Front shot! really hard to shoot from the front...a lot of people are not friendly to big cameras pointing at them...

Street photography is best focal length for me is 35mm-45mm

Wide angle is a must for me in street photography !

35mm-45mm (35mm equivalent)?

by d way, pictures are edited or from the cam itself? have been trying to get shots with such colors with s95 but dunno how...
which is exactly why i am pretty afraid someone might think i am spying or stalking them coz mine a mini-sized s95... tongue.gif

which is also why i find it hard to shoot with 20mm (40mm equivalent)...

My take on this is that we live in a world whereby we get photographed/video'ed anyways. At least here in Taipei.. everyday when stepping out of my home to reaching the office... my face appears in at least 12 cameras. Camera's are everywhere.

Go makan in McD.. some girl camwhoring may accidently have your face in the frame and then post on facebook... or u go shopping, some mat salleh tourist snaps a travel pic with your face in it.... and then post to their blog.

In the public.. I suppose everything's public.

It's inevitable.

Besides getting a better perspective etc, that's probably why a wider lens is preferred (ya .. me bad for sniping sometimes ).

ps:"they shoot me explicitly naming me with my pants down or doing something I'm not supposed to" means like paparazzi style cocking up some story that is totally opposite of the truth.

Unless u act like a perv and taking your own sweet time.. would you notice if someone snaps a photo of you tongue.gif

On pictures... I shoot RAW so I use "off-camera art filters"  laugh.gif

still have a lot to learn and improve my street shooting... rclxub.gif

because you're comparing a dslr shot and and P&S shot? tongue.gif
sniper's using a canon dslr...
or maybe some post-processing can help enhance your photo...

mine is using AV, F2.0, distance around 5m away, exposure 0. slightly blur i think was due to the satay stall beside...

but how how? doable or not? even if i do post processing, anyway to create final pictures like the ones u guys posted?
*
you can try...increase the contrast a bit, increase black clipping a bit...
not a pro in post-prosssing....just mess around with the options in Lightroom...
small sensor will suffer in dynamic range....that's for sure....

yeah, dont have lightroom now but let me go back and try with photoshop... thanks smile.gif

let me see how i can get my s95 to challenge all the big guns here! tongue.gif

and i think the biggest challenge for me now is also how to take pictures without even requiring to do any post processing smile.gif
*
tweaking in lightroom should be fine...
as people like to shoot raw, control the settings ourselves rather than rely on the image processor to do the work... smile.gif
shoot in raw also allows more margin for error... tongue.gif
