WHERE should I shoot the next POV Street Photography video? 😃

[@najar.muneeb]

Where can you go. ??

[@caloyvideos]

A market place if it is near your place ❤

[@caloyvideos]

Pier area or beach

[@Lars_Olsen]

Australia 😉

[@1337ghomri]

Bagdad

[@Lars_Olsen]

Such a beautiful place 😍 and your pictures are amazing like always 😊 Keep it up big fella!

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thank you so much Lars 😀Didnt get a chance to fly the drone to show the view, but the old town is quite similar to Copenhagen (in all fairness, much closer to Stockholm actually) since the Swedish Empire ruled around 17th century over Latvia and built a lot of those old town buildings. ALTHOUGH, don't quote me on that, I might be slightly off 😀

[@-grey]

This looks very nice. Now I want to experience a Latvian Christmas.✨ I like the look of the images straight from the camera in most circumstances, but when there is unnatural light like the yellow lamps of the shops your edit is much nicer. ✌️

[@TomsJurjaks]

Just be prepared for very cold and short days ❄️ and thanks a lot for your honest comment - thats exactly the reason why I add both the edited and unedited images

[@bennieferinga9609]

Very good video! You capture great photos. Subscribed.

[@V8vigilantie]

That Christmas market just hits different. Lovely photos man👍

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thaaaank you 🙏

[@LORY0021]

Beautiful! I have maybe a stupid question... When you approach to the street fotograpy do you need to pay attention to some privacy rules of the country...?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Not a stupid question at all, I know a lot of people are concerned about that. Generally I would say no you don't have to worry about it because in most countries a street is a public space and you are allowed to photograph anyone, however, I personally always try to be considerate and just don't do something I wouldn't be comfortable of others doing to me if that makes sense :)

[@MichTheo]

You took some killer shots buddy!

[@Easycook_withSK]

Lovely pov as usual ! Have a question - should I keep zone focus or spot focus or tracking mode while doing street photography?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks! Really depends. Mostly i shoot wide but for some specific scenarios or to help the camera to focus, I use a zone or spot

[@Frosty_43]

Always appreciate the editing

[@TomsJurjaks]

Ahh thanks a lot

[@yoki9743]

Nice few sets there.... keep up the excellent work...Yoki..

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks a lot Yoki 🙌

[@user-zepoluke]

Saw this with your new a6700. Also got one too since launch and will use Sigma lenses 90 F2.8 and 35 F2 also per your video review. Maybe if you can make a review of the Sigma 65 F2. Would appreciate it. Cheers from Texas, USA.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks a lot! Sigma 65 F2 is a sweet lens actually. Enjoyed testing the others out but now it’s bit harder to get Sigma lenses for testing since I moved countries. But will see what I can do!

[@carljo225vla]

this is beautiful

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thank you 🙏

[@user-bk4mp2eu6e]

Nicely done

[@najar.muneeb]

Street ❤❤❤❤

[@TomsJurjaks]

Yesssss

[@uwaak_]

which one is better for sony a6000? Sony FE 85mm or Viltrox 85mm, I'm confused😭, btw the video is cool as always

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks! And my answer is neither 🫣I would suggest you to get an APSC lens instead of full frame lens (and overpay for it). Much better option is Sigma 56mm f1.4. Its super sharp, affordable apsc lens, also compact and gives you that close to 85mm look.

[@uwaak_]

@@TomsJurjaks is that good? previously I used 50mm FE

[@TomsJurjaks]

I really love it! One of my favorite lenses 👌

[@miroslav.liptak]

Come and see Slovakia, make sure you shoot a nice POV video in Bratislava and I'll be happy to make a guide for you. The Geissens were also here and they liked it here. I think I'm not your only fan here.✌😀😉

[@TomsJurjaks]

Oh that sounds like a great idea! Ill hit you up if I end up there 🤘

[@miroslav.liptak]

@@TomsJurjaks Great, I am looking forward to it

[@rooney4172]

Thank you for amazing video

[@TomsJurjaks]

You are most welcome Rooney!

[@miroslav.liptak]

Perfect👌

[@TomsJurjaks]

Cheers Miroslav!

[@cirwin4099]

do you have a recommendation for a 35mm apsc lens, I would like to stay away from full frame glass. thanks

[@TomsJurjaks]

Sigma 30mm f1.4 is my all time favorite. Viltrox 27mm f1.2 PRO is another option. Big, bulky, expensive, but really good with lots of features.

[@mityabeloglazov3427]

Nice photo )

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@user-bk4mp2eu6e]

What camera and rig were you wearing for most of the video?

[@iron.danial]

Hopefully got to hold it one days

[@TomsJurjaks]

I hope so too my friend!

[@animegeek6118]

Easy to shoot street when there’s hardly anyone around 😂

[@TomsJurjaks]

Did you watch the video until the end? 😂

[@user-os7hk4kv8x]

Beautiful photos. Why are there so few people on the streets?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks! Its the old town, middle of the winter, almost no tourists around this time and locals don’t go much to these small streets

[@dongyunbai6772]

非常喜欢你这次的视频 感谢分享

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks so much!

[@manu-singh]

Hi toms getting confused btw sony 50mm f1.8 (effective focal length will be sony 50mm will be 75mm and 42-105mm for this lens right for my a6100? Which lens should I get, both of them are similar priced ?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Im also bit confused, sorry 😀 What is the exact model of the second lens you are talking about? Essentially, prime vs lens is a very personal choice. It really depends on what you need it for.

[@manu-singh]

@@TomsJurjaks sorry btw Sony 50mm f1.8 and Sony 28-70mm kit lens. Use - all round use, portrait and some landscape

[@ronwilli684]

28-70mm better for you

[@streetwalkerphoto]

When did street photography become photographs of empty streets?

[@TomsJurjaks]

January is very cold month and hard to find people lol, but if you stick around until the end of the video, you see that I went to the market and it was full of life, could barely walk through

[@Fre_patrick97]

I believe these are still beautiful images. Doesn’t always need people

[@foodiefundamental1767]

Nope... Too lifeless and cold, sorry.

[@-grey]

Latvia or the Sony? 😂 It's winter - What would make it warm and vibrant?
