Dear Streethunters.net Readers,
It has been over two months since the previous episode of Street Talk, but we are now back and we aim to continue posting videos on a biweekly basis just like before. With all the preparations for the 3rd Annual Street Hunters meeting, the London Street Photography Festival and the PhoS Athens Street Photography festival there are so many exciting things that need to be done!
Christoph Wuzella is the winner of the March 2017 Monthly Theme Contest. He is a Street Photographer is based in Vienna, where he produces the majority of his work. Two months ago, Christoph won the “Flash Street Photography” monthly theme contest. His images was selected from a pool of 28 flash street photography themed photographs!
Since January we have introduced new prizes for the winners of these monthly theme contests. All prizes aim to give the winners massive exposure on our website and our social profiles. But what are those prizes?
Dear Streethunters.net Readers hello!
It has been a while since the previous Street Hunt. Due to the fact that Street Hunt videos require some time to be shot, edited and prepared for post, we are not posting as many as we used to, so we are sorry for that. However, we are trying to keep our YouTube channel active with our new series called Street Talk. If you haven’t read or heard about Street Talk yet, you can always jump to the Street Talk introductory blog post or visit the Street Talk YouTube Playlist that is part of the Street Hunters YouTube channel.
Today I am happy to present to you with our latest Street Hunt video, Street Hunt #23 that we shot in Athens, Greece.

Dear Streethunters.net Readers,
It has been a while since our previous Street Talk episode, but I was facing some technical difficulties. My Sony ActionCam got into a jam and I had to send it off to Sony for repair. Now it is back and I can start recording the Street Talk episodes again.
Most of the times I teach a workshop or I go on a photowalk I get asked the “zone focus” question. What is funny is that although zone focusing is a very old manual focusing technique that was used by most if not all photographers before the days of autofocus technology, it seems like it has gradually been “forgotten” by younger shooters. Is zone focusing a dying focusing technique? Far from it!
Personally I use zone focusing 99% of the time and I also tap into the sweet hyperfocal distance magic spot where everything is in focus. I find it so easy and so fast, much faster than any af system. Anyway, if you want to find out more about zone focusing and hyperfocal, click play on the video below and check it out. If you are person that prefers reading to watching and you also like understanding lots of technical details, you can always visit our very popular Learn Zone Focusing and Hyperfocal Distance in Street Photography blog post. Everything you need to know about the technique is there in detail.
One of the most common questions I get asked by the Streethunters.net Readers and viewers on the Street Hunters YoutTube channel is what is a hip shot and how it is made. So, I thought that discussing the hip shot technique in one of the Street Talk episodes would be a good idea.
Exciting times dear Readers!
Today we are releasing the 1st Third Party Street Hunt on our YouTube channel. It is a video that has been made by one of our Readers in the Street Hunt style we started 3-4 years ago as an experiment. That 1st Street Hunt video was followed by another and another and now we have 22 Street Hunt videos online for you to enjoy. Those 22 Street Hunts are the reason why our YouTube Channel has now grown to 10500 subscribers!
About a three weeks ago we shared with you a video “Street Talk #04” in which we were announcing these 3rd party street hunts. You can watch the video and read the related post Street Talk Episode 4 – “Announcing 3rd part street hunts” for more info.
The first video we are releasing today is by Daniel Tschitsch, a street photographer from Germany. You can view the video below and if you want more information on Daniel, you can visit his YouTube channel or his website.
