    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Slightly different Z topic. Has anyone tried using powerbanks for charging of the Z cameras that either allow in-use in camera battery charging via USB-C I think the Z6/7 can be USBc charged in non-use and I think the Z6/7 ii Z8 & Z9 can be USBc charged in-use But are there any specifications...

    Beginner Appropriate? Please comment

    Thats the issue these days, things aren't judged and tarred with the 999/1000 people who are simply going about their business with no malice but the 1/1000 who is that ruins it and sets the mindset for everyone else

    Hannah Waddingham vs photographer

    that seems to be general trend of things, if you choose to do something then its empowering, if someone else produces exactly the same thing involving you then its oppression.

    and a photo that wins a camera club photo competition for being technically excellent may not reap any commercial reward, and vice versa.

    100% agree with this. I've mentioned before the term "street photography" is usually actually Social Reportage - telling a story of socials interacting with or in the street through a still image. There are so many photo out there put in the street photography genre that are really just a photo...

    Street Photography Series Explores the Urge to Take Photos of Strangers

    Ok I will. Personally it does nothing as it doesn't really invoke any story or wonderment as to whats happening. its an urban portrait

    not at all, sometimes the use of a telephoto can create subject>background separation if thats the image you're going for.

    I guess thats a style. Personally i'm with @AndrewFlannigan on this one, i prefer subjects just going about their business rather than noticing the camera as usually they then play to the camera rather than simply being "natural" Agreed. he does capture great street contrast
