“Street Scenes” is the Photo Theme For August

Street Scenes – Street photography is one of the most challenging but at the same time one of the most rewarding genres of photography.  Documenting people in their everyday environment is not easy – it requires patience, hard work and sometimes even some bravery to be able to approach and photograph complete strangers.  You need to have quick responses and react intuitively as you would shooting sports. Just like travel photography, you must master storytelling.  And also, you must be able to thoughtfully and creatively compose a compelling shot that draws in your viewer, just like in landscape photography.  

Create photographs that fit the theme and upload up to five of them to the club’s Monthly Photo Themes flickr group.  Post them during August, not before or after, that way they’ll appear together with other club member’s images.
