Raymond Depardon : Manhattan OutLate in 1980 French photographer, photojournalist and documentary maker Raymond Depardon arrived in New York, visiting a friend and with time to kill he roamed the wild streets of this once notoriously dangerous city with only his trusty Leica for company. Deciding upon capturing the essence of this city by taking pictures without thought, preparation or even using the viewfinder of his camera, Depardon caught the grit, displaced glamour and rawness of this truly vibrant city in it's most exciting of times. Strangely disappointed with his work, the photographs remained buried for almost 30 years, upon rediscovering his 'lost' work, Depardon realised that most of his subjects were infact aware of his camera and their knowing glances embody the unique, raw beauty of this collection of period photography. This rather stunning book from heavyweight artbook gurus, Steidl Publishers, captures a time and place in New York's legendary 'gritty' history that we all too often fantasise about.

How Street Taught Me To Shoot LionsI feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit wonderful Kenya for the second time in my life. The first time around was almost two decades ago and it was at a time when my photography was not that developed. Someday I will go through the old slides and scan them... I made a promise to do so. I might even find a few worth sharing here, but my shots were more of scapes and trees and such, and rarely of wild animals... they simply were too fast for my skills at that time.
This time around I went with the best camera I ever owned and the best lenses I could afford, to try and shoot wild life like I never did before... literally, I have no experience in shooting wild life to draw upon... with the exception of that asphalt jungle.

As some of you might know, I have been doing some street photography of late... OK, OK, I've been mainly doing that. So I hoped to draw from these experiences on my safaris.

( The street in the eyes of a street photographer )
By: Felix Lupa.
It all began many years ago, in the dense rain-forests somewhere in South America. A small, elderly spider opened his eyes in the dark. A battle-cry echoed in his little head. It was a basic, ancient insatiable instinct. When the stomach growls nothing will stop it. It is a basic instinct, not a movie. For him it is the nature of things- he strikes out to hunt!
He crawled quietly out of his hiding-place, on his way to the endless hunting grounds, in the direction of targets he had marked when he was going here and there…never lazy, he had set small net-traps in strategic places: "by the time I am back the 'frige' will have filled up" he thought "and a bit to bite on the road never did one any harm". He moved quietly, his steps light, all his senses alert: he will strike out from his hiding place, paralyze his prey and disappear leaving no trace.
"The place where no human foot has been set".ThisStreet photography by ~felixlu

Mastering Manual FocusHave you ever cursed your camera for missing that special moment in the streets? Do you ever struggle to get the subject quickly in focus before the fleeting moment is lost forever in the aether? Well then why not try manual focus? Below is a brief guide to a few key manual focus techniques that can help you capture the decisive moment.
Prime Lenses
Before we can look at the benefits of manual focus, we first have to discuss the use of prime lenses. The reason prime lenses have become a staple of street photographers is simple: speed. Without the need to select a focal length, and forcing yourself to work with one field of view (FOV) you can drastically reduce the time necessary for framing the subject. Of course, the single focal length puts a constraint on what the photographer can do. It also forces us to use our feet. You might think this can slow things down, and zooming would allow you to change perspective more quickly. However, by practicing with the constraint in place,Mastering Manual Focus by =burningmonk
