Street Photography

Street Photography is probably my favourite kind of photography. Moments that are usually lost can be captured forever. It takes a certain kind of skill and awareness that take years of practice but still requires some luck. Prepare by having your camera pre-set to the conditions around you. Autofocus can help and have your zoom at slightly wide angle. In cities where the big buildings block out sunlight, expose for the highlights and let the shadows go to black.

Be confident and know you are allowed to photograph in public spaces. http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page17959 Don't be intimidated but be aware of danger, you'll soon find out what you can and can't do. You don't have to be covert or secretive, trip the shutter when you think certain elements are working together.
