Street Photography - but with a slow shutter speed

[@FTrovatten]

Loved creating this video and hope you enjoy it! This is the ND filter I use: geni.us/NDFilter1.

[@artivism4068]

You are probably the best street photographer on KZbin. I can feel the experience youre having while youre taking it in ways I dont feel from others. The music helps. Its a great feeling to experiment, trial and error for the right slower shutter speed on the street. I hope you keep doing it. Thanks for the advice on getting a pro camera app.

[@RichardJemmett]

So few cameras have a built-in ND filter - one of the reasons why I like the Canon G12.

[@kevinsim1514]

I think the main appeal of slow shutter speed photography is that this is where my kit lens can shine!

[@lesterclydepangilinan]

hahahahahah FACT

[@doodlenov]

cam you please explain why? Im new to photography

[@joshuabaldassarre]

​@@doodlenov a slightly technical explanation: the exposure triangle relies on shutter speed, iso, and aperture for the exposure of your image. Aperture being the one part of the exposure triangle determined by your lens. Generally kit lenses (the lenses that come with a camera in a starter kit) have weak aperture performance and would require you to shoot at a higher iso, or slower shutter speed, to get the correct exposure for the image. I hope this helped you understand!

[@doodlenov]

@@joshuabaldassarre thank you !

[@thebenedit]

Really loved this style of photo, especially in black and white.

[@jjaazzee]

2:32 this photograph is phenomenal, you inspired me to try this out tomorrow!

[@FTrovatten]

Glad to hear! Thank you!

[@zeragon7]

I really liked that one too.

[@DrJorgeReynal]

Agreed. The best shot.

[@MarkaustinHasler]

Frederik, I absolutely love your videos and mostly your photography. You make me want to head straight outside and take photos. Absolutely beautiful photo's here. I actually loved the colour one of the girl with the red lipstick.

[@FTrovatten]

Means a lot and thanks for taking the time to write that. I think the color version is one of the best photographs I’ve taken in long - I agree :)!

[@jztouch]

That was my favorite as well, both in color and black and white. Very nice photograph.

[@EricTheSwede]

That photo at 2:32 instantly took me to a traveling journalist on the streets of Vietnam in the 60s. What an absolutely lovely shot! It's wild that I got that feel of it way before I noticed the "HANOI" tag or heard you mention Vietnam..

[@brahmtaylor]

not only is your content inspiring and I learn so much, but also your presence as a person in your video's is so kind and curious, open and heart filled! Love your work!

[@FTrovatten]

Means a lot!

[@vaqrEmiX]

Wonderful, your explanation is easy understanding! You have made street photography fun and interesting. ❤❤❤

[@nicholasfeeney525]

Some great photos throughout. I kept thinking of Wan Kar-wai films :)

[@thecaveofthedead]

Very cool video. Definitely one to keep in the back of the mind. The end results really did remind me of 1960s modernist photography and '60s photojournalism.

[@Dvle_le]

From Vietnam, and I am also a photographer, too. I love all the photos you took! They are really give the mood.

[@patrickispeppa]

I love the results and the overall video! Especially the music, the mood and in-depth explanations are fantastic!

[@FTrovatten]

Appreciate it a lot!

[@damsjs6866]

Just awesome Frederik. Thank you for this and all your other videos. I eagerly await each one you make. Your vision, ideas, and enthusiasm in the street are truly motivating and educational. Great work.

[@photohp2202]

one of your best videos ever … great idea and inspiring explainations … well done!

[@FTrovatten]

Love to hear it! Thank you!

[@AgustinDavidF]

Movement, blurriness and motion are part of life, something, that in modern times, we tend to forget. Beautiful photos

[@stewartpriceMOTO]

SUPER awesome photos man! Do more of that because it’s so much more expressive and candid. It’s like the old French masters. Love it.

[@pausisisugalde5104]

I'm new in photography and you have inspired me to try new things, thanks you! Thank you for explaining your "technical" process and feedback. You're the only one that does it and is a blessing!

[@michaelscheller]

amazing video and great reflection in the end. Slow shutter speeds add so much character to a photo

[@ryanyong1235]

Thanks for sharing! Really inspiring and awesome technique to try for myself soon!

[@ianmoulson2121]

great video as always. the woman with the hat was amazing what a good sport

[@vaqrEmiX]

Love that hat!

[@sergiwalker]

Great experience! Love it!

[@philipogunbona8602]

Frederik, you are a true artist! Always pushing the boundaries. Thank you for another brain teaser!

[@JonLloyd65]

This is awesome! I love these photos. This is what I am trying next. I can see this type of photo on my wall! Thanks heaps!

[@andresaintlouis5523]

This was a super inspiring video for me. I’ve been out trying to utilize the technique… it can be very challenging to fill the screen like you did. Thanks for sharing

[@cafeglobulot]

The photos are beautiful. They have an organic, film vibe.

[@curiousabout1]

I really enjoyed this video, your passion is clear and contagious! Though I can't use all of the information you provide as I shoot exclusively on a mobile phone, you do share a lot of general knowledge that is very appreciated. It's also great that you take us with you out onto the street, I think seeing the context and how you see the moment is incredibly valuable for understanding. Looking forward to more from you!

[@MarcoLabruna14]

these shots are absolutely awesome man, very inspiring

[@GJSsongsmith]

What a great video Frederick , many thanks , very inspiring ! I think I’m one of the few photographers who comments on your X feed too !

[@FTrovatten]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I see you :)! I’ll be more active there with bts stuff and so should more photographers :)

[@DelusionalNYC]

Thank you for taking the time to talk through your technique and learnings - so helpful! Great video.

[@remembershooting2064]

Beautiful shots and you made me excited to try out this technique ASAP!

[@benoittouche8691]

Excellent video, thanks. Many very good tips

[@72specialk]

Great video Frederik, by far the best one yet 🙂 Good job!!!!

[@zacharyf.9936]

Love this Frederik, great ideas and thanks for always showing the shutter speeds on each photo.

[@FTrovatten]

Glad to hear that’s appreciated and not a waste of time hah!

[@webcss]

Thank you. I really love the look of these your fotos. I take alot panning shots like this as well, i just like the look. Regarding elektronic vs mechanical shutter: on my a6400 subjects are sometimes distorted when using electronic shutter, this is due to the way the sensor is read out. Another thing that can be helpful is to utilize trackingfocus to lock in on your "target" before the fact. Again, thanks for your great video(s) and images Clemens

[@MasterOfBasses]

As a video editor, I can say I've heard this music track 1,000 times lol (it is indeed one of the best out there)

[@kevinsim1514]

Hello Master Video Editor Sir, where does one find all these cool chillhop music for these street photography KZbin videos?

[@julmaass]

these are great. will try this! (I sometimes forget I bought an ND filter precisely for this purpose)

[@user-mr6qu8jr3i]

The woman you asked to walk towards you with her hat on is stunning, and I loved the pictures you took of her. I really enjoyed this video. I'm going to try the slow shutter speed myself.

[@Cybercygni]

Love this kind of pictures. Doing it a lot of myself

[@danielturan]

The shot /frame at 08:06 is so beautiful! Really love this series! Well done! 👏👏

[@FTrovatten]

Appreciate it Daniel!

[@vngas7]

I love this style of photographs, I have taken some and I am very happy with them. I feel like they look a lot like painting.

[@shyamalganguly3598]

It's requires a lot of practice to nail subjects you want to focus! I tried this technique and nailed only one in six or seven shots and all of the shots were made on film and perfected on two or four occasions in a single day photo shoot! All on Kodak 100asa daylight color film! You don't have to use too low shutter speed to get substantial amount of blur around the focused subject; only that you need some more light to use higher shutter-speed even 1/125th of a second could bring out a wonderful blur behind the subject! I made them shoot with a 50mm f/1.2 lens at around 8am in the morning with 1/125sec or 1/60sec shutter speed and quite successful in getting a few blurry shots! The larger brust with electronic shutter may give you as many shots as aplenty, you don't require, and you may end up with a clear picture instead of blur because the subject hasn't showed much movement in each frame with respect to the burst speed (maybe slower)! You tend to halt the subject in between shots while on burst giving the subject and the other objects stand almost still with the least possibility of motion blur you want! And the electronic shutter with high speed make the SD card full sooner in making fewer shots in comparison to slower burst rate prompting you to change the card! Wide angle lenses are advantageous to capture the subject while moving the camera horizontally like on a tripod because of the wider area of coverage crams in more objects to be blurred and gives you more space for your subject to go across the wide frame! Prime lenses like 16mm to about 35mm lenses give you 24mm to 52mm full frame coverage! When on a trolley, like your roller skates, or from a open hood vehicle could be used for a pronounced effect of blurry objects but the subject, moving at the same speed with the camera! Fast lenses are specially helpful in low light situations!

[@mintran2244]

I’ve never seen Hue in such a vibe like these, really inspirating and worth of doing so. Hope to see more of your works. I really love its

[@Celephais471]

Very informative video, and your photos are so good. I will come back to this video every time I go out to shoot

[@cintam]

This technique is awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'll definitely try it as soon as I walk down the street this week.

[@rsimko]

Same as your Thailand videos, these bring back so many memories. I visited Hue over 10 years ago and I loved the place. Great content.

[@noremacbeez]

6:07 is my pick! Gorgeous!!

[@tim_means_heart]

Great exercise! I've always found it daunting since I often shoot concerts but this video convinced me to give it a try

[@zeragon7]

I do stand-up comedy, and when I go to the club further from my house (30 minute drive or so), I like to spend a little time before or after the mic doing some night street photography. Since this idea involves slow shutter speeds and slow shutter speeds lend well to low light since you can capture more light, I think I might try this out next time. Such a cool idea and some really neat photos came from the process. Subscribed and liked. :)

[@davidventura1424]

Nice shots‼️

[@shutterbucks]

Thanks! I learned some ideas on the slow shutter. Will try those soon❤

[@taterandy3958]

I see a future photo 😊 zine/book called 1/10 coming soon !! Great ideas and beautiful photos especially the one girl with the hat!!

Frederik, this is such a great video, thank you for this. I want to try this so bad right now 😌 And I don't find it absolutely not boring, in the opposite way even.

[@chrisharrison9500]

One of your best yet! You inspired me to try this today - man its hard! I nailed focus a couple of times and i do like a few of the shots i got but definitely needs more practice.

Can’t wait to watch this one!!

[@FTrovatten]

This technique could be use for photographing movement!

[@MobilityForFighting]

@@FTrovatten 👀

[@manikarnika7750]

Obviously this is not new. It is called scanning or sweeping and it is being used more often by news photographers in the last few years since IBIS and auto focus has improved. The trick is finding a situation where the blur achieves some visual purpose in isolating the detail.

[@ico.oliveira]

After showing the colored one, made me curious to see some other of these in color as well. AS always, great video, great art.

[@SourPlanet]

This video must be so eye-opening for many photographers. There are a lot of sneaky revelations here. The idea of limiting shake by using lager muscle groups, seeing the comparison of gopro vs cropped longer lens in the actual shot moment, the effect of grain over motion blur, etc. For someone who's used to just typical street techniques, this is all very new. Awesome job opening up people's worlds. Personally, I'm definitely on manual focus for this type shooting. Since motion blur is obliterating details anyway, I don't mind gaining depth of field to make the process of range-finding plausible in exchange for ditching the haphazard nature of autofocus in this context. You also gain a bit more ISO noise, which of course looks fantastic when it hazes out motion blur into a wash of crispy cream ha. Anyway. Awesome video. It's great to have these tricks in the arsenal for when you need to bring some interest to a setting and make your own mark 🤘
