Capturing The Moment ~ Street Photography

avatar

Greetings lovely people.
I already promised that sooner or later I will be sharing my street photography piece.
And today I am sharing the first set whose major emphasis is on Human movement
If you check out these images or photos closely then you will notice that there is something artistic about them because of the work of editing on them.
And I hope you have fun going through them and also at the end you tell me which you like best and why.

The first one with the man in jeans and blue is one of my favorite of all. I took this shot from beneath while approaching the man.

Mind you, he wasn't aware I was doing that, cause here in my country you dare not take random pictures of a person cause it looks a little suspicious and the said person involved can sue you or you would be in serious trouble for doing that. The image was taken from a junction as you can see vehicles parked to load passengers

There is something incredible about this second photo, ask me what? 😁
This photo in a way portrays love, oneness with no form of racism.
As you can see one of the guys is a light skin person and the other a dark skin. The light skin man can be considered to be a white man while the dark skin a black man.
We shouldn't encourage racism but rather, unity, love, and oneness.
This photo seems to send that message and I like this shot too.

There might not really be anything specific about this photo but looking at it closely, a thought came into my mind suddenly. I remember when my immediate brother was warned by my parents against wearing short pants out on the street. But the funny thing here is that many guys are fond of short pants and they don't see anything wrong with it. Well, they say wearing short pants out on the street doesn't make one look responsible. I don't know about that though because we all have our different beliefs, culture, and standard of living.
So guys tell me, is there anything wrong with wearing short pants?

We see this often. People or a group of people talking or communicating by the roadside while passerby minds their businesses and go on with their quest. This shot was taken from a moving vehicle, I guess that is why the photo didn't come out as I wished or wanted but it isn't bad at all either.

Look beyond the guy with groceries bag and focus on the two men by the roadside. That is also the love and unity I was talking about earlier. Men's way of greeting is easily identified by a handshake.

And NYSC corper checking out sneakers by the roadside. Most guys display their products especially footwear by the roadside so that passersby can see easily and buy if they find any they like. It seems that is what this corper was doing while I captured the moment.

Guys on the move 😁 I tend to like the way these two moved. This is also one of my favorites too.
I wonder what they got in their nylon or grocery bags. This is quite artistic too.

The first shot of a lady with a guy bypassing each other. For some reason the lady threw her face away while passing the guy, it kinda funny because it is what most ladies do here 🤣😅 but well, I don't know the motives behind her own actions but I think the shot came out nicely.

And from the look of things here, one can easily tell that this is a market square. A market is always a busy place with different people trying to market their goods and services.
A perfect capture too. Simple and clean.

Another shot from the market. This captured a lot of people at a time and without missing words, this is what a typical market square looks like.

Tomatoes, one of my best vegetables. I buy it most times when I see fresh ones. Though when I saw this guy's own, I was just returning from work and I didn't have enough cash on me so I just eyed the tomatoes, took a shot, and went along on my way lol.

PSX_20210331_145957~2.jpg

Team Handshake again Hehehe. You mostly see guys exchanging a handshake, especially on this street. Can I shock you that all the photos with people exchanging a handshake is from the same location? street? On different days? Well, this is how much people here relate with one another.

PSX_20210331_150529~2.jpg

And here is my third best. The artistic-looking street especially the house behind.
This photo looks more like a painting than a real shot.
I like this gloomy weather and atmosphere as well.

PSX_20210331_150027~2.jpg

The couple's movement. You need no one to tell you that these two are couples because of the same material they put on.
I captured this from a junction, the center of Uyo main town. And yeah, I like that move from those two lol.

PSX_20210331_150639~2.jpg

The people in this particular photo are almost invisible. But I captured them anyway.
From behind they look rather tiny because of the distance between them and my camera.

Another cool and clean shot. That moment it just stopped raining and you step out on the street😌 how I love raining season. You can tell it was raining from the umbrella this young girl is carrying.

PSX_20210331_150113~2.jpg

At first, my attention was drawn to the man in milky color clothe when I suddenly saw the second man in the middle of the road with walking sticks. Sadly he had one of his legs cut off. And his walking was aided by the sticks he carried.

The penultimate shot is of a lady with a tray of bananas on her head on her way to sell them. I captured this unintentionally but it came out nicely.

PSX_20210331_145602~2.jpg

The final shot is just a random click of a man. I think he was rushing to somewhere, I just took random clicks and the camera caught him.

And that is it for my street photography for today.
I capture every moment. It has become an intentional act. I am into street photography and I tend to like how the photos come out.
Tell me, how is today's work? Give me feedback.
Thank you for stopping by and engaging my blog.
I really appreciate everyone that always finds my post worthy of their upvotes, comments, and reblog.

You should have allowed the man see you while you were taking the shot. Lol
You will be sued immediately unless you bribe him with some Hive in your wallet. 😂😂😂

Funny enough that was my first front photo before I later changed it to the first man.
You made a good choice. Thanks for stopping by!
