Street photography

Street photography is great fun, but not so easy.

So many things can go wrong and there's not a lot of time to set the camera up. You blink and you miss the photo opportunity.

In essence, it's all about being at the right place on a right time. With your camera ready.

My cameras

My cameras used to be seen almost as an enemy by my friends when they saw me dragging them around.

Gary (my husband) has learnt over the years that a simple trip to the corner shop in Florence can take hours if the camera comes with us.

In this era of selfies, some people still appreciate a good old-fashioned camera. Especially when you need good quality prints of the photos.

People

It's always a bit tricky to take photos of people you don't know.

On the other hand, taking photos of people you know may not be any easier.

People see the camera and they get all crisp and tense. And then there are those who insist their photo to be taken - the result is rarely exceptional.

Best people photos are the sneaky ones.
