All the greats from back in the day survived with just a rangefinder and film.
Why can’t you?
Are you afraid to fail?
Then don’t try street photography because you will get many more unusable frames than useable ... especially when you start out.
It’s not just learning your light and how to meter it.
No fucking way.
It’s using depth-of-field to either isolate or include or blend a subject into their environment.
Why would you want to do any of these things?
Look at the work of the greats.
Their work will show you why.
Then you’ll understand.
Not everything is at f/8 aperture priority. Or programme. When I see a shooter’s camera set to programme I lose all respect.
Some things are more vague.
And rightfully so.
I don’t know why anyone would want to use shutter priority.
I mean ... let a fucking camera pick the f/stop?
A sin.
A camera does not or should not think.
That is the job for a photographer.
