    When I first starting photography everyone recommended my first lens to be 50mm 1.8, I really hate it cause is not wide enough( every beginner want to shot super wide pictures and knew nothing bout low light cause always crank up the ISO) as I moving on nifty fifty has become such a big help in the process learning about photography.

    When it comes to the framing, I used to do it as well, white frames, 3 horizontal posts then 3 vertical posts. I don't anymore. I use mainly a 4x5 crop and roll I tout that way, just provides this cool seamless look in my feed now.

    The 50 was one of my favorites on Sony, but my absolute go to lens was the 28mm f2. That is hands down the best street photo lens for E mount, and it's also cheap, and the build quality is actually pretty nice, better than the 50. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. 😉

    7:14 I've wanted to tell that you actually in some countries would be vaunted for it, especially when you are so close to some people like woth taxi driver.
    I did today session also, 3h of pure 600 street rain photos and after rain. I wasn't too close to people cause there people are quite aggressive. On the day you can see few peoples who will say it too you but the best thing you can put some vibes on and shoot. You will not have to worry about what you do. This is my advice for some people who didn't used to it and feel sometimes awkward like me.
