Saturday walk in downtown, with a crappy weather condition.
But that didn't discourage me. Sure, I would have liked better light, but as a street photographer I have to accept what it is.
My Sony a6000 with the 16mm, zone focusing. Sure I failed a lot of shots, but that is the way to work better to me.
The best answer to so much technological advancement, once again, is given to us by photography.
On the street, again, using zone focusing and hyperfocal is superior to any type of autofocus that is proposed to us. If, undoubtedly, on some occasions the AF is useful, if we want a camera that is immediately reactive, even when it goes from off to on, it is to the manual focus that we must turn.
And it is ironic and at the same time comforting to know that, in a world that would like to impose only artificial intelligence and automation, there is still room for the prodigy of optics, a science that seems like magic.
I, even though I photograph digitally most of the time, connect to the pleasure of using a completely mechanical camera. And when I shoot digitally I still feel enormous satisfaction in living it as much as possible without accepting everything automatic. On the street, photographing using the technique called zone focusing, allows me to have a camera that is truly instantaneous. And also the result, inevitably, changes. Totally changing the experience and the joy of photographing.
Before to show the photos, I have a news for you. There is a new visual blog in this website. It will show my most recent work, my idea of street photography. You can take a look:
