1: 50/50 Nikon D90 / Sony Nex
2: Leica M9P + 35mm
3: Shoot. A lot. Be inside the action, to feel what´s going on with small focal lenght, or step back to realize a worthy context, but never be afraid to press the shutter. Never. You´re doing nothing wrong.

1. I have a 5DmkII and an EOS300 (film). Both share the same 35mm f/2 lens. I use them almost equally.
2. I think the best camera is the one in your hand. I know it is a cliche but then again the problem most if the times is not at the camera but at the photographer.

You don't know who Sudor is? He is way more than a photographer, he is an artist with photography as his chosen medium. He calls Paris home and for large parts of his life, he has been depicting the world as he sees it. He is certainly a great street photographer, but he is way much more.

LIGHTHOUSE GALLERY.
Dear Street Photography afficionados,
We at the #The-Yard-Collective are happy to introduce you our new gallery: The LightHouse!
Every month a group of three of our moderators, *DougNZ, *MARX77 and ~kingmouf will pick a number of notable photos from Yard's galleries and propose them to all moderators. After a voting process, the top three photos will be featured in the LightHouse Gallery.
After the selection process, we will present those photos with a comment from the gallery's curators.
So 'nough with the talking and let's present you the first.. four... selections for the gallery! A tie in the voting process forced us to accept more photos this time. The photos will be presented in no particular order.

Street Photography - The OriginsAs we all know from the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding everything was invented by the Greeks. Well, ok we left some trivial things to be invented by the Chinese as well. What you may not know is that Street photography was also invented by the Greeks before Photography itself was even invented.
Seriously now:
Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment or "the supreme moment". The Greeks believed the concept of Kairos is achieved when such a moment is grasped for otherwise the moment is gone and cannot be re-captured. According to ancient Greeks, Kairos was the god of the “fleeting moment.”
Interestingly the ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While chro

Thanks to everyone who took the time to send their thoughts about their favourite films! If you are not included but want to share your favourite film as well, please feel free to do so in the comments!
Well then, let's get started!
:iconnfilipevs: ~nfilipevs
so fav film would be:
kodak tri-x 400
but i also like fuji neopan 400 very much
It's all about taste, I really enjoy the grain and sharpness it produces and for me it's the best in terms of tones and contrast. it gives me that moody and contrasty look that I want, every time.
in the neopan the grain and the tones are a bit different but I love the results as well
