SPORTS FLYING By Donna Deng Canon 5D mark 4 100-400mm F29 1/20s ISO 100 Editor’s comment: This is a very well captured action shot. It looks like the photographer intentionally tilted the photo to make it appear as if the cyclist is going downhill; unfortunately, this choice unbalanced the background elements. 66
SPORTS POND SKIM By Ziming Zheng Nikon D810 70-200 F2.8 F4 1/ 2500s ISO 200 Editor’s comment: This shot is very well done but unfortunately, it’s a bit overexposed. 67

Daniel Tu FG STREET 编辑导言– 涂军 Editor’s Words 街拍一般是指在在公共场合没有刻意摆弄下拍 Street photography generally revolves around to unplanned 下的自然发生的事情的瞬间。这个瞬间包含了一些 moments and spontaneous incidents in public. These moments 人文的涵义，如人在特定环境下的表情和动作,情 often contain some humanistic connotations, such as 感的冲击，或对社会现象的思考，或人与周遭社会 people's expressions and actions in a specific environment, or 互动中产生的美的光影。用旅人过客的眼光打量周 emotional impact through social activities.

Each street photo opportunity is like its own miniature journey —you can feel the poetic moments of the world revolving around you. The artistic charm of street photography rests on the capture of fleeting randomness and uncertainty. It is an impromptu creation, a unique combination of light, shadow, color, objects, and people under one's own feelings and emotions. 69
STREET THIS FORD By Sheena Gu Nikon Z5 24-200 mm f5.3 1/500s ISO 100 Post Processing PS Town Center Car Show Editor’s comment: The shadow from the photographer herself is as classical as the old Ford. It’s the perfect combination of still and life, bold colors and light shadows – such a great shot! 70
STREET Editor’s comment: When contrasted against each other, the slanted people and the straight lines on the roof create an interesting visual effect that makes you wonder which line is the “real” one, and the pattern of people and lines also creates a rhythm. A good photo is not only visually appeasing, but also makes you think twice. SUBWAY ELEVATOR By Daryl Luk Mobile During the rush hour, subway passengers take the subway elevator to go down to the platform. 71
STREET 奔 驰 By Donna Deng Canon 5d mark 4 35 mm . 24-105 mm F11 1/30s ISO 100 黄昏时的追焦拍摄。 Editor’s comment: Great use of techniques to follow a fast-moving motorcycle while delivering the feeling of speed, and the early evening lights also add to the rich colored lines. However, the \"freeze\" effect on the main subject isn’t fully effective. Additionally, the tilted road feels unnatural – although it adds some angles that makes the overall lines more interesting. 72
STREET Editor’s comment: A good angle here captures the entire scene with the dominant central tower, and the cloudy sky adds an interesting background. A focal point of interest, with some human expressions/movement (try slow motion!), would add more dynamics to the picture. FLYING By Ziming Zheng I took this photo at Canobie Lake Park. People were so happy to fly in the sky. Thanks to the wide angle camera of my iPhone, I could capture this special moment from a lower vantage point. 73
STREET BIRD AND MAN By Ann Fong 春天里的故事 大孙 把老年中心的朋友 送的一小包饼干 当早点带去了湖边 撕开包装后 鸟儿就在他身边的枝头 跳来跳去 大孙把饼干掰碎 放在掌心 伸出手去 它就飞到手心里 挑了块大的 Sony ILCE-7M3 Sony FE 100-400mm f5.6 1/1600s ISO 250 EV-1.0 Post Processing LR 74
STREET Editor’s comment: This photo captured the infectious smile of the intriguing lady, and the blurred background brings out a sharp focus on the main figure. Composition-wise, it might be preferable to shift the subject to the left so her eyeline and the person on the right side can have some interaction. In addition, the partially obscured person on the left doesn’t add much to the photo, and could be omitted. A GIRL IN A STREET PARK By Yan Johnson Nikon Z9 Nikon 70-200 mm F3.2 1/100s ISO 100 75
