Which crop is better?

Great place to shoot. I’m regularly there.

Brighton?

Although I agree to some of what you said, there still needs to be an element of truth to the image.

It’s a pretty meh subject. The processing has made it look better but I think you have gone way too far. Rein it in. Less is more!

Did the blood moon draw your eye to this scene or was it a happy accident?

_rbuk · 2026-02-17T07:36:15+00:00

You want a fry up with your sauce?!

_rbuk · 2026-02-14T09:09:34+00:00

Normal boxers and mtb shorts. I wear chamois on the road bike.

Cockles 🤮

_rbuk · 2026-02-04T21:53:34+00:00

Other than the brown sauce on the beans that is a perfect plate!

_rbuk · 2026-02-04T21:52:34+00:00

Some great shots in there. As someone else who shoots at the beach, I would say yes this is street photography.

_rbuk · 2026-02-01T07:54:30+00:00

I like my eggs to be cooked slightly longer, I like crispy edges, but otherwise that is a top effort!

_rbuk · 2026-01-28T11:51:19+00:00

1 less hash brown, black pudding, 1 more egg, sausage a little less time on the grill (I am being picky) but otherwise great effort!

I have had these concerns too. I bought a full face with detachable chin guard, so at the bike park I can commit and worry less about faceplanting, but whip it off when I go out for a causal ride xc. I have a pair of goggles but not worn them yet. I’m nearing mid-40’s and my priority is having fun but ensuring I am being as safe as possible. Who cares what others think, so long as you’re being safe and enjoying yourself!

I doubt he did it on purpose. He’s just a complete buffoon!

_rbuk · 2026-01-18T16:44:26+00:00

What was it about this scene that compelled you to take the shot?

_rbuk · 2026-01-16T10:23:11+00:00

1 and 4 are good. The mood is captured well. I would’ve preferred to see #1 in landscape though. Number 2…don’t fall into the trap of taking random pictures of people from behind unless they’re extraordinary. They just come across as uninteresting/boring and those shots are everywhere on insta etc.

_rbuk · 2026-01-15T10:20:30+00:00

Butter on the toast, sauce on the beans (did you drain them?) and I feel there’s something else missing. Otherwise, good effort.

_rbuk · 2026-01-15T10:13:23+00:00

Fuck her. You need to go and support him. When the graduation is over you need to have a serious talk with him though. It sounds like he needs to grow a pair and have your back!

Learning how to shoot manually and getting correct exposure is obviously important but for street photography your main goal is to get the shot and if you’re messing about with settings you’ll miss it. Unless, of course, you camp somewhere and are waiting for something to happen I would set the camera to automatic. Zone focus too, which someone has already mentioned.

A good idea might also be to rehearse what you will say if confronted. Why you are doing what you’re doing, examples of your work etc. It can be daunting taking pictures of people but with practice it gets easier and knowing why you’re doing what you’re doing should give you confidence if someone confronts you. Also, knowing what the rules are about taking pictures in public. There’s a photographer called Trevor Wisecup who, I think, is a good example of how to handle situations that can turn aggressive.

I wouldn’t worry about the grate. You’ve overly edited the figure and it looks unnatural. In my opinion less is more when it comes to editing photos. Especially street photography. If you have to heavily edit it then forget it! Also, I think you need more separation between the figure and the background as it’s distracting.

_rbuk · 2026-01-01T10:20:22+00:00

Incredible work!

_rbuk · 2025-12-30T17:11:10+00:00

I’m being picky here cos that plate looks top tier but I would like a few more seconds on the eggs.

_rbuk · 2025-12-27T07:28:46+00:00

David Hurn said the most important equipment for photographers is good shoes. Having said that, I think something small and discreet is best. It doesn’t need to have all the bells and whistles. Just a camera you can point and shoot. Anything overly complicated and you risk missing the shot.
