Motion Photography – Candid Street Photos from 6th Ave New York City
Motion photography is the art of taking photos without having to stop, focus, meter & click. It is where both the photographer & the subject are in motion. These candid street photos are from the 6th Avenue, NYC.
The idea of motion photography is to take candid street photos while in motion. Unlike usual photography, you do not get to stand, wait, focus, meter & click. Instead, you predict the position of the subject, set your aperture, focus & shutter speed and click.
With this type of photography, there is always a possibility of missing the right moment. But once you have done it for a while, you would get the hang of it. And then, motion street photography is a lot of fun!
These motion photos are from the 6th Ave NYC, one of the most popular avenues in NYC for fashion, street photography & portrait photos. These 6th Avenue street photos are taken from the hip with a handheld Nikon D200, set in manual mode.
A fast wide angle lens like the 17mm – 35mm Nikon or the 35mm Nikon lens are best suited for motion photos in streets. I prefer to use the prime lenses since they reduce the camera shake or the lens telescoping while handling. The portrait photos were taken along the 6th Avenue, NYC.
