People on the move
People on the move
After a discussion in comments on someone else's post recently I realized a couple of things, one I knew actually, I am not very comfortable taking street candid shots of people, and although I did try last year to do more of these type of shots, I really did not do that many so that is something I will try and work on again this year.
And secondly, I also realized that I try to avoid getting people in photos most of the time, and from some posts I saw including people in shots even not as the subject can give a sense of scale and context and it is something I will also be working on this year to change.
And with that all said I thought I would share a couple of shots with people in them in this post.

This shot is taken at one of the many events we have n Milford,of a couple of police oficers cycling around the city and event.
The number of events here in Milford is another thing I love about our small city, I think this was taken at the Oyster Fest, which is our biggest event in the city with shops set up along the green many events around the downtown area, and a big stage setup ont he baseball fiels will live music playing all day.

And here is a little Milford Fire Department vehicles scooting around the same event, some of the other Events we have in Milford are, the Milford Irish Festival, the Octoberfest, various fairs on the green and many others that do not come to mind at the moment,

Want to have your post on the map too?
My dad was the same way. He used to do weddings and senior pictures and stuff like that but he always much preferred taking pictures of nature.
I almost have enough gear to consider doing events and such and have been asked many times to do them but I don’t feel I have enough experience in that field so always decline and suggest other photographers I know but the real reason is I prefer nature and city plus the pressure on wedding photographers to get it right every time is not something I really want to have to deal with
These are great shots, we love candid. People on the go :)
Thanks I will try to more candid street shots this year, it will be a struggle but I will try and force myself out of my comfort Zone
We seek out local events as well. Do a lot of people watching. Rarely purposefully photograph people. Feel like I am intruding.
These are fun shots and it is natural to take pictures of events. And events have to have people. 🙃
Indeed When I go to events I seldom take shots of just people but it is somehting i want to try and do more of this year, it will be out of my comfort zone but I will try
Good way to stay warm :-)
indeed, but staying warm that day wasnt hard it was a nice day :)
Haha... good start - with some figures of authority!!! :D
I think they are cool...
Thanks kindly
Let’s see if I can do better this year 😎
I will join you in this kinda 'challenge'... I too have this 'shyness' of snapping random people on the street - I most likely catch shots from the car so they don't see me! But I love street shots... so...
Sounds like we are very similar let’s motivate and push each other this year to get out of our comfort zone and do more street candies
Yeahhh, you'll see the results soon... if I succeed... lol
Well I am being realistic I will wait till it warms up a little before I try doing this :)
Lol... Good idea! I will probably start when I am on holiday next... April probably!!
LOL or are we both just finding excuse sot put it off lOL
Milford sounds like a great place to live. You got nice photos of people, JJ.
It truly is such a charming city 😎
Nice captures!
With everything going on in today’s world police are weird about people taking pictures or recording. Great captures tho...Steem On!

Ohh yes in NYC I probably would never take shots like these ;)
