Korean fast food Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a photo of one of the endless stream of sidewalk food vendors from a popular shoping area in downtown Daegu. Day or night, breakfast or dinner, these vendors are always distributing their wares. From observation it seems these are as much a social event as much as sating the appetite, and no one ever seems to care about having their photo taken.

I am not sure why the exposure time isn't showing, it was 1/13 th at f/4.

The picture is cropped a bit but I can see it being done in many other ways. I sharpened it to the maximum because the focal point was a moving hand. The depth of field is shallow because of the large apeture. Please critique it as you will and if I hear something I haven't considered before I'll go re-shoot it this weekend.

hi greg

i can certainly see what you're trying to do here. but you know what, i would try nd do it a lot closer. if you say that the focus of the shot s the man's hand, get right in close and have a shot of his hand moving around the food. i'd even try and get a shot of the people eating/ordering the food with a low angle, throught the steam, f you know what i mean. this shot has a lot of potential which is what i like a lot. well done.

This is how I imagined South Korea looking. I'm excited about visiting someday -- my wife has some family in Korea. Nicely seen and captured,

Brian

ps. I like your lens - I've heard some great things about it.
