IMO, its best to just go explore on your own, that way you're more aware of your surroundings rather than tcss with friends 

Go somewhere unfamiliar.. explore... discover... shoot.

Best thing is you don't need good gears for it. Any camera/phone would do.

no need think. jz snap and post it here for C&C.

Streetphotography is mainly about the eye, "the feel" and just plain going out with camera shooting alot 

It's not very technical...even Daido Moriyama also saja tembak with a point and shoot.

Just take note of some basics and fire away like :

- be aware of the sun's position and don't shoot right into it unless its for effect

- take note of color...like those idiots wearing neon color outfit. They distract.

- get close *insert robert capa quote*

- use light and shadows to your advantage to highlight the subject

et cetera

See the first post of this thread

Depends. Autofocus mainly on faster cameras.. zone focus on film and RX100..I set the middle button for manual focus so can just AF for distance.. click it to turn it to manual and just snap away

That's why it didn't work for u

There is some interesting element though probably would look better if the taxi is more in the frame. Not sure what so interesting about the right portion of the picture.

Never good idea to use selective colour (except few cases). Even if imperfect, just leave as it i, you can try lower down saturation on distracting element but when it is obvious, you can't just hide it so just leave it. Not that good but I think original without selective be better.

I would've moved a bit to the left and frame the buddha between the 2 girls instead.

Editing works best when its not noticeable.

My own noob 2 cents lah... folks associate street photography with B&W due to the iconic bresson, doisneau images but they're B&W simply cos that's what available at the time.

2018 already.. just shoot color lah. Use color, lines and light to compose instead of just quickly snapping something and then cook in post.

Probably better than selective colour in your buddha photo. But that white signboard still distracting so either colour or b&w wouldn't make much difference. I would just leave it at colour.

This looks great! Is it photoshop to separate the color there?

i think there are people that suggest people using only wide angle prime for street but personally, i use everything, from manual prime to 70-200.. so personally as long as you're comfortable with the lens, then you should use it

It’s okay to use manual focus

But the question is what body u pair it with

If u use it with a dslr , using ur viewfinder to rack focus may be hard . Coz most dslr viewfinder are not accurate when ur aperture is wide , he did mention here at 2:20

Then u need to use the live view but sometimes may be hard to use under harsh sunlight.

If u use it with mirrorless, then it’s generally fine
But some with good focus peaking will make the process of shooting much more enjoyable - the one I have used to shoot before is a7s2 and a7II, the s2 peaking is so much more accurate, making u much more comfortable when u manual focus

Whatever it is, go head and buy one. Maybe not an expensive one TO begin with . See whether u like it personally or not cheers

35mm or 50mm (FF equivalent) focal would do nicely.

The saying goes "zoom with your feet". Thats one of the appeal when doing street shots. You can go narrower with 50mm on apsc but that is already at borderline, IMO of coz. Anything more tele than that i tend to stay way too far, out in the open, pray no photobombers, very steady hand, and sometimes not getting any background due to extreme bokeh (street shots tend to look better if background tells a story). There is the cheaper samyang or mitakon manual if i recall like the 50mm f0.9 something. But unless its really low light, high aperture setting is not really ideal for street shots as u can see anything else beside subjecy, IMO again of coz.
