photography gear: canon 1000d with sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OS

result:

conclusion: photo shooting after raining is a great experience, the water drops and the natural lighting were quite a chanllenge in control to get the correct WB and colour tone. at the same time, i need a faster lens for moving objects and more DOF in every capture.

conclusion:

1/10~1/8 with f/6.3~8 are the most suitable set up for handheld street shooting at night. (depend on actual situation).

photo composition and street lighting are the toughest challenge in the crowd and in the dark.

after all this is a good experience with my gear. ^ ^
