Please note: I don’t pretend this works for anybody. There are a lot of variables and one of them is also the type of camera you use.

I love that despite the technological process advances photography remains essentially the same. And when it comes to street photography there is no autofocus system, however fast it may be, that can match manual focus. This is because the AF system will choose its own choice.

By using manual focus we can keep more creative our photography. And this affects much more than you can imagine the final result of the imageFrom this point of view is like going in full manual exposure, because using Aperture priority (used by so many street photographers) will be always a compromise that won't get you the best result.

I know perfectly going manual focus and using zone focusing will expose you to higher margins of error, but the experience will convert you in a zone focus master, and you will see how the satisfaction level of photography will increase.
