the atmosphere that picture captures.
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the guy feeding birds. The sunlight, the birds, shadows, his hat and the positioning of his hand is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate Stanley's choice and I agree with you that the atmosphere is great. However, seeing as he is submitting these for an award, the judges might think otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThank youuu :) Love it how you silently stalk this page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thoughts guys! Photos have been submitted so there's really nothing I can do except to keep my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites as well!
ReplyDeleteI think only the first one is ok. It looks like in the first one you were trying to use the geometry of the cars as part of your composition but the white car on the right fails in this.
ReplyDeleteThe rest are all just cliches cause I've seen pictures like these all too often. I think you need to keep finding your own style of shooting to separate your shots from the rest. Try looking at photos from Henry Cartier-Bresson, we all can learn a lot from him :)
Good luck! ;)
