Tips covered in this video 5. Forget about settings 4. Use Prime over Zoom lens 3. Spent more time seeing Vs capturing 2. Shoot in all weather 1. Crop your Images

[@gordonrae9632]

No. 5. To be fair, he said that you you should shoot in Aperture mode with a minimum speed.

[@raymondpayne7597]

Don't get caught up in burst photography. Try to take one at a time to learn what you are photographing. Otherwise you should put the camera on video and shoot all day then go back and find the image you think you like best. Anticipate the photo from being acquainted with your surroundings. Be like an orchestra conductor, practice your score, assemble your orchestra, have the individual instruments work together, get their attention, start the music, get into the rhythm of the scene/score, be the action part, involve yourself, hum the tune, move your body, anticipate what is coming up. Do a dry run through several times, no photos taken, no pixel peeping, choose some sort of composition or theme to your photography, take a "wet" run; take test photos, then run through them, then interact with the action or scene as a very observant bystander. The camera is the tool, as are the musical instruments, and you are the conductor! You know the left and the right, the foreground and the background, the top and bottom views. Above all practice, practice, practice before the concert. Raymond

idk about 50... its too close to the other two... i think setups should be 24/50/85 or 105 and 35/85/135

[@kindacool63]

I recommend a zoom covering 24-120 or thereabouts. You'll catch many more good moments than having using a prime. But P. L. seems more interested in posed street portraits, so a prime is fine for that.

[@proto_hexagon5649]

[@jenohogan9254]

I've been doing photography seriously for about 16 yrs and I've never heard another pro photographer say "don't crop your images". All my profs encouraged it, as it can give a different or better perspective. You can learn so much from cropping. :-D

[@KarlMathiasMoberg]

One very big and prominent photographer on KZbin FroKnowsPhoto is probably the one a lot of people have heard it from. Stems from the school where he was trained that told you that you should only crop with your feet. I completely disagree with that philosophy.

[@TokyoXtreme]

@@KarlMathiasMoberg Cropping can make the difference of having a shot vs. having nothing at all.

[@anzaeria]

Henri Cartier-Bresson (the pioneer of street photography) advises not to crop your images and to get everything perfectly framed in your viewfinder. Though he does admit to cropping one of his images because he was shooting through a fence at the time.

[@ko300zx]

I think zooms are perfectly fine for an introduction to street photography. Perhaps even better for beginners. It takes a while to develop your eye for any type of photography and if you're glued to an 85 prime all day, you may miss a lot of shots because you weren't quite sure what your position should be, or you're in too tight of a space and aren't sure how to adapt to get the shot you want. Coming home with a bunch of missed shots can be discouraging and a zoom can help you get more out of your day as a beginner. You can reflect on the shots and start to understand where you might want to be for different focal lengths as you put more time into it and move into primes as you get comfortable. And the kicker, if you're going to crop, what does it matter? :D

[@ProPhotoVegas]

If you have an 85 make sure you have a 24 or a 35 too

[@MichaelIzner]

I tried street photography and I just don’t like taking a photo of somebody without permission. I’m not comfortable with it.

[@zachleming]

I actually searched for this video because I didnt know if it was rude or not.

[@abstractions1816]

i feel the exact same way. my friend goes around constantly taking photos of people and i dont know how he does it, to me it just feels so invasive. So many times ive seen people try to physically dodge the frame when I've got my camera and it just makes me feel so bad

[@Jonthebard]

@@abstractions1816 hence why using the 85mm lens helps, you can be at a distance away from your subject yet get a close up shot without the feeling of intrusion.

[@isaacsanchez7317]

Use a zoom lens lol

[@silixie6306]

I'm also not comfortable with taking pictures of people on the street. But what does help is the same thing what Isaac Sánchez Jin in the comments said: use a zoom lens. I know that in the video he said is to don't use a zoom lens. But if you're not comfortable with it and you definitely want to try street photography, you should just try the zoom lens. You can photograph people from a distance and they don't even notice.

[@ericlee4991]

I like your tip #1 and agree with you. I as a pro. photographer do crop my images too because as you said, I want to convey my images and tell a story more persuasively by removing distracting objects around the subject. People were saying that you shouldn't crop the images because some of people trust their equipment so much and use a wide-angle lens and make shots, having a mind that it will be cropped so I don't care how I compose. This is also true that we should avoid not composing and just shooting whatever you see and then crop all the images.

[@padster1970]

Cropping is fine I agree 100%. When I used to work in the black and white darkroom years ago for the press, a 35mm negative has spare space above when printing on a 10x8 print (inches vs mm ). Plus, when you enlarge the image to expose on the paper, you can zoom right in on it to crop out messy backgrounds, exactly as you say. The famous classic B/W street photographers enlarged/ cropped their print from the negative. If we were all lucky enough to see the original negatives and contact sheet we would see lots of cropping going on. Make it look nice and clean in post….after all it is the digital age!! Thank for you video I really enjoyed your tips. Peace!
