SNAP, CRACKLE, POP!
Street Photography on the Atlanta Beltline
By: Zoey Nelson and Chavon Vargas
Every photo that you’re about to see portrays Street Photography on the Eastside BeltLine, a former railway corridor in Atlanta that has been transformed into a multi-use trail. On the BeltLine, there are so many great things to photograph: from runners, walkers, cyclists, and dogs, to buildings, sculptures, and murals. Enjoy!
Each photo has its own message that can be seen. Independence, friendship, and the ability to love your own looks. Not only do these photos capture different people, they also capture the different sceneries and landscape of the BeltLine in the background.
A brilliant smile, and a cool shaded guy with each one getting the perfect angle for the perfect pictures.
While on our journey of the Belt Line this stunningly, gorgeous woman. She gave her permission to be portrayed in such an amazing photo, with an upright angle, and a blurred background so that the main focus is the woman.
While strolling further along the Belt Line, these two lovers showed their feelings and emotions through each of these captured photos. True Love’s kiss and the genuine smiles on a perfect sunny day.
These photos show a technique in Street Photograpy called “the decisive moment”. “The decisive moment” is when you capture a photo with the perfect timing. Everything in the picture comes together in a perfect moment.
What makes this photo so great, is that it is being taken from another person’s view. The focus in her hair, clothes, and backpack sets the right tone as the world in front of her is blurred.
The art displayed all around the Beltline is truly inspiring, amazing, and beautiful. The different colors and shapes and textures that you see is very appealing to the eye.
This photo is just extravagant altogether. The angle of the photo, the brilliant colors that combine to make this building really pop, and the different shapes that can be identified with the eye.
Just to witness these photos is a blessing! The black and white color scheme with the sun included is just marvelous to view, and the color contrast between these two photos. Truly terrific.
What’s the most attracting piece of these photos, is that each dog shows an emotion, and have their own distinct look. One with two different color eyes, the next with cute fluffy fur and two different colors, and the last that’s really happy with white fluffed fur.
This photo portrays “the decisive moment” perfectly. The emotion, the vibe, and the joy in the photo brings out the best in this day. Captured at the perfect moment, these two teens wanted a photo they both could enjoy being a part of. I like that this photo was taken in motion and shows the curve of the belt line, the shape of the bridge, the ray of sunlight above our peers, and the captured background with civilians, nature and art and it all just brings this capture together.
Each of these photos capture nothing but positive vibes and happy faces.
For a couple seconds, just at least for a good 5 seconds, take a view at this picture. The art, the people, the shapes and all the different colors captured into this shot.
