2:58 Indestructible, always believing. Gold!

Thanks for sharing. Love it!

I love the artist thoughts on these. Makes the video so dynamically interesting

Enjoyed hearing your discussions and the expose of your thoughts and perspectives on the photos, cheers.

Interesting insights Roger, really liked the colour grade done on “observe”

Thanks!

Great collection of images Mr Brooks, love your work ❤

Love those shots mate. Spandau Ballet was my favourite.

Great pics mate, I enjoyed you explanations. But you need to get out on the the road and get that pic mate 😂🤣

Yep, love this format. Thank you for sharing your insights.

I say get into the traffic.

Beautiful. And a nice little challenge to give yourself. As another mate of mine who is a photographer says, shoot like it’s film. Make it count. He was a very late adopter to digital. And now Pentax released a film camera. 😂 Good to see you’re always looking at improving yourself. I always love all your photography work. You have something there.❤

That was a great video. It focuses on the process rather than the results. And reminding yourself to purpose of the day’s activity in itself provides the high end results. I really enjoyed this. Well done.

I found myself pausing at 4:31 and reading all the posters on that wall. Great background for street shots.

I see great depth in these images. The knocked over e-bike on the footpath is very symbolic of the apathy in this dystopian modern society. Such a great new tool, all colourful and new looking just completely unappreciated. A society of so much excess, but I bet the guitarist busker hardly made enough to buy dinner. Some things have no value at all but we will spend so much on cosmetics and aesthetics….and coffee. Great shots mate.

I weely liked the wheelie shot.

I like obser-B-ing

Still, some great captures, Roger. Enjoyed it.

I love that you challenge and question every aspect of your work! This is why your images are always evolving ❤

Interesting challenge Roger 😎🤔

I use Voigtlander lenses….I tend to set to infinity and focus on further away things. It’s actually a lot of fun…hard work, but fun. I use the focus peaking at times to help. It’s harder with moving things or objects closer to the camera. Give it a try….

If I hadn't bought XH2 and waited for XT5, knowing what I know now about what I tend to shoot would have definitely bought XT50 as my secondary camera for all the things you said. I now use XH2, X100VI, and occasionally XPro2 or XT30 for times I want to go lightest with f/2 primes. Bought the X100VI for fun as my first Fujifilm is the X100S. Still not a fan with the X100VI back controls (i.e., lack of controls including 4 button d-pad) that I struggled with on the XT30. In the end I went XT5 because the XT30 was only $300 USD cheaper while missing WR, extra function buttons/d-pad, better EVF (sucks when eyes start to get old). I also prefer tilt screen like on XT5 over fold out found on XH2. Bought XT5. Now finding I use the XT5 as my main camera and only use the XH2 when I need two cameras or plan on shooting mostly with my bigger/heavier lenses. On travel, I like having both a ultra wide and standard zoom on two bodies to quickly grab snapshots as I run around. Carrying XH2 and XT5 around my neck is OK; bigger problem getting both to fit well in my camera bag. Great situation to have a Sigma 10-18/2.8 or wide prime on the XT50 with wrist strap, attached to the side of my bag with a Peak Design capture clip and my main camera around my neck. Ah, well. Nothining to do but go out and shoot with what I got and do my best until old age finally forces me to go even lighter and smaller.

Good advice, especially for us noob’s lol. Love the shots and vibrant colors/clarity.

Great video, liked the images at the end. I found using manual focus improved my photography a lot. Perhaps it is about being more intensely involved in the taking of each image. I did miss focus quite a lot in the beginning, however. I often still do...

Great vid mate. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts when out there taking shots.

Looks like you nailed the focus on these shots. Well explained.

I tried to focus on the video.

I have super low expectations so I should be golden.

Your images are incredible mate. I really love them

That pack down at Opera House was from Mr Beast's visit. 😊

Thanks Roger, I guess us (not photographers) expect that every shot is a winner. Someone with skills in this area hitting about 50% gives us some hope 😂🤣

Some of it was over my head, but all of it was interesting, and fascinating seeing your photography results. The benefits of manual focus are quite certain, these have a great quality which is very enjoyable. Nice work mate, hope you are well.

Hey bud nice stuff! Whats the recipe you're using?

Love the candid shots, Roger. You are the master!

Funky! In a good way!

I am slowly learning more about cameras. Very slowly. I’m still with my second-hand Nikon and at some point will buy a new modern unit.

Each photo is great - nicely done mate.

Love those shots Rog. Capturing candids of people is incredible

It never ceases to amaze me to see some people with their noses in their phones. In any city today, it will be challenging to capture people without a phone somewhere in the shot. 😁👍👍

My favourite image was 0:31 .

Some very unique angles and perspectives. Great use of reflections and backlight. You talk about depth... Yep... loads of depth. I was hoping to see pink jumper guy in front of the pink chairs. Did that shot work out.

Awesome 🤩👏🏻👏🏻

Love the image at 0:32

If you're ok with manual focus the Voigtlander 27mm Ultron f2 lens is perfect on the XT5. Smaller than any other pancake lens with terrific image quality. They are a bit expensive but worth it imho.

I love my xt5, it is a perfect travel kit when paired with the 16-80 zoom. Though that lens is only f4 you have in body IS and OIS so you can shoot with slow shutter speeds. But, at 77 of age, I do find it heavy so I also have the xt30ii which I use for street work. I pair it with the 23 f2 and sometimes the 27 pancake and that fits in a jacket pocket. It's a lovely little camera and I find I gravitate towards that instead of the xt5, unless it is raining!

Get them all😂. I also have the 100-VI on pre-order. Maybe we will get it by Christmas. About 2 years ago, I sold my Canon gear and bought an X-T5 and several lenses for my main kit. I also recently purchased the X-S20 mainly for a separate video camera and backup to the X-T5 for photography. I also use it for some travel where I want a smaller camera. It’s a great camera as well. Get them all I say. Hope I like the 100-VI.

Has definitely changed since the 90's.

Wow the cross has changed so much. I've made some calls at that phone booth location over the years. And no more Animal...I always enjoyed chatting to him

Holy shßt, this is amazing! You are a bit of a master of night/low light R 🫡

Awesome vision mate 🤩
