digital street photography?
i really into street photography and been doing the amateur version of it for a while.
the question is, can i do street photography with DSLR? because i stick with my DSLR all the time and always have it lug on my neck.
well, i do own a SLR (nikon fm) and love it so much, but i dont have time for films 
though im now saving for a bessa rangefinder but i think i’ll stick with my DSLR for a while.
so, can i do street photography with DSLR? thanks
I understand what you mean, street photography is like any other though. But having a big DSLR defeats the purpose, in most cases. Anyone answering any different doesn’t really “get” street photography. You need a camera that’s small, light, and inconspicuous. I’ve wanted to shoot street for a while, but always felt as though I stuck out like a sore thumb carrying around my nikon D80, even as small as it was compared to the 5D my friend uses. So I went out on a limb and got a new, smaller camera – the olympus E-P1, a micro-4/3 digital camera. It’s basically a compact camera with a 4/3 sensor, which works well for being inconspicuous. We’d recently done a shoot at our city botanical garden, and where he’d set up his tripod and long macro lens (which basically disrupted traffic and called attention to himself), I just snapped about.
In terms of street photography, especially where candid shooting is concerned, having a small camera is nice. That is why I suspect using your FM was good, being that it’s a small SLR. But film has gone the way of the dodo, for most people, so to find a DSLR that can be as convenient is hard (considering they aren’t as small as their 35mm predecessors). Ultimately, I disagree that any DSLR can be used for street photography, and had been my quandary. People see a DSLR being raised to someone’s eye and they instantly know what’s going on – which ruins the grit and spontaneity of the intended shot. I like my new camera because it’s smaller and less obvious. It’s very reminiscent of a the old rangefinders, being the perferred choice of most street photographers and photojournalists for years, only mine is digital and not a rangefinder.
Anyway, that would be my suggestion. Check it out, it’s worth consideration. I love it.
