Before the Rule — Ep 2: Zone Focusing

Best picture

Often happens before you focus.

This is why old-time photographers

No, wait for the camera to focus.

But "set the distance ahead."

Zone Focusing is to determine depth of field.

Give everything in that range "instant sharp."

Such as:

Set it at 2-3 meters.

F / 8

Whoever walks in this distance

You lift the camera... and shoot immediately.

No delay.

No missing the moment.

This is how legendary street photography

Was created.

📷 Photography

Start by looking at the light.

Not set up the camera.

And sometimes...

It starts with "prep."

Click to follow Studio Muse.

And you'll start seeing pictures before you lift the camera.
