Leica M3 photos in video

Very nice! You've got a good eye and the exposures look good. Presentation is very good too; the slideshow with music was put together well.

Thank you for showing your work!
 
Didn't finish watching the whole video (my attention span isn't that long), but from watching 1.5 mins of it: you're in the right place at the right time :)

I especially like the lower-contrast photos.
 
That was great, thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it and it's given me another project to look forward too- I want to make one of those picture movies now!
 
nice slideshow, thx for sharing :)

I like too to put up occasionally small movie for trip or such, iMovie on Mac is very flexible and intuitive.

but where you guys get the music for the background ? all I know is copyrighted stuff that gets removed from open sites like Facebook or Youtube.
 
So, you're sharing these in the hopes of getting some constructive criticism I think? Here are my thoughts.

There is a lot of street photography out there now...a lot. You need to make pictures that have something really interesting occurring on more than one level, i.e. it's not just good enough to be an interesting scene to you but there has to beautiful light, a strong composition (often a sense of geometry), and there has to be something sort of strange and curious about the photo (it needs to inspire questions in the viewer rather than provide simple descriptions).

The challenge for street photography is learning how to get close. Photos of peoples backs and from a distance can work, but they will usually not engage your viewer like photos of people close and facing you. It's not easy. There is a lot of discussion about it on the net. The best street photographers have found their own ways to do it.

Unless you are posting a single photo photo for critic, to understand why it works or doesn't, then only show your best photos. And by that I mean really the best of the best, if there is any lingering question about it in you mind then don't put it in your portfolio. What I'm talking about here is acquiring the skill of editing. Show people a few bad photos and they will walk away.

I suggest looking at good photos and trying to figure out what you like about them and how the photographer arrived there. There are great groups online for this, hardcore street photography on Flickr, inpublic, Magnum Photos, VII, and more good flickr groups here.

That said, I wish you good luck and good light! and to keep having fun with you camera.

cheers,
Ian

They are just beautiful! I like the music and the idea of puting them up as a video! Wonderful style. You're on the right track. Keep shooting for yourself, and soon everyone else will see what you see.

There are a few that were just wonderful - they were the ones that drew my eye to a particular subject, or were, as noted before, geometrically pleasing and balanced.

Cluttered shots of a mass of people all doing different things, with no single point of interest makes for a boring shot. I know, I have plenty of them. But you are able to find that right combination, as some of these are gallery ready. Others need to hit the recycle bin. It's not easy, but keeping a bunch of "just okay" photos will hurt you in the long run. Displaying them all as your work could be deadly to your hopes of being an artist. But you may need to do that until you get enough comments from strangers/friends to recognize what is wheat and what is chaff. I also got tired after a minute and never got to the end. Always leave with your audience want more.

Those are my thoughts. Really loved the opening image, and it would easily find a place on my wall to be displayed.

januaryman..can you please tell me which photos are good for you

Okay, but it seems a sneaky way to make me sit through the whole slide show... ;)

Below are my picks - other images that are too dark (probably underexposed), like 7 and 8, I removed. 18 needs cropping, to me.

So the good ones for me are:

1,5,6,9,11,20,23,29,30, 31, 32, 33.

I would keep them in my portfolio when showing my photos. Other commenters will, I'm sure, have different favorites. My word isn't definitive, just reflective of what I find for my own tastes.
