You made my day.... 🥰🥰🥰

hi i love this video.Could you let me know your camera setting on Nikon J1? Please

❤

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

Thank you for the explanation. Do you think that zone focusing can also be used on the X100VI? Is there no issue that the focus ring on the lens moves during for example walking? I think that the focus ring on the old film cameras or the Leica are more stiff.

Great photo examples! Were the street scene videos recorded on this camera as well?

It's subjective and may not have been intensional, but those blurry shots are amazing 😉

#7 Be Curious. Make sure to explore around that corner; see what's at the end of that alley. You will often be surprised at what you find.

Excellent, je vais essayer sur mon Fuji xpro3. Merci beaucoup

Mine would be, "today is all there is." Don't think you'll take the shot tomorrow: take it now.

Enjoyed the ‘Waiting for Godot’ joke. :)

The AI bots were talking to me there for a minute! :) Really love your perspective. Matt's advice is really solid. "More time at fewer locations" probably sums up what someone would observe if they watched me shoot. I'm usually nowhere more than an hour, and within that hour, maybe ten or more settings.

I wish I could be a street photographer but I live in an area where there are very few crowds.

Started doing street photography seriously ( even started a project in my local town !) a year ago , and my confidence has grown in leap and bounds , still got away to go, but Im keeping at ( regardless of what the wife feels about it, lol)

Another quote from Matt Stuart really resonated with me and has totally changed the way I approach street photography. "Don’t be reluctant to press the button, even if the picture is not quite there" reminded me to trust my instincts and stop overthinking every shot. The idea of saying "yes" and staying "awake" to the moment has helped me stay more present and aware of my surroundings. Since adopting this mindset, I’ve been able to capture more authentic, fleeting moments that I would have otherwise missed by hesitating. It’s made my photography feel more alive and productive, and honestly, I think it’s helped me grow creatively too, not matter if i am shooting here in Germany or somewhere else in the world. Sometimes the magic happens when you stop worrying about perfection and just press that button. Thanks, Matt Stuart, for this little but powerful reminder! and you, Oliver, for this video!😊😊

Thanks you and Matt to motivate and overcome our fears!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video, it really means a lot to me... Here are other quotes by famous photographers which are a great help to improve your Street Photography: Henri Cartier-Bresson "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." Bruce Gilden "If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it’s a street photograph." Joel Meyerowitz "Street photography is a kind of serendipity-you find it without looking." Garry Winogrand "Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed." Elliott Erwitt "Photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place." Saul Leiter "Photography teaches you to see. To see things you never noticed before." Vivian Maier "We have to make room for other people; it’s a wheel-you get on, you have to get off. I think five minutes is enough." Alex Webb "The most interesting place to be is on the edge." Sebastião Salgado "A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it." André Kertész "I am an amateur and I intend to stay that way for the rest of my life to retain the freedom of not having to conform." Mary Ellen Mark "It’s not just about capturing a moment, but telling a story." Richard Kalvar "Street photography is a confrontation with reality-it’s both intimacy and public observation." Robert Frank "There is one thing the photograph must contain-the humanity of the moment." Don McCullin "Emotion or feeling is really the only thing about pictures I find interesting. Beyond that, it is just a trick." Dorothea Lange "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera." Trent Parke "The best pictures are unplanned, unposed, and in between the moments." Bill Cunningham "The best fashion show is definitely on the street. Always has been. Always will be." Fred Herzog "You find beauty in the banal details of everyday life. That’s where the stories are." Annie Leibovitz "One doesn’t stop seeing. One doesn’t stop framing. It doesn’t turn off and turn on. It’s on all the time." Fan Ho "The true appeal of street photography is the randomness, spontaneity, and unpredictability wrapped in the mundane." What is your favorite quote?

I hear you’re making a new film…Wrong and Wronger.

Been looking at the Laowa 10mm f2.8 and it comes in either Af or MF options. May go with the MF after seeing this 😊

The AF on this camera just isn’t great. Slow, shadows stuff great, anything faster than a snail, no chance.

I own some decent fuji autofocus-lenses and but the voigtländer 27mm f2 pancake is my favourite on my X-T5 right now. Today I made the order of this voigtländer lens as well because they produce gorgeous lenses. I have no doubt that it is as good as my 27mmf2 and it has the same filter size for the mist filter and all the others I use on the 27mm voigtländer and the fujinon xf 23mm f2 which is another plus so I can use the same filters.

Apart form the focusing motion, the aperture quickly stopping down and opening again as the shutter goes off can also be quite noticeable, especially on bright lenses!

Sure, let’s wear a trench coat when it’s blazing hot out just to hide a camera. That looks totally normal.

its funny cause i feel like the fancier i dress the less people notice me considering everyone in the city dresses funny

Thank you. I needed to hear what you had to say. Subscribed

Als Ausländer in Asien, 1,93m, 110kg bin ich nienals unsichtbar. Ich halte einfach drauf nach sem motto: lieber entschuldigen als um Erlaubnis zu fragen. Manchmal ergibt sich im Anschluss noch ein kleines Gespräch oder wenn ich quasi schon angeschaut werde frage ich, ob ich ein Foto machen darf. Die meisten haben damit kein Problem und freue sich mit mirbzu reden.

No wonder my street photography sucks. I've been literally doing the complete opposite of everything you just said 😔

i have been taking street shots for over 10 years and mainly use a mamiya7ii. I even used a hasselblad and pentax 67. What have i learned? You are never invisible. No matter what you wear or do. You can spend too much time "being invisible" and not take any decent shots. Lesson? Be more involved in SEEING and WATCHING. Observe and react. And spend less time worrying about "being invisible" Use zone focusing and learn exposure on any given day or moment.

I wear clothing that helps me blend in with the surrounding buildings. I use a small camera, but not a tiny one. I will spend time looking at my phone before taking a picture. Last but not least, I don’t wear a backpack.

02:20 I can confirm that the size and operation of the camera more or less encourages me to go out and take photos. I wish Fuji would make an X100VI variant with 28 mm.

Silly

I love the humour in your videos, and of course the content itself too. Thank you!

It doesnt always help when like me you have a blue beard, but sometimes it helps when they come up and talk to you ! ( no Im not shaving it off, my chin looks worse lol)

When I’m circulating in an area waiting to catch a subject I frequently check my wrist watch then look around as though I’m searching for someone I’m intending to meet. Add a frustrated look as though they are late and that usually puts people at ease.

Good tips, but I think it all depends on your goals and the specific situation that can vary scene to scene. So your method needs to be adapted in real time to your goals. For example, I prefer getting up close and personal, even doing street portraits. This skill set is radically different than being an invisible creep lurking in the shadows. When I’ve engaged people personally, the camera size really hasn’t mattered at all from a GR3 to a Canon with a 24-70. And I can get the same non-personal shots with any camera as long as I’m not walking by them and shoving a camera in their face or taking pictures of their kids. I’m not saying never be discreet, just think there is too much unnecessary paranoia being spread across KZbin with how to do street.

Oh - wie ich schmunzeln musste, Oliver , und spätestens bei dem roten Outfit war der Übergang vom Schmunzeln ins herzliche Lachen fließend. Ich mochte von Anfang an deine Art, 'Wissen aus Erfahrung' mit dieser Prise Humor zu vermitteln. Deine Tipps sind mir, u.a. auch aus diesem Grund, stets willkommen. Am Ende dieses Videos kam mir dann der Gedanke, dass ein unauffälliges Verhalten recht schnell auch mal zu einem äuußerst auffällig unauffälligen Verhalten geraten kann, sollte man dabei beobachtet werden. Vor allem, wenn man sich krampfhaft darauf konzentriert und sich in all das Mittel- und Unmittelbare, das man am Körper mit sich herumträgt, verheddert ;-). Da können schon mal für einen selbst un-, für ein evtl. Gegenüber jedoch recht auffällige filmreife Slapsticks zustande kommen ;-). Liebe Grüße - Monika

Very good tipps! Its also about body language and outside perception.

My favourite methods for street are the no finder (not even the tilt screen, as I find peple notice it as well), and the Garry Winogrand thing, looking like figuring out something with camera, often checking the focus ring (use mf lenses the most) back and forth turning the camera at me in between the shots

How to be invisible while obviously taking photographs: bring a "model" with you. On the surface, it looks like hou are shooting the model but you are really photographing unsuspecting subjects. It also catches attention and subjects will look right at you as you photograph them. More often than not, people will approach and become willing subjects for street portraits. Works like a charm.

I love and have used MANY of these techniques, but I hadn't done that lately, so I like it. I'll add one more. Have you ever seen how Garry Winogrand did it? He looked like he was having trouble with his camera and fumbling with it, and all jiggly in his hands without even looking through the viewfinder, snapping away. That's one I use sometimes. Just looking incapable. ;)

My photography has always been all over the place for almost 20 years I just don’t care if I’m invisible or not when my revolving door of photography gets a itch for street photography for a few months.

Invisible thumb. Great trick

Matt Stuart, a famous street photographer, makes no attempt to be invisible: he obviously takes a shot, but when he does he then looks at the top plate of the camera with a baffled expression on his face, shakes his head, and just keeps walking.

Thank you so much for watching my videos, it really means a lot to me.

This approach to vintage digital equipment is really cool. In this video you indirectly mentioned several reasons why some photographers have chosen to experiment with shooting with old digicams nowadays. I am one of those who loves shooting with compact cameras from the 2000s.

Good job

Thanks for this! Had my gx85 for two years and as of recent I’ve been getting out much of often with it and I’ve been having fun. It’s really been about the process in learning what style I like so far.

Oliver. I love your perspective on all things photography. Your German sensibility and pragmatism is just what this scene needs. And I couldn’t agree more with regard to find joy with your gear. This is very important from my experience. I’ve settled on an X-E3, and I hope this will keep me happy for another 10 years. Sending smiles from Sydney. 🇦🇺
