▶︎ Lenses for Street Photography:
– Sony: & (I put the cheaper versions)
– Canon: or or
– Nikon: or
Note: If a Sigma Art version is available for those lenses and your camera system get it, it’s really good.
– M4/3: 12mm or 42.5mm depending on your camera system.

✚ Settings for night street photography:
1/ If you want long exposure: here is a trick, start with the highest ISO possible just to check the framing. Then go down to 5-30s if you want car lights trails
2/ If you just want situational shots, use the tips I gave in the Start Crushing Street Photo video. But this time maybe allow your shutter to go a bit slower
3/ Depending on your camera you might want to limit your ISO from going too high. I’m good until 12800.
4/ Shoot at the lowest aperture possible – for a nice shallow DOF and bokeh.
5/ I shoot in A with the min SS down to 1/125s – or all manually. Up to you really.
6/ Underexpose a little to keep information in the highlights and recover shadows with less high ISO noise.

✚ Gear at Night:
1/ Lens, lens, lens, get the lens with the widest aperture possible. 1,4 ,18, 2.0. Stick to primes if you cant.
2/ I don’t use tripods except for a flexible one but feel free too – I don’t like carrying it around except in nature. In the city, I always find somewhere to put the camera (table, bench, my backpack…).

✚ Overall tips/ideas:
– Use the environment you’re in. The goal is not to light up the whole scene but only showcase what is being lit
– Find reflections
– Do long exposure to get cars lights trails
– Use neon lights / street signs
– BOKEH with the lights !! So smoooooooth!

Guys get out there and go shoot some epic stuff (yes even if 99% will be trash, go for the 1%).

    Night is my fallback for those cloudy days when there isn't any contrasting light. You can't go wrong with artificial light sources, as they are always on, always there, and they are everywhere you go in the city. I shoot Program Auto, with the ISO set at anywhere between 3200 and 12800, in order to drive the fastest shutter speed possible to freeze motion. I don't really worry about noise, as my Sony has excellent noise reduction built in.
