What I Forgot to Mention
The 'rule' of 1/focal length for shutter speed assumes full frame; crop sensors need faster speeds (e.g. 1/50 for 35mm on FF, 1/80 equivalent on APS-C).
The Creative Intent
A lot of beginners think night tripod. I wanted to show that with IBIS and fast primes, you can get keepers handheld and keep the spontaneity of street.
Key Emphasis Points
- —IBIS gives you 3–4 stops; combine with f/1.4 and you're shooting 1/15 at ISO 1600.
- —Embrace grain; clean shadows often look worse than a bit of noise.
- —Focus on the eyes or the main light source; recompose after locking focus.
