Street Photography with Panasonic Lumix LX3 -Day1.

I visited ERIC KIM Blog to-day and I read his two popular post  Street Photography with Leica M9...
and Tips How NOT to Look Like a “Creep” when Shooting in the Streets...Really enjoyed this video to see Eric in action.It kinda cool but I'm sure about doing this kind of shoot in Malaysia or in the street of Kuching City.

Another bad day for me to do street photography.Soon after that a very heavy thunder storm in our small city of Kuching so  I decided NO street photography to-day.
When we talk about street photography, what normally springs to mind is black and white photography. Many famous photographers have published photo’s using this platform. Obviously there are many older photo’s that have just been in black and white only. These days we are lucky enough to have a choice.  Previously I have shown some photo’s that have been colour. Today I’m going to share with you some of my black and white photo’s
The scene’s here are typical local thunder storm.
Another Street Photogreaphy tip…choose what feature will best suit your picture. Black and White or Colour.
The scene here people love reading for free

One of the best things about point and shoot cameras is that they are small enough to always be on you no matter what. The average point and shoot camera can fit in anybody’s front jean pocket (unless you wear extremely tight skinny jeans). Half the battle of becoming a better street photographer is simply to take as many photos as you can.
Since its still heavy rain outside I prefer to do some free reading inside our popular book store in the city.Also don’t forget–when you are shooting with a point and shoot the shutter is nearly silent. This means when you are taking photos in quiet places (at a cafe, in a subway train, or in a store) they are much less likely to notice you.Now watch the two photos here in a store to-day.
Taking photos in quiet places
Do you use a point and shoot camera for street photography? .

Great sky! I often use my old Nikon D80 for street and landscape photography - it's fast and it can be shoved in a bag really quickly.
