Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Hi guys, I've recently gotten into street photography, and I'm wondering if I'm able to get some tips off some more experienced street shooters. I've always admired street photography as it captures very unique moments, but have never really gotten around trying it as I find it quite confronting shooting people close up with a DSLR. A bunch of friends got me a Fujifilm X100 for my birthday earlier this year and thought that it would be perfect to start going around doing a bit of street shooting. here are a few shots for your brutal critisim. Thanks!  This one was shot in Beijing last september, I really liked the mans facial expression and how he was sitting on his motorcycle. 40d + 24-70mm f2.8  This one was shot in Phuket from a tuk tuk, a truck full of workers drove by and I quickly took a snap. 40d + 17-50mm f2.8  I took this one while waiting to meet up with some friends in Pitt St Sydney. 40d + 50mm f1.8

Lovely contrasts and tones you're getting with the black and white work. Also good start to street photography. The subjects and composition draw you in, especially the first one. Looks like you were pretty close to the guy when you took the photo.
Keep it up.

B&W conversions are very nice. Your images have a nice 'raw' touch to them. Keep developing that theme.
Regards

Thanks for the postive comments guys. Really appreciate it =)
I've since taken more shots with the X100, and boy is this a great little camera for street photography! ISO performance is great, the optical viewfinder is nice and bright, and the image quality is just fantastic. The autofocus can be a bit slow, but doesn't really bother me that much.

Agreed. I have an X100, too.
The first and the third work well, the second not so much for me because there is no real engagement in the image and it's not abstract enough for that not to matter.
