Olympus EM1 Mark ii Foggy Street Photography

[@darrenbrown7037]

I love how you use the 45mm! With so many people online they review that lens and its ALWAYS revolves around portraits. No one ever talks about this lens as a walk around, street, multifaceted lens. You've flipped that narrative on it's ass! Those 45mm shots are so good man.

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

That 45mm is amazing and I honestly think it’s great for a lot of different things. Using it for street shooting allows you to keep your distance and just relax. Thanks for watching mate, have a good one🖖

You shot this in York?? Beautiful city!! I wasn’t sure at first. I lived there briefly. What brought me here is a lowball eBay offer, and a 45mm lens on its way to me. I’m happy to have found someone who’s using this lens how I hoped it could be used. It’s more than a portrait lens. It’s the perfect all around if you’re creative.

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

Yeah it’s York. Having a slightly longer focal length there is great for isolating your subjects as it can be quite busy and a scene can get messy very easily. The 45mm for its price is an absolute gem! Thanks for watching, mate🖖

Well done lads, a very productive morning, many thanks.

Hey dude shall we play mine craft soon

[@GrumpyTim]

Cracking line up of shots in this one David - too many good ones to pick a favourite, but the window reflection shot about 8 minutes in is a real corker for that kind of shot. I think I've come to the decision that I work too slowly to do street successfully - I'd spend so long framing, focusing, adjusting exposure and so on that the subject would probably have come and wacked me round the head for pointing a camera at them before I got the shot!!!!!

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

Haha, sometimes the pace is quite mad, but that whole video is about 6 hours condensed into about 9 minutes so it makes the pace seem faster than it was. Shooting with Mike results in plenty of coffee stops so it’s actually pretty chill. Thanks for watching mate🖖

[@scientiest12]

Absolute banger shots man. I have the same 45mm F1.8 lens but struggle with the editing. Any tips? 😬

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

I recently did an editing video using Luminar Neo and my process is very similar in Lightroom so that might be helpful. I try and keep the editing pretty subtle as I’ve found that by just doing a little dodging and burning you can really bring things to life🖖

[@HarisMuhazir]

really nice shots 🔥

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

Thanks very much 🖖

Do you continue to use the olympus om10 mark II that you had at first I believe? If not, what do you clearly prefer in the em1 mk II for street photography?

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

Yeah the em10 was in the bag with me as a backup body, but only saw use towards the end of the day. Although the ibis is fantastic in the em10 mark ii, it’s even better in the em1 mark ii and the grip is far more comfortable for my hands. The biggest plus though is it’s basically a one and done camera for these kinds of videos. Everything in this one besides the PoV footage was captured on the em1 mark ii

[@darrenkynoch6255]

Is that the cheap olympus 14-42mm David, if so it’s done a cracking job. Love the video BTW

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

It’s the lumix version. Super plasticky, but actually pretty decent optically. Thanks for watching 🖖

[@darrenkynoch6255]

@@DavidFlowerOfficial will have to look at that one, thank you

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

It wasn’t that expensive either, less than £60 used from Wex👍

[@darrenkynoch6255]

@@DavidFlowerOfficial really that’s brilliant

[@merwanc6221]

Which action cam was used for pov?

[@DavidFlowerOfficial]

I use the insta360 one RS with the standard 4k mod🖖

[@Bartek_Hurko]

nice 👌
