55 Hours of Street Photography in Berlin with the Fujifilm X-T30II (POV)

[@Hamad.1337]

I ordered an X-T30 II today and am so hyped to shoot my very first pictures with it. This will be my first camera

[@ShotsByJev]

Hope you will have a great time with this camera!

[@nikhilkumarmishra2178]

i'm thinking of ordering it as my first camera. how are you liking it ?

[@Hamad.1337]

@@nikhilkumarmishra2178 This is very, very good for the first camera. I got the XC 15-45mm lens. And as a first lens it wasn't for me. Personally, I would get a different lens. Since this is only good for landscapes and architecture. If that's what you want to photograph, go for it.

[@Blah-blah-sure]

Thanks for the video& pics. And nice music. Your photography & others takes me to places I’ve never been. And I appreciate it!

[@ShotsByJev]

Thank you very much, this is so nice to hear!

[@jtchalatsis]

I'm a video shooter for work and exclusively use Lumix cameras but I wanted something lightweight I could bring with me when travelling and this video made me order the X-T30ii! I recently was in Berlin and I love your photos. Thank you very much!

[@ShotsByJev]

Glad to be helpful, hope you will enjoy yiur camera!

[@falguniandmanish_]

Lovely photos. Few of these places are my favourite to do street photography.

[@JoseRamirez-cd7ge]

Nice simulation. What is the one you use it for this video?

[@ShotsByJev]

Wish I would remember, but unfortunatelly it was shot way back in summer 2023 and I tried few simulations and lost track of them. But I do remember it was based on Classic Neg I think

[@LEGOGamesTV]

love this video i think im going to buy fujifilm xt30 II silver edition it look so filmish like :D

[@ShotsByJev]

Thanks! If you considering getting XT30II I couldnt recommend it more, it is a great camera!

[@donjuan2oo6]

Just bought this camera with the 18-55mm lens kit. I’ve been watching videos for months now.

[@ShotsByJev]

Nice to hear, hope you will have a great time with yiur new camera!

[@rendipermanasatya714]

Awesome photos! Btw I'm planning to buy an XT30 ii, which lens do you think is better: kit lens 15-45mm or Ttartisan 27mm? It's for everyday use. Thanks!

[@ShotsByJev]

Thank you! Well, for the first lens I would recommend 27mm as it has brighter aperture than 15-45mm that at times can be too dark. But both lenses are good, I shot everything in this video with xc15-45mm lens

[@Blah-blah-sure]

@@ShotsByJevI was just about to ask, what lens you were using. 😊

[@ShotsByJev]

I always mention everything in the description, the set I use, but I guess maybe I should include it in the video also

[@ShotsByJev]

Oh, I thought you were replying to the comment about what lens I used in video, now I see it is in the recommendation comment 😁

[@rendipermanasatya714]

@@ShotsByJev thank you! Planning to buy the one with kit lens now, as the "body only" is harder to get in my country 😄

[@yg_bloom3974]

Thank you for the wonderful picture. What kind of film simulation did you use?

[@ayberkör]

Hi Jev, I shoot with analog cameras, but I've decided to get a digital one. I'm undecided between the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III with the 14-42mm kit lens and the Fuji X-T30II with the XF 16-50mm kit. Which one would be better for street photography

[@ShotsByJev]

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately I havent tried the Olympus one. But X-T30ii should be great for street photography especially paired with XF16-50 or XF18-55 check the X-T30ii review on my channel. Also X-S20 is another great option that has IBIS and bigger battery.

[@holynanhean4289]

What filter setting did you use on these photos?

[@Knightyear]

Did you use auto setting mostly or did you stay in aperture mode a lot in this video?

[@ShotsByJev]

Ot depends, often I would use P mode with exposure compensation or A/S mode for aperture or shutter priority

[@TheSilentYoutuber]

This video made me buy this camera. Can you share the recipes, please?

[@ShotsByJev]

Nice to hear! I actually have made few videos about film simulations, you can check playlist on my channel. In the future will make more film simulations for sure!

[@apexpredator9185]

Straight out of camera? No edits?

[@ShotsByJev]

Almost, just minor contrast and exposure adjustments

[@Shiv-amuktha]

Plan to buy this little beast, but i need cheap and best lens for xt-30 they perform like Expensive lens.. please suggest third party lens or can i go with xc15-45 ?

[@ShotsByJev]

Hey, your approach is a bit incorect, if you want cheap lens that perfrom like expensive you wont find that, because expensive lenses are that for a reason. The only exception I could say is Fujifilm XC35mm f2 which is identical to XF35mm f2 lens, but in a cheaper plastic body. Regarding XC15-45 is great if you know what this lens is. It is good for bright daylight as it has dark aperture, so in the evening you will have darker images. You can watch my video review about this lens here, hope it will be helpful to you kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHyTknebhJ1goa8

[@abdullahalkathiree6374]

Awesome, is it an auto mode ?

[@ShotsByJev]

On the streets I usually shoot in P mode with exposure compensation dial.

[@thahab9588]

Is it your own recipe? If it is please drop it in the description box.

[@apexpredator9185]

straight out of camera? no post edits?

[@ShotsByJev]

Yes, only slight contrast and exposure adjustments

[@siddhantdhiman7754]

which lens did you use ?

[@ShotsByJev]

I linked lenses I use in the description, but the main I used was Fujifilm XC15-45

[@avarage_consumer5779]

How do you deal with the whole privacy law in Germany? I´ve seen a lot of discussion about it and most say that you cant have a person in frame at all while I always see videos like yours where you are clearly not asking everyone for their permission to get their photo taken. please help a beginner street photographer in Germany here 😅

[@ShotsByJev]

Well, I was there only for a few day and didnt encounter any problem at all. I usually shoot a bit from A distance so that helps and people usualy dont see I’m taking pictures. Also I did a video of taking portraits of people in Berlin and told everyone of them It is for youtube and all of them were fine with that. So I guess as long as you dont annoy people then it should be fine.

[@avarage_consumer5779]

@@ShotsByJev Thanks a lot for the help man.

[@Raresiom]

you should ask people after if its okay and if you want to publish it somewhere or even monetize it, you should have some legal form that they allow it to you. You can print that on a tear-off-block for example or keep some sheets with you. At least if they are recognizable. Otherwise you ca claim it is art and you captured the scene, not the persons per se.

[@gutpunkt]

Are there ever people telling you to delete pictures of them? If so, how do you react?

[@ShotsByJev]

So far no, but I was recently in London and was walking holding a GoPro in my hand (turned off) and one black woman with a mask (seemed like homeless) started shouting and accusing me of terrorising people and her with camera, so I had to go to nearest hotel for the security because I was afraid ahe could even attack me. So security helped me, saw that there she wasnt on the footage and let me go. So far the scariest moment I encountered during my tavels.

[@RobOngrui]

Let's just hope no one is suing you, because by publishing you broke several german laws.

[@ShotsByJev]

If anyone in the photos would see themselves in it and would like to be removed I would gladly blur them out :)

[@_rkrd]

German people aren't really litigious though

[@ISmellMusky]

yeah, but he's not German. So nobody is going to go through the hassle of trying to extradite him for that. What do you think how many Asian/ South East Asian/Middle eastern tourists just upload their photos from Germany on the web. It's not possible to enforce these German privacy laws all around the world.
