▶︎ Lenses for Street Photography:
Sony: https://geni.us/oPe8AR (Amazon) & https://geni.us/MdaMd (Amazon) (I put the cheaper versions)
Canon: https://geni.us/Br8LcvO (Amazon) or https://geni.us/4XWk (Amazon) or https://geni.us/fTpi (Amazon)
Nikon: https://geni.us/UBELT (Amazon) or https://geni.us/Ytjt (Amazon)
Note: If a Sigma Art version is available for those lenses and your camera system get it, it's really good.
M4/3: 12mm or 42.5mm depending on your camera system.
✚ Settings for night street photography:
1/ If you want long exposure: here is a trick, start with the highest ISO possible just to check the framing. Then go down to 5-30s if you want car lights trails
2/ If you just want situational shots, use the tips I gave in the Start Crushing Street Photo video. But this time maybe allow your shutter to go a bit slower
3/ Depending on your camera you might want to limit your ISO from going too high. I'm good until 12800.
4/ Shoot at the lowest aperture possible - for a nice shallow DOF and bokeh.
5/ I shoot in A with the min SS down to 1/125s - or all manually. Up to you really.
6/ Underexpose a little to keep information in the highlights and recover shadows with less high ISO noise.
✚ Gear at Night:
1/ Lens, lens, lens, get the lens with the widest aperture possible. 1,4 ,18, 2.0. Stick to primes if you cant.
2/ I don't use tripods except for a flexible one but feel free too - I don't like carrying it around except in nature. In the city, I always find somewhere to put the camera (table, bench, my backpack...).
✚ Overall tips/ideas:
Use the environment you're in. The goal is not to light up the whole scene but only showcase what is being lit
Find reflections
Do long exposure to get cars lights trails
Use neon lights / street signs
BOKEH with the lights !! So smoooooooth!
Guys get out there and go shoot some epic stuff (yes even if 99% will be trash, go for the 1%).
