As said above, 23 or 35 are fine and are what I use. Very rarely, when I'm doing more arty stuff and I want to compress space I'll go longer

Some okay stuff in there. Nice link, thanks

In many cases, the camera is much less relevant than the artist taking the shot. But there are a fair few cases where a better or more appropriate camera makes a big difference. I need a lightning fast system for shooting on the streets so I use mft. If I were waiting for a compact to lock and...

Dunno about appearing as a guest, but would be nice to see a link to read the blog.

Well done mate.

Who cares what it scores on Flickr or 500px? Seriously. You don't actually think that makes it automatically a great image do you? The only one I could find was an old account with a few snaps from years ago. I'll check Flickr later.

Hahaha. Obviously, in the real world, a photo is only a good photo if it gets a million likes or gets popular on 500px. It's a social media exercise to gets faves likes and popular status. Get enough followers and the rest is easy.

Dan, who cares what people think is real street or not? Who gives them the right to define it anymore than you? You're taking shots of people on the street with a camera. There are numerous groups run by so called street experts who are ultra elitist and snobby when it comes to the genre. And...

Who cares how we shoot a shot? There's no right and wrong as certain techniques won't apply to everyone. Just try them all and go with what works. I've done everything from shooting from the hip to lifting the camera to my eye and they all work but in different ways. I think you just should post...
