I have been primarily shooting in monochrome for 22 years for mostly portraits and street photography. Then during the pandemic I got into macro photography in color and I haven’t taken any pictures in monochrome since. I’m now obsessed shooting in color.

Just as colour can be a visual distraction, obtrusive music can take away the impact away from an image - photography is a VISUAL medium after all. Just because you CAN add an audio track it doesn't mean you HAVE to - let the photos tell the story! Other than that, cracking video man, some great, congtrasty B&W photography.

Sensational images. That style of B&W street photography with deep blacks and heavy shadows is perfection. Btw, that Nikon E lens, while very good, was their consumer “economy” line. Maybe try a Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 AIS, they are outstanding. Kudos.

My 5d stopped autofocusing years ago, but I love the sensor that much, I've only adapted lenses since. Look into magic lantern firmware. The 5d version has focus peaking during image review, since no live view, so at least you know if you should reshoot.
@danthe_cameraman Жыл бұрын
That does sound handy to have, the challenge I find when using adapted glass is knowing if I hit focus, often just having to trust myself. I'll check out Magic Lantern for sure!

Love your shots, and I have a very similar setup. I bought a 5dc in the last months and have been shooting a variety of vintage glass. My favourites are a Takumar 55mm 1.8 and a OM Zuiko 50mm 1.8. Both are very cheap and excellently made so they focus really smoothly.

A buddy of mine has a 5D Classic he hasn't used in years. He said I could have it. Honesty, I don't really need another camera, but when I watch videos like this I think I should take him up on his offer.

Beautiful shots man The 5D classic is on my buying list Well if you want to enjoy black and white more I advice you to pick an old Nikon Camera with a CCD sensor You will get amazing shots with this filmic vibe style I recently bought a Nikon D70s and it’s an amazing old OG Nikon camera I am sure you will have so much fun if you can pick up an old Nikon Using an old DSLR on the streets is still worth it even in 2023 I recommend the Nikon D200…

If you like B&W contrast why don't you go into the camera menu and add a colored filter. And if you really want an antique look add sepia filter. I do this with my 5D MKii. And vintage Minolta glass. Love it.

How did you handle focusing manually? Is there a easy way to do it on a DSLR like this? Back when I had a Nikon DSLR I struggled with focusing manually.

With the Canon I use back button focusing, holding it while focusing manually until it confirms focus It’s a lot easier to focus during the day as well, using higher apertures to increase the focus range

Yeah I used an EF to Nikon F mount. The adapter I used also has the electronic patch on the back to help with focus confirmation but I don't think it's 100% required for the 28mm unless you're shooting less than F/5.6

Bro thats a really cool video, I do street photography too and I have been considering the idea to get a 5D classic and a 40mm (but for the moment I use a compact g9X) my question is How do you feel about having a big camera in the streets for street photography? is it comfortable? Do people notice you when taking photos ?

I'm making a follow-up video for this soon! But in short, pairing it with small light primes and using a strap is okay. You do get noticed much more but that's not a bad thing - more detail in my next video!
