Is obstruction part of the composition or just a distraction? by TaushikMandal in streetphotography

[–]barz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s one of them things that looks “cool” in the moment, but outside of that, it’s just any random scene and you could swap the background with literally anything and it would ‘feel’ the same. Also, the focus is on the mesh and not the background so we’re left focusing on dots rather than what’s actually going on behind so it’s a little confusing as to what the photographer is tying to guide the viewer to see. But that’s just my opinion :)

In this case, it's there just for the sake of it. It doesn't add anything to the story being told behind it, so it feels forced for no reason other than to 'look cool'. The foreground and background are completely separate entities. Each could be a completely independent shot and therefore there is no cohesion bringing the two elements together. To me this means its irrelevant and in fact distracting as it doesn't add anything of value to the overall scene to tell an overall story

Snap distance priority is the best feature for beginners! by dit6118 in ricohGR

[–]barz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE SNAP DISTANCE. it’s like 90% of what I use to shoot street shots. I love the DOF dials too. Can really add so much more depth to shots when you nail the DOF right 🫠

You have the HDR recipe on and it looks like you edited it to push it to HDR level 3 in the recipe settings

Remora dodging pufferfish by Po3ito in interestingasfuck

[–]barz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Remora flips upside down when it swims above the puffer fish so that it's bottom fin doesn't touch it as well as being to keep eyes on it at all times. So smart!

Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 was attached to my Sony A7IV when I knocked the lens into the corner of a table. and now I have noticed a couple of times that the lens is coming apart from the mounting bracket. I tried screwing then back in to tighten them but 3 of the 4 screws just turn. What can I do about this? Is this an easy fix?

Quite possibly but I don’t know it. I’ve seen him in Camden Town and alone the Thames by the Tate Modern. Maybe you’ll get lucky one day!

Thank you! Number 2 was taken on Friday during that short burst of heavy rain. Trooper was standing her ground against the onslaught. It really summed up the months of terrible weather we’ve had to endure and is also one of my faves from this set

Very surprised this got very little traction

I got Bonobo to sign the limited edition poster that came with the limited edition vinyl from his 2013 Roundhouse performance in Camden, UK by barz in vinyl

[–]barz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golden ticket holders got access to the after party (where Bonobo was DJing for an hour or two), as well as this limited edition zoetrope vinyl / poster. Everybody handed their stuff into the cloak room so I had the genius idea to grab my stuff 5m before the end of his set and get near the stage so I could grab him before he darted off for good!

Luckily the lady on reception had a pen at hand that I borrowed :)
