May 2025 - Street Buskers
About the Image(s)
My street image for May 2025 is of two street buskers playing music and entertaining bystanders at Fishermans Warf at San Francisco. This image was taken with my iPhone 16 pro max at 1/960 sec. and f/1.8. Interesting to note the set up that these musicians have and the wiring for their equipment behind them. Makes one think of the logistics these guys employ to enhance their performance.

Great characters and an image of human interest. I hope their viewers stop to enjoy their music and give a tip. The figures in the background seem to be in their own world. Posted: 05/08/2025 09:22:11
I would prefer to see from another angle focusing only on the man on the right and his backround, so we can enjoy it and leave out the general noise. Posted: 05/09/2025 14:20:53
Thank you Marevi for your comments and suggestion. My understanding of street photography is to show the environment in which the subject or subjects are photographed.In this image it was my idea to show the area around the Buskers in which they perform for a living. ? Other comments from the group is most welcome for my education in "what makes a good street image" Posted: 05/11/2025 07:32:41
of course I can understant your point of view of "is to show the environment in which the subject or subjects are photographed". but as we want to make a good street image,otherwise an art photography, we have to change some of our attitute. we have to be more focushed in a point.
