Seriously, the colors and sharpness of your photos are always so spot on! Love it!


Thanks, I learned from a Jay Maisel video to set your ISO a little higher when shooting people and that allows you to have a faster shutter speed...and you know what ...it works! Since I started doing that any moving people and my street photography images are sharper. :D

Depending on the available light 1000 - 1600. You don't see the higher ISO in the photo (unless you get way higher than that) and anything that's moving looks sharper. I shoot in aperture priority and I used to set the ISO to Auto and that sets it to the lowest ISO for a given light. A lot of the time I would get a blurred movement because the only thing that's adjusted in that case is the shutter speed (which would be too slow).

Thanks! So when you are doing your street photography is that what you are doing now?

What a cute shot! And with your ISO at 1000, you were prepared for a shot like that.

Yes. I start at 1200 and go to 1600 if I have to.
