Whats your favourite Lens for Street Photography?

[@neuszod5489]

Καλησπέρα Ηλία! εγώ προσωπικά προτιμώ τον 35αρι f1,8 (Nikon) για street photography. πολύ καλές οι φώτο σου όπως πάντα. keep up the good work!!!

I've had tons of fun with the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G.. It let's me get good shots without having to get too close to people ahaha But I recently got the Nikon 50mm f1.8G but haven't really put it to the test ☺️

Man, this is so challenging. I did like this a few times in Asia where I live. Many non-photography lovers don't understand how happy we were when we do streets photography especially me as only a hobbyist, it means a lot. You took many good photos. Thanks for the video. 👍

[@KK_21]

85mm is the ideal lens for street photography. Excellent video, great that you spoke in English and you ‘got some really good shots.

[@IliasKoureas]

I love it! Especially when I used it in London. Beautiful focal length and Compression

[@sssssssssssssses]

85mm lens for the portret. And for street is the ideal lens 28, 35, 50 mm

[@IliasKoureas]

I think I used af-c only if I'm not mistaking 😄

[@arongamer5947]

I'm 16 years old and I love photography, I was thinking about buying an s22 ultra for the camera, but this video made my heart beat with excitement and decided to buy a Nikon D-5300 instead.

[@arongamer5947]

The focus, the lighting, everything looks infinitely superior, I'm so excited :///0

[@irfaan_ayoob]

Nothing beats the quality of a DSLR camera, I have a Nikon D3400 too, and it takes far superior photos than my 60MP smartphone camera.

[@dogukancs]

@@irfaan_ayoob bc its about the sensor sizing guyz

[@irfaan_ayoob]

@@dogukancs Yes, exactly. The sensor in the DSLR can be 40 times larger. And I love the focus also while the background is blurred in the DSLR, on a smartphone it's fake blur lol, some people might not know about this. I remember the sales person who was telling me to buy a smartphone as they are presumably better. Glad I didn't listen, the best decision I made in buying the D3400.

[@tonetonic2013]

the scooter shot nice,selective colour only the blue of the scooter maybe!,the mum and boy is excellent would be even better as a front portrait i feel..nice video-:)😀

[@gasbike100mpg]

great pics. i am thinking that 200mm or 300mm would be better if possible. those are the focal lengths i use for this type of street photography so that i can get people from the front, instead of the back, plus i can blur out the background and still retain the context. thanks. 85mm might be better suited for train station or crowd , where you can go straight on the front of person a bit easier, plus closer.

[@RBLT3DDY]

Το πρόβλημα της πόλεώς μας δεν είναι η ασυμμετρία, αλλά η έλλειψις ασφαλείας. Αυτή η "ασυμμετρία" μπορεί να σου δώσει πολλές φωτογραφικές ευκαιρίες, αλλά όταν πρέπει να κατέβεις στο κέντρο με σωματοφύλακες, χάνεις εκτός από τις ευκαιρίες και την ηρεμία σου. Αν και με δυσκολεύουν οι φακοί σταθερoύ εστιακού μήκους, αυτός ο 85mm δίδει εξαιρετικά αποτελέσματα!

[@IliasKoureas]

Έχεις δίκιο, αυτή η ασυμμετρία μας δίνει κάδρα που σε άλλες χώρες μπορούν μόνο να ονειρεύονται. Ωστόσο νιώθω πως γίνεται ένας χαμός από πολλές "πληροφορίες" σε αρκετούς δρόμους της Αθήνας και με δυσκολεύει να δώσω έμφαση σε αυτό που θέλω, διότι απλά χάνεται μέσα στην πολύ πληροφορία. Το θέμα περί ασφαλείας δεν θέλω καν να το ξεκινήσω γιατί δεν θα σταματήσω ποτέ να μιλάω 😭

[@HertyWade]

Really a great inspration for me to take up my D3400 again

[@soumyaghosh2892]

I have noticed this on my D5300. It multiplies by 1.5 and shows the focal length on my phone. But same image shows the correct focal length on my Desktop. So I guess it's the phone which is doing the multiplication

I really enjoy your vlog. One question what you think about shooting through the screen only. New Z30 has no evf. So will it be good for street photography?

[@IliasKoureas]

I personally shoot 90% through my screen with my Zfc. I mostly use the viewfinder to check exposure in harsh sunlight. I'd be fine with a camera without a viewfinder especially for street photography

Hi, nice video. Are you using gopro to shoot you while you are taking photo with dslr?

[@IliasKoureas]

Yes. Back then I used the GoPro 7. Now I've upgraded to the GoPro 11

[@keepmariano]

Make a video of how you have edited these photos on lightroom. Do you keep putting the clarity parameter on the negative side like you did in night photography?

[@IliasKoureas]

That's a good idea! The clarity in these pictures is around -10 to +5. Im not playing with clarity a lot during daylight 🙏

[@Vanosphere]

Do you have a filter on that lens or is it post production. I like the look

[@IliasKoureas]

Thank you! It's post production!

[@ph4ntom233]

Does the Z mount fit on the Dx series ? Great vid BTW !

F mount DX lenses can be used on the z mount with an adaptor, if that's what you are asking You can't use Z mount lenses on DSLRs Thank you 💘

[@ofLahore]

Hi, What lenses do you have with crop sensor?

[@IliasKoureas]

For nikon crop dslrs i would suggest the sigma 17-50mm 2.5 , nikon 35mm 1.8 DX and the Nikon 85mm 1.8 for portraits

[@Brypadlan_films_photography]

Great job bro. Is your lens 1.8g 85mm is good for all occasions? Indoor and outdoor? Without flash?

[@IliasKoureas]

It's amazing for outdoors. For indoors it depends on the situation. The room needs to be big and as I can't tell you if you need a flash or not. This always depends on your lighting conditions no matter what lens you use 🙏

[@Brypadlan_films_photography]

1.8g is the best? Whether 85mm or 135mm?

[@Cezarygon]

This lens is bit of weak when shooting up straight to sun, big chromatic aberration , specially on 1.8. This photo what You made under the shade, are much cleaner then this on open scenario.
