1. Use standard lenses<\/h2>\n

“I use the Leica 25mm f\/1.4 lens; it is a great all-rounder that works well for street photography and portraits. The standard lens for any system is my favourite, and a 25mm is the standard for Micro Four Thirds. The angle of view does not match everything that my eyes can see but what I can concentrate on. It\u2019s this angle of view that I like to present to the viewer.”<\/p>\n

2. Use Reflections<\/h2>\n

“Thanks to all the shiny materials used in a modern city, there are reflections everywhere. During my research into street photography, I took many pictures featuring glass windows, chrome, puddles, canals and brass that provided reflections, and for good reason. During the project\u2019s 31 days it rained once when I was out, so puddles weren\u2019t going to feature. However, Birmingham does have more miles of canal than Venice (pub trivia answer) and millions of windows, so I knew that it wouldn\u2019t be a struggle to shoot some examples.”<\/p>\n

3. Try zone focusing<\/h2>\n

Linda Wisdom<\/h3>\n

“Zone focusing involves switching your camera to manual focus, setting the focus point to a specific focus distance (say 2-3m away) and shooting your subjects around that distance from the camera. With zone focusing and a prime lens all you have to do is spot something photogenic, get into position, frame the shot and click the shutter-release button.”<\/p>\n
