Wow, interesting photo. I think another shot that can be taken is to stand directly below the bridge clans take one? Would it be possible?

oh yeah i could stand directly under it...sadly i did not think of that....next time i go somewhere i bring you with me! then you can advice me on good shots
(i actually really suck at finding good shots...i am a bad hobby photographer lol)

I am good at advising people on composition and then I fuck it up when I am the one taking the photo.

lol i get that, when i am out with a friend i notice something, take 5 min to take a couple of shots and they just pull out their damn iphone, make one snapshot and it looks better than mine. pissing me off xD

It's amazing how far smart phones have come. While the photo might look cool in their iPhones but you have a lot more flexibility in your hands. Use it well.
I am curious, what prompted you to buy a mirrorless camera? People usually go for DSLRs.

yeah the photos of iphones look great...on the small screen...when i receive the data and look at it on my 30" TV (i use as monitor) the bad quality becomes painfully obvious.
oh damn i should have read this comment first. answered the question on the mirrorless in another comment of yours
indeed you were right in your past comment though, a lighter, smaller camera is indeed also helpful in street photography.
so what do you wanna do? buy proper lenses for your Nikon to do astrophotography and such and a mirrorless for street photography?

That is what I found to my chagrin when I looked at the photos taken with my phone on my laptop. They looked grainy.
I will just buy the lenses. It is going to be expensive but still cheaper than buying a new camera. My dream is to get my hands on a Leica.
In Germany, are people okay with being photographed by strangers? I am asking from a street photographer's perspective.

hmmm I think street photography is very difficult no matter where you go. some people might be ok with it but most wont like it and some will even get angry at you. in every country i think. especially in europe and north america people easily get angry at such things.

I heard the laws in Canada are a lot more lax. Usually people do not mind. I avoid taking photos of women if I can though.

the laws are the same pretty much everywhere (except japan because its an especially perverted country in need of stricter laws...thats not my opinion thats actually fact). anybody is able to take photos anywhere of people ON THE STREETS in buildings you are a guest and it depends on the owner. especially in hotels, restaurants etc its unwise to shoot since the owner can argue that you damage the business by making others uncomfortable (sound argument) so yeah on the streets its a free for all with ONE exception !!!
if there are more than a few people in the shot and there is no clear focus on one particular subject, nobody in the photo could ever charge you and they could not even ask for compensation when you make money off of the shot. but when you clearly have a specific subject, you should legally ask for agreement in form of a model release form (kind of an agreement contract)

In Canada, the laws are a little lax I think. Then again, I agree with all that you have said. I have seen many street photography photos which have people in them. I will try to be discreet though. I will never try and earn anything from my street photography ventures anyways. I am aware of model release forms. I am interested in doing portraits so I have to be aware of these things.
