... that we spend a lot of time trying to catch a building or a specific scene without people getting in the way of the shot. I know I have waited for ages for traffic lights to change before clicking and yet without people some reflections can be a little lack lustre :) Above Barrack Street, one of two major cross-streets in Perth's central business district and one of the busiest streets in the city looking a bit sad reflected in the traffic mirror on the the old gates leading into Stirling Gardens. I think when things get back to whatever normal is in the near future I might enjoy taking more street photography shots, how about you? Happy weekend, take care and stay safe..
Stay well
ReplyDeleteI look forward to being able to walk down the streets and be relaxed and not worried about whether I have invaded someone's social space. Or seeing people head out onto the road to avoid someone else.
ReplyDelete...I'm not sure what normal will be!
ReplyDeleteI've never done street shots mostly I do do food inside and sometimes on the back deck. But I enjoy looking at the outside shots others take.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't drive and we've been advised not to use public transport unless absolutely necessary, I find myself confined to my village at the moment. Although I love the countryside and nature I'm beginning to feel I need some urban chaos in my life!
ReplyDeleteGrace, a wonderful reflection so indicative of this time of Pandemic. Our Main Street is often free of traffic.
ReplyDeleteWorthy thoughts and image, G
ReplyDeleteThe streets have names but no people.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend.
Oh yes, I'm looking forward to a little street photography.
ReplyDeleteDead quiet. How will historians look back on this photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy. Sometimes I used to include cars, sometimes I waited for the scene to be empty. It will probably be the same going forward, but, forgetting photography, I am hoping for something close to normal as soon as possible and safe.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to figure it out, but yes, people in the shot usually make it much more interesting. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteCan't quite figure how mirror is hung. Or is it a mirror
ReplyDeleteI look forward to when everything will become "normal"!
ReplyDeleteWill that really happen?
Enjoy your weekend, Grace! 🤗
We can go out and about, Grace, and there is traffic, too.
ReplyDeleteSpooky to see your shot!
Sunny here and warming up, yay, hope you have great weather, too! To a lovely weekend xox
Not many streets around us to take photos of!!! Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteStreets look so lonely without the traffic. Sometimes when we drive to the boardwalk, we are the only cars for miles.
ReplyDeleteAny photo with a person in it is better than the same scene without a person.
ReplyDeleteThat does look quite sad Grace! But let me say that those Gate Baluster looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt has been crazy.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out how to take tulip shots under the current restrictions.
It has been rather difficult to get street photography shots are the moment, hence lots of domesticity in my posts recently. It is beginning to change though, the roads are getting busier.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm not so sure what our new normal will totally be but I'm hoping it arrives soon!
