NYC Street

Those are very good indeed!

Are New Yorkers so used to camera that you can just snap them going about their business without any objections or do you employ a low-profile technique to get these captures?

If I had the money, it would go on a Panasonic GX8 with the tilt rear LCD to mate with my PanaLeica 15mm f1.7 to try my hand at street photography.

I was going to wait a bit longer to see if people notice.

1 - There is no DoF to the photos
2 - It is taken at stomach height in a lot of them
3 - It is an ultra-wide

I took all those with a DJI Pocket, using a time lapse feature. What it does is it takes a photo every X second and stitch them together to make a .MOV file for a time lapse but you also get a folder with all the JPEG images. So I cheated, the camera just keep taking photos as I walk through NYC.

Ah, I feel that I’ve failed a Photography 101 spot quiz by not clocking that everyone and everything stationary or moving slowly is in perfect focus from foreground to far, far away.

Very sneaky indeed to use a DJ1 Pocket like that as most people probably thought it was a vape device!

I feel like I can't take credit for these as it is essentially a machine gun approach. All I did was point it and hope for the best essentially.

Ah, I thought they looked good. Hate it when most of the picture is out of focus.

The result is similar to the old manual focus days where people would shoot at F8 to get most things in focus.
