Despite having an array of macro lenses. I recently decided my efforts are strictly close-up. Simply don’t have the patience or perseverance of Job. Tripods, focusing rails and expensive glass would cramp my style. Great to see the best man and canine team out and about at home. Woody x

I (kind of) enjoy street photography differently than how others usually do. Most people shoot horizontal with 15-25mm (M43) and try to get a wide shot to get a story of "the street" while capturing the environment. I on the other hand love to shoot vertical and candid shot of people with the purpose of telling the story of that particular subject and make it stand out to create a story out of it. This is somehow similar to what you're doing here. I currently do this with a 32mm from my lumix gx850 kitlens (12-32mm) but now I'm considering a telephoto prime lens to up my story telling game and so glad to have found this video because I'm considering getting a 42.5mm prime lens and this video showed the closest kind of photography I'd use it on.

@@projectpph Yes. Someone after my own heart. I've been thinking about street in my latest video and I think I enjoy the close up of people more rather than the wide. I still enjoy the buildings and wide shots but gravitate towards characters. Using the 12-40 pro was good so I can zoom.. Great to hear from you 😆

Thanks for the mention, Rob! And greetings from Street Photography Mecca aka Tokyo.If not a tourist, then definitely out of my element and the constant change and energy of the streets is part of the fun. Of course, it's also a great place to buy new old equipment so there'll be some new old lenses featured on my channel as a result of my visit. Love the orange, pole and shadow shot, and the big takeaway is that it's a genre of photography that everyone can access and in many ways the best way to train your eye.

Your street photos are better every year. Excellent set of images. Jerry is looking well. Keep doing your thing in framing and choice of subjects, lighting, and focus depth, don't have any concern of what your style is or should be, as you will double think everything. Just line-up quickly, see things as you do, and snap. There will naturally be some style develop, or perhaps several depending on the mood that day.
