Contrast Street Photography: How To Make Your Shots Stand Out

[@DanielBryn]

Lets find out who watches the FULL video - HOW many coffee sips did I have?

[@eastbanger]

Great that you added so many examples. To be honest, I have never shot at noon when it comes to high contrast type of photography. I liked those photos in which the person was very small and the building or wall was huge. I love that kind of scale. Great job.

[@DanielBryn]

Cheers man, me neither to be honest, but as a challenge I sometimes do. Hence the images I got, so theres always an oportunity. Out shooting now, light is definitely more fun to shoot in late afternoon!

I like that you made a summary section for those who are in a hurry or skip through the videos. Production quality is getting more perfect every new video!

[@DanielBryn]

Heyy Jorge! Thanks, doing my best to improve in each video. Yeah, my girlfriend (that is a teacher) advised me to have a summary like that, really cool that you noticed and remarked it as well!

Great video. Especially for someone who is struggling to find inspiration.

[@DanielBryn]

Hey Thanks! Harsh light is wonderful light if you want to twist your creativity a little. Go find those interesting shadows, and im glad you found this helpful. Cheers for watching!

Thx for the tips. 2 sips ? 😁

[@DanielBryn]

Jackpot :) you are welcome!

[@sherbaju]

@@DanielBryn what metering mode do you typically use for those situation BTW ?

[@DanielBryn]

@@sherbaju Spot metering, and typically set the exposure compensation to -2. You want the shadows vary dark, and ideally not clip the highlights. Lot of trial and error, but this seems to do the trick at least for me.

[@sherbaju]

@@DanielBryn I also use spot but I've never tried with the exposure compensation. Will do now 🙂😉. Thx

[@DanielBryn]

@@sherbaju Oh my, your world will change! It is super effective. Good luck and have fun :)

[@Jorge_Pronto]

ABC! hah!

[@DanielBryn]

Always Bring Camera 📸 should this be on a t-shirt?

[@Jorge_Pronto]

@@DanielBryn Sounds like a great idea! Maybe with the ABC stacked vertically, so it really shows
