Re: My first attempt at street photography with the Oly 12mm

Did you have fun.? Looks like it.   The 12mm can do the job. Suggest you You need work on composition for future.

Example here:

Would you think it's more interesting if you can get the girl behind the sign into the shot?

On another example, you have some cool pink bicycles, but there is an ugly trash can behind them.

Watch the angles of buildings with the 12mm unless you prefer non vertical. A polarizer might help to get the glare/reflections out of the window shots.

Pictures of the backs of people are usually not worth sharing.

And for your food pictures, maybe you want to fix the white balance.

Still, thanks for showing off your city.
