Friday Photo Prompt - Street Photography

This weekend look for a scene with some possibilities. The window dresser created one for me, and the space around her suggested that someone passing by could shift the feel of the image. The first shot shows how it looked when I arrived.

Then I waited.

Introducing a new photography newsletter from The Creative Guide.

The Art of Seeing is a newsletter which is focused on how attention shapes what we capture. Every week, we look at one photograph, the story behind it, and how light, balance, and meaning come together in ordinary scenes.

Friday Photo Prompt #2: Play With Intersection of Thirds

Explore how placement changes perception. A small shift in where you position your subject can change the entire feeling of an image. It can create tension, calm, balance, or imbalance, even when everything else remains the same.

The Art of Photography: Blurring People

This image uses a slow shutter speed to turn walking people into ghostlike shapes. The photograph is really about the train station, but the people add movement & scale.

The Art of Photography: Blurring Falling Water
This image captures motion without losing detail in the water itself. It uses a technical response to achieve a creative effect.

Friday Photo Prompt #1: Street Light at Dusk

This week’s Friday Photo Prompt invites you to pause at dusk and notice how a single street light transforms its surroundings. In that small pool of light, the ordinary becomes quietly cinematic.

All along Huntington Beach, these alien-like pods stretch for what feels like miles. It was January — the sun piercing, the sand scorching.

I ran toward Tower 12 & dropped, waiting for the lone figure to align with the golden spiral.

A street violinist pours emotion into his performance, unfazed by passersby. One of the nuns casts a brief, contemplative glance his way, as if caught between the rhythm of duty and the pull of music.

A sea-stripped tree trunk creates striking foreground interest in this coastal scene. Its weathered form contrasts with the vast shoreline beyond. Black-and-white tones enhance texture and mood highlighting light shadow and decay.

Torre del Oro at dusk, Seville

Seville’s clear skies made for the perfect blue moment shot. The light fades unevenly, creating that rich color transition. My rule? If a scene makes you go “Ooooh!”—shoot it.

A tripod helps too!
