Tipster: Street shooting
Tipster: Street shooting (Articles from lomography)
Want to shoot in the street but not sure how? Read on to find out! Street shooting tips I learned from lomo outings and talks in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
One of the first thing I learned from the talk is about preparation. Next is about telling stories through your photos.

*Where (is the location?)

1.Preparation before the event
Equipment
*Camera body – which to bring? (For me I’ll bring suitable cameras according to the location— I brought my Diana Mini and action sampler for my first lomo outing)
Lenses – Which to bring? (If your camera can change lens)
*Films- How many to bring? Which to bring? ISO high or low? (I love high ISO so I normally bring 400 or 800 to be able to shoot in low light condition)
Batteries – enough to last throughout the event (for your flash and camera)
*Camera bag – Backpack/sling bag

*Research on the case (event)
*History – Do keep in mind that you are telling stories through photos
*Understanding (whether the event is an open/closed event) (Do not upload/publish photos that are taken in private events)
*Knowing WHO’s who (Meaning that you identify the identity of the person(s) you took)
