Hi erwiuewurwehu,

all of my photos are spontaneous, none are posed.

I don't really "create" them.... I steal them ;) but don't tell anybody  :D

Street photography is not art, it is theft :o

You can see a lot more of my work if you click the links below, or visit one of my exhibitions.

Wow. Keep them coming. They are a real inspiration. Maybe one day you can post a tutorial of do's and don'ts for street photography....

Sadly I don't think it's something you can teach.

Everybody is born with a talent, a gift..... the lucky ones get to discover what their talent is, but others search their whole lives for what they want to do, instead of what they CAN do.

Schumacher, Pavarotti, Pelé, Mohammed Ali, and so many others were born with abilities.  None of them can or could really explain how they do it, they just know they were born to do it, and none of them could ever achieve success in another's field.

Just follow your instincts, wherever they lead.  I can't explain how, but I can share what I can do, and hopefully others will be encouraged by my photos.

Photography was my trade for about 23 years until I gave up in 1997.  I didn't intend to ever touch another camera, but about 4 or 5 years ago I wanted to see what digital was all about, so I bought a camera, and photography got me back.
I can't explain, but I can try to encourage :)

The following is one of my street favourites, but it features the finger so I'm posting only the link here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/_husky_/16117159547

It's a famous barber shop but one ironically with very poor reviews, including impolite staff (as if you can't tell from the photo). Apparently the client laughed when she told him I just photographed them through the window, and at first I couldn't tell if she really meant that gesture or if she was fooling around with me. So I went round to the front of the shop, thinking to thank them and leave them my card (I had one other, better and less-controversial pic of them) as I quite often do when I'm 'discovered' by my subject/s while streeting, but was very rudely shooed away without so much as a chance to explain what I was doing.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
