The Undead Street

[airfrogusmc]

Well now, we have to have another thread: "What is a strong photograph?" 🙂

There are no rules or formulas but we have 2000 + years of two dimensional imagery to help us.

I always go by what a great photographer once told me that either everything in the frame is helping the photograph and if it's not helping the photograph then it's hurting it.

thanks Jamie and airfrogusmc...

I don't think there's a formula for that, Jamie. Take the second of tomtofa's photographs above ...it breaks many of the established rules but in my humble opinion it's an arresting photograph.

Exactly my point. Great photos can be based on any rules... fascinating and fun! 🙂

Thanks, airfrog!

Perhaps a few from Bangkok? Warning, non-RF alert and I forgot to take any grainy Tri-X with me.

Hi viva&ko, your link doesn't work - you need to use BBCode instead of HTML code.

Using and [IMG] tags would give you a si...kr.com/5340/9685630313_d0c3855dc4_z.jpg[/IMG][/CODE]

You have to wonder . . .
why doesn't all the other stuff that you see posted around the internet (and
often on this site) and labeled "street photography" look as good as the great
(sometimes fabulous) stuff posted in this thread?

Seriously.
