Here we have the top 30 images for round 7\u00a0of APOY 2016 Round 7: Big Brother – Street Photography<\/h1>\n

Street photography has always been one of our most popular rounds of APOY, second only perhaps to black & white, which is round 8 of APOY 2016. Street photography is a genre that at times seems almost magical. Walking through a town, city or village with our cameras at the ready, we can find multiple scenes that cry out to be photographed and we\u2019ll see a wide variety of these over the next six pages.<\/p>\n

The overall winner of round 7 is Sudipta Dutta Chowdhury from West Bengal, India. Sudipta wins a\u00a0Sigma<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 24-35mm f\/2 DG HSM lens, the world\u2019s first large-aperture full-frame wide-angle zoom lens offering a wide open aperture of f\/2 throughout the zoom range.<\/p>\n

Sigma<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has developed the new 24-35mm f\/2 DG HSM for 35mm full-frame sensors. This allows photographers to carry one lens to do the work of three fixed focal-length lenses \u2013 a 24mm, 28mm and 35mm \u2013 with f\/2 brightness and top optical performance. One package delivers flexible functionality and high convenience. In particular, at the 24mm and 35mm focal lengths, this lens offers the performance that is equivalent to that of two prime lenses in Sigma\u2019s Art line. Instead of changing one high-performance fixed-focal-length lens for another, you simply zoom.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Sigma<\/a>\t\t\t

Sigma 24-35mm DG HSM lens and ceramic protector<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The Super Multi-Layer Coating of the lens reduces flare and ghosting, and provides sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a silent, high-speed AF function, and by optimizing the AF algorithm, smoother AF is achieved.<\/p>\n

Sudipta also receives a\u00a0Sigma<\/a><\/strong>\u00a082mm WR Ceramic Protector \u2013 a vital accessory for protecting the lens from dust and scratches when out shooting in a city or town.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a total prize value of \u00a31,054.98.<\/p>\n

1st Sudipta Dutta Chowdhury, India 50pts<\/h3>\n\t\t

1st Sudipta Dutta Chowdhury, India 50pts<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Nikon D750, 16-28mm, 1\/500sec at f\/9, ISO 200.<\/p>\n

India is a country that has been endlessly photographed \u2013 and with good reason. It\u2019s a place of ample colour, texture, people and landscapes. But here we see a different take from West Bengal resident Sudipta. Gone is the bright saturated colour to be replaced with expressionist black & white. This is a beautifully composed image and one full of joy and life. It\u2019sa great take on the street photography theme and we\u2019re more than happy to award this image first place in this round.<\/p>\n

Nikon D300S, 35mm, 1\/800sec at f\/7.1, ISO 250.<\/p>\n

This is an especially well-composed scene and one that offers some hidden delights. The boy on the left, with his body frozen as it is, mimics the shape of the stairs, while the boy in the centre has his arms outstretched in reflection of the structure behind him. Finally, the arms of the boy on the right seem to reflect the overall shape of the scene.<\/p>\n

3rd David Sark, Australia 48pts<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 50mm, 1\/160sec at f\/2.8, ISO 400.<\/p>\n

David found this scene of a vendor in Hong Kong, China. As you can probably tell, the image was taken at night and this has meant that David has been able to play around with the shadows and exposure. He has exposed for the highlights, meaning the shopkeeper is framed by the lights of her store. The rest of the image is thrown into deep shadow. Shooting from an elevated position and from a distance is also a great choice. You may also want to note the sign on the vendor\u2019s counter\u2026<\/p>\n
