Streetwalker Reports

[QUOTE=Stormrider;4427172]If you're going to shoot while going by, you should cut your shutter speed. It can be compared to taking photos at the 500, except worse. There, you're setting still and the surrounding landscape is too, so you'll end up with a beautiful background and a highly blurred subject. But from the car, the landscape and the subject is moving because you're sitting still but in a moving focal point. Put the camera in manual adjustment mode and cut shutter speed and it will leave it open less time. However the image data and color saturation will probably be less. The higher the mp of your cam, the less this will be affected as the assembly that processes it is higher quality. But to make up for the higher mp (which means more data to process) it's probably best to reduce the image size in the settings a bit, which will make the photo unfortunately less clear if it is blown up. Your best bet on shooting walkers is to not wait until you are right beside them. Shoot from a distance down the street with the cam pre-zoomed. Shoot a burst shot and chances are one will be better than the others. I'd also not use auto focus since you're moving. Play a bit with some focus settings and distances until you find one that floats your boat. I process around 5-600 pictures a day between my two jobs and one of them is for a paranormal investigation team, so I've had to learn the hard way about camera limitations. Oh...one more thing. Cell phone cameras are the WORST with moving subjects. Just a limitation of the tech to this point.[/QUOTE]I actually do shoot from a bit of a distance with the camera pre-zoomed. I cannot imagine trying manual focus while driving. With the camera already zoomed, the field of view is pretty narrow and just getting the gal in the viewfinder is difficult. I have tried manual settings and they haven't been any better. I have the best luck if I happen to be at a red light or stopped behind a turning car with a gal walking or standing not too far away. I'm happy enough with what I get.

I was not suggesting that you try to focus while driving. NNNNOOOOO! Take some shots while not driving. Manual focus at that distance. Then try like hell to shoot your shots from that distance while driving. If you shoot your wad too soon (see what I did there), then try the burst mode. Most cameras have that and will continue shooting until you lift your finger from the button. Others will just shoot a preset number, like 3. Also, to get shutter speeds down with out jacking around too much, quite a few cams have sports settings that do a lot of this automatically. I get the viewfinder issue. One of mine has a flip viewfinder that works very well for times when it may be a bit difficult. Hope that helps. But you do great with what you're getting. I have my cams with me all the time, but they've been modified for the other gig (usually at a cost that exceeds the present value of the camera), so I'm not inclined to keep them where someone can grab them and go. I won't risk them for shooting shots of the girls any longer because we have some things cooking on media productions that would be too lucrative.

Out on two wheels tonight letting the stink blow off, around 8:45 pm I noticed a leggy lass in denim Daisy Dukes getting pinched by uncle LEO on E 10th at Linwood Square. No doubt she was caught littering.

I was just surveying for the evening Sat.

Was checking out the west side stroll last night just after sundown. Was on 12th St approaching Tibbs. Saw standing on the corner by the old storefront a real leggy gal in some tiny daisy dukes. Because of the low light I couldn't tell if she was 20 or 40 but those legs really got my attention and I wanted to meet her. Traffic up and down Tibbs was fairly heavy and I wasn't able to immediately cross for the pick up. Not unexpectedly a car turned in right by her and I watched those legs get in and leave me behind! She did not look familiar to me, medium length hair, slender and loooong legs. Was it one of you that got her?

Right around 5. Lots of traffic. No gals strolling for the half hour I drove around. Had decided I had enough and turned from Tibbs onto 12th by the old storefront. As I made the turn a pretty darn good looking gal was coming out of the alley and I pulled up to her and offered a ride. She didn't say a word and just waved me on. In my rear view mirror I saw her head south on Tibbs so I made three rights and was headed back north hoping I'd see her to get a pic. I did! I'm 99% sure she is a SW but with her coming out of that alley I'm thinking she had just had a customer and was heading to her favorite pharmacy. Didn't recognize her but I'll be on the lookout for sure.

I've been looking for her every since. In the last 3 or 4 weeks I have lost 4 nice looking girls to the vehicle in front of me.

In town for 2 nights. Where are the best locations to find street walkers?

[QUOTE=JerseyD;4459208]In town for 2 nights. Where are the best locations to find street walkers?[/QUOTE]Try Tibbs.

Try East Washington.

Both are hit or miss in my opinion. Also, there seem to be no specific times that are more lucrative than others.

Saturday sightings.

Sunday sightings.

[QUOTE=Chelli4me;4461901]Sunday sightings.[/QUOTE]# 3 would certainly work for me! Thanks as always for the pic Chelli. I need to make it to the west side more often.

[QUOTE=Chelli4me;4461901]Sunday sightings.[/QUOTE]Damn, the girl in the rolled up tie dye shirt and collar with the tattoo on her side does it for me. Any info on her? I'm be in town in few days and would love to find her.
