I dig taking pics of street performers..my tip to other photographers: Before you start taking pics of them, drop a few bucks into their bucket, and make sure they notice. They will be much more patient and permissive about you taking several shots of them. It is a small price to pay for a good shot.

One area in street photography that’s often ignored is shooting at “litter” on the very street next to or below your feet. It could be a piece of gum, ant common ordinary items dropped on the ground, even a little oil spill from a parked car..

Getting close and shooting with very wide lenses and my hearts going pretty quick….shooting strangers is not easy but thats the challenge which makes street photography so good.

I agree waiting in an area can produce good images… having the camera strap wrapped around my wrist with the shutter cocked/pre focussed for me I find is the most “ready” position to take a shot.

Making yourself disappear when walking the streets is never easy with a bulky camera…but a thing that helps me a little is I often wear a top/jacket thats the same color as my camera {black}. I find my cameras not as visible this way. Sometimes being blatant about taking a shot works better for me than to ask for permission as usually the person freezes up when I ask if I can take their photo which can ruin the “moment”.
