Back home from Memphis I found that whatever was left from an amazing summer in Germany has left. It was raining all day with temperatures close to freezing.
The best thing to do? Meeting up with old friends. Instead of a planned hike we escaped into a well-known art gallery. A perfect place for street photography on a rainy day, unless you want to go for the first puddle shooting of the wet season.
Although I had my E-M1 in the backpack, I left in the locker and shot with my iPhone 8 plus. Which is perfectly suitable for street photography. And in a gallery environment, it even has its advantages. Other visitors tend to totally ignore you when you shoot with a phone. They don’t even bother walking out of the frame. This would have been a different story if I have had the E-M1 with the rather large 12-100mm in my hand. For more photos from my gallery shooting continue after the jump…
So if you face a wet Sunday yourself, go shooting in a local gallery. And why not just using your phone.
Wish you none less a sunny Sunday!
Marcus

Excellent and full of inspiration as always.
Thanks, Jill, as always so much appreciated! Hope your Sunday is going well! Marcus
I love them all especially the first one
A good picture paints a thousand words. The photo is like telling us a story 🙂
Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words! Marcus
Wonderful work, Marcus! That first shot is especially masterful … but I love them all.
Thank you Heide, this coming from you means a lot! Hope your week is going well! Marcus
These came out brilliantly Marcus! I love the composition that you’ve chosen with the shots. I can see how the iPhone would be less intrusive. I think when I’ve been in museums, I’m more likely to notice the larger phones and move out of the way for them to capture the shot (which if they were street photographers may not have been their aim 😉 ).
Thanks, Amy, your kind words mean so much! And yes, I hate when people walk out of my photo 😉 Crazy?
Wow these came out amazing and are surely some of my favorites. The picture with the pope is brilliant and I love the people shots in front of the huge canvases. I would frame a few for sure. Awesome
Ahhh, thanks, my friend, you spoil me too much with your kind words!
Just the truth my friend, you are doing the rest all by yourself.
Beautiful images Marcus. Especially liked your opener
Thanks, Tina, really appreciate your feedback! Marcus
I enjoyed these gallery images. Wonder if this could be a genre subset of street photography?
Thanks, Brenda, much appreciated! Gallery street photography is a legit subset, I have a pretty good collection already 🙂
This is such a great collection of photos. I really like the way you’ve presented it. Great job, Marcus! 🙂

That’s a great candid set. Really liked the body language of the people totally absorbed into the exhibits.. and now, in turn, are great exhibits! 🙂
Thanks, Raj, really appreciate your kind words. It is a fascinating gallery indeed! Marcus
Nice! The top picture I find especially compelling.
Thanks, Peter, glad you like it! Marcus
