i think the problem with compacts or rangefinder you cannot get wide. most of them usually are limited or fixed. yes i know it works well with the legends of street photog but in Malaysia today you cannot use fixed lens to get good composition. for god sake you have to realize, streets of Malaysian cities are not like those in France! if you use rangefinder is even harder. believe me street photography in Malaysia needs UWA, that is the only way.

anyway, i dont like dslr street photography pics. seen thousands of them so boring. dslr dont have the texture and the tone. stop pretending you are so deep and artsy. trust me, turning your dslr to B&W mode and set it at 3200 ISO wont do shit.

yeah i know its harsh but i have to admit i also once tried street photography but failed to move any further.

haha. but i think most DSLR users are self proclaimed anti-establishments as well.


you used 50mm prime lens before? legends like HCB used them alot but their pictures looked like they are paintings. But 50mm you used on KL streets i bet 10000 dollars you will have a damn CAR in your composition!! lol. ill elaborate about this later. need to go work now.

those pictures are not powerful enough. any girls with a cybershot can take it.

already getting bored with all the pretentious photos here. Nobody shoots film anymore?

here is another one which i shot back in 98. so real and powerful

son, your sarcasm 101 has failed.

you dissapoint me.

voyeurism is NOT street photography.

its been a while and this thread still havent improved. duh.

those photos are lacking aesthetical values.

you need a set of aesthetic guidelines to put it in social perspective.
