CITY STREET POV PHOTOGRAPHY - SONY A6400 (Sigma 18-50mm F2.8)

another prime example that you don't need a bazillion dollar camera to make stunning photos. it's all about the composition and getting the most out of what you have (which to be fair is a lot when it comes to this camera and lens combo)

[@PatrickS.]

This place looks unreal, the overcast and rain is incredible! You really nail the moody look!

[@ThepPixel]

My hands were sweating loads as you dangled the camera out over the street

[@CurtisPadley]

Mine were to... Or was that rain water making the camera even harder to hold on to? 🤣

[@OmarKrupp]

@@CurtisPadley Hi just wanted to ask if your preset has already been edited. Or I have to make the adjustments myself??

[@_SavageProductions_]

The symmetry of the trams together 🔥

[@marc_likes_marketing]

man, i'd be scared of ruining the lens (no weather-sealing). sick pics like always. it's good to see a weather-sealed frame is enough.

[@wanderdutts4584]

So, with your preset pack, would I just apply a preset and then maybe just tweak the exposure/shadows and that should do it? I am pretty interested in the moody street one, and may get the Ultimate one too as I've had my eye on them for a while as love how yours look and don't want to spend hours editing each one. You should do an editing tutorial. That would be 🔥🔥

[@sebastianconstantin5176]

superb, this is gonna be my next camera, until i get it, i enjoy ur videos. love your presets too, ill sure get them.

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy that's awesome you'll have a right camera on your hands! 👐📸 And some presets to 😉📷⚡

[@yusufsonde3408]

Your Edits are amazing.

[@jdubyah30]

You're now one of my faves. I am in the States and started shooting with the Signa 18-50 2.8 and Sigma 24-70 2.8...Love your content.

[@jdmgsr05]

Which lense do you like better

[@maddavey1907]

HI Curtis. Late to the game but love this vid. Have plucked up courage to buy A6400 and am so inspired by your vids. Love the Manchesta vibe to this Vid

[@gcs2715]

How are you finding the A6400?

[@al_photography_15]

so can i use the exact same setup (a6400 and the sigma 18-50mm f2.8) in the rain without damaging anything?

[@incrediblebart5044]

Angielski I would like to know what photo profile you use to take photos of sony6400? You are doing a great job !!!

[@mattfrosty_craftnvape4952]

Another awesome video and that camera and lens combo looks so small and portable, real teavel friendly. Huge thanks for the shout in the #cpphoto section too what a compliment

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy thanks Matt! It's a beastly little combo ⚡Your welcome mate, keep up the great work! 📸

[@inked_Scar]

your amazing and your videos help me learn alot keep it up

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate, glad these videos help! ⚡📸😁

[@ninotookit4272]

I was sold the first 5 mins of the video wow such a beautiful accent and contrast from that lens and you don’t need a lot of edit for the photo that wats blowing my mind 😭🔥🔥

[@DoctorF1984]

If i had one wish to you i would wish longer Videos. Great Art.

[@amboka]

Your videos are simply great. I was wondering if lack of image stabilization on lens and camera affects raw photos ?

[@CurtisPadley]

Thank you! And to answer your question no! Doesn't effect photography in most scenario!

[@kotsios1600]

That lens is not that weather sealed. I am getting it tomorrow. Aren't you scared its goin to get water or dust inside?

[@johnnybermudez]

Dope AF. Love the content. New sub! 🙏🏼📸

[@eko2805]

I'm a beginner, and this might be a sily question, but if the lens says for example f/2.8 like this one, how are you able to use for example f10 and so on? I thought that if u use that lens, you'd be only able to use that specific aperture?

[@taylorrobbins24]

The aperture is adjustable, 2.8 is just the best it will get

[@manothamareddy8302]

F2.8 is the least you can set.The lower the aperture value goes higher the price goes

[@vipul8859]

Great videos, really inspiring man, planning to buy my first ever camera. Haven’t seen you use an evf in any of your videos…need to decide between zve10 and a6400, at the moment thinking of learning photography but may take a few videos….wot would you suggest? The tilt screen on a6400 seems archaic and more like a flawed design. Please suggest? Thanks.

[@officialabdulrehman]

It's finally out!! Time to enjoy

[@11daniiell]

Hello, excellent video, I would like to know which camera is the one you recorded the whole video with, is it a go pro?

[@DoeJohne]

I have very first lens of Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS from Sony Nex era. They both have similar focal lenghts with Sigma and Sony has OSS and Sigma has better image quality i guess. I will generally use for travel/daily photo shoot. I have A6400 now and i'm wondering should i change this lens with Sigma or is it unnecessary, what do you suggest? Thanks

[@vikingjack9994]

Got my First camera in June (Sony a6400) it came with "kit lense". Been outside more since i got the camera then i have in a long time, and im loving it! im thinking of buying the sigma 56 for portraits. Wich lense would you recommend for street photography ? And wich for Landscapes ?

[@Chanok69]

how has it been using the kit lens? I got mine about 2 weeks ago and I've been told to get this lens and drop the other one.

[@gcs2715]

⁠@@Chanok69in good light, you can get some great images with the kit lens. I’d personally recommend maxing out the kit lens first, learning all the basics before you upgrade. Curtis has done a video on the kit lens (16-50mm), which I’d recommend watching!

[@ridoriefdian8927]

I just watch this vid in 2024. I love both ur shoot and your edits! Looks so amazing. The question is, does a6600 has weather seal? How do u clean and treat your camera after it getting wet like that? I really wanna do took some shot at rainy day as well but I'm too afraid it's gonna damage the camera 🥲 mine is a6400 btw. Anw. Can't wait another content from this channel! 🔥

[@glosteradv]

A6600 is not weather sealed, A6400 is. Remember you need weather sealed lens as well for combo to work in rain!

[@Ryanphotos1]

New to your channel..was wondering what focus zone you usually use for street photography? Also i currently have the a6700 and have a couple of payed gigs for portrait shoot. If you were me what sigma lens would you reach for ? Thank you so much, cheers✌️

[@ricardolee2397]

Awesome!

[@hayabusa27]

Does the A6400 have weather sealing?? its all wet out there

[@citiesinspace]

You have a chance to check out the upgraded Tamron 28-75 g2? I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and it’s a really good lens!

[@CurtisPadley]

Maybe in the future mate, no plans atm, heard good things though! ⚡

[@Edwin1947D]

Why not use a peak design wrist strap attached to the anchors already on your camera- especially when hanging over the edge of a building? My cameras are virtually always tethered to my wrist, eliminating any possibility of the camera slipping out of my hand to disastrous consequence.

[@CurtisPadley]

Very simple explanation. I forgot the wrist strap 😂

[@CallumAFK]

No better combo for camera and lens well the sony f4 18-105mm is also a must have lens! Awesome video mate, i still struggle to get over the feeling awkward pulling my camera out in public, yet its not against the law in public areas, i still feel like its wrong hahah

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! Ohhh I get that feeling, street photography can heighten anyone's anexity but just gotta practice 🤙

[@CallumAFK]

@@CurtisPadley Oh for sure! I am slowly trying to get out more even though i do videography and photography as my company, i find it awkward doing street work as you never know peoples reactions to being captured haha, but love your work and channel!

[@TrexxWind]

I am rightnow between the Sigma 18-50 and the Tamron 17-70 for my a6400. Love the small size of the Sigma, but the Tamron has the stabilisation.. but how important is that when i only take photos with it like 95% of the time?? :)

[@ninjatogo]

The stabilization is important for photos as well, especially at the longer end of the focal range.

[@TrexxWind]

@@ninjatogo i bought the tamron 1 week ago and i am in love with it 🤘🏻😊

[@dani_el_mata]

Your videos are really inspiring and make me want to go out and take pictures right now in the street. Could you share your gopro preset to have that view please

[@Neosword89]

Did you lose the eyecup mid session? I heard that it is very easy to lose.

[@salvitamarinromero]

Máquina ❤

[@Kepa_pl_music]

what focus settings do You use? I somehow cannow het my pics in focus when I do street photos.

[@officialabdulrehman]

Any idea on how to correct the barrel distortion from this lens when shooting at wide end ? I am a newbie, and struggling a bit xD

[@thiagotzefcb]

lightroom can do that

[@CurtisPadley]

In Lightroom go to len corrections, that's where you can correct the barrel distortion! 📸🙂

[@giovannigio6217]

I always keep a backup sd card on my bag. when the main one is full I use the backup one, which must always be empty. this allowed me to avoid what happened to you. but the problem I got, is that I may forget the main sd card at home attached to my pc and I go out and I have to use the backup sd. this never caused issues since 128GB are hard to fill, but I still haven't found the perfect formula.

[@Vxlphy]

i'm kind of a beginner and i was wondering, are these in 3 by 2 or 16 by 9?

[@cojventures7911]

What is that hot shoe adapter that you use. it look so small. Thanks

[@mg893-k4f]

@curtis Do you use iso auto ever? and in this one how do you recommend quickly adapting settings for a photo . I'm new to photography and have a sony a7iv with a 50mm 1.8 and a sigma 24-70mm 2.8. Trying to figure out what is best for my trip to london,scottland and paris. Also your videos are so awesome to watch!

[@christiancharlesbennett1086]

wht filter do you use? nd or cpl or nd+cpl sorry for the noob question.

[@hobbybymyself870]

Hello Curtis did you use Nd filter white shotting?

[@Unforgivenn]

are you using Auto focus the whole video? how does it pair up to manual Ive always wondered if auto would be more useful to me since i do kind of quick street photogrpahy or taking pictures of my friends while theyre walking trying to capture natural moments. Ive alwats found it annoying to manually focus every shot but I always hear how manual focus is better than auto. thoughts?

[@IBGNW]

Manual is better but only if the object at same distance (sometimes auto miss on my camera so I prefer manual to make sure), while in movement like this I think autofocus is more convenient. In video it seems he just adjust the zoom for framing not the focus

[@MinhHa-zu8pg]

Nice pictures and review! So the Sigma 18 50 2.8 can be used in small rains?

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy thanks! Yes it can be used in the rain! 😁
