| f/8, 1/40s, ISO 200 |
Challenges with shoot
- Making interesting compositions
- Cold weather made it difficult to stay in one place, waiting for the moving elements to fit my compositions
- I took many photos of the parade itself, but I did not find many intriguing decisive moments in my frames during my editing

| f/8, 1/250s, ISO 100 |
Challenges with shoot:
- waiting for the right moment
- the pigeons would not move when pedestrians walked by, it took the dog to get them to fly away.
- pigeons kept moving towards me as they thought I had food for them

Challenges with the shoot
- Strangers giving odd looks when I took pictures
- After choosing my composition, making sure people not aware that I was taking a photo
What I learnt from these shoots/this assignment:
- carrying my smaller mirrorless camera allowed me to get better shots (more discrete than my dSLR)
- capturing many shots blindly (from the hip) was very useful
- it takes a lot of patience to capture the moment I visualised
- I had to forget about the many missed moments and move forward and constantly try new compositions
What I liked about street photography:
- pleasant surprises and interesting images that I did not pre-visualise just from shooting repeatedly and from the hip
- it constantly challenged me: I had to think of new creative ways in each situation to try to stay unnoticed, while still achieving my composition
What I did not enjoy about street photography:
- Confrontations from strangers
- Long editing (selecting best images) process
