This topic has been traditionally our most controversial (as well as most giving) topic on the Photo forum.

Different people have different ideas. That should be a good thing in general. At some point there is some sort of consensus and everybody are mutually unhappy, but at the same time, hopefully, everybody have learned a bit more from each other.

Agree totally, though users need to post into a thread which they feel the image falls into right?

Partly so and partly in a way that this is a community where everybody should find the best ways to get along.

I'm not qualified enough to say if for example your photo belongs under this topic. If our more experienced members give better advices, I think it's worth of listening. I'm more than happy to learn from more experienced photographers what the definition is or what it could become after a good discussion. However discussion simply need to be polite, no matter what. This as a general advice and related generally to the forum.

I agree, I have no intention of fighting about what image should be in what category, I did not join or post here to fight or disrespect anybody, we all shoot for work or pleasure.

I join here to talk to other photographers in Thailand, thats all, if any of my images offend or are posed in the wrong section then feel free to delete.

I don't think you can be categoric about what constitutes 'street' and what doesn't ... there are so many shades of grey. I certainly don't think an image necessarily needs a human subject to make a persuasive image. Sometimes it's the absence of a human subject that makes an image utterly compelling. An image of the piles of possessions of concentration camp victims (shoes for example) springs to mind ... those images are all the more powerful for the absence of people.

MrHitchens image of a bank of unused phone booths (whilst not the greatest image ever made [apologies, Mr Hitchens]), does say something interesting about redundancy ... that everything has its time (which then passes). At least it does to me.

1. I clicked 'like' before posting. To me, this photo has an almost 1920s England feel to it.

2. I'm just waiting for someone to complain it isn't a street...... whistling.gif

Thank you and yes I never intended it to be the greatest image,555

Redundancy of the old Phone booths these days was all I was trying to show in a still image.

​Would never of been a great shot though something we all can understand.

here u said where ur photo should be

TO me "traditional street photography" does include a person/people

Love ur above image with the guy swinging. IMHO; i think it would even be better if u cropped a bit off the right,

from the upright pole.
