50mm 1.8 POV chilled street photography - Sony A7iii

[@careywest]

Hey man just so you know, if you set the a7III up with back-button focusing, you can program the AEL button to do an impromptu manual focus. Its insanely useful when you just need MF for one shot, cuz you can just hold that button down, manually focus, take the shot, and when you release the AEL button it'll be back in AF where you left it. Great video as always, my friend.

[@paiman_]

Great tip, thanks mate.

[@MAAC3GEEh]

Super good tip

How do I do this for Canon?

[@bemoredomorehavemore]

The advice about being nervous shooting in public, that is the part about street photography that I am yet to get a handle on. I won't let that stop me though. Just need a little more confidence with strangers. Well done. Great video even in 2024!

[@Tygootten]

The vibe am getting with your video's are so good! Keep up the good work 🙏

[@SteveM109r]

London has changed so much in the 10 years since I moved away. Another great vid Sam.

[@hassaanhamid7110]

Only a couple of secs through, already loving the vibe 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Opticalwander]

Thank you 🙏

[@bamsemh1]

For you and everyone's safety, don't follow his careless vibe! I will run down idiots.

[@LauraSpinaLS]

I love this POV, it’s better than Netflix 🔥🔥

[@Opticalwander]

Ohh thank you Laura 🙏

[@jipperik]

A title like that gets me every time. Can't wait to watch the video

[@mediocricity]

Chance upon your video as I need some ideas on street photography. I’ve been using the 50mm for just portrait shot. And here, you’re bringing in a different way! So cool!

[@ThisMomentInd]

Hey man, I would love to see your process for culling your photos from full street shoot to your process going through and organizing photos!! Love your channel keep it up man!!

[@thesharkfin9607]

This!

[@thebeardedgeordiephotography]

Love it Sam... I always think "harsh light, black n white"

[@Menosfilms]

Cheers from another A7iii street shooter!

[@embracemusic21]

Love your videos, man! Cheers from Budapest!

[@haleemamuhammad7957]

This gives me motivation to start doing POV coz it’s seems fun 😆

[@SP-yw7yj]

Love this so much!! I don't even know how these different ideas come to your head lmao

[@hdgamer9153]

Hi l love what you are doing keep doing what you're doing , Please upload a video about camera settings (a7iii)

[@C.Priesty]

Great video, thank you for the inspiration. Just starting my journey with an A7iii and 50mm 1.8. I was worried i purchased the wrong glass as the other option was the kit lense. But this has given me the confidence to get out and take photos. More amazingly is some of the silly comments you get wasting your time! Lol

I LOVE IT POV - Great photos

[@manny-ox9je]

Best video yet, love the tones and colour.

[@qwe--]

I'm watching from Japan! I've been watching your videos for a while now. thank you so much for the great videos and pictures!

[@alanhall5648]

Cracking shots 🔥🔥🇬🇧

[@highbyoode]

I’m loving this POV

[@studiomonty]

Good shots, which focus mode and light metering mode were you on?

[@jeanettespiers4711]

Loved this ; Covent Garden so quiet

[@kefaren.]

I really love this content, man. Keep it up!

[@Mackenzieknell]

Another great POV mate keep smashing it dude

[@Lombwolf]

Another amazing video!!!!!🔥🔥

[@OutlawPhotography]

I'm always inspired by how much content you can make in a single walk. How many hours would you say you spend walking and shooting to get this many great shots? I always feel like I'm out for hours, only to pull 7-10 minutes(ish) of content. could just be bad planning on my part.

[@paulhead8718]

Very inspiring as always.heading upto London tomorrow to have a go myself!

[@johndondilla9211]

Love the lighting

[@nicolasvalenciasierra1455]

great video man, very inspiring stuff

[@HalMclaughlin]

you have a great voice, keep singing

[@C.Priesty]

What auto focus setting do you tend to use? I have set the manual to a button now.

[@Sigmasigmamango1826]

I love the videos with this lens, its the main one I use

[@sijilo]

Sun day is fun day

[@adamgregory3030]

Thanks for the tour! I actually shot with you, lol!

[@Lephz]

what are your thoughts on putting the camera settings used for said images? or would that be too time consuming. Regardless, i love the videos as always Sam thank you!

[@Opticalwander]

I have started doing it on other videos, I mix it up sometimes, as a lot of the Learning process is about trial and error and I think people need to go out and make mistakes and try :)

[@askold3419]

Good work 🔥

[@vergeltapispisan1849]

May i ask how do you work your edit, im just starting with photography and i have a 50mm. i really like the outcome of your shots, i have been doing some research but a photographers perspective is a big help. thanks OpticalWander.

[@harveybaker6973]

Great stuff, I’m just starting people/ street photography, you have some nice ideas with the light and shadow shots 😊

[@Rskillswitch]

The picture at 1:49 is probably one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen, that too from that window wtf

[@lubinamarina1612]

9:56 "que surrealista tío"

[@Teh_Chosen_Juan]

what focus mode do you normally use? center? and you doing iso auto? snapping a lot of cool shots with dynamic lighting on the fly.

[@Weap0nsgradePine4pple]

Can't wait to do this when I get to London soon.

[@mrk1w135]

can you try street photography with different cameras like the fujiflm x-e4

[@CSSymbiote]

Love these videos

[@takkamora]

Hi, do you have a tamron 35 f2.8 lens sony FE? Make a video like this about its capabilities, thanks!

[@GiWee]

Awesome video!! I'm definetly going to think about trying out some of your styles, keep it up!!

[@gabrielgeeraets]

Really love the content my guy!! You deserve way more recognition!! Keep up the great work! (P.S. bought the presets a while ago and really love them!!)

[@richardlushenko3429]

I wish I lived in or near such a shootable area

[@juniorcorrea1656]

Any tips for metering and focus points.?

[@tupac1971ful]

So is this budget lens recommended for photography and video?

[@RapidWolf96]

not for video

[@jhova187]

Are these how the pics look stock? Or did you use any software to highlight ? great stuff man !!

[@AntonioRGH]

Beautiful work! Those results are after editing?

[@alfarizi2179]

is that results edited or straight of the camera ?

[@IsmailIsmail-ew4so]

Hey. Do you use a filter while shooting during the day?

[@jtdx_]

50mm 1.8 has unreal price performance

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

I tried out a 50mm f1.8 last week too. Definitely can see why people like that focal length

[@JimSCoyle]

Awesome mate, loved the chill vibe, got the presets last night they look reallllly good. Just need to get the time for some editing now. Have a great weekend 👍🏻. Cheers, jim

[@sarkasaa]

7:22 got me good XD

[@donavan_photos8021]

Great photos

[@danielvolz606]

Great minds think alike!! I just got done with a photo shoot in my area with my 50mm 1.8 📸📸

[@UMESHchavda]

hi man good work

[@medelwaid]

Keep up the good work 🙏

[@justinmcq78]

Dope vid bro! If I don’t have g master cash. Is there another lens you would recommend for A7riv shooter that has the tamron 70-180mm and tokina 85mm already? My other lenses are aps-c and I want to take advantage of the 61 megapixels

[@ericmueller5930]

sony 50mm 1.8 or sony 35mm 1.8 both are relatively cheap. Id recommend the 35mm. I use it with my A7riv and its fantastic.

[@justinmcq78]

@@ericmueller5930 awesome! Thank you

[@Albatrossu]

How’s the 50mm 1.8? I want to buy it but I’m hesitant cause people say it’s awful.

[@Opticalwander]

It’s good for basic stuff, once you start pushing the limits I.e tracking and severe auto focus situations and in video etc yes it lacks compared to others but you get what you pay for ! It’s cheap. But it’s fantastic in most basic settings. Hope this helps

[@joyclicksphoto91]

if you are starting it should be the 1st lens u buy

[@Albatrossu]

@@Opticalwander thank you so much!

[@ChrisBoar]

Any idea on when your new LR mobile presets will be available? Itching to buy them!!!!

[@Opticalwander]

As soon as I can compress the zip file further down from 1.5gb to 300mb

[@johnflanagan44]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jomedial]

What go pro you record with this

[@McBeeStudio]

The laws where you live must be different here in VA. Most people aren't allowed to take photos of random people or businesses unless we get permission first or have a business license for our photography. I am trying to get a LLC right now just to make things easier to get more business in and so I can attend for Car related events.

[@digitalx3136]

I recently bought a Sony A7R2 for 1,300 at Best Buy and the Sony 24-105 G and that lens you are using the Sony 50mm 1.8 for 200 bucks...Im just starting off in photography but what do you think of my purchase? The Sony A7R2 is still pretty good do you agree? The pictures I'm getting are pretty awesome with these lens but that 50 is no joke for the price...pretty insane but love your videos and you are very amazing and make me want to get better

[@CameraEvan]

Second time I’ve almost been featured 😂 keep up the good work mate, it was a great watch!

[@Siskox1]

Please add mobile presets pack of 114 presets. I want to buy it

Do you think 35 is better for most situations than 50?

I follow you from Morocco ❤

[@Opticalwander]

Thank you ! I’ve always wanted to video Morocco

[@raulpavel3d]

Those workers were nice

[@joyclicksphoto91]

what is your GoPro protune settings for pov videos ?

[@Opticalwander]

Gopro colour and 4K 24fps

[@LuckyShirp]

How did you get such deep photos?

[@dowblab]

Are the photos you show after taking the shot processed or the raw photo straight from the camera?

[@dowblab]

Nvm I got to where you mentioned your presets lol

[@mzetsally1115]

Hey, how some of those photos are shot on f 1.8 and the background is not blurred? That's a legit question I'm new to photography so I really want to learn those kind of things. 😅

[@Opticalwander]

it's to do with the where the subject is. if they are closer to the lens then background will be more blurry if they are further away lets say, on the opposite side of the street then the background wont be blurry because they are closer to the "background" than to the lens.

[@heshamlotfy3865]

Can u tell me if there are some problems for sony a7iii like shutter failure ,shutter lag while shooting and screen view

[@Opticalwander]

Never and I abuse my shutter! 7 days a week 365 for the last 3 years. I dread to think what my shutter count is 😂

[@swapnilrasal9937]

50mm focal length is quite difficult to find composition...

[@LeafOfAutumn05]

This street Photographers making me wanna switch to Sony 😂 insane burst speed and focus is insane...

[@ablisfy]

Do you edit the images or is that how that just come out raw?

[@Opticalwander]

“All photos in today’s video are edited with my presets” I literally said that in the video 😂😂

[@ablisfy]

@@Opticalwander What program do you use? Just got a new camera for my photography class and just been binging your videos fr love them. Hoping to get more experienced.

[@DoctorORBiT]

ISO 100 and shutters speed of 1/1600? I would get pitch black images doing that, and I also have a 50mm 1.8. Is this all some a7 III magic? :( I only have a 250D (bought 3 days ago). If my camera sucks that much, please tell me and I'll return it and spend double the money to at least get a a7 II :D

[@superfighter2871]

Where are you living bro Your country look very nice I love it so much ❤️❤️

[@hcppch9550]

Was in London a few weeks ago shooting some 35mm and I did pretty much the exact same walk you did in your video, same streets, alleys and locations. Weird

[@ULTRAFILMZ]

I would like to know if the Sony Alpha 7III shoots raw photo while recording video, can anyone help me?

[@androidgameplays4every13]

Insane chromatic aberration WTF!

[@TheReal2200]

How you get ISO 64 ? i can only make min ISO 100 ?

[@Opticalwander]

Some Sony’s go down to iso 50 and some other brands go lower than 100 however they’re not good isos to use, I should stick with 100 as should you. I personally don’t see much difference but apparently it effect the quality of the final image or something 😂

[@Creativebydny]

Could someone with this lens give me his opinion on it? ✌️

[@paulinho2014mp]

why don't you put subtitles on the videos? Preferably in Portuguese

[@Opticalwander]

Because I don’t know Portuguese and they don’t do it automatically I’ve tired loads of times to do it.

[@paulinho2014mp]

@@Opticalwander I get it. OK then. But it would be nice because I'm not fluent in English, I have a bit of difficulty understanding some things.
