Photographing The Gothic Quarter, Barcelona - Leica Q2

[@kaixiangkai6578]

Nice new concept, but the pov is definitely better.

[@maggiechen6280]

Loving the vlog-like style, definitely feels more engaging and it's cool hearing the thought process that goes into the shot

[@DirkMenker]

Hi Sam, great video again in that new style with the Q2 Reporter playing the main actor. Also Barcelona - well done! I'm looking forward to Paris 😂

[@haydensimpson5959]

Love that camera,super cool, compact and great colours

[@philipallen2730]

Never been a Leica fan but I love the way it seems to be driving people back to using the viewfinder. Great video ad usual

[@just_eirik]

I like this style of video.

@7:10 that lady standing there on her phone would have made an excellent shot. Really had a mysterious look.

[@Opticalwander]

It’s really funny you pointed her out! I saw her 5-6 times on my walk over a 4 hour period and I’m convinced I was being followed 😂 she’s in other clips I recorded that I didn’t include in the final video.

[@midus0013]

@Opticalwander what!? You should put the clips together for a short/reel.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I miss my Leica Q. I see a q2 in my future.

[@alzanetti]

hey bro What camera to use to record yourself?

[@permolity]

I would assume the dji pocket 3!

[@fiizzy3884]

Great images. How do you manage to take such sharp images while you and the subject are both walking (like with the hands). I've tried and it's just a hot mess.

[@Opticalwander]

I don’t know if this is why but when I do a shot like this I take a longer step and almost stop slightly while I press the shutter. The key is to match the speed of their walk / movement to minimise camera shake 🙏

[@fiizzy3884]

@@Opticalwander Ah, thank you. I'll try that in future.

[@furqanriaz8224]

What's your thoughts on leica Q2 👀

[@Opticalwander]

I love it personally 😊

[@heathrasmussen]

Also - be careful with your gear. Lovely city though. I'm a US/Aussie expat. Cheers

50mm - 80mm defeats the purpose of street photography, it removes you from the scene. Actually makes you look more invasive because it now looks like you’re spying on people.

[@atselykovskiy]

Street photography doesn't have any purpose

[@Canoncurt]

There's no designated focal length for photography. It's whatever gets you the shots you want to take

[@Canoncurt]

Also instead of thinking it removes you from the scene, maybe think about how it takes you deeper into the scene

[@wriggley5045]

@ yeah being further away from your subject, definitely takes you deeper into the scene. lol

[@wriggley5045]

@ does it not, so capturing candid reactions is not a purpose?
