What should I pay attention to in street shooting?

First of all, because you are often active in the local area, you are probably very familiar with everything around you, so it is easy to ignore what is happening around you.

If you can stop and carefully observe the places, people, different situations and different "moments" around you, you will find a lot of shooting opportunities here.

Step 2: Location

If you try to cover the whole town, there are bound to be many cameras appearing after you leave.

You should choose a place that you are most concerned about, preferably a crowded place, such as the downtown square or a famous park.

Step 3 get the camera ready

Street photography often happens in an instant, so make sure that the camera in your hand is in the shooting state at any time (remove the lens cover. )。 Timing is the key to taking pictures. They are often fleeting. If you miss them, you won't appear again (unless you can get those strange passers-by to do it for you again).

In most cases, you can use the P file to make the camera work automatically. Sometimes you need to make some manual adjustments (such as reducing the shutter speed).

I often use a small camera that can shoot at once. This camera is usually enough, and I find it will add some "dirty" feeling to the photos.

Step 4 be close to

Try to get close to the subject and use a wide-angle lens. I don't mean to scare people by blocking their way, but if you are far away, people will generally regard you as a purposeful stalker. Don't frown when shooting, ordinary people will feel uncomfortable about it and put themselves in trouble. If someone finds you and asks what you are doing, tell them happily and smile.

5. Take more photos

Keep shooting, the more you shoot, the greater the chance of taking a good photo. This also requires you to carry spare batteries and memory cards with you.
