"/raises hand. Been behind the lens since my mid to teens. Tried photographing many things. I've been using prime lenses for the last few years. They make you work a little more to get the shot. Very often I'll try something and when I look at it, I think close but not quite. This results in me having hundreds of shots of the same thing. People are the hardest to capture I think. Add in artificial lighting and things get even more complicated. I do like going out with a small fast prime lens looking for detail, reflections or the golden hour light. What about you op?" Mines mostly a mixture of landscape,wildlife and the odd macro with mostly telephoto lenses 18 - 135 & 70 - 300, i’m lucky where i live that i have countryside all around me and also the coast an hour away so i have a varied mix. i’ve also just been asked to do some sports photography for a company so hopefully dipping my feet into portrait photography too | |||

I’m tempted by a nifty 50 especially for this photoshoot and want to try a bit more black & white photography too. Do you find yourself always carrying too much with you when you go out? i’m trying to teach myself less is more "I can guarantee you the first time you try with a fifty you'll feel so limited. You have to use your legs to get the shot. But once you see the results you should see the appeal of them. It really is a less is more scenario. With regards to taking everything out with me, yeah I did that. I don't anymore though. Ideally a single lens and tripod. If it's people indoors then a light as well. I try to think what's the best tool for the job and if I get it wrong then that's a learning experience. | |||

"I take mostly landscapes, done a lot of woodland scenes recently. It gets me out in the fresh air, most of the time I combine it with a walk so keeps me fit(ish) too! " That seems to be my big thing, but love the norfolk coast for seascape and sunset | |||

Yes….35mm Prime is the way to go for street and then all of a sudden it just clicks what street photography really is. And I like fast 45/50 f/1.8 prime for portraits and glamour For artificial light outside in urban areas 2 minutes before the end of golden hour then watch the red vanish and through blue hour with a prime lens in rush hour / cities the light frequency as street lights come on balances the fading sun.  | |||

I like the creative process taking an abstract idea and bringing it to life to tell a micro-story "That’s awesome and i’ve never thought of it that way, i just love keeping a snapshot of life and what i see, but then i love the challenge of getting it right which obviously isn’t going to happen first time. | |||

"I once tried a manual focus Voigtländer Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95!!! took the most amazing portraits but after a while the manual focus got in the way a bit and it cost a fortune so I send it back. I miss it though  | |||

" ... People are the hardest to capture I think. Add in artificial lighting and things get even more complicated. ..." Completely agree people are funny shapes and features can distort with different lenses. I got into photography capturing images while out walking, so most of mine are landscape/city scape shots, with occational flowers or animals. Would like to do more people work, but as always it's finding the time... | |||

That does sound a bit mental "It's not quite as mental as it sounds. The idea is not to burn them and it is very visual and dramatic. As a kid did you ever put lighter petrol on your hand, light it and then blow it out? | |||
