43 Minutes of PURE Street Photography in NYC on the Sony A7IV

[@CurtisPadley]

Hi guys, thanks for being so patient whilst the pov ready, as you can see it's quite a long video, actually the longest video I've ever done on the channel, so took a lot of editing and caused a lot of Adobe premiere pro crashes 😂💻 It's been great to see and hear so many of you also excited to see what I created in New York! I'm stoked to be finally sharing the first POV! I hope it's been worth the wait and thanks for checking it out! You guys are absolute legends! And without your support this trip wouldn't have been possible! YOU'RE ALL LEGEND! ♥️

[@cys-slayga]

Love the long POV and you talk throught the whole video and explains what you see and how to get more creative images, keep it up!

[@pedromacd]

The firemen at 16.50 is a great shot. You should definitely send them a shot and maybe get a job from the NYFD next time you visit.

[@PhilipParry-d4d]

Loved this - lovely memories of a trip there 4 years ago. Have to say that of all the ‘attractions’ the Brooklyn Bridge was my favourite ❤️

[@simonlong3154]

Excellent video Curtis. Really enjoyed your perspective on NYC and all your great photos. Well done!

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks a ton!🤘

[@luisiturrieta]

Amazing work and amazing channel, glad i just found, keep the good works man, thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers from Buenos Aires.

[@MissHelenJuneReads]

Absolutely not too long at all! I find your videos fascinating, and your on-the-fly thought processes are so helpful as someone who's trying to improve their own photography.

[@billybraithwaite67]

Great POV Curtis, well worth the wait. I’m off to NYC in January..hopefully to shoot the city in the snow 🥶 Can’t wait 👍

[@CurtisPadley]

Dude that's gonna be rad! 🤘

[@occipitalexposure5059]

Fantastic work. I love these POV videos.

[@julesg789]

Amazing POV beautiful photography Curtis glad you went to NYC fantastic photographer

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy legend thanks Jules! 🤘

[@rss1296]

First video of yours I've seen. You're very, very good. Subscribed!

[@bcegerton]

Well, what can I say Curtis, one of, if not the best Street Photography video I’ve seen on KZbin ever. Had to wait until I had time just to chill watching one long video and it was well worth the wait, you looked like you had some serious fun, if knackering. NYC is a Bucket List dream location for me for Street Photography, along with Tokyo but it is only a pipe dream, unless I win some serious money that is. It was great seeing you just let loose and really go for it, you must have put in some serious mileage in and go through some SD cards and batteries, really great candid shots too but I must admit, your shots of the streets and architecture along with the China town cyclists were my favourites, just too much to remember. I think the one that stood out as NYC was the firefighters in front of the engine, just screamed New York.

[@GraveTecMediaGroup]

really enjoyable video mate :D

[@paulclark7664]

What a character ! Some incredible shots here !😊

[@mahdiakbar7731]

I enjoooooooiyed watching this pov👍👏👏👏

[@joeep46]

Hey Curtis thanks for such an incredible video. Your excitement for the city is only matched by your talent. I wanted to know if you had a guide to take you to all the amazing spots to shoot?

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy legend thanks mate! 🤙 I didn't have a guide just did a lot of research before hand to know the locations I wanted to visit! 🤙

[@darthrevan1344]

Great video Curtis!!!!

[@johnw.3636]

I'm not a brand guy, as i love all the brands sincerely. However, as a Nikon shooter, that "rolly" wheel that Canon and Sony have is my biggest desire and a thing of envy. It makes reviewing images soooo much faster, easier and seamless than having to press/toggle to view multiple images at a time or zoom in and out of one.

[@stuartdann4418]

Recently discovered your channel & this POV of NYC. I’m hooked & your style is infectious. I’ve recently returned from NYC myself & I wish I had a) a Sony; b) your talent and c) just a fraction of your enthusiasm! Congratulations Sir, you are terrific 👍

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy dude really appreciate it! Absolute legend! 🤙

[@juliea8989]

Love this video Curtis you are my favorite photographer. Beautiful stunning photography as always. So happy you went to NYC 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@damienfenton3880]

I've just discovered your channel so I'm a little late to this video, but a big well done for sending the couple the photos of their proposal. That is very decent of you.

Curtis, next time u visit NY , I need to tell you that there is another higher level without Perspex on the Rockefeller Sky Scraper you might want to try. Nice video, from one Brit to another.

[@keessonnema]

This guy's energy is making me nervous, but great shots and I love street photography videos!

[@CurtisPadley]

Why nervous? 😂😂

[@keessonnema]

@@CurtisPadley The constant talking lol. I guess I'm used to the more calm and relaxing videos from Pierre T, Northborders, 7th Era, etc. It's something to get used to I think!

[@andrewscott7006]

I've booked the day off to watch this ! Love it

[@CurtisPadley]

The videos not that long is it? Are you watching at 0.25speed or something 😂😂 Thanks dude, hope the video was worth the day off! 🤙⚡

[@ethan-sheffield]

I snagged the preset pack. Great deal and they’re 🔥

[@TheCrashcore]

I'm always struggling with what aperture and shutter speed to go for a shot is it really just experience that I'm lacking or is there a trick to get used to it faster?

[@juandaferrando9061]

Great one Curtis,45 mins of pure New York city vibes. Specially loved the pics from Times Square but where is the flag? 😜 Just kidding, amazing job! 👏🏼

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy thanks dude! 🤙

[@timon_gaal]

Amazing as always !!!

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! 🤙

[@paulm8157]

Stellar post, Curtis! Would have been even better, IMO, as multi-part over several posts. Impressive mix of standard NYC comps and your own style of street photography. Smoking lady (8min), shadow shot on bridge, China Town Lee Insurance, and Central Park reflections my fav. See you encountered the Time Square Characters like Batman, Transformer, and Naked Cowboy - nice. Tough to get a passable image when shooting through heavy plastic for night photos; did they have camera portals? That “we just got engaged” couple -- an old scam; several pairs and returning couples every day😂.(Just kidding.) Did your planned meet-ups w/NYC based subscribers/followers work out as you expected and anticipated in pre-trip vid? No mention in this one. Hope you took a snapshot of the pancake😊. Could I interest you in a budget-friendly waffle?😊 Cheers!

[@easywhitechocolate]

Hey Curtis, I loved this video and your edits so much that I purchased the preset pack. However I'm having issues transferring them to Lightroom on my phone. Are they not compatible with the mobile version? 😢

[@tairaehersemann549]

Great video, what a trip, I hope you had something to eat after all that walking 😅

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks! Had myself a lot of New York Pizza! 🍕😍

[@drdoofrp9142]

Hi Curtis, im currently debating with myself which camera I should go for. The two that I'm picking between are the Sony a6400 or the Sony a7ii. Which camera would you recommend me to buy?

[@andrewcroxall1416]

You are so good

[@RavOCW]

56$ for pancakes reminded me of the most expensive meal that I've eaten - grilled sausage, a slice of bread and pickled cucumber for like 15$. That was in polish Tatra Mountains, I must have admitt that views were beautiful (unlike the price).

[@lubomirbloudek4050]

Hi Curtis! Are your mobile phone presets in DNG format? Thank you

[@CestLaG]

Hahaha, you're hilarious Curtis. Got here from Kyle's video. Love your POV, I'm a budding photography enthusiast from the Philippines. Hope to learn more from you.

[@alaminserifsarkar02]

Which lens are you using

[@ricardolee2397]

ooooooooooooooh~~~~~POV coming back！？！！！

[@tomgriff9]

Apologies if I missed it, but does he mention which lenses he’s using? I know he mentioned the 70-200mm at the start but missed whatever else he said. I’d be grateful if someone could let me know :) Cheers

[@IonCristianEmilian]

Congratulations. It was a great pov and the way you comment on what you do. Bravo. I also follow you on Instagram.🙏

Were you using auto ISO or just that fast with the dials ?

[@CurtisPadley]

Fast on the dials! 🤙

[@ShadraqsVids16]

22:00 bro got a little too excited 😂

[@ice1337chris]

Question are you no longer a fan of the 16-35 mm ? Saw it wasn’t listed on your gear list anymore . I am about to purchase a a7iv and have enough for to lenses was thinking of doing Sony 16-35 gm and sigma 24/70 would that set me up for both hybrid photo and video?

[@ice1337chris]

What is your recommendation ? Totally love your nyc series wish I was around would have loved to learn from you and shoot ur bts footage

[@CurtisPadley]

Still big fan of that lens, might have forgotten to list it. I use it a lot of the time and would be a great lens with the sony A7iv! 🙏

[@ice1337chris]

Got ya do you think those two are the way to go? Or should I do one and a different prime ? Will be using your purchase links to pay back the great insight .

[@BrunooCataldi]

which lens?

[@that_johnny_guy]

After the new firmware 1.10, has the camera overheated on you?

[@CurtisPadley]

I actually haven't updated the firmware yet, didn't know there was an update. On my current version though, I am not facing any overheating issues 👍

do you use screen protector?

[@CurtisPadley]

No never use then, hope that helps! 🤙

What lenses did you use mostly?
