Life Rushes By – Dusk in the City
Street Photography in Singapore outside Funan Digital Mall.

Taken without a tripod and my new D70s resting on the cathedral gate with the lens, body supported by my hand. The technique is called bracing.
When you don’t have a tripod, and you are doing street photography use whatever you can, lean on a tree, rest your camera on a wall or a fence, or even a friends shoulder to steady it.
I had to use max aperture so it was over-exposed, as with no tripod I still had to keep the shutter speed down to 1.6 seconds.
Street photography is about grabbing the scene, capturing the essence of the moment, I’m still trying to master that.
