In this post, I try to explain that a photo may look like "Street" when in fact it's anything but...
Last April, a friend and I drove up to Nederland, a small town in the southwest part of Boulder County, 8,228 feet above sea level. We ate lunch at a diner.
The place was empty except for one of the owners, Dot. I asked her permission to take a few test picture. My intent was to grab a few snapshots to evaluate later. If I liked the pictures, I'd come back with the A7r II, an 18mm lens, and a tripod.
Using a Pen-F, I zoomed out to 12mm, the widest focal length. Some days later, I reviewed the photos in Adobe Bridge. Upon first glance, I was disappointed. When I noticed that Dot appeared in every frame, the pictures became more interesting.
Then when I cropped one of the pictures, I noticed the faces of the other two women. Hmm, that grabbed my interest. I figured it would be possible, albeit challenging, to pull a story out of the scene. After several Photoshop sessions, I got it to work.
The final image could perhaps pass as a "Street" photo. In actuality, it's far from it. ... It was sheer luck I didn't notice Dot in the frame as I concentrated on capturing the diner's interior.
