I'm not ready for this yet, I have never recorded video on my camera, only my phone and only occasionally. I am curious, as with the new year, I'm in the mood for trying at least 1 new thing, what video editing software do you use? "If you are consuming more than you are producing" really resonated with me, it will be a long time before I forget that phrase, thank you.

Subscribed, love your content mix, found you as I was researching the Zf to use with some vintage glass I have but never used. My assignment will be to use all 7 lenses which will be fun as I generally only stay between 35-50. I wouldn't know what to do with an 18 or a 135mm lens :) This way I will learn something and maybe discover new FL to enjoy. Manual focus will also be new to me, I have only used AF lenses before. Might as well jump into the deep end first! I think Im finally convinced enough to buy the ZF now though.

i love your videos man

I don't understand why people get confused with the pasm dial lol its not hard to figure out lol

Oh yeah

GREAT VIDEO!!! Looking fwd to more!

5. 11. 16 Just started pushing myself todo 1x1 bnw for at least a yr Minimum

Great video, Rui is an outstanding photographer, I'm in his FB group B&W Humanist & Street Photography Corner.

Thank you for your study. Rui Palha is an amazing Portuguese photographer

Thanks for this.. Learnt a lot from his work. One of my favorites. 😍🤗🤩🥰❤️😇🧿🧿

Great study of a fabulous photographer! Thank you

Great video! My favourite is number 11. The contrast of the lines against the sky plus the full moon in the distance... just beautiful

Great photographer! But his name is typed wrong- not PaHla, but PalHa.

He is a great photographer!!

Rui Palha is my fave photographer since 2005. 🖤🤍

Thank you so much for this video Martin I am very grateful. You made a great photographic study indeed and spent a lot of time doing that. Thanks a lot

Thank you for the video. Rui is a very special photographer, and a good friend of mine.He is a kind heart and a quiet person.

I'm portuguese and also a photographer (mostly an editor nowadays) and I personnaly met Rui in a couple occasions. I don't mean any disrespect but there are things that, for me, lower the "value" of his work in the Street Photography category. Mainly two things: his inumerous copies of other peoples work and composition ideas; and the fact that he uses acquintances (namely his wife) to achieve his results. I would not call street photography when you ask your wife to pose and have all the time in the world to plan your exposure and settings and shot. Its her on the photo in the stairs with the doves in Oporto market - a copy from an original by Cartier-Bresson; and also from a jump over a puddle of water in the Elevador de Santa Justa (Lisbon). There are several shots where his planning involve previous talking with the subjects. In by humble opinion, that diminuishes the credit of a spontaneous street photography shoot. Nice video!! Cheers.

Thanks for presenting us, Rui Palha, and for your comments. Enjoyed a lot this video

Another amazing study. Thank you so much for introducing me to an amazing photographer from my country that I’m ashamed I wasn’t aware of, we even have the same name. This one really opened my mind about how creative you can be with your photos. I’ll definitely going to study this gentleman work further

This is a nice work right here, like having a conversation and studying at the same time

I loved watching this video. I also really admire the work of photographer Rui Palha, he is an excellent photographer.

Thank you for the morning motivation

Slight correction, Rui Palha, not Pahla.

Amazing 🎉

I just ran across your channel. I was not familiar with this photographer. He is very talented. I live in Durham, by the way.

24:12 agree 100%.... A slam dunk show stopper photo.. good lord is that good.

I'm dissapointed. WIth 35min I wondered before watching how often you stand up to see how long you got left, but you moved your camera! 😭😁

20:09 felt that exact same way, TFS!

Great video, thank you for sharing.

Thank you for introducing me to Rui, love the narration of your perspective of his photos

Great man. Self work=Self worth. I never like to judge anybody else's work, I think everything you posted here is great, you should put together a tabletop book, hardcover, and sell it. There's just not enough art out in the universe. Thanks for sharing, appreciate the genuine nature of this video.

Self assignments are what elevated me forreal. It’s really a key to level up everything in your craft

Number 32!!!

i love #15 !

Love this. Absolutely agree. Subbed.

YOU'RE RIGHT

Love your videos. They're thoughtful, calming, and motivating :)

I look forward to your videos every time. Love shot 29. Most of them are dope but I like the composition in that one alot. I hope you make a video on framing and lighting some time soon. I'm learning to take photos and your stuff is really inspiring!

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY PROJECT FOR GOING ON 2 YEARS FAITHFULLY! IT MIGHT BE A LIFE LONG PROJECT TO BE HONEST... FOR I DON'T HAVE A DEADLINE IN MIND!!! I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO SHARE ANY OF IT ON INSTAGRAM OR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA...SO I MIGHT PUT IT OUT IN FORM OF A ZINE OR BOOK MOST LIKELY! IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS, TO WORK ON A SELF PROJECT...BECAUSE IN DOING SO, YOU LEARN ALLOT ABOUT YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS! SO MANY PEOPLE ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THEMSELVES. PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECTS HEALS THE SOUL AND YOU'LL BE CLOSER TO BEING ONE WITH YOURSELF!!!! CROM DIGGAH -THE BLACKMAN ARMED WITH A CAMERA🤘🏾🤘🏾

Love the images. A court is so simple, yet you've found so many beautiful angles. There are no people, so it strikes the feeling of ... being alone? Quite different to your street work. I think you've helped me identify my problem at the moment - I haven't had a purpose in my photography, a direction, to head for.

Please level out your video's audio t

Beautiful people photographs

*Me heard the intro and quickly paused Go to the kitchen, make myself a hot chocolate. Go to the sofa with blanket. Press play. Happy place.*

Just stumbled here by coincidence and man, I really like your approach on the street. Open about what you're doing and not treating people as mere "subjects" but as human beings. That's way more important to me than what kind of camera you use. And really nice pics as they show real life. Thanks a lot!

Seeeeee you've got me THINKING! I've been feeling so jaded by Instagram but wasn't sure what the next step was

Thank you so much for sharing this! Perfect thing to watch after a long day

I don’t usually leave comments, but after watching this video, I just had to say something. Your street photography is amazing-way better than what I’ve seen on some big camera review channels. You’ve got a real advantage here; your videos feel natural and super enjoyable to watch.A lot of what you said about the Nikon Zf really resonated with me. I’ve owned plenty of cameras, but this one is different. From the moment I picked it up, I knew I’d never sell it. I think it’s underrated. I’ve been using it with old and manual lenses, and the joy it brings to photography is something most cameras can’t match.I still shoot film sometimes, but after developing and scanning my own color negatives, I started questioning why I even bother. Since I got the Zf, I’ve been shooting film less and less. This camera is just that good.

Not yet finished the episode but thank you for the content. It is very relaxing, please keep doing your good work.
