Arbat Street Photography

Here is some quick street photography on Old Arbat and New Arbat in Moscow using a Sony HDR-AS50 action camera on September 11, 2018.

Advantages of using a Sony HDR-AS50 for photography:
1) You don't attract attention at all - it's small, you can hide it in you fist, you can shoot from any position even from the hip as it were - thus ideal for street photography and stealth too.
2) It operates as a point-and-shoot, even more, you don't even half to half-depress the shutter button for focus - it's always in focus - just point and click
3) A nice super wide angle view.
