Lean on the Wall
Just outside the English Market, Grand Parade, Cork. Street photography is hard. It’s difficult to shoot candid photos of people on the street and get a picture in focus that is pin sharp. To aid me in that task I used the auto ISO setting on my camera, with a minimum shutter speed of an…
