First street shot with new camera

[EchoingWhisper]

Go f/2.8, 1/60s and auto ISO.

f/16, smaller aperture, less light hitting sensor.
f/2.8, larger aperture, more light hitting sensor.

Concerning the white wall, I think you probably did fine with what you had to work with. Sometimes the shot just isn't going to work and you either have to take what you can get, ask the subject to move, find a different angle, or walk away.

You have some great pictures there, however I don’t like the plain white background in the first picture...

What kind of camera do you have there?
