Escape the Blur: Zone Focus Explained

Have you ever wondered how legendary street photographers captured amazing shots using cameras that, by today's standards, seem outdated? Well, besides their undeniable talent, the secret lies in a technique called zone focusing.

Zone focusing is a technique, often used in street photography that lets you concentrate on timing (the decisive moment as Bresson called it) and composition while not worrying about your subject being in focus. It is faster than the fastest auto-focus because it's already focused before it even gets to your eye. Don't be afraid of it. It's easy. What's this video and you'll be zone focusing like a pro in no time. Leica, Pentax, Minolta, Canon or even Nikon, the camera doesn't matter. It does require manual focus though.

If you have any questions then leave them in the comments and I will do my best to get to them. Happy shooting.
