Las Vegas is such a great place for practicing street photography. There is always something interesting to capture. For every 10 photos, I probably got one decent looking one.
This was probably because I was trying to be discreet about taking photos and would just hold my camera at chest height and try and frame everything up and it took a while to get good at it.
One thing to remember when shooting like this is to make sure you have your focus points set up right because you wont be looking into the camera to focus. So make sure you have your focus point set to cover the widest area possible so that your photos are sharp. The only downside to doing it like that is that the camera focuses on whatever is closest.
One thing I really like about street photography is that you have to move and adapt to it. If you are trying to get a shot, but notice something in a different area and you turn to get a shot of that, you need to be quick with making adjustments to your shutter speed and aperture so that you dont miss your shot. I really enjoy shooting like this when you have to make a bunch of on the fly adjustments. If you are shooting in an automatic mode, you wont have to worry about any of that, but you also lose a lot of the freedom and artistic expression that shooting in manual mode offers.
Hopefully you enjoyed these images. I am testing out some of the new features of Liketu and their new mobile app for posting. They are hoping to have a completed version of the app ready by Hive Fest. Hopefully I can help them to get some of the bugs worked out because once this app is completed, it is going to be pretty awesome for Hive because it will make it a way easier way for people to connect to the Hive blockchain and share.
