This episode for Street Focus is powered by Freshbooks.
Today my guest co-host for this new episode is my friend, photographer, author, educator and podcaster Ibarionex Perello. You may know him as the voice behind The Candid Frame podcast. Together we answer questions by Leo Deegan and Jake Randle about how much of street photography is serendipity and how much is preparation and whether sharpness really matters in street photography.
And The Winners are…
The winners for the last ‘Night Time' Street Challenge are Jan Lipton and Justin Cliffe.
Ibarionex tells you why he chose this photograph by Jan Lipton from Switzerland as the winning shot. You can see more of Jan's work on Instagram.

The light outside and on the shiny floor, plus the shadows, caught my eye in this shot at Hampton Court Place, one of King Henry VIII Royal Palaces.
Colin, the picture did not upload. Maybe it was too big? If all else fails, try a different browser.
Thanks!!
Second time lucky with a max size of 600px instead of 800.
I snapped this one with my Sony A7 one day. I was very lucky that all of the kids were looking out the window at the same time. I’m still not sure what they were so fascinated with. I absolutely loved the light in this frame.
Amazing shot!!
Thank you!

Underpasses are the perfect place to take high contrast photos with crisp silhouettes. I like the graffiti on the steps and the unusual group of three people.

Into the light
Whoa, i am slightly intimidated.. So many great shots already.. I’ll need to keep shooting to hopefully snap one that can even dare to compete! 🙂
LIGHT: Istanbul market, Nikon D600, 24-80mm
Bicycle and streetlamps shadows created by strong light.
Captured with my analog Leica M3 on Kodak T-Max 400 film.
Party people. These people saw me walking around with my camera and asked me to snap their picture. The light was crazy due to the indoor live music which had all the strobes and colored lights swirling and flashing everywhere. I love how it came out with highlighted band in the haze and my patrons defined by the shadows and almost blown out figure of the guy with his outstretched hand

Sorry that you are experiencing problems Fenix. I have no idea why Disqus makes things so inconsitant. Maybe try a different browser?
The Washington, DC Metro system has some very long escalators. These long rides up and down make for some good photo opportunities, this is one of them.

Cheers! its Beer-o-clock!
In a crowded craftbeer joint in LongStreet, Cape Town, I wasnt expecting to make any more images after a photowalk in the city centre. I merely went for a wind-down with my friend and having a much needed rest for my feet. I was drawn by the lampshade made of beer bottles and how it made a little pool of light on the guys that were having a very energetic conversation.

Taken in Ogden, Ut. I did both the color and a b&w, but I liked how the beer popped out in the color. Yours is one of my favorite podcasts.

Hey Valerie, submitted this one but have decided on another. I deleted it, but now it is appearing here still as a “Guest” upload. Not sure what’s up with it! Sorry!
No worries, I won’t consider it as an entry. Thanks for letting me know!
