Comic-Con is a San Diego institution and photographing people around the convention center can make for great street photography. Jim braved the chaos for the 1st time this year and shared a few moments.
One of Jim’s favorite things about photography, is the camera’s ability to freeze and blur time. In-camera movement, panning, and slow-shutter photography are perennial favorite styles.
Panning is challenging but when done properly, but can result in unique images.
Photographing a non-moving subject amongst the fast moving is another fascinating & challenging style.
Jim did not share any Emotions-themed photos but photos with motion blur might be Perfectly Imperfect.
He caught an afternoon when Bruce Parker, Oceanside Trenchcoat Guy, was walking north of the Oceanside Pier. If you are unfamiliar with the retired mail carrier. He protects himself year-round from the sun by wearing a long, black trenchcoat. Many people unfamiliar with his routine, especially when he walks into the surf. Tourists stare and sometimes dial for help thinking there’s something wrong. He is very friendly and loves talking to people. He has a cult following. So if you see him, don’t hesitate to talk to him or take his photo.
