That's how I've been shooting 95% of my street photos. f/8 with the focus set to 3m. That should give me an acceptable focus for anything from 1.6 - 30 meters (using a Fuji X100V ie: APS sensor). As long as you don't view the photos at 100%, they look sharp enough but if you pixel peep, then you'll soon notice that DOF calculations are based on "sharp enough" rather than "absolutely sharp." I'm fine with that.People by the UK seaside. All shots pre-focused/ snap focused. Regardless of the absolute accuracy and quality of focusing and composition, images shot using that technique with a wide enough lens do tend to exactly capture what is happening before you that very second regardless of whether you happen to be close up or further away from the subject(s).

I came across this old, 2004 photo while backing up some local photos to my Smugmug account. Back then I would only occasionally dabble in street photography when I had to drive my Mom into Chinatown to do some shopping. This was shot with a Minolta Dimage A1, my first "serious" digital camera. 5mp and a very shallow dynamic range.
What do you mean with "He photobombed me"? :confused-95:View attachment 270692
He photobombed me - but I like the resulting shot better than the intended one.

The guy walked into the frame - if this isn't intended by the photograher, it's called a "photobomb".What do you mean with "He photobombed me"? :confused-95:
In that case I'm being photobombed all the time when doing street photography . Never saw or heard the word before.The guy walked into the frame - if this isn't intended by the photograher, it's called a "photobomb".
