PM-R TV | Street Photography with the SONY a7C with the Lensbaby Composer & Sweet 50 in Toronto, ON Canada @PMRTV | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Every once in a while I get to spend time in a city other than mine and I get the gift of time to shoot a little on my own, away from the normal assignments. Today was one such glorious day, when I had no agenda but discovery, no assignment but my own, and a whole gorgeous Autumn day to spend by myself in one of my favorite Canadian cities: Toronto. My choice of equipment was easy. I chose the SONY a7C because it is so lightweight and the battery lasts forever. I chose one lens which was the Lensbaby Composer with their Sweet 50 attached. I love dong selective focus photography and this setup is perfect for walking the 5.8 miles I managed today. I could literally follow the light, watch people, see things come together, be patient, and shoot to my heart's content. Typically, I shoot the Sweet 50 at about f/2.8, not quite wide open but almost. I then use the camera's shutter speed to control the exposure, using manual ISO set mostly at 160. I simply compose the shot by moving the front of the lens towards where the subject is in the frame, focus, and shoot. I hope you like the results.
