Ya ya ya.. the Ah Beng version tongue.gif

But the idea of a smaller more discrete camera is tempting... see how the rumor'ed GF2 turns out lor... or if someone will do a AF normal prime for the NEX.

Aiyoyooooooooooooo dowan the ah beng 1 la. U know u want the Leica. brows.gif

If my in laws owned a film shop, I'd get the Leica MP in a heartbeat. That camera will last me till the day I die and then continue to serve my daughter n her kids too.

Awesome pics. Got Street Barber at 3:32. laugh.gif

I love pics with no modern features. Very difficult to achieve coz there's always sumthin that pokes out of the pics. I go to really old places n take pics of it thinking "wow! I got a classic pic at last" but then go home look carefully on computer screen n u can pick out lil details like aircond compressors, satellite TV dish etc etc. sad.gif

I think street photography is supposed to be something spontaneous (spontan)  icon_idea.gif , not something you rehearsed or planned or posed or directed  doh.gif . Having said that, if you did posed or directed the people in your photo, NEVER EVER admit that you did that.  biggrin.gif

Ya like Robert Capa taking the secret of the shot soldier picture to his grave. Until today, ppl still debating if the picture was real or staged bs. I think a lot of the famous street pics r bs too. Especially those where u get ppl standing or walking on exactly the right spot doing exactly the right thing. I mean, it's like a 1 in a million chance thing yet those fellas can keep pumping out pics like that is bs la iMO.

Is it possible to edit the thread title and remove the word candid? Perhaps the thread starter or mod can do this? I think there have been a few pics posted under candid, but I don't think that was the thread starters intention.  hmm.gif

<-- from 1st page.

I agree. Getting all kinds of weird postings instead of street photography. I will edit the title to Street Photography.

Can see some modern elements there. The fluorescent light is a glaring giveaway. N the price tag gun in the middle left. Hehe. But very nice pic, these uncle shops r surely dying out.

Flurescent light also kenot ker boss? Its been around for since my grandma's time liao but yeah you're right, the plastic bottles and price tag gun are a dead giveaway.

And I just realized your street hawker is wearing a modern polo shirt  biggrin.gif
Foreign locations are easy as everything looks "interesting".
The difficult part is own neighborhood. Every night also I go out jalan jalan and most of the time, I can't even shoot a single frame   sad.gif
Maybe you can add a caption on what you wanna portray. smile.gif

Haloooo, polo shirt has been around since 1896. Mana ada modern? tongue.gif

Howzabout this? Looks more isolated like that I reckon. Since u oredi wide open, at least like that can cut out the stuff on the left n isolate the old man more. What say u?

Talk talk talk for what? Faster post picture la. tongue.gif

Anyway, who says shutter speed is the most important? There's no hard n fast rule. It's all up to how u want it to look like. We don't always wanna freeze people into statues, showing motion is good sometimes..
