street photography

[Andy]

to mark the passing of a truly great photographer, and someone whomi so greatly admire, mr henri cartier-bresson, i broke out a roll of old, outdated and clumpy-grained tri-x pan film, loaded it into my sony f828, and came up with these. all shot with my sony f828, converted to b&w (*) and then i applied my tri-x technique (*).

there's more in my "ny at asa 1600 gallery" right here (http://www.moonriverphotography.com/gallery/127580/1/6930083)


(*)here's a week's worth of reading on b&w conversion and techniques (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1009&message=7475823)

(**)here's my tri-x tutorial (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1009&message=8849727)

the decisive moment: 'the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression.' -- henri cartier-bresson

enjoy (street) photography,

Andy, my favorite is the Wall St. subway; how did you manage to get the flag on the train like that?


I'm saving the B&W tutorials for much later, got plenty to absorb right now.
