A guide to finding the 'decisive moment' as a street photographer.
That means you actively need to scout your surroundings, something that’s hard to do if you’re too preoccupied with the technical details of how your camera is configured.
By determining your focus zone in advance and tailoring it to your liking, you can simply wait for subjects to enter that zone andIn order to determine your focus zone, you need to understand that the extent of your zone always depends on a few basic factors. These include the focal length of your lens, the size of your camera’s sensor or film, the focal distance, and the lens aperture.
The Olympus Trip film camera featured four simple “Zones” for easily focusing on various subject matters.Even if you don’t have a good DOF scale on the lens or camera you’re using, you can easily experiment with focus zones under most daylight conditions. Just set your lens focus to a moderate distance – say, a few meters – and leave the aperture at something small, like f/11 or f/16.
Today, that’s changed a lot. There are plenty of high-quality lenses and camera bodies that will automatically expose for you and do it quickly as well as silently. This makes for an excellent “fire-and-forget” option that can be even more effective than scale focus in the right hands.Compose With Your Eyes
Rather, the skill and the art both lie in learning to “see” like your camera’s lens without peering into the viewfinder. Picture the proportions of the frame within your mind’s eye and try to compose and arrange within that frame just like you would with the camera up to your face. The answer to that lies in using a waist-level viewfinder, or WLF for short. Cameras with such viewfinders were all the rage between the 1950s and the 70s, though true WLFs are hard to find on more modern gear. On some SLRs, it might be possible to either remove the pentaprism head or attach a right-angle finder to the eyepiece to get a pseudo-WLF effect – allowing you to compose while looking down into the camera in some fashion or other.
