Melbourne Candid Series #360 Elizebath St, Melbourne

 

I attempted 135mm fixed focal length to do a trial candid shoot in street. Quite a different perspective. The folks in camera club often told me not to use telephoto lenses in street photography.

I have sided with Instagram style street shots that do not show people's faces clearly. This is actually considered as a taboo in street photography. But I notice every wrong style is now acceptable - thanks to smart phone prevalence.
