      Yes, but too bad the photographer dont spend more time talking to great characters like this guy. He's just like "Can I take your photo?", "Thank you" and "good bye".

    I am a subscriber to your channel, but would just like to say keep up the great work and posting these great videos and your photos are really getting good...I also think you are developing a definite style and look with your finished images, which is aesthetically very pleasing and holds attention, and tells a story..
    I'm waiting for a new lens (second-hand) to arrive any day now...I would normally shoot with a fast prime, 28mm, 35, or 50mm, for urban/street photography, but there is no need for restriction..the new lens I'm waiting for is a Tamron 17-50mm standard zoom, with a constant f/2.8 aperture and I can't wait to get onto my local city streets and see how it performs and what I can capture.

If you have a dslr then you could try the shutter speed priority mode. Sometimes the type of focus that you have set might be the problem too. I’d say just watch a few videos about it and maybe read from more experienced photographers👍 good luck
