Take different routes.Perhaps visit some place you normally never do.>because I didn't plan them outIf you want to plan out and construct pictures unironically become a painter
>>4309205Garry winogrand was a disgusting talentless hack so i am directly opposed to “photowalking” especially in cities. Cameras should be carried with purpose and snapshitting random pedestrians is immoral.
>>4309278Morality is for the weak, I am going to take a photo of your ugly visage with the flash on.
Bringing your camera isnt about constantly seeking out a picture, its about having one when you see that moment that would otherwise be lost to time.
Study up and graduate from reactionary snapshitter to consummate gearfag
>>4309285This. The best camera is the one you have on hand.
>>4309282The virgin "i-i take photo that mean me chad"The chad "dont care ur filmin cunt ill pound ur ass and go chug a goon sack to celeberate cunt"https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/news/this-street-photographer-was-attacked-by-a-subject-and-filmed-the-whole-thing
>>4309205Quantity does not equal quality. Photography is just the degenerated form of cinema. You can take a million photos and they can only hope to be good if they all work towards the theme.Photographers almost noticed this with winogrand, who took photos so often it was like a random selection of frames from a movie, but they missed the point entirely.
>>4309205Try to meet people you care about in places you like with your camera. Don't plan anything in particular. If the moment is right, you won't resist snapping a few pictures.
Much less on me, I carry a camera in hand most places I go (cellphone)
>>4309278>>4309315samefag
I have a gr iii as a backup camera. You can take that thing anywhere and I do. Bought it 'open box, like new' 4 years ago thinking I probably overpaid and looking at the prices now it's actually appreciated in the value. Lol. Thanks YouTube!
>>4309205Nice to see another Dutch Anon posting.I've in a similar situation, but rather than a job I've got studies. I had the exact same experience with that quality drop off and also becoming bored of the same route every day. I commute 4 hours in and out of Amsterdam every day, so train photos got boring quick.I still keep a camera on me though, and I think what helped is that while the moments became rarer, on random nights out, or spontaneous walks I'd still occasionally get good photos. Also, sometimes an area can look really different when good lighting hits.I shoot less often, and not much on the commute anymore, but I think keeping a camera around allows you to capture the random beautiful moments in your life.
>>4309205take it as a challengethe more things are the same the better you have to be to take a better photo each timealso >>4309285 is correct
>>4309205you need to come up with a project to work on. try some new things. fatass
>>4309205>it's because of photo fatigueyou're taking the same types of photos and seeing the same types of photons online and getting tired of it so maybe move on to a new challenge. i can think of like 930253 things to do that are not "walk around and shoot candid photo of woman who is not looking at me" but im a genius so
maybe try using a flash with a 21mm lens and jump out from behind a trashcan shouting FOOOOGAABALAAAAA and get their face filling the frame as this happens
>>4311191i would see how this goes and maybe make a book after doing it for about 3 years
>>4311192You will get shot (literally) in about 3 days doing that bro
>>4311499shot with what
>>4309205Man photos of all the office workers in rush hour are so depressing, giving me bad memories OP of packed public transport on Monday morning with every single person looking miserable.Anyway your problem is simple, swap to shooting naked women and all your problems will be fixed, you are grinding out that job for something right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCehccEZzX4
why don't you read the creative act by rick ruben you turtle's cock
>>4313956>swap to shooting naked women and all your problems will be fixed,Anon you make it sound so simple, I know we all want to do this but getting women to actually agree is impossible unless you pay them. And the ones who will do it for pay aren’t necessarily the ones you want to shoot naked so better off just necking myself metaphorically I guess.
>>4314221nta but you just have to start being around the right (wrong) women. ime very liberal women and any woman who self-identities as an 'artist' or part of the lgbt stuff. Love the idea generally. I think it's because they want the attention, same as every woman, but if it's artistic nudes they feel released from the shame of it being strictly pornographic. They are, however, insufferable people to be around, so pick your poison I guess
it's illegal to take pictures of people in public in first world countries

>>4318246panaromas aren't street photography thirdie
>>4318259taking pictures of people in public is legal in first world countries, street photography is legal in first world countrieswas hoping to see what countries you were basing your claim onkind of seems like you just want to make stuff up or maybe simply misunderstanding the actual lawsseems like a really easy thing we can verify, if you care about truth
>>4318263>he doesn't know first world vs third worldhere's a hint if you don't have this you aren't a first worlder
i'll keep the thread tab open for ~2 hours btw so you can give up or ask for another hint anytime you'd like
>>4318275>>4318263>>4318274Voy a mantener la pestaña hilo abierto durante ~ 2 horas por lo que puede darse por vencido o pedir otra pista en cualquier momento que desee*sorry, it was rude of me not to also phrase it in your native language, especially as deepl is a click away
>>4318274so you don't have any specific country in mind and were just lying or misinformedid think it would be easier to just name a first world country and prove me wrong? id look like a fool!but i guess its easier for you to just make shit up and not answer simple direct questions
need another hint?just reply
>>4318283>deflect and dont answer>deflect and dont answer>deflect and dont answer>dumb amerimuttno wonder you think it's illegal to take pictures of people in public in first world countries
>>4318287not in our landscome here this summertry and take pictures of a person for the eurosyou'll learn then how the law works here :)
he means Germany you fucking mong
>>4318286You do know the EU is not a country, right? Different countries have different laws. I was hoping we could go through the laws from whatever example country you are referring to. The more people obfuscate, the more it seems like you don't know what your talking about.>>4318289In germany, it is legal to take pictures of people in public. If you disagree, you are either misunderstanding the actual law or applying extra conditions to the photos.
>>4318294wrong, you can take pictures __with__ people, not of __of__ people
inb4 he thinks it's allowed "as long as you don't try to sell it"
>>4318296Nope. That is the problem with making overly broad general statements like you have. There are many circumstances where it would in fact be legal, even in Germany.Initially, you only mentioned first world countries (not just Germany), so what other countries is it illegal? Or is Germany the only one close enough?
>>4318298ah it's a midwitcome here and try it
>>4318315Thank you for confirming you are incorrect.I'll ask again, what other first world countries do you think it's illegal in? Or is Germany the one and only first world country?
>>4318321just try it ladcome and find out hahahah
>>4318323You should stop posting, you really have nothing else to say.I live in France and I don't think it's permitted. But I do it anyway because who cares?
>>4318325just try it pierre
>i live in francekek it's a new worlderevery fucking timecome and get your skull bashed in if you're unluckyapprehended by the police if you're notyou have no clue what will happen here if you try that garbage
they'll do it with your own camera btwthey dont fuck aroundwould be a pretty cool picture. since more than 6 people will be in it it's legal to take :)heiBt panaromafreiheit matecome and learn in person
>>4318323Surely the response of someone who has the facts on their side.>>4318325Indeed legal and permitted in France.
You're not first world then.
>>4318335Not Frenchie, asking again, what other first world countries is it supposedly illegal in?>>431833 >>4318329>no facts, cant answer simple questions>mostly ad hom after ad hom>multiple threats of violenceSure are making Germans sound like the first worlders here
>>4318344hit enter too soon lad>>4318329see that post? i'm warning youit's a helpful tipyou can easily get your skull bashed in by the asi (asocial) people herestay safestay securestay the camera at homea requirement of a first world country is that it is illegal for strangers to take your picture in publicif other lands don't have it, they are not first world
>>4318345>a requirement of a first world country is that it is illegal for strangers to take your picture in publicThank you for clarifying Germany is not first world by your own criteria.Wish you could clarify which countries you do consider first world though.
>>4318346just try it>hururrrrr but if they say it's okif you get permission, it's by definition NOT street photography
>>4318347>just try itThat's not an argument. That only suggest that German people are prone to violence, which is not very first world, and also actually illegal.>if you get permission, it's by definition NOT street photographyI agree, totally irrelevant to everything above though. There are consent requirement in certain situations (mostly concerning publication), but even then, it's not illegal to take pictures of people in public.
>>4318348>it's not illegal to take pictures of people in public.wrongguess you'll be arrested when you try it
>>4318350>wrongAlso, not an argument. You are the one incorrect on the law. I suggest you read some more about your rights as a photographer in Germany. Since you don't know the laws, I'd be happy to link some more information on it for you. Here's the wiki summation for starters.Have you given up on their being any other first world countries?
>he thinks the anglophone one is accuratejust try it
>>4318357I love learning new information, so if you have something to add, love to see it.German wiki says the same, just more specifics on the restrictions. Doesn't say illegal.Found 1 recent & relevant court case in Germany, but that explicitly affirmed the legality of it.
>>4318364just feel free to try it
>>4318366Not sure I'd want to go to a country of people who would bash my skull in for doing something legal, doesn't sound very first world
>>4318367police carry weaponssociety defends societydo stay away then though, especially that camera
>legalit's illegal btw, you are a criminal the picosecond you press that shutterfocusing is premeditation btw
>>4318369You have no idea how badly this makes me want to get arrested for it. I would hang my mugshot on the wall
>>4318373please, come and try iti recommend dresden, lots of good opprotunities there
>>4318374>the charges being brought against you are one charge focusing with the intent to photograph. three charges of taking a photo without a loisence and 4659 charges of distribution of a photographI would btfo anyone who ever accused me of being a nophoto ever again. I would have legal proof of being a photo taker.
>>4318375come to dresden mate you'll enjoy ityou should try it
>>4318376did you ever wonder if maybe dresden deserved to be firebomed?
>>4318377again mate i recommend you try it

>>4318382try it lad
>>4309285this is what the general population has been doing with smartphones.
remember : try it you fucking cunts, especially in Dresden
>>4318480Is this your way of trying to organize an anon meetup?Actually, maybe the next Photo Challenge thread should be centered on Dresden schizo sightings.
>>4318480I'm out in Dresden RIGHT. NOW. I've been snapshitting since before dawn. Where you at nerd? You won't do shit.

giveitashot"try it" as they say
You really should take your meds.

you really should try it
>>4318603You sure someone isn't trying it already? Maybe you should walk the streets for a bit and see if you find someone taking pictures.
I got a real laugh out of watching and reading this thread. But there's a few things I should point out. 1. Germany is not a first world country. Hasn't been in a long time. 2. The reason for Germany's photography laws from what I've heard date back to them being protective of former Nazis. They didn't want to be photographed in public. 3. I personally photographed random people in Berlin (even in that s*** hole area around the O2 center), Munich, Lepzig, Duesseldorf. I've even interacted with the police in Berlin and Munich and they were cheerful and supportive of my activities. It may be because I've been told I look intimidating to bad people and inviting to others.Your experience may vary, I suppose.
>disinfocome and try it
You'll have to do better than just repeating the same thing like a feral animal. Do you have any specific laws you can cite, or any real world examples of how and when it's enforced?
i recommend empirical tests
Go back to your shithole, you're no German.
>>4318618>The reason for Germany's photography laws from what I've heard date back to them being protective of former Nazis. They didn't want to be photographed in public.hmm that's why there are no photographs of nazis in public...it's because germans are backwards, autistic pseudo-janteists who have "freedom" except at any point that freedom is interpreted to in any way threaten the social order and conformityi guarantee you publishing photos of someone without their permission is illegal in germany because someone once took a photo of someone dancing without their permission and the german people collectively went "oof ve cannot be having zat, no more pictures"I've never met a single german that hasn't come to america and complained about my country to me, unprompted, with an appeal to authority.>"i am havings ze trouble unterstanting vhy your leaders allow zis to happen, in geh-many ve ah not allowings people to carry ze guns arount and ve haff a very peaceful existence"consider how a tremendous sperg aspie would write laws in his perfect country and you'll have a 1:1 match with germany
