- Wear dark clothes. Bright colors make you stand out.
- Some cameras can also be controlled wirelessly.
- Select the right mode… P Mode lets you focus on shooting, not settings..
- Frame your shot and wait for the right moment.
- Shoot in burst mode and pick the best frame.
- Wait for the decisive moment.
- Squint your eyes to see the luminance of scene… and place your subject in the brightest spot.
- Take a break and post a shot or two on Instagram so you don’t bleed the feed later.
- This also gives you the chance to back up your shots & empty your memory card.
- Fine new angles… Get down low.
- And Up high.
- Use a tripod to find a new angle.
- Water is always a winner with slower shutter speed.
- Look for natural frames for your subjects.
- Alleys & doorways are great for this.. Just duck in and wait.
- Sometimes only part of your subjects is more interesting.
- Shadows also make great pics.
- And reflections too.
- Don’t be afraid of people.
- Introduce yourself, promise to email them the pic and hand over a card.
- Never delete photos back them up. It’s helpful to look back and get feedback.
- Black & White usually works well with street photography.
- Don’t overlook your photos with too much editing. If you can tell what photoshopping tools are used, you’ve used too much.
