That late morning visit to the nursery

This is one of my first runs on the S6 camera, which is pretty amazing, as you can see. The following photos has been cropped but not filtered. I particularly like the depth of field on the camera. The auto focus is pretty decent, but like all cameras, there is sometimes the need to guide the focus to the point you want. This is done through tapping on the point and 90 percent of the time, this is really easy to do. The rest of the time, it is the simple extra step of pointing the camera someone else first and re-focusing the camera.

The S6 really has a lovely and very enjoyable camera.

That afternoon at Jalan Masjid India & some thoughts on Street Photography

It was one of those random afternoon. I was tagging along for the ride. There weren't many people around and there was more 'scene' to observe. As a photographer who leans on the conservative end of the people ethics school of thought, I have always been sensitive about having people in my photos. Yes, I have heard of all about creative licences and artistic freedom of expression and even the moral obligation arguments. At the end of the day, I guess it all comes down to this: That works for you and this works for me. We will just have to agree to disagree.

This is where I stand where street photography is concerned: I think it is not right to photograph people without their permission for any reason whatsoever, especially the most vulnerable people in our society. People do not automatically consent to being photographed simply by virtue of being out in public. I believe that it is the responsibility of a photo lies with the photographer solely. And the photographer has no right to assume consent.
