My New Project / 'SEQUENCE' / Experimental Street Photography
I wanted to introduce the project I've been working on for a while. And some of the short listed images from my recent excursion in Catalunya.
I love to shoot film. But I also shoot video and therefore I have a pretty nice Sony set-up and Canon in the past with me wherever I go, so it would be a shame to waste their capabilities, and also film is still a relitively precious luxury in my photography career.
For a while now, I've been collection a series of images of normal everyday people or objects or animals around the world. I tend to swing the my camera at waste height, pre-focused manually on my vintage lens using the distance meters as a judgement, and the continuous shutter function on or I just click manually.
This allows for the capture of nice candid moments of life, and they can be pieced together giving you a little more to the story than a single photograph but not quite enough to dampen your imagination.
It's fun to shoot like this. You'll be pleasantly suprised by the results. And dont be worried about having a slow camera, I prefer to click manually on my Sony anyway and use the x3 shutter setting on Canon DSLRs., but the continous function will help you get started.
Hope you like these, let me know what ones you think should be cut or kept for my final publication. Will probably pick 1 or 2 images in the end.
Have a goodnight.

I still vote for the dog that comes and sniff the camera @cottonlazarus .
Yeah. Thats my favourite too!
These are great : ) I love being able to see a story by seeing the progression. The old man with baby and the couple kissing are beautifully captured moments.
Im totally agree with you!! Those were my favorites too !!!
Good work @cottonlazarus
CONGRATULATIONS!!
And of course: THANKS FOR SHARING!!
Thank you @hada and @thatgrlbeth :)
Very interesting experiment @cottonlazarus, they all help the viewer to imagine a short movie in his head. Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.
Cheers!
Tried correcting the contrast issue. I think I need to stop editing with my brightness down, preserves battery but yeah, you know :)
I love these sequence photos. I really love that you chose to do them in black and white. Nice work!
I love the birds, but then I'm a birdwatcher! @cottonlazerus
I really love the seagul---my favorite bird. I watch them when we go to the beach in the Netherlands, the whole day they are windsurfing above, showing us the importance of enjoying the life.
Really nice series. I especially like the little puppy and the kissing couple :)
great project! everyday life brings the best stories and feelings, raw and real. love the fact that the pics are black and white, that - for me - brings a sense of nostalgia, and adds a little bit more to there stories you have captured!
