May I know how you take such picture?? does this means ur focus subject are not moving at all? not possible right??

The guy playing with his phone not moving what.. Can also expect that he'll stay relatively still. So just use slow ss

I think it's mainly because how we perceive the Malaysian streets are "boring" therefore we do not really make it an effort to take photos actively?

Which is really a waste since there's stories everywhere... I don't live in Malaysia anymore but everytime I go back, I see a lot of changes and its really worth documenting before the old disappears for good.

what do you guys do if you point your camera at someone, then that person looks at you. do you still go ahead and take the photo?

I do, but I'll not look into my viewfinder to "double check". Right after i snap the photo and smile and nod at the fellow, and walk away casually. Some people will just stare at you as you walk away puzzled, some will smile back, some will laugh, that's just based on what happened to be when i was in Hong Kong

yea, i do tat as well
but its like a super fast thing, slight smile slight nod, immediately turn away, never look at ur screen if u shooting digital, n dun wait for the person to feedback u their feelings

Yeah, totally agree. However I've been in cases where the person of subject would approach me with a genuine smile and just ask to have a quick look at the photo, and more often than not, i receive surprisingly positive reactions! One thing I still do not have the balls to do is to pounce right into their face (like 0.5 meters away) and snap their faces, would love to try that one day tho.

Bruce Gilden style ka? Hope ur insurance is up to it
Thats too intrusive me thinks

got a nice feeling in that picture. Kinda reminds me of my first lover...

Bruce Gilden is total boss imho. But yeah, I guess his method of taking photos is a little too intrusive. Have you guys browsed Charlie Kirk or Junku's albums? They are absolutely stunning.

If u like those style then ... The grandmaster is daido moriyama but u need to find a good hunting ground for yakuzas n prostitutes first.

OMG I can't believe i didn't know about this guy, truly breathtaking, there's something about high contract B/W photos that compels me.

SS 1second? Thanks.

and unlike gwailos... Master Daido no make u wanna lust jerman camera.



Really up to the situation... how fast the "traffic" is moving and how still you can hold your camera.
It looked like his camera is rested on something.
