Syderney streetsI was in Sydney a couple of weeks ago, I didn't have much time shooting so I ended up taking a whole lot of shots in about 3 hours.
Here are a little selection What do you think? C&C welcomed, the harsher the better!! Harry Nikon D80, MB-D80, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, SB-800, Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3
Various bits of borrowed/stolen glass/speedlights etc. - zero style or taste. http://harryfisherphotos.smugmug.com
I really like the first one, nice B&W treatment and I like the composition.
#2 A little awkwardly composed (bits of people cropped out), I like the moving train, but the people don't engage me. That could be the point, Sydneysiders are boring ? #3 Again I don't dig the framing, but I do find the poses of the the people more engaging this time. #4 Not a fan of the crop, I'd lose the bottom section (including the witches hat)
Thanks alot for the feedback, #1 is full color, just a very monochromatic scene, thanks all the same.

Really like 1st & 3rd, the moped is classicly framed (if there is such an expression), and the 3rd epitomises Sydney life eg two people can catch the same train, same carriage into the city for decades yet never once speak to each other. It is such a different city to Melbourne.

I like 1 - the use of negative space is great. My only quibbles are the lack of detail around the front tyre (that could be my crappy work monitor) and the horizontal lines aren't quite horizontal.
The two Wynyard(?) station shots don't do a lot for me - they look a little too much like candid shots for the sake of the shot, rather than trying to tell a story - that's just my opinion. I like 4 - the composition really works for me, particularly the implied fluro orange ark made from bottom right to top left via the witches hat and fluro vests. Good work. Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
