Waiting in Soho

Waiting in Soho, originally uploaded by pamhule.

Someone was not happy about having to wait in Soho this weekend.

I've been experimenting with some different street photography techniques lately. I have Canon's 50mm 1.4 lens, which generally can produce some pretty sharp images once you go down to an aperture of around 1.8 - 2.0. It's horribly slow at focusing though and, in my experience, often not very accurate. So I decided to try focusing manually and estimating the distance between the subject and the camera on the go. My error margin is probably around 80% but once in a while I get lucky.
