To think outside the box, let's try street photography in autofocus at aperture 1.4! 1. *Excellent Low Light Performance* - *f/1.4* allows you to capture clear and sharp images even in low light conditions, without having to increase the ISO excessively. This is particularly useful for street photography at night or in poorly lit environments, such as alleys or dimly lit interiors. But also in rainy weather in broad daylight while maintaining a high speed (1/1000S) in order to freeze the action. 2. *Reduced Depth of Field and Bokeh Effect* - A wide aperture like *f/1.4* creates a very reduced depth of field, allowing the subject to clearly stand out from the background. This background blur effect (bokeh) is often used to isolate subjects in a dense urban environment, making the image more striking and aesthetically pleasing, similar to cinema techniques. - It can also add an artistic look to your photos, emphasizing specific details while making the background less distracting. 3. *Speed and Flexibility* - An *f/1.4* lens allows you to work with faster shutter speeds, which is crucial for capturing spontaneous moments on the street. Street scenes move quickly, and the ability to freeze the action without motion blur is a major plus. - This speed also allows you to react quickly to changes in light, which is essential in a street environment where conditions can change suddenly.
