The official page for the Street Shots Photography Podcast And when you’re in love with photography all you really want to do is take pictures!

As every professional photographer knows, taking control of your camera’s basic settings is the doorway to real creativity. Most people new to photography have a vague sense that it’s possible to control the camera’s settings, but are intimidated by the myth that to do so requires years of technical study. That’s where the Switch to Manual photo workshops come in. Our two professional photographer

s will give you a practical overview of the two manual settings you’ll want to master (shutter speed and aperture) and then you go out and shoot. Instead of a bunch of technical jargon, our instructors will explain these settings in everyday language. By the end of the day you’ll understand how these camera controls relate to each other. You’ll be in control of your camera and not the other way around. You’ll be adjusting both to get the image you want, no matter the situation. In addition to our workshops, we offer photo walks in some of the most photogenic locations in the New York City and Brooklyn area. Spend a morning at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens or in the trendy industrial Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook or walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. Spend an afternoon in Coney Island, Green-Wood Cemetery or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. During these photo walks, our photographers will offer hands-on advice regarding how to get the most from your camera equipment. They will advise about composition, lighting, and lenses. With our guides and your camera, you’ll be ending the day with memorable images. Most walks last between 2-3 hours and are a great way to visit these great locations in the city, with camera in hand. Our workshops and photo walks run year-round. Check out the schedule and sign up. Soon you’ll Switching to Manual in just one day!

In a laid-back chat, Ward and Antonio delve into two topics. First, they explore the process of curating photos for Antonio’s upcoming show, sharing tips on creating a flow and narrative. They stress the importance of capturing the details while considering the bigger picture. Trusting instincts and avoiding overthinking is a key aspect of curation. The conversation then shifts to street photography and lenses, with Ward and Antonio casually sharing their personal preferences. They name-drop some famous photographers who favor different lenses and engage in a friendly debate about the merits of zoom lenses versus prime lenses. They even chat about the challenges of using telephoto lenses in street photography. Oh, and Antonio quickly mentions a cool new lens for experimentation. Overall, a relaxed conversation between the boys, covering curation insights and lens choices for capturing the streets.

A self portrait that is a good representation of how I feel now after the recent death of my wife. Very much in pieces, fragmented, not whole and with a camera and cat as witness.

Switch to Manual Video Tip - Check those settings!

Video Tip - Every photographer knows about missed shots. Sometimes you don't have your camera with you, or you can't get it out in time. But some shots are missed for technical reasons, meaning the settings are so off target there's no information in the file to work with post production. In this video tip, Tom talks about some basic adjustments he makes when he starts out a day of shooting to avoid blowing his first few shots....
