It's easy to sit there and endlessly scroll away on your phone looking at the images of other street photographers. But when it comes to actually making images, you can be tuned in with zone focusing and setting everything to manual mode. Just think on a sunny day: ISO 1600, F8, focused six feet away, daylight white balance, and 1/1000 shutter speed. That's just my best educated guess. It starts somewhere though, and you can be very intentional while understanding the scene, what's happening in the scene, and your camera's settings.

Image stabilization has majorly helped photographers to make images that otherwise were very hard to make. But it shouldn't be a self-inflicted crutch that you use to throw away good form. The problem here though is that many photographers have completely thrown that out the window. Otherwise, they may not have been taught it in the first place. This will hold you accountable.

Leica is the epitome of luxury and performance. The company has created cameras and lenses that last decades, and the image quality remains unmatched. However, for most, gathering more than one lens can be a task, given the price point. As a result, many Chinese third-party brands are now tapping into the lens market, with Light Lens Lab being one such competitor. And today, the latter is welcoming its pre-orders for their first apochromatic lens.

Flash has been a creative accessory for many photographers, but when it comes to genres such as street photography, it can be disruptive. It often leads your subjects to know that they are being photographed, and that can be a huge challenge if you are working discreetly. To fix this issue, an analog photographer on Reddit has come up with an 'invisible' flash, which does not alert the subject. Here's a look at how.

I noticed several years ago that cameras started to be all about capturing moments quickly and moving on. More than anything, it's all about being light, nimble, and kind of like a fly on the wall. And this type of photography I think is something that really needs to go away because we're relying too much on the technology and not enough on skill. So the best way to slow down I genuinely think is to use a tripod. And all of us should be doing it.
