Yeah it’s a struggle. But it gets easier. It might help to break the ice if you start asking people for portraits. In general, people might ask where pictures might show up, so it helps if you have a good answer for that (regardless of candid shot or not).

    50mm is generally a little tight for classic street photography, but it’s fine to get started (27 to 35mm is the sweet spot). People will argue endlessly what counts as street photography, even though it has a clear definition: candid moments on the street involving people. A cityscape or car is not street. Two people laughing at each other is street. A closeup of an interesting face is street. A person aware of being photographed, posing for the camera, shot with a blurry background is a street portrait. Get close (your 50mm makes this a bit more comfortable, but you get a different look). You generally want at least f/5.6, but ideally tighter aperture so you get most things sharp. Good luck!

    Oh, it “wasn’t made clear” SUUURE. Addressing a blowback could be way better if you admitted a mistake instead of gaslighting your users. Not the way to earn back lost trust.

    There is no mention of that being the case (or otherwise). But the fact that the author is clearly explaining they don’t have data loss, they have more or less bricked devices makes it seem like this is a bad faith argument.
