I have always loved to do the nitty gritty photography. I see a begger at the intersection and if I can take a picture of the person. I love to take pictures of the police in action, firefighters in action, EMS in action. I am wanting to work on my photography both still life and street photography. I want to be as good at Street Photography and still life photography as Robert, Maggie, Asher, Doug, and all the others here. Just like I have been doing with the still life with Asher, Robert, and Maggie I put myself in every-bodies hands. I want to learn and I want to be the best I can be not just a so and so who takes a decent photo every once in a while. So please tell me what you think.
As everybody who I have been working with knows I finally moved away from the GE x600 to a Canon EOS Rebel T5 DSLR with a 18mm to 55mm lens. I went out Saturday to learn my new camera and see what I could capture. While I was at the Mirage Hotel and Casino trying to get the perfect Waterfall photo there was a accident not 50 feet from me. Since I belong to a fire photography site and love anything that has to do with the Fire Service I naturally took a bunch of photos.
After they made sure that there wasn't injuries the fire department was getting ready to leave and they were sitting in the intersection and I thought this was a classic photo when I took it of just how much people never pay attention to what is really going on around them.
This is the UN-edited photo.
And this is the one that posted on the firefighting site that I belong too. I cropped out a lot of the useless stuff in the photo, and I say useless because those that are on these sites do not want to hotel stuff and the scenery around the rigs and scene for the most part.
Any and all comment are welcome. I want to learn.
