I Suck At Street Photography | Episode 5 | Leica M9 POV

Welcome back to I suck at street photography, a new and poorly made POV YouTube series about trying to improve my poor street photography by getting out and shooting more. I'm tired of coming home with shots I'm not super proud of, so join me in this weekly POV series where I intend on doing my best at improving.

This episode I stink up the streets of Brunswick with my terrible street "photography", on the search for a decent image. So far, no such luck but it's always worth trying. I seem to have chosen an interesting time of the day to shoot, there was lots of interesting light about - even if I wasn't able to make anything interesting of it.

Street photography is one of those things that requires you to really just be out there. More time out there means that you give yourself more opportunity to make something interesting. Something I hope to do one of these days! This episode was shot with the Leica M9 and the Minolta 28mm M-Rokkor attached, largely zone focused to 1 or 1.5 metres depending on if I felt like having the shot in focus, or not.

Join me every week for more POV, street and general horrible content. Thanks for reading and watching.
