wow. are you talking about 35mm standard? that's close!khairi said:
:think: did you ask for permission first before you do such shots on people on the street? i realized you have plenty of candid shots. Very nice!
I even got scolded once while attempting some street shots...
even if I was not focusing at them... :cry: I guess it must be my look! :cry:
that's 35mm equivalent on my dslr. cos i use my 18-55 lense most of the time now.shchow said:wow. are you talking about 35mm standard? that's close!

But somehow, i'd shoot ard the 18-24 range of the lense, and i dunno why.
permission? so far...i think i asked a few times only...most of the times, i never.
dont worry if you ever get into any bad experiences. take it with a big smile and move out,
BUT make sure u got the shot lah. What u got to do is just respect their private space
no matter how close you are from them. I mean, if yuo respect them, they'll respect you.
As long as you know what photo you are taking. A good smile will be the first thing u should
work on. It'll make you be approachable to any stranger...well...but i dunno what's happen
if you smile to a gangster lah...hahaha.
I too have a few bad experinces...but i dont care. There's always a way out to questions
like "Why u taking my photo?" "Why u take photo?" "Where are you from?" n bla bla bla
One other trick to taking close shots of strangers is to understand how ppl behave...there'll b
a time that you can simply take a few shots without them knowing...That's when they are
mostly themselves. Seriously, those are quick instances...but there are possibilities
tat it might occur again if you missed it.
BUT, if you ask, and they say "OK lor...take my foto"...dont just take their foto
and buzz off, move in closer and closer and interact with them as u take their foto.
hehehe...just like a friendly approachable paparazzi!!!
have fun shooting ya.
thanks for the tips... khairi.
i'll try. In fact, I always thought that taking a candid is better to do with long range lens. that allow you to shoot without people knowing. but, sometimes doesn't feel very "bright" doing that... ;p ........... plus, i still don't have a long range yet.

no prob...those tips are really not tips...but just the way i do my shoot.
so i share with you how i'd do the shoot most of the time...it's not
always rite.
there's a person in pbase, i totally forgot her web link, who does street shooting
using a 300mm f4L usm...and really nice too. That's how she approach
street shooting.
