CITY STREET POV PHOTOGRAPHY - SONY A6400 (Sigma 85mm F1.4)

[@michaelespeland]

That staircase shot is actually amazing!

[@mahmoodisaeed]

That's probably the best a6400 video out there. Beautiful pictures.

[@marcusgregory9571]

So this was actually a 127.5mm with the 1.5 crop and you still crushed it when most people shy away from 135mm for street photography 🔥🔥🔥

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks dude! Would really like to try a 135mm prime that be 🤯

[@javoxir_100daraja]

​@@CurtisPadleyHello, brother, I got interested after this video, I liked and subscribed, can you make a video about cameras that can take good photos at a low price, thanks.😊

the floating staircase is a once in a lifetime shot

[@JudieneHelmsley]

This video is so inspiring for a beginner like me because I am a shy person and it looks fun seeing you working that camera as I have the same model as well but I don't know if I am mentally strong enough to go out and just shoot like you did especially taking photos of strangers as people would probably looking at me like I am some sort of paparazzi or something haha.

[@kristiangurholt59]

I just got an a6100 and I feel the same, but honestly don’t even worry about it and just do your thing! As long as you don’t invade peoples personal space you should be fine. People might even be interested in what your doing, and will let you practice taking pictures of them if you ask.

[@AhmadHassan-ye3pf]

A zoom lens like this will allow you to take nice photos without invading people's privacy.

[@MathiBA]

Hello Curtis, the Street POV is very nice, shooting people on street, have you ever had any trouble or their concerns?

[@nacantremember]

There’s a few places in Manchester I’d be wary of ….

[@nuni.v2350]

❤❤🏳️

[@experimental3858]

It's my dream lens. Until now I can't have her. Because the price was high. Thank you friend with your vlog. I'll work more and save up

[@devineffendi]

you can consider 85 viltrox 1.8

[@Moba2328]

@experimental i feel ur pain brother but it hurts more when you don't have any cameras yeah that's me without camera

[@kasturiGM]

this lens used to be in my wishlist too since it first came out. only now i am able to have one. i bought it used tho. but still i am amazed with the detail, sharpness, color and the subject separation. i used to add a little contrast and sharpness on my photos back then but with this lens, it’s like everything i shot, looks better straight out of the camera. back then i can only afford yong nuo 85mm f1.8. it was the cheapest 85mm for sony back then. around $300. but i still have fun using it for about 3 years. it is a pretty good lens. if you could throw in another $60 or so, you could get a viltrox. it’s on par with yong nuo, just a little sharper i think. anyway, i pray you’ll have this lens real soon.

[@JamesMold]

I recently bought the A6400 with two Sony lenses (16-50 and 24-70) and I love this camera. Even though i am still learning theres so much this camera can do, i use mine almost daily. Love these videos as they give me some great creative ideas and hopefully once I visit Norway I will be even better at taking amazing photos.

[@ZachMayfield]

Just stopping by to compliment this thumbnail. Holy Lord it's good!

[@CurtisPadley]

All credit has to go to @cameralizardphotos 🤙

[@ZacharyDoehler]

Most photography videos I watch (especially gear reviews), have such underwhelming photography. This video on the other hand was just amazing. Phenomenal shots!

[@MrBlackSwarm]

this is still pretty mediocre, but some shots were good - staircase to heaven for an example. The rest is ok - still better than most of these "photographers". The common problem is that these photos don't mean anything. They are just pictures with no emotion behind them.

[@ZacharyDoehler]

@@MrBlackSwarm Go create something better then...? Really don't understand pointless critiquing when you don't really have anything exceptional to show yourself. Focus more on your own art and less on criticizing others. This was an excellent video with a lot of great images, some of which in my opinion, have plenty of emotion.

[@sean1e100]

2 years later and I’m still learning a lot from this 1) Don’t fear full frame on apsc 2) Shooting wide open in daytime on moving subjects is doable 3) 122 focal length can be used anywhere 4) Experiment all the time

[@everythinginbetween3306]

Been watching a lot of pov street photography but this one’s on top of them! I mean the shots are effortlessly stunning! ❤ new subscriber here! You really deserves more subs and views! Hope you keep doing this pov videos 🙏❤️

My Favorite Lens 😍

[@avijitbiswas3118]

Just want to ask you for a suggestion, for this kind of street photography which lens will be better for Sony apsc? Sony 85mm f1.4 or sigma 18 -50 f2.8?

[@HoomanBhr]

Love your shooting style , great job. I'm considering to buy a 85mm lens for my A7iv and do you think there is a huge different between Sigma 85 f1.4 vs Sony FE f1.8 ? does it worth it to get the Sigma ?

[@fluxx2875]

What a cool and motivating video with damn beautiful pictures! Well done, keep up the great work 💪👍 How did you learn all this? Do you have any tips for beginners?

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks dude! I have done some video about street photography tips, might be some help! But do aim to do more tutorials in the future to really help people out! 🤙

[@justinhicks3783]

These shots are exactly what I want to start getting more of. Trading a lense for this one, Do you find aperture priority useful with the 6400? Subscribed, bought presets Thanks brutha

[@CurtisPadley]

I haven't used it much but definitely has its benefits. Thanks for subbing dude and hope you are enjoying using the presets 👌

[@usersangsa]

WHOA amazing!!! thanks for the video

[@patricklacson]

You convinced me to get the Sony 85mm F1.8 (not 1.4 since it's way cheaper and has faster autofocus). Can't wait to try street photography with it.

[@nifteeone]

Nice work Curtis, super fun to watch.

[@leoconing]

Awesome vid Curtis, my favourite photos were the ones of the people on the tram they are insane

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! 🤙

[@bcegerton]

Gutted, I was in Manchester yesterday, usually go ever Thursday, will meet up at some point, would have been great to meet both you and Jack, as for Trams they are a staple shot in Manchester, a must do shot or ten. I’m looking at getting the Viltrox 56mm for my Fuji Xt3 but not sure as I’m really thing of getting the Sony A7iii next year if funds allow that is. Great video though, that “Church Building” is actually the back of Minshull Street Courts by the way. I was really annoyed with all the works in front of the Manchester Cathedral ( the old church), we were there in the afternoon and the light was awesome around there at 3.30pm Must say, love the images Curtis, some food for thought there for some of my own work I’ve got planned.

[@maheshreddy6217]

When you are taking pictures of people, the ones who are behind a mirror/glass in particular, I see there are reflections of trees and other people who are outside on the glass. But they were not captured in your camera. Were you using a CPL filter?

[@kalyankarumudi2343]

Hey, nice photos. One doubt, are the final photos edited, or are all of them straight out of camera

[@Bambeakz]

Upgrading fromm my old Canon S120 (still love it) i was looking at the A6400 because i think new compacts are to close to my phone. But i thought i needed the viewfinder but now i see you don't using at all. So that brings the Sony ZV-E10 back in the picture..Choices choices

[@peachesjones5586]

What lens were you using in your room? I love the look!

[@DALTONSART]

Hello, any tips for the best setup settings for photo/video for the Sony 6400?

[@jamiemaravilla2919]

Good day to you Curtis! Can I ask if you think that the Sony A6400 is still worth it for me to buy? I do both photography and videography and I was wondering if the A6400 is good for both. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

[@faraharischa253]

If i have that camera,do i need to add with the lens? Your snap was amazing.

[@JezzieBoy]

Hey Curtis, I just bought an a6400 and I was just curious for when you do street photography, do you use aperture priority mode?

[@mohammadsajjad8757]

Can u say me the price

[@yngstelevende3160]

use manual at all times

[@yngstelevende3160]

just change the apeture manually

Amazing work! putting the 85 to great use!

[@strassen-affe]

Great shots! I like your videos :)

[@shotbymarlozan]

Hello Curtis. Thank you for the video. So nice clean job! I think I was a year late. lol. I would like to know your opinion about choosing between Sony A6400 and Canon R50. The scenario: I plan to study photography in the future. For now, I have never had a camera in my hands. But I want to do POV photography. I like these two cameras. But the A6400 is Weather Sealed and the Canon R50 is not. Maybe I would think of Nikon Z30, who also is Weather Sealed. I search between these three cameras for my decision. Oh I live under the endless summer and rains everywhere in Florida. 😂 Thanks in advance for your advice. I appreciate it very much.

[@sumodon28]

Love all these capture and POV! Noticed the dude with "swagga" was flipping you the bird at 17:47 😯

Hey! Should i get the a6400 or a7iii?

[@HardyHeron]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is an excellent lens! I am from Chile and this spring I will travel to London and Edinburgh on my honeymoon. What lens do you recommend for that type of weather, because part of the time it is quite cloudy. I ask because I like street and landscape photography. My camera is a Canon 90D. PS: If anyone can comment on this I would appreciate it. Greetings from Chile!

[@arshiamnr2667]

Hey curtis...nice to see your photos you are one of the best photographer i've ever seen...i have a question about your amazing camera... do u ever heard about sony zv e10?is this camera better than sony a6400? Do you think it is better for a photographer(not a vlogger)? And do you use viewfinder ?

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! I think A6400 is a great camera but haven't been hands on with the other one you mentioned

[@o.c.2470]

Awesome! Question why did you start off with iso 200

[@pentagramyt417]

One question, is this set up you used, a lot better than Nikon B700 for nature photography? My small hobby are trees, nature itself, and macro shots [flowers, bees, some water drops on leafs etc.], also sunrise and sunsets :) What would you recommend me for that? I thought iPhone 14 Pro would be a deal-deal like overall quality and mobility for small hobby, but when I saw this video, if that would fit into my area of shooting, then I go for it! :D But please tell me that 100% crop into photo is crisp and very sharp... I've had B700 and brother, my all photos landed in trash can cause when I was cropping the photo, I was crying :|

[@Mikeis_Michael]

Great photos! What mode were you shooting in?

[@Nick-lx7mb]

Thanks Curtis! Nice vid once again. I like your commentary and also that you share your pic's with exif data and both unedited and edited! keep up the good work! What is actually the reason that you took the a6400 instead of A7?

[@CurtisPadley]

Eyy thanks Nick! I have been to Manchester before using A7RIV so thought I'd mix it up a bit 💪

[@whereisjohnnow]

does the 85mm mounted on A6400 give you FOV of 85mm or 127.5 (85x1.5)? I shot with a Sigma 24-70mm and Sigma 18-50mm at 50mm. Both shots came out identical FOV. I am confused.

[@michaelkanger1355]

Great video. I'm a beginner, are you changing the shutters speed manually on each picture or are you using a preset on the dial?

Awesome photos there! I'm thinking about getting this camera or the A6500, but unsure. I do car photography and cinematography and I am in need of an upgrade but just can't fully decide on one haha

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! I have made a video about the A6400 I'll link it here! I speak about why I chose the A6400 over the A6500 but if I was in your situation I'd be pushed more towards the A6500 as it has IBIS If I remember correctly and if you do any handheld video it will make the world of difference! Hope that helps! 🤙kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInae6KVh6asjck

[@muhammadmuhiddin1049]

hello idk if you still reply on the comment but i hv question. 1. how do u adapt and get the right exposure when shoot photo? because when i watch ur video, i noticed you fix the aperture and iso. 2. if u go to the place with low light, how u want to get good exposure, did u just play with shutter speed.l and how abt the moving object? 3. did i need to zoom in when take photo? bcs when i do that i noticed that the min aperture reduce? really appreciate if u can answer it... still learning using a camera

Great POV of my hometown. Just a quick question I’ve recently bought the same lense for my a6400 - (no longer buying APSC lenses as I’m hoping to move to FF after Xmas) However I tried this lense on my a6400 and it won’t allow me to change the Aperture on the camera in Aperture priority mode, only by the ring on the lense - regardless of the lock switch. Is this by design or do I have a faulty lense? Thanks in advance.
