3 Mistakes that Keep you From Getting the Street Photos you Want

Do you ever feel like you aren’t getting the shots you would like as a street photographer?

This week’s YouTube video shares 3 mistakes or things you can do differently to prevent you missing the photos you want.

  1. Walking too Fast - things happen in front of you, behind you, all around you when you are looking for a photograph. When you walk too fast you run the risk of missing out on something.

  2. Not Staying Long enough in one spot - be patient, wait for things to develop. Even though you may have taken some photos in a spot, pay attention because if you linger a bit, something better may just materialize.

  3. Don’t wear headphones - I love music and wearing headphones while I walk, but when I’m walking the streets with a [photography] purpose I don’t want to miss anything. A sound can tip you off to something happening around you that you can’t see. If the music prevents you from hearing, you may miss something good!

Definitely take a watch - and let me know what you think!
