Landscape photographer tries street photography

[@TonyHogrefe]

The 1st person POV with narration is definitely something you should do more often. This was enjoyable.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Noted! Thanks Tony 🙏🏻👍🏼

[@Rhinoskin62]

Good to see a landscape photographer showing another side.

[@elithunder]

Street photography has a romance to it that's like no other. You definitely have to be on top of your game. There's a "thrill of the hunt" feel to it as you're searching for candid moments, especially with people doing predictable, yet unpredictable things. I'm always at home in landscapes, but street photography has captured my heart more and more over the years.

[@jonstout7635]

😎👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You did great. You have an eye for it, so use that gift along with your landscape adventures. Popsys is inspiring.

[@pascalthiebaud]

Love the ones at 17:42 ant 17:50. Street photography is more difficult than nature, I think. It's not just photographing people, you have to take care about a lot of parameters and react very quickly. I'm always struggling a lot, but it's a good way to do something else to wash the brain. Nice morning walk, the best time for me in a city, then run away into the landscape 😆. Thanks Henri

[@chingymofo1]

As someone that does and consumes street photography/still life more than landscape, you are pretty good at this style and I really like some of the photos you got here

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Just seen this mate, love it! Looks like I’ll have to add Tenerife to the list 🙂

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Ah thanks mate! Yes I would definitely recommend. Thanks again for the inspiration 🙏🏻👍🏼

[@thatsamshow]

I tell you one thing, doing this type of photography makes you incredibly observant. You're always looking, always trying to find quaint scenes, candid moments, etc. You tend to notice everything going on around you, shapes, shadows, light, and interesting scenes. Even if you mainly practice landscape photography, trying out street photography can really make you slow down and "see more"-a skill that any photographer could benefit from. Heck, any human could benefit from it due to the modern world seemingly always in a rush!

[@iwasapirateonce1639]

Those doors are works of art and you can tell the people who made them put a lot of effort into making them beautiful. It's really nice and refreshing too see them captured on photo, almost therapeutic.

[@jimgraves4197]

Street Photography is probably the easiest to get into, but the hardest to master. Some people spend years trying it and others pick it up like it's nothing. It really does boost your observational skills every time you go out with your camera

[@dennismwallentin296]

Enjoyable to see that you challenge yourself by getting out of the comfort zone 😊

[@scotty4418]

You captured some nice images there Henry especially all the ones with the doors and the people shots. I agree with your comment about being inspired by other genres. My main stay is architecture but I’m inspired by people like yourself who pursue landscape photography and I love seeing the work of great Street and Astrophotographers too as when I try it myself it elevates my appreciation of your skill even higher. Hope the latest Scotland trip is going well and look forward to see the outcome of it soon

[@johnstephenson3098]

For me street photography is so much more impactful in black and white with high contrast scenes. It is definitely an art and not an easy skill to master. Timing is everything.

[@Stracman]

Loving that Henry! It gives us more of a flavour of the place you’re visiting. More “Popstreet” photography for us please

[@kevinburke6446]

Well, that's a change up for you. Helps to keep your photography juices flowing.

[@stumtb1198]

Really enjoyed this weeks video and liked the POV style of filming. Some great photos and nice to see you trying a different genre. I never knew an overflowing bin could be so photogenic.

[@dianebouchard5691]

Shooting for the shear pleasure of it and not trying to analyze why you were drawn to capturing specific scenes. Great way to escape from the daily struggles, and you captured good shots in the process! Good lesson and video. Thanks

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

That was well cool. When I go back home (south of France) I always take pictures of the different doors and wooden shutters in the villages. So special. How funny is that, when you took that picture at the beginning I thought 'James's style' and you said it just as the same time I was thinking it. Excellent. In the streets with high contrast, may be try to play with the people's shadow of people on different ground texture.

[@christophergodfrey3009]

This is a great video and nice to see you do it. Definitely think you should do more of these

[@marycarron5118]

I think working by instinct is the way to go in those scenarios. You got some really unique images that you might not have captured if you were working by some street photography 'formula'. You prove that a good photographer will take good photos anywhere. Glad you enjoyed the change, Henry. I would love to see more videos like this, and your commentary is always so helpful.

[@JanetTurner-ff6zk]

Henry, when I lived in Germany I saw a poster with doors on it, four across and five down. You could do that, you've got some great door shots.

[@geofffield7805]

Really enjoyed your walking commentary, Henry. It’s good to be out of your comfort zone. Sometimes it’s good to sit, watch and let people walk into your shot.

[@AllThingsOcean]

I used to love just grabbing my camera early in the morning and just going all over the city for the day, taking pictures of whatever caught my eye. Going with no vision or plan can be the most fun sometimes!

[@RussellMcNeil-g6o]

Love watching this! I appreciate your picture-taking intellectual analysis - I also enjoy James Popsys. Your work is a remarkable blend of subjective psychological, and objective camera-centric information, producing a blend of the art and science of picture taking. Great use of video to let us see your image choices and your "instinctive" photographic reactions.

[@MrPhotoman007]

I think Landscape photography to urban landscape is always great just for a change. And I think that your enthusiasm is what keeps people glued to your channel, and I think people just like to follow along with you. Whatever photography you try out, it's nice just to see how you go through the process of changing between genres. Well done mate.👍

[@pierremaxted214]

Great video Henry. The north side of Tenerife has such a different feel to the tourist traps in the south. You have really captured the feel of the place with these photos.

[@trevorsneath4665]

Love these photographs, Henry. Seems your eye is fine for street photography. If there's an advantage to street photography in your own town, it's seeing how the shadows change across the seasons so you can plan positions.

[@FierceSleepingDog]

I try to do photo walks like this. Fun and therapeutic.

[@michaelhurley8958]

Always good to try something new and to learn something new. That's how we grow as photographers.

[@robgutkowski7141]

Good on you for trying a different style, I am glad you took us along on your adventure! With "street" photography, it's not so much "right or wrong", more like "good and better". By taking in the shape and light of your environment, then taking notice of the people in that environment, the human interest provides the human connection that makes street photography so captivating. It's good to a walk around a bit and get the lay of the land, but often I find that waiting in one place for a person or group to move into the preferable spot in your composition, or to make a certain motion that really makes the picture just right, like the man smoking. There is a lot of value in waiting in one place, really seeing the activity and the location, like the tourists talking with the painter set up in the plaza, or the runner whose long shadow preceded him as he came towards you. Another idea is to get lower or higher than eye level, as when the two dogs met in the street, or the lone dog barking while the people talked to each other. The theme of colorful doors is a good one, too.

[@paulclark7664]

Blast of fresh air , Henry ! Liked a lot of the shots esp the houses ! Suprised you missed the chance of the Graffiti on the wall !! I would have incorporated that ! The light looked good and I really liked the low contrast ! Brilliant ! More please ! 😊

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Nice one thanks for the comment!!

[@BenjaminWhite66212]

Love your adventurous spirit and enthusiasm. Yes, good travel/street pictures. For street photo focus. Use a the smallest aperture largest f/ number for the light and situation. When using a wider focal length the depth of field is quite large. Focus on the expected distance of you person or subject. Then just point and shoot can give decent results in most situations without stopping to focus.

[@johnearl2303]

A great video so different to your usual ones, nice to see you out of your ‘comfort’ zone, something we should all do from time to time.

[@guycl2381]

Loved it. James Popsys but also some Nick Carver ... :-) Kind regards, Guy.

[@lindaholtphotography]

l love the door and the window with all the plants around it,....

[@rogerwalton8160]

After more years as a landscape photographer than I care to count I'm now almost exclusively a street photographer. This is a great video of just how it feels to be out and about with a camera.

[@gyundoanyumer1800]

Hi Henry. Great video and inspiration for those of us who don’t live close to national parks and can’t travel to nice landscape locations often. We want to see videos of this kind as well.

[@wendynewing8834]

This was thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

[@derrickm9808]

Landscape photos are great and it's also great to do other photography too for contrast and not possibly get burned out on one thing, good job Henry , I like those textured side light door way shots.

[@susansurgey]

Wow that was different, and fun! Would love to see you do Lancaster like that 🤩

[@phileo_ss]

Nice to see professional photographers trying different approaches to what they are used to.

[@tommyvonknorring715]

I really like both of you. You and James are so inspiring! 🌞🌞🌞

[@dannymacamaturephotographe6352]

Henry I loved that video. I always struggle with street/people photography. but as always you inspire me to keep trying.

[@sdegio70]

Yes, enjoying this video. Plus do more :), also in boring places and overcast days, those are the challenges we face :D

[@johnw7265]

Enjoyed this video. Nice change of pace for you and very well done.Very nice photos. My wife and I do street photography when we travel especially in Europe. We also like to photograph the inside of museums, cathedrals, monasteries, etc

[@benbentley26]

I've really enjoyed this video. A change of scenery,

[@jamie555red]

Great video. As a landscape photographer myself, with a huge passion for street photography, I can totally relate to the "what do I shoot" and "there must be a better way to focus" part of this. Would love to see more of these videos please!

[@rickmower1136]

Inspires me to get out of my comfort zone. More of this style with your normal videos please.

[@john.m.peterson]

You’re a natural Henry, just follow your instinct as you said. I find you have a very good eye for street and urban photography, well done!

[@wylie_photo]

Nice work, street photography is a lot of fun. I tend to do both street and landscape photography. It's a nice balance that works well for me as I like being around people, but also being away from them at different times!

[@timschaeffer8874]

I thoroughly enjoyed these street shots. Not to lessen the impact of your iconic landscape photos, these at-the-moment candid street shots are fresh and fun. I think you've got a good thing going here, Henry! Consider how you would utilize this style once or twice a month. Imagine the locations and people you could introduce to us. 👍

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Many thanks!

[@russwillis9287]

Hey Henry, I'm loving the street photography and and I'm quite envious of where you are, I think you should give it a go when you go back home. Great photos and a great video!

[@johnbyrne444]

Always good to try something different.

[@sandrariggins6690]

Really enjoyed this and your banter and spontaneity...always good to keep it fresh by using your skills in a new environment and style.

[@andypotts8062]

An absolutely brilliant video..well done Henry on your venture into street photography..I loved every photo...this is the sort of thing I would do on holiday....l don't normally do street photography in my local town except on the day there is a busking festival which is street photography gold lol. Many many thanks for a superb video.

[@FrancisBrooks-ob2ny]

Henry your compositional skills as a landscape photographer have transferred very well to urban photography. Excellent output. Do more of it and enjoy. I’ve been a landscape photographer most of my working life but since COVID and older age I’ve gravitated to street and street portraiture and I love it. I’m sure you will too.

[@iotninja]

Henry, this was very enjoyable tour, but I cannot wait for your photos from El Teide National Park. Just came from Tenetife and still processing those majestic moments above the clouds. And if you are enjoying street photography - head to La Orotava. It is incredible town for street photography, but you'll need wide lens there

[@acjones225]

Great video , thanks for putting that out. And the time in. What I got from that is , time out with the camera , catching those images you see in your mind everywhere you walk round

[@manueldinisphotography]

Good Job! always good to practice something different, I really like the front of the houses.

[@roberttaylor1021]

I've tried this when on holiday in the Canaries. I'm a bit self conscious of photographing people but I do like it. As you say, a different world to landscapes. I've got a Lumix GX-9 and the 12-60mm lens and a 9mm lens specially for this type of photography. I've never very tried the art settings though.

[@JonoRob]

Street is so difficult, you have to be quite brave. Nice shots.

[@danielhenzphotography]

I think if you have the eye for photography, you can make great photos in different genres anyway.

[@nolawernicke9078]

Wow Henry, never thought I'd see you do some street photography, that one with the green door and peeling cream paint was great. 😊

[@JustinCooperPhotography]

Absolutely love this mate, fantastic!! I switch between landscape and street photography regularly and it keeps my enjoyment fresh in photography

[@ullybleil]

This POV video was really well done Henry! I agree with what a lot of the others said. Do more!!!

[@julianpaxton5750]

Nice change of pace Henry. I like the doors.

[@desgardner7169]

Nice one Henry, just doing what we all like to do on holiday just walking the streets and taking anything that catches the eye, not copying anybody else's style just doing your own thing well done lad! and thank you for sharing...enjoy your holiday....

[@garethroberts1389]

I really enjoyed this video. It's the sort of thing I love to do when travelling. I also use the Olympus micro four thirds system for this sort of thing.

[@lyndapassey2752]

Great to see you doing some street photography Henry. Just wondering how people cope with sunglasses and getting the exposure right. Any tips welcome.

[@GJuve1]

Glad to see you enjoying the street photography so much Henry! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@richardOracleDBA]

A nice change from your usual landscape videos 😀

[@donaldstewart3799]

Great video as I only do landscape and wildlife photography were the subject can’t shout back at you don’t take my picture. Being a shy person would worry me but well done some great pics. Always look forward to your videos.

[@grahampickup9348]

Nice change and a very chilled video. Loved the door shots. A set framed along your hallway would look great.

[@robertdavis1255]

Very interesting Henry.... different from your usual videos......I enjoy seeing street photography in different towns/places around the world....yes enjoyment is the key word & you captured the mood.... great video... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😀

[@kevinw62]

Nice one Henry. I really enjoyed that. Also, take a look at Roman Fox for street photography. Similar to James P but with his own style too.

[@agarriga]

I enjoyed this video. It's a nice change of pace.

[@Paul-vy1ev]

Love this video henry, great see you doing some street photography. Your home town is like many holiday towns back in day this when people didnt travel abroad these places was were packed. Unfortunately now they are like a ghost towns. But on the upside you live by the ⛱️ and the sea. Im jealous. I love wales especially places like aberystwyth which are still busy and have beautiful coastline and ocourse not far from good waterfall. 😊

[@badgerlandcouk]

Great to see a photographer try out a new genre. Like others have said, photographing people in the street can be a tricky task based on keen observation and great timing. Good to hear your thoughts as you walked through the various scenes too. Sort of reminds me that, with summer on the way here in the UK, I need to get to Blackpool promenade and the Golden Mile to see what people are up to round there.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot

[@lead-dog]

Very inspiring Henry. Thanks.

[@scothowe539]

This was a nice change of pace. Enjoyed it.

[@MichaelJones-fv8rp]

Hi Henry, this is unusual for, street photography, I like it very good. It gives you a different mind set. Try some night time shooting Henry it's even better. Enjoy! Good luck.

[@lisajoseph5817]

Look at you, jumping genres like a BOSS. I've always ascribed to the idea that if something's interesting, I'll point my camera at it. With that in mind, as well as a determination to up my skill-set over the past year or two, I did a tour at Yellowstone National Park last week and I am absolutely buzzing over the results: landscapes, wildlife (close up and at extreme ranges), trusting my camera to get something when the wind decided that steam from geothermal features should get in my way, aperture priority, shutter priority, full manual, snow, mist, you name it, I was able to flow with it and come home with images that I am really pleased with. Specialization is ok, I guess, but trying different things is really a great way to grow your skills. Besides, it's FUN!

[@DanielAebi]

Thats really a great and entertaining video! I love your view of the street. I definitely want to see more!

[@trishf29]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Henry! A very different one from you, and it was wonderful to see you doing a bit of street photography. I went crazy over doors too, in France! And window boxes! And old house fronts! So you are not alone, they make wonderful subjects. As for people, shyness tends to stop me, however, am learning to shoot from the hip, as they say. Pity some of the Oly cameras don‘t have a tilt screen, handy for street - but the OM-D EM-10 iv does, and it‘s just the same as the EM5iii, but smaller still. I have one, and use it occasionally if out and about as it’s easy to handle. Take a look at Alan Schaller‘s videos - he uses a Leica. He has one on how to shoot from the hip and mentions how he practiced. Carries the camera on a neck strap as is easy to shoot without looking through the EVF.

[@mikkiscott9995]

You inspired me to want to try street photography. Great video, Henry!

[@stephenrogers1480]

I liked the front shot of the old motorhome , the building with the peeling facade and the other building with the plants outside best of all. Possibly some of the people shots might be worth checking out as black and white images? I always get a bit nervous if I'm obviously taking photographs of people when I'm out and about, you seemed very comfortable with it though. Good to to try something different though, eh!

[@mvo5720]

Nice video, and some great shots, very interesting. My son is into street photography but it's not something I've ever aspired to. I thought more people would have queried you taking their photo's but there you go, shows what little i know about it.😀🍷

[@johndurham5629]

Great job Henry! Way to step out of your comfort zone.😊

[@darrenquigley182]

Urban landscapes, excellent ,great to see the deferent perspectives.

[@andybusard6694]

Loved the doors!

[@kevinmoore49]

That was unexpected Henry you got some great shots, i do more street photography than any other type and it does make you think about your surroundings and people.

[@philipperaevens5820]

To solve the focus problem in street photography, set it to manual focus, set your distance to 3m. and f8 with a minimum shutter speed of 1/500 and auto iso. In 90% always right.

[@hungaryspring]

I wondered when someone was going to tell Henry about zone focusing...great tool, works like a charm.

[@timmieboy37]

Loving this Henry. And the shout out to James Popsys, spot on!

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Enjoyed the video as usual mate. Street photography is not something i do, but when I am on holiday i will photograph some of the image's that you took but i don't do people. You captured some really nice image's though. Look forward to the next one.

[@stephenconnor9083]

Enjoyed this weeks adventure, it was a nice change.

[@jimmywestphoto]

I love just taking my OM5 with me when going out on the streets cause It's so small and handy. I usually shoot JPEG at those times when I ujst want a snapshot and unplanned stuff and RAW for more planned shoots.

[@IanMowbray-b6j]

Really enjoyed this one. The refreshing approach to something outside your norm was great and I am so glad it is not just me that thinks continental doors are wonderful subjects for photographers.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RydersHIS]

Outstanding Mate!!

[@paulgreening7387]

Doors and door knockers …..got hundreds from Rome and Malta….. gets you in😀

[@michaelneild5133]

VERY INTERESTING VIDEO!!! I HAD TO LOOK UP WHERE TENERIFE IS! THE PICTURES OF THE DOORS ARE QUITE GOOD! I LIKED THE ONE WITH THE BAG HANGING FROM IT!!!! THIS PERSPECTIVE GAVE ME A NEW VIEW OF ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY! VERY ENJOYABLE!
