Default Candid Street Photography Comments

I'm a little surprised the main article didn't address Shutter Priority. To freeze outdoor shots, I'm usually set at 1/250th and an appropriate ISO for the day.

Small camera bag? How about NO camera bag?

28mm works well if you're unafraid to get up close. Street Photography at 400mm isn't really street photography! A 14mm is one of my favorites.

The wider angle lenses allow you to include context in the photograph. Where is this being taken? What are the circumstances that may contribute to the expressions on faces or highlight the contrast between the individual and the environment they're in?

Almost exclusively in Landscape orientation.

Move in fast, snap and SMILE. The less self-conscious you are, the more relaxed they will be. Try to look like you were supposed to be there. Don't CHIMP after taking the shot -- i.e. don't instantly look to see the shot on your camera's LCD screen!

Just my thoughts...
