Hello friends,

First, let's press the play button of our cassette player so that we can read it with music. Gnossienne No: 1,2,3 from Erik Satie is one of the many songs that come to my mind when it comes to street photography. I don't know why, but I feel great loneliness and sadness whenever I listen to this song. Isn't it on the streets? Crowded loneliness and sadness.

I put my articles on street photography into a series. If you want to look at my previous posts,you can click I and II.

In my last article, I explained why I love street photography. It was an emotional article for me. Today, I would like to give some information about what should be considered in street photography. We all spend good money for photo hobbyists and our equipment is really expensive.

Therefore, it is useful to conduct research before going to places that we do not know. Some neighborhoods of some countries can be really dangerous. On one side of the camera, we can hardly save our lives. For this reason, our destination must be researched in advance.

Apart from that, the second important issue may be different rules regarding the photography where we went during the trip. Some things may be forbidden. Flying a drone may be prohibited. Photographing children may be prohibited. This list goes on and on. For this reason, it is necessary to do serious research on the internet about where we are going.

Another issue is the battery power that happens to all amateurs. A serious street photographer has at least 2 spare batteries besides ... I recommend visiting with 3 lenses that can be used according to the situation and at least 2 spare batteries. Especially in mirrorless machines, 3 or even 4 batteries can be carried because the battery runs out more quickly.

It is always good for us to have a plastic bag, lens and sensor cleaning kit, a small pocket knife and a well-lit flashlight in our bag. Obviously if we can fit it in a T-shirt and a hat, it would be great for the bag. At the end of a long walk, we sweat and changing our clothes feels very good.

Depending on the location we visit, we may or may not be charged more. As a result of your research, you will decide. It would be foolish to go to a deserted place without taking water. But it is foolish to bring bottles of water to a place where the man's head is sold.

Dear friends, I am really curious about your comments on this subject. I would appreciate if you share your opinions about this topic with me in the comments section.

Take care yourself and have a nice day everyone...!
