Street with a tele

[Markok765]

I went to a gallery in Torontos distillery district today. I saw some street done with just a tele 200mm lens. I spoke to the photographer, and he said that a wide limits you in street photos. He also said that Canon zooms are as good quality as Leica primes. He also said that digi black and white is the same as film black and white.

I can't believe this.

Who cares?

[Mick Fagan]

I cannot believe this either, but if the other person believes that, fine!

Mick.

If he has work in a gallery based on a system that works for him, great.

But I think he's full of sh*t.

[Markok765]

He says that I should change my photographic style to suit the market. Should I release his name here?

[david b]

sure what's his name.

I'd love to see this work.

And yes, you should change what you do to accommodate the public.

David I wouldn't change my style. I DO have standards.

[david b]

Too late.

I was kidding with you Marko.

Just don't ask me to do it. Even 50 seems too long for me for street shooting. I don't thing I have taken the 25mm Biogon off for the last three months. Here's what I have been getting - fortunately, as a hobbyist, I am in a position to ignore the "market."
