Lumix GX9 auto settings and modes for street photography One of the most common questions from newcomers is ‘what settings should I be using for street shots”?

Pedley Street / Fleet Street Hill I've always found this gritty urban location (just off Brick Lane), in Bethnal Green/Shoreditch, London interesting. One of the reasons is that each time you visit you more or less get a new photo because the street art and graffiti changes so often! Also, depending on the time of day, the light and shadow changes the image and its fun to experiment with different perspectives under this quiet, cobbled railway arch.

Seen in.... Notting Hill, London - Protest for George Floyd A wall graffiti scrawl with the simple statement 'Protest for George Floyd' on a freshly painted green wall. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while he was handcuffed face down in the street. Some may will argue, George Floyd was no saint, however in that moment in time, if one cannot see that his death was one of sheer, blatant police brutality and a lack of accountability, (one of many), t ..read more
