Lovely shots. The "missed shot" music took the cake though. :)

[@KarinMajoka]

Ajay Chauhan thank you! :) Trust me, it will be in your brain for quite some time hahaha

[@kevinsolie2208]

Made me laugh

[@anthonymiller8979]

Loved that part too. Will be playing in my head every time I miss a chance now.

[@graffsk8er]

I loved that you embraced your missed opportunities that way! It's funny and it also trains your eye and your reflexes to be more quickly on the streets. Subscribed!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my videos, I appreciate it! :) And yes, I am convinced it does! The GoPro footage does not only allow me to put short little videos out there into the world like this one, but truly also helps with analysing the scene and seeing where there is room to improve.

[@scottheins]

Wonderful video Karin, it's so nice to see your experience just out doing what you love!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you, I appreciate it. :)

[@TheMPhotography]

The ultra wide angle shots are amazing. Love the one at 10:10. The light is beautiful. And the "misses opportunity" sound will now stick in my head forever and play every time I miss a shot. And believe me "missed opportunities" is my 2nd nature when shooting street. So thanks for the Ohrwurm :-P but I never miss Vespa shots.

[@KarinMajoka]

The M Photography it was really fun shooting with the 15mm on the street, hope to use it more often in the future for street when it’s safer to get close. And yes, after editing that video I was almost going crazy from that music, it’s totally burned into my brain as well. Sorry I infected you - but maybe it’s a good way of classical conditioning and results in not missing any opportunities to avoid hearing the sound? 🤔

[@TheMPhotography]

@@KarinMajoka hihi, yes. So that was your secret plan. ;) Classical conditioning to help us lost in „missed opportunity“ street photographers.

[@RafaelRipollGallardo]

Just checked for "Street photography Munich" and your video came out. I enjoyed it and found the missed opportunities a good touch of humour as the regret hits hard when you edit the video and see what you missed. I felt every single one of them 😂 Also, the soft voice and, I guess, introvert personality makes the video very relatable and makes it easier to watch. It could be me trying to avoid the embarrassment of being seen trying to get the photo. In my case I guess I am way more visible, but still very relatable. I will be watching your videos as soon as I post this comment. 😄 Thank you for the video, I liked it very much!

[@kylieknight8847]

Great photos Karin. I liked the shot of the 2 sisters holding hands with their parents :) the missed shot music is hilarious btw. I wasn't expecting that🤣

[@KarinMajoka]

I like that shot as well, though I wish I would have waited for the people on the left side to be out of the frame because I think this would have isolated the four a bit more. Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment, I appreciate it! ☺️✌🏼

[@luischavezphoto]

I loved the missed opportunity bits! I think all photographers at one point or another have felt this deep inside lol

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you ⚡️ at least for me, I have a lot of missed shots every time I go out shooting and it’s a matter of practice to reduce that amount I think :)

Hey Karin! Thanks for the photowalk and the shots! I really like the “missed opportunities”. I feel this so often when I go out shooting. In these moments it says “click” in my head, mimicking the sound of a shutter that actually didn’t fire because I’ve missed the moment. I like the honesty in your video. By the way, you took some really nice shots!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you Axel, I really appreciate it! And I totally know what you mean - in situations where I don't have my camera with me I totally do the same. Honesty is truly what I am going for, I am neither a pro nor an expert but just a girl who likes to go out and shoot films. I am learning and practicing every time I go out and don't want to "educate" people but much rather share my experiences, with all my successes, my mistakes, the good shots and the bad shots, so I am glad that people recognise the honesty I am going for.

[@jaeAre200]

Finally!! Seeing that superwide on the streets. And wow it is...super-wide hahaha. I thought it would give a cool distorted look, but it just captures the ENTIRE scene, no matter how closer you were. Very interesting. You know it's wide when it makes your gopro footage narrow haha.

[@KarinMajoka]

Hahaha, so true about making the GoPro footage narrow, I thought the same! And even in situations where I was uncomfortably close and very in-your-face-with my camera on the images it still felt like being far away. Much like how you described shooting with a 28 in your "best roll" video.

Ein sehr inspirierendes Video! Ich war am Wochenende erst mit einer Kamera in München, hatte aber Dein Video zuvor noch nicht gesehen... sonst wären da sicher noch mehr gegangen als meine 27 Fotos von 36. Ich hab gleich mal ein Abo dagelassen, hier und bei Instagram. Super entspannend, Dir beim Fotografieren zuzusehen und wirklich herausragend gute Fotos! Du hast echt Talent, vor allem "aus der Hüfte", die meisten dieser Fotos sitzen einfach perfekt! Mach weiter so! ✌🏼

@@KarinMajoka Sehr gerne! München hat mir sehr gut gefallen zum Fotografieren. In München selbst war ich schon oft, ist nur etwa eine Stunde von mir Zuhause entfernt. Aber so direkt Street Photography hab ich zum ersten Mal jetzt mal dort probiert. Ein paar nette Motive haben sich ergeben in der Altstadt zwischen Maximilianstraße, Odeonsplatz und Marienplatz. War definitiv nicht mein letztes Mal! ✌🏼

[@JCStreet]

The ultra wide shots are definitely my faves from this video. I think most of your missed opportunities weren’t missed really, you like me wanna little too fast. There were a few times I wish you’d hung out for a minute or two longer at some of the locations you were at and a nice moment could have presented itself. Great video! Looking forward to more 👍👍

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks a lot for your comment, I really appreciate it! Now that you mentioned it I just noticed that I rarely ever stand or wait around when shooting street. I am usually constantly moving, only walking for hours. So that comment really made me think I should definitely try this more next time to stop and wait, not only for the video but also the see what happens photography-wise. Thanks! :)

[@JCStreet]

@@KarinMajoka took me ages and ages to figure this out myself! I used to run and gun, but I find myself being a bit more considered. Was totally FOMO’d like I’d miss some amazing moment if I didn’t keep walking, striking a balance is key. Love the channel, very keen to pick up an M6 one day 👍👍

I often look through the viewfinder but not always. And I isr zone focusing, so I usually measure the distance and pre-focus before putting the camera to my eye

Great video💥💥

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you :)

[@marxoniomizu]

Great Pov. The shoots you took surely make up for the missed ones. I really like the Candy400 look and think that missed opportunity V was more like "too slow". Missed opprtunity I was propably the saddest to miss. I guess walking around with a GoPro constantly filming is not too good if you see all the missed opportunies, that you normally wouldn't even have noticed. Thanks for sharing.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you! Yes, me too, I wish I would have caught that pirouette - I think you can see my hand twitching, but I was just tooooo slow haha. I think there are both sides to it, of course will be reminded what cool shots you might have missed. But on the other hand I think it's a good training to see where there is room to improve and to re-evaluate what the reasons for missing a shot were.

[@erichartke4331]

I really enjoyed your the format of your video it was refreshing. I have some Street Candy I really should shoot I really like your results.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you! Have fun shooting, it surely is a cool film that gives a bit of a different look.

[@DonFather]

Nice work. 15mm is a breath of fresh air. Nice look, but you were right, probably best for subjects within 6 feet or so. Subbed. Keep it up. Stay safe.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks a lot for your comment, I appreciate it! I actually enjoyed shooting that wide on the street and think there is some potential behind it - so maybe more of this after we (hopefully...) finally conquered that pandemic and it's okay to get close again.

[@byfoul8743]

15mm is spectacular, you do it so well

[@KarinMajoka]

It's a focal length you surely have to get used to, but I like to experiment with something that wide. Thank you! :)

[@digitaldion]

Stunning pictures. The 15mm is surprisingly sharp without too much bending on the edge of the frame. Und es war toll zu hören, dass Sie Deutsch sprechen.

[@KarinMajoka]

Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar! :) Yes, I think it is not all that "fish-eye-y" compared to a lot of other wide angle lenses.

[@PhilKnall]

You're right about having to be close, but I loved those wideangle captures a lot! Possibly more than the 35mm...

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you, Phil! 35mm feels more comfortable but I agree that there is something to the wide angle shots. Hope there will soon be times where it's a bit safer to get close again, because I would love to experiment a bit more with the 15mm on the streets. How do you like your wide angle for the Mamiya btw? 😬

[@sebeur17ify]

@@KarinMajoka thanks! Let me know what I can improve? 😁

[@normandong4479]

Karin, nice work on street photos in Munich. Photos were quite sharp with clear contrast, something you would expect with Leitz lenses. Hence, their premium value even used. Notice this part of city is entirely paved with even lighting, and there is little shade and no green spaces that would add a bit of variety. Am sure there must be parks with sitting areas that would soften the overall look vs pavement and stone facades. Think in this particular urban setting, people seem more formal vs catching images or human interest when people are resting or sharing company. Amazing what a good camera can do, along with the right processing of B&W film. Nicely done.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your thoughts Norman, I appreciate it! Just one note: I am not using Leitz glass but I am in fact using a Voigtländer Color Skopar, which is still a pretty amazing little lens. :)

[@normandong4479]

@@KarinMajoka Karin, your videos are fun to watch and informative. I have a late model Leica M3 with a Leitz Elmer 50mm f2.8 collapsible lens. The M3 doesn’t have a light meter but is considered once of the best designed rangefinder cams around and is considered by some to be a classic. For metering, I use a hand-held Gossen Pilot light meter, which after some practice, isn’t that slow. Leica cameras are generally considered a premium brand, and even used they sell for much higher prices. I am still looking for an “affordable” 50mm M mount Summicron f2.0 lens, there is nothing less than $1,000. Most are being sold by collectors/users in Japan, which is a good source for used gear. People there tend to take very good care of their equipment. I also use a Pentax Spotmatic SPII (the Asahi Pentax story is remarkable), and the Spotmatic debuted in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The Takumar 50mm f1.4 lens they made is considered one of the best prime lenses. I just acquired a rebuilt Minolta SRT202 with its Rokkor 50mm f1.7 lens, and the all-metal SRT line are considered “tanks” by most photographers. Continue your shooting and enjoyment of film. It is a remarkable medium that people abandoned too soon. Be well and be safe. All the best. Norman

Wäre auf jeden Fall gut zu wissen, bin dankbar für Tipps :)

[@anthonymiller8979]

I like the look you got with the 15mm, far and extra wide just seems to fit certain scenes and I think your 15mm images look great. That said I had the 15mm as well and sold it to get the 21mm which was a good compromise. Between a 15mm and a 28mm. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. been working my way though all your content.

[@KarinMajoka]

Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to say thank you for your kind comment! :) 21mm is surely also an interesting focal length

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Fine set of shots. I love the 35mm focal length. My X100 series is 35 equivalent my Oly sp35 film cam is 40mm love these two cameras altho the Oly needs a repair so is currently in Isolation. Pretty keen to try the Bron with a roll of HP5 on the streets soon.

[@KarinMajoka]

35mm is my favorite focal length for everyday shooting as well, it’s just so versatile. How do you shoot your HP5 in your Bronica? Do you shoot box speed or do you push it? 😬

It's nice to see other places in the world with things going on... We're still eight months in on a fairly strict lockdown here in CA. I dunno what it's like in LA but here in the bay area its still a ghost town. There's a little more people out now but nothing with public crowds. I can't even imagine the level of freakout that would happen if there were that many people out in public without masks.

[@KarinMajoka]

I shot this video in September, I think the situation today here in Germany would already look rather different because the numbers went up immensely during the last week. Therefore everything is possible here as well and I suspect stricter rules and less people outside here too anytime soon. Anyway, hang in there and stay healthy! :)

[@aspacer]

Nice video, like the wide angle photo's

[@KarinMajoka]

PimK thank you! ⚡️hope there will be better times to use the wide angle on the street, where it’s okay to get „too“ close

[@EdwardIglesias]

All you "missed opportunities" made me think of one I had today. I was sitting outside at a coffee house when 3 shirtless maybe homeless guys passed about 10 feet in front of me. One was pushing a shopping cart full of random stuff and all were wearing military camouflage pants. Also, one was carrying a flag. My camera was in my backpack but by the time I thought of pulling it out they were gone.

[@KarinMajoka]

Oh wow, that sounds like an interesting scene though, thanks for sharing! I had several situations where I was not fast enough to take out my camera which is why I try to make it a habit to carry a point and shoot in the pocket of my jacket. The first missed opportunity I showed in my video was for example missed because I was drinking some water during that situation 😅

[@Meloen5]

Don't focus too hard on missed opportunities, everyone has them. Even the best will have had moments where they thought 'Damn, I should've had that on film' Focus on the shots that were made, and even more on the good shots you've made. Learn from those, and develop yourself to see 'in the future' Get a feel for certain things to happen before they do, and be ready when it does happen ;)

[@martin701]

My memory of a “missed” shot, or rather a shot I would love to have taken, was of a guy sitting at a coffee table reading a book with his terrier sat on another chair on a cushion with his paws on the table and his chin between them. It wasn’t possible sadly because I was driving a car stopped at traffic lights. Needless to say, I never saw that situation again!

[@tuisitala9068]

I liked the high contrast aspect of this film including the black shadows. I was interested in the shots with the 15mm as I am thinking about this lens versus the 21mm. These Voigtlander lenses seem really sharp!

[@KarinMajoka]

For sure, I am a huge fan of the Voigtländer lenses! I think both lenses are really great, depending on what you are looking for. 15mm is a large portion wider than the 21mm, however the 21mm might be a bit more versatile. Hope you can make a choice - pretty sure you won’t go wrong with either way!

I got the 105cm ones since I prefer a bit more length to be able to wear it cross body

[@straatmoment]

Nice "show" and like your intro, "Hi, this is me, Karin"...... :-))

[@KarinMajoka]

I realized I rarely introduce myself in my videos, so I thought it would be time to use my name more often. And thank you! :)

[@paullichte]

Echt starke Bilder eingefangen! Gerade die Weitwinkel Bilder haben mich echt überrascht. Dachte irgendwie nicht, dass sich das so gut macht bei Street Fotos.

[@KarinMajoka]

Im Großen und Ganzen bin ich auch echt positiv überrascht von dem Weitwinkel für Street. Es bedarf sicherlich noch ein wenig mehr Übung meinerseits damit, aber es ist auf jeden Fall brauchbar zum streeten. Danke dir :)

[@seed157]

Wonderful video and really like your shots. I recently started doing street photography in Germany and I know they passed a law here. To be honest it scares me off now as people can, from what I hear, destroy you with their lawyers. What's your take on this? Does it make you nervous or keep you from posting online?

[@baladino]

Hi Karin. I've been slowly seeing your past videos after catching the one with your sister. At the same time, I have finally been able to afford a Leica 6. There's so many versions of it. It's either a titanium M6 or a chrome M6. Would you know which ones better ? Was there a reason you went with the titanium version ? Thank you

[@KarinMajoka]

Honestly: I don't think the paint finish is the most important criterion. I would rather see if you can find one in good condition maybe with a newer serial number. I have a video up about how I got my Leica M6 in case you are interested in that. I got the titanium one more or less by "accident" because that was the one I found locally at a store in the city where I live.

[@baladino]

@@KarinMajoka thank you 👌🏾

I have used a Leica M8 for street with 50 mm and 35 mm lenses which translate to a 70 mm full frame and 50 mm full frame approx . I love Ilford Xp2 and Portra and shoot with a Canon AE-1 but the digital Leica is very film like - most film like digital camera in my opinion. Your M6 is superb - try Zeiss 28 or Summicron 35 both wonderful on that camera ! After that just keep taking more and more and more pictures!--forget the techie stuff ! Like your photos and videos !

[@martin701]

Karin. I’m about to develop my first roll of Street Candy shot with my Leica M-A. I’m going to be interested in how it turns out but what I’m a little concerned about is how I’m going to avoid fouling it when loading it on the spiral for the Paterson tank because it seems very thin and I expect it to be fiddly. Do you develop your own film and, if so, any thoughts?

[@KarinMajoka]

Hey Martin, hope your development went well! Yes, I develop on my own, I also developed this roll of Street Candy in Xtol (1+1 dilution) for 12 minutes. And I agree, since the base was very thing it was fiddly, yet it did not seem like the film was easy to rip or break - it’s also worth to mention that the film does not have any running numbers around the edges so it’s also a bit tricky when scanning.

[@keyboardwarrior6890]

hey nice deine shoots schaue mir das grade auch in Minga an

[@KarinMajoka]

Sehr cool, vielen dank für deinen Kommentar. :)

[@Mikeyb0y89]

Was für eine Kamera benutzt du fürs aufnehmen der Videos?

[@KarinMajoka]

Stimmt, könnte ich eigentlich in der Videobeschreibung mal ergänzen. Für die POVs nutze ich eine GoPro Hero 8, für die anderen Videos eine Sony A7II.

[@sexysilversurfer]

My missed opportunities come more from being a scared to take the photo as I know I will be spotted! 🙈😂 on another note when did you actually take the photos as it seems very sunny and warm?

[@KarinMajoka]

Oh, same for me, same for me! Some missed opportunities come from not noticing specific things in a scene, but for me as well being scared still plays a huge roll to why I sometimes miss shots. I took those shots in September. Munich is pretty south so sometimes it's still really warm there during that time. :)

[@stefanschafer6816]

Hey Karin, trotzdem ich mich nicht so für analoge Fotografie finde ich deine Fotowalks top. Ist dein Kameragurt ein Modell von "Hyperion"? Wie zufrieden bist du damit? Überlege mir für meine Fujis zwei zu bestellen...

[@KarinMajoka]

Hey Stefan, danke dir, das freut mich! Genau, der Gurt ist von Hyperion und ich bin super zufrieden, hab sogar mehrere Gurte von denen für verschiedene Kameras. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist einfach top, die Auswahl an verschiedenen Kombinationen echt groß, er wirkt super robust und ich finde ihn sehr angenehm zu tragen. Also klare Empfehlung :)

[@stefanschafer6816]

Hi Karin, dann weiß ich das ja schon mal. Wie versenden die denn? Mit normaler Post oder Paketdienst? Wie ist die Lieferzeit?

[@KarinMajoka]

Puuuuh, das weiß ich um ehrlich zu sein nicht mehr ob normale Post oder Paket, das würde ich auf deren Internetseite nochmal nachlesen. Insgesamt dauert es schon etwas länger, da die Gurte ja nach Bestellung erst produziert werden, auch glaube so 3 Wochen dauerte es zuletzt schon.

[@peregrint6054]

Doing street photography in Germany is so special, you have to hide all the time, shoot the road and your feet while you walk, and be afraid to be caught when pointing your camera toward people)

[@JamieMPhoto]

Do you really notice much of a difference without the soft release button? I've always avoided them. I love a lot of the shots! I have a roll of Street Candy I've been waiting to use ... need to find the right moment, especially since there is no consistent opportunity for street photography in East Texas. haha. I do love their new packaging, though!

[@KarinMajoka]

Yeees, the packaging is great! Personally I find shooting with a soft release button more comfortable, I feel like I have a bit more control over the shutter button. But it’s annoying when you want to use a cable release since you obviously have to screw the button off beforehand. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts once you shot the roll! :)

[@JamieMPhoto]

@@KarinMajoka Cool, that makes sense! I will try one if/hopefully when I finally get another rangefinder/Leica style camera, especially. I'll definitely share my thoughts on the film when I'm able to finish it! I know to look for something maybe a bit moodier, now, too. 😎

[@Caballeroshot]

I miss Munich, love the video, maybe they'll allow us Americans to visit again soon.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it! Hopefully once the chaos on this globe is a bit more sorted I also hope that traveling will be allowed again.

[@Uwe_Ludolf]

To be honest I like the pictures taken with the 15mm more. The one with two people taking a picture of a church is my favourite. I don't know if it's on purpose, but with the other lens quite often a foot, leg, arm usw. is missing. This is ofcourse possible when done carefully, but to me it looks like it just happened.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank for your feedback, I appreciate it! I cannot image shooting everything and always with the 15mm, but it’s refreshing to shoot that wide. With the 35mm it’s a bit of a trade off between narrow and wide, I don’t mind when there is some parts of the body missing when shooting, in trade to capture some emotion or interesting moment, but I understand that it’s not everybody’s preference :)

[@Uwe_Ludolf]

@@KarinMajoka ah well emotions, there is a reason my job is with steel and not with people 😂 Just kidding, maybe I just focus on "rules" to much.

[@supergranular]

Apart from the trolololol, the missed opportunities also showed me that even when you're literally walking with your camera in your hand ready to shoot, you can still not get the shot. A good reminder.

[@KarinMajoka]

Sadly that’s very true, at least for me. One reason might simply be that I overlook specific things because I focus (literally haha) on something else, but sometimes it’s also because I am to afraid to take a shot from time to time. I am sure it’s possible to improve in both and I try to work on that :)

[@davidwoods80]

It's early May 2021; six months after I first saw this video... I go street shooting for the first time since Covid, and guess what music I hear when I miss a shot!!!! Ought to be on every photographer's playlist... where's it from????

Good stuff, Karin. Rgds Kenneth

[@KarinMajoka]

thanks a lot Kenneth!

[@stuartmeador8993]

I enjoyed the 15mm shots as well as the 35mm... probably a more traditional film like HP4 or T-Max would balance the contrast better.

[@KarinMajoka]

I actually like the heavy contrast, but it's surely not a film for every situation.

[@molnarjanos92]

I'd say 3:56 to 4:00 was also a missed opportunity. Great video though, love your shots!

[@KarinMajoka]

Yes, true! After I rewatched the video I saw this one too - well, next time maybe, we can only learn and get better from every missed opportunity :) and thanks a lot! ✌🏼
