This Saturday I decided I'm ready to get back into street photography. This is a quick scan from 35mm Pan F / Nikon FE and 50 f2. It's a nice fast little camera for shooting on the street.
I really dislike scans from film. Darkroom prints are the way to go and then scan. There's just not as much depth and feeling with a film scan IMO.

Lynn - I regard this as the consummate street portrait because it immediately engages me as a viewer. I get that he's a returned serviceman straight away and I also get that he is immensely proud, has seen things he wishes he hadn't, and has an important story to tell. You could have taken many pictures of this gentleman but I can't imagine that any others would reveal quite as much to the viewer about an amazing subject. A wonderful portrait.

Thanks! I chatted with him for a few minutes before making this portrait. He had served in many of the world's hot spots, not just Iraq and Afghanistan but also Congo and other somewhat wild places. A fascinating man. I'm glad I managed to get this portrait. I only wish I could give him a copy - sadly I didn't get his contact details.

Rangefinder -- I usually find this is the ideal distance for me. I like a bit of context in the shot, and I start to trust the focus a lot less.

I think the photos are more intimate and engaged if you get close. However, it is important not to exploit your subject. I usually use a 28 or 35 mm lens or equivalent. These are with an 18 mm (28 mm eq.)
