A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have a 50mm prime lens that's really awful at focusing. How do I learn to manually focus for street photography?

Don't shoot action wide open unless you have a high tolerance for misses; there's a reason the old press photographer adage was "f/8 and be there".
