street portraits

[kuuan]

Recently I bought my first decent camera-phone and this is the first pic taken with it that I uploaded to my flickr. To a certain extent it confirms what I have been thinking, even saying: that a camera phone in certain situations is the best camera, of course not technically, but for being more readily accepted, by "subjects", than a dedicated camera. I had just left a disco with a few local friends opposite the street. Half of the people had their handphone out taking pics of themselves and each other. Me walking up to this lady and doing a snap with my handphone seemed to be a normal thing to do

kuaan, I fully agree on the advantages of using a smart phone in street photography but I also find that I'm not having much fun using one.

right Peter, so far I have hardly used a smart phone to take photos but I already understand a bit what you mean. That night sometimes focus did not lock and I was unable to release, if it did the delay was very disturbing, I never quite knew when exactly the photo was taken. However, after having used adapted manual lenses for 10 years suddenly I am longing for a cam with AF, possibly even zoom, but it must be light, small and inconspicuous. I am tempted to get a Sony RX100iV or V, better though first I tried a cheaper option, the very small, if collapsed, 16-50 kit zoom for my NEX5n.

This dude was weaving through the crowd at a recent Velvet Underground (John Cale & Friends) gig in Liverpool UK. I got him to turn around for my camera (phone cam - Huawei P10, incidentally a fabulous phone camera)
