After practising street photography for over a year with the GX200, I've come up with theories for certain kinds of shots. Take this image for example. To me, this shot is commonplace. But a dimension of interest is added to it because of several things.
First the passers-by were walking to multiple directions. Such a scene is less intriguing if the passers-by are walking, say, just up and down the crossing.
Second, some of them are just entering the scene of leaving it. This gives the shot a sense of immediacy.
Third, take this kind of "crossing-the-road" shot not in the afternoon on a working day when the passers-by look most burdened on their face and with their restricted body language. Do the shot in the morning or during the weekend when people are more animated.
