I have a similar ideology to you- if I can get one great photo (impactful, meaningful, whatever that means) when I go out to shoot, I generally walk away feeling accomplished

Agree one or two shots from the day if your lucky, keeping g a 1000 or whatever from the day just fills up your hard drive. In saying that I generally don't know what I've got till weeks later and will edit a days shots over weeks and delete as I go.

You taking a whole day to do this for us is amazing. Oh, and seeing you with James Popsys was great in your 50mm video from Lisbon. I’ve bought your X-T5 set up guide and can’t wait to use it today. Be well and keep up the great work. Very inspiring.

One of the things I like about your videos is that sometimes I don't like (or wouldn't have taken) some of the photos you took. This then allows me to ask "why don't I like it/why wouldn't I have taken it?", which then becomes a new learning point for me - you never ask these questions if you only watch videos containing photos you like (for me, landscape photography). The rest of the things I like about your videos is that you take some very imaginative pictures, and explain your thought processes, which is great for someone like me just starting to shoot like this. Thank you 😀

My all time favourite lens for street photography is the Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f 1.2. It's fully manual so you have to get used to zone focusing for typical street photography style. But then build quality and image quality is outstanding.

Well-done presentation! This is a useful tutorial on street photography, in a city much denser than my nearby cities in Texas. As for the angle of view, I was using a Canon EF 40mm STM lens as long ago as 2012, and when I shifted to Nikon for general walking-about, soon added a Nikkor 45mm f/2.8P and a Voigtlander 40mm SL II. These 40mm and 45mm lenses relegated my 50mm lenses to reserve status, for quite some time.

I thought your comments about how many "keepers" and "keeper rate" is spot on for a digital camera. It's more important to go out and shoot and get proficient than one's numbers, practice will naturally improve your 'keeper rate' anyway. Also in many genres one doesn't have control of the lighting or the subjects so there is an element of 'hit or miss' on given day. Some days it feels like everything is a keeper and other days it feels like nothing is a keeper.

Alywas fun and interesting to watch you work. Love these videos! I have the Sigma 30 mm for my X-T5, which of course splits the difference, in "full-frame" terms, between a 40 and a 50. At some point, I wonder when focal lengths are close enough that the difference doens't really matter. Probably other characteristics of the lenses become more important. I know it's common for people to have several 50 mm lenses.

Echoing the other comments, the idea to stick with one focal length and commenting on how it changes your process is very educational and enjoyable to watch. I'd love to see an 85mm example if you have one, as it's the next one on my list to get better with.

I have a Nikon z6 II. I bought the 40mm f/2 a year ago for street photography. I love that lens. It's one of Nikon's cheaper lenses and has a plastic mount but it's a very sharp lens. I occasionally use it as a portrait lens. I think I'll either get the 26mm or 28mm next.

The Viltrox 40mm is so good that it's rarely off my camera and only dislodged sometimes by the Viltrox 75 to switch things up. So good that I'm seriously thinking of selling the Fuji 33mm, which I never thought I'd say. Some might be put off by the size but I don't even notice it and its the perfect field of view for me. Wonderful for night shots too. Great video.

Absolutely agree on the 40. Started shooting with a 28mm prime almost four years ago and mostly used the APS-C mode on my Sony, which then equals 42mm. I often find 50 a bit too closes, so 40 really sits right in the middle and works great for street, landscape or architecture. Also the shot at 14:41 is incredible!

I started out with slide film (36 exposure rolls) and my exercises were to take a roll out and see how many 'keepers' I could get out of a roll, as buying and processing a roll was expensive. So, with my new technology, mirrorless camera, I do the same thing, limiting myself to about 40 exposures a trip, unless I find something special.

I'm confused as to why we discuss the camera and lens. Nothing is taken straight out of the camera and posted on KZbin. Everything is graded or manipulated in some software. You could shoot this video in any camera with a cheap lens, stick it through lightroom or Di Vimci and it might look slightly different and but post will still make it look better. Or am I missing something?

Roman, at 7:33, you could've resolved the exposure differential by shooting an Exposure Bracket, then masking out the brighter exposures for the sky, while leaving the nominal exposure for the ground. You'd get no ghosting, and you'd have a beautifully exposed image throughout.

Dude, waaay to complicated for a street shot. You want to catch the moment, be ready to turn your camera every moment. Way easier to just expose for the middle, bring up the darks and bring down the highlights a bit in post than to fizzle around with hdr. Looks pretty shitty most of the times anyways imo.

@s.j.stuart 6 ай бұрын
@@dominikschreiner6062 Respectfully disagree…. It’s as simple as switching the camera into AEB (or BRK/BKT) shooting mode and holding the shutter release. It depends what you’re after, of course, and HDR shots only look shitty when people don’t process them properly (or worse, massively over-process them) if you’re just getting a wider dynamic range into balance, you need only stack the exposures.
