Zooming in from a distance gave me my best street shot yet
Last weekend, I took my zoom lens to the farmer's market. Most street photographers swear by prime lenses for being fast and close. I thought I'd test that rule. From across the square, I spotted a vendor sharing a laugh with a little kid. With a quick zoom, I caught their big smiles without stepping in. I got a shot that feels alive and honest. If I had my prime, I might have missed it by moving too slow. So maybe gear rules can hold us back from real moments. Let's focus on the photos, not the lens!
