Pro’s Killer Kit #01 50mm prime lens

One way to ensure you don’t stick out like a sore thumb, and so increase your chances of getting genuinely candid shots, is to make sure you look less like a bazooka-wielding paparazzo and more like a tourist taking snaps. Attaching a long lens might seem tempting, as it will enable you to keep your distance, but it will also make it very obvious what you’re pointing at! With a small 50mm prime, you can simply shoot in the general direction of a potential subject, without them being any the wiser.
