epidemic sound 🙌🏻

I watched your video to see your zone focusing settings and exposure settings for your Leica M camera but instead found a great video on the exposure triangle. Thanks for the great video.

[@ryandavid]

Awesome to hear. Glad it was helpful!

Good video. With the Leica M11P , 60 MP when I shoot with my Summilux 50mm f1,4 , i must shoot at minimum 1/250 secs. And I have to be very stable at this shutter speed. The ideal without risk is 500 to 750 . The more pixels you got , the more risk to have motion blur in your images.

Great video, Thank you!

[@ryandavid]

Glad you liked it. You're welcome!

Can you do a video for night street photography for the M10-R? Thinking of getting one. Thanks!

[@ryandavid]

I have it on my little list of topics...Will definitely get to it soon as the days get shorter!

Excellent job of explaining zone focusing, shutter speed and how the exposure triangle plays a role in street photography.

[@ryandavid]

thanks so much! I appreciate it a lot, and thanks for watching :)

It is one of the best video I have seen on Leica M10 on you tube. Thank you. I am passionate about learning photography. I have xpro2, I love range finders but xpro2 has all Apparture shutter and ISO auto and auto focusing. Do you suggest if I can buy Leica M10. Is it a good camera to learn photography if someone can affort it? I am scared if I would not able to take good pictures from Leica specifically of my kids running around or moving object on street photography.

Hi Ryan, nice to see meet you. I use aperture priority with auto ISO up to 12500 with AWB on my m10. I add heavy grain to my images so I do not mind the digital noise one bit.

[@ryandavid]

whatever works for you! that's what's important for sure. We're all just out making what we want to make, so that's great that you've found a system that works for you 🤟🏼

[@schecterman7193]

Congrats for this video and your channel! What about if I'm in full manual mode (I choose my ISO, shutter speed and aperture)? I guess it doesn't matter which light metering mode you choose (spot, evaluative etc...). Am I right? I've done some tests, and the metering mode makes no difference when I'm in full manual.Could you confirm (or not...) please ? Regards.

Great video Ryan! One confusion; f/8 for what focal length? Thank you😊

[@ryandavid]

I think you mean as part of "f/8 and be there"? On a cloudy day try it with ISO 800 and your shutter around 1/500, or ISO 400 and shutter 1/250. On a sunny day, try it with ISO 100 and shutter 1/250. Those are probably a good ballpark but you'll need to test it out with your own gear and tweak it a bit to your liking and style...

[@jagadishtiwari622]

Not satisfied. Anyway, thank you Ryan😊

[@ryandavid]

OH. I see you said focal length. My bad, I responded too early in the morning 🐣 The photos in this video were mostly made on 28mm. But the approach is the same, regardless of focal length. Use the one you like! Cheers.

[@jagadishtiwari622]

@@ryandavid Thank you Ryan! Got it.⚘😊

[@tomcooper9149]

Very good video explaining the exposure triangle. One question though,What exposure mode on your M do you find works best for street photography and for general photography?

[@ryandavid]

I shoot either in manual (70-80%) or aperture priority (20-30%), depending on the situation or desired effect.

Ryan Do you give in - person lessons

[@ryandavid]

Hey there - shoot me a DM on Insta @mr.ryandavid and happy to chat about it. I do one-offs in NYC

[@zeogen]

auto iso is helpful in lowlight. just set a max iso you are comfortable with

[@GillesQuennevilleGQ]

In Leica M…A - is for aperture ,,,not for automatic
