Bruh, I posted pics from two Canon cameras and a Fuji.

Register and upload your pics. You still have time

Whatever you got, upload them shits. I got two old friends uploading pics they took with their phones right now.
 
I saw the street photography example they used and ended up picking 3 photos that was big on composition, colors, etc like their example

Those are dope. I didnt know you did street photography, I thought you only shot astrophotography.

Nah, I don't really do much in the way of street photography, I can't seem to get it right. That said I've made attempts at it, but not many:

I think part of the problem is that I don't really see everyday life as interesting enough to shoot, so when I do try it just looks like someone taking random ass pictures.

I mostly shoot landscape and nature. The stuff I post in the ABW Pic Threads is generally a good representation of what I shoot. I've tried shooting the moon and did try shooting the galaxy, but either I'm getting the settings wrong as hell or just don't have the lenses for it, 'cause that shit almost never comes out right.
 
See, this is the kinda shit I'm talmbout... I really thought there was a shot here, and someone else would prolly find it and nail it, but this shit just ain't it to me. I really don't think me and street photography mix well.

What if you put it in b+w or do a cinematic color scheme?

As a general rule, I rarely ever manipulate the pics I take with the exception of rotation if I didn't have it flat to the horizon, or some amount of cropping (as I did on the last 5 pics I posted in the 2026 Pic Thread earlier today).

This is that same pic in black and white:

I mainly focus on composition and lighting when I do street photography.

The only time that takes a back seat is if I'm capturing a moment with people. Something like this:

Here’s a shot I took of my son using light to make a silhouette

I suggested the different filter because sometimes that’s all it takes. I took this photo below and it looked bland but when I played around with the color scheme, the below color made it look more dramatic. In real life the natural colors wasn’t anything special

Maybe you can try from different angles and not straight. Like from ground level or looking down level?

What setting did you used for the galaxy?

I used my Tamron 28-80mm lens with a 10 sec exposure, f/3.5, and ISO-400 and my 50mm Yonguo f/2 prime set to f/2.8, iso-800, with an 8 second exposure.

My Canon 18-55mm would probably be better if it's aperture could open more than f/3.5. It's an APS-C lens where the other two are full frame so there's the whole 1.6 multiplier at work on the other two as well.

But, I took those shots with my old camera, the newer one has shown a lot of promise so I'll probably revisit this in the spring. Hopefully I'll also have my hands on a nicer lens with a wider aperture by then. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 prime which might help, Tamron has a few that are interesting as well.

You better off with the prime. I shot mine with a Sony 24mm f/1.4

They're not easy to find for cheap for me, but I'm still looking. I did just discover the Rokinon manual focus 10mm f/2.8 EF-S mount lens and they run about $180 used, but I gotta wait to pick one up.

 
I'm def grabbing a telephoto lens that goes out to at least 400mm, but I'm also thinking about picking up a 85, 90, or a 100mm prime lens in June. Right now it's looking like either a Rokinon 85mm, a Tamron 90mm, or a Canon 100mm. Doing the research but right now the Tamron looks like it might end up being the one.

Photography can be one really expensive hobby.
