I’m quite a newbie when it comes to shooting streets as I’m rather timid and my big DSLR doesn’t help in staying “invisible”. Shooting at touristy area helps a lot but I still get questioned by hawkers. And most importantly, now I know why so many street shots look so random!

What lens you shooting with here? did you shoot in B&W or convert later. IMO Little India has some of the best street worthy action in SG. Spending most of my time in Thailand, I find Bangkok is always fun to shoot. Street is fun..urban jungle.. a human safari!

Hi, I'm using D700 and the 50mm f1.2 AIS manual lens for all the shots. The cam is on monochrome mode and RAW, so my Jpegs are all b & W. The pics here are all in-cam b&w with minimal processing. And yes, it's fun shooting streets!
