Relaxing Street Photography in Berlin | Fujifilm X-Pro 3

[@maxpower8737]

Two of my passions: photography and Berlin 😍 Thanks for video!

[@po.ntandshoot]

Not a bad pairing at all! Thanks for passing through - Paris video next in line to be edited.

[@bernoGarcia]

Amazing pictures, must have been a Sunday, because not many people outside

[@po.ntandshoot]

Spot on about the day of the week. Silence at that time.

[@p_syv8053]

The video was suddenly recommended to me! I really enjoyed it! You got some great shots and the video is straight to the point.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks, will try keep the next few as snappy.

[@ArchiesLens]

This is lovley!! Makes me want to travel Berlin. ✨

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers! Berlin is lovely in the summer months - do it.

[@ArchiesLens]

@@po.ntandshoot good to know! Will definitely be adding to my travel list.

[@TL-sl5hr]

Your work is really good. This is the first photography walk ive seen on youtube that isnt just random snapshots of people crossing zebrawalks with umbrellas, but I can see the composition and thought in every image. The only ones I didnt like were the up close of concrete at the museum island, but apart from that there were so many banger shots! The 4 yellow trams/busses, the man taking a photo at museu island framed by a pillar, the old lady reading something in the foreground and the young man looking upwards in the background etc etc etc. Good job!

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks, that's very kind. Trying to improve bit by bit.

[@westdk6705]

Germany that´s very diffcult country for photography You are very brave man !! Fuji 4 everrrrrr

[@po.ntandshoot]

Always a risk taking photos of people in Germany - a lot of them are aware of the 'rules'. I had to do my best to look like a tourist!

[@annashtraus]

It’s really lovely the light you get in May plus everything is green. I wanted to do same in Munich but it was just raining non stop🙈

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks Anna - I've heard it's brightening up in Germany, get out with the camera this afternoon!

[@channing0.908]

Love the vibe of this video👏🏽

[@ScottyHjpg]

such a great video to stumble upon. I'll be in Berlin in 5 weeks, gives me some ideas to try while I'm there. wonderfully edited for a street POV as well, nicely done.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers, that's kind. Enjoy Berlin!

[@VishalPatelUK]

Not going to lie I've never really paid that much attention to concrete but It was pretty cool. I love how I would sometimes see what I thought would be a good shot in the video and then you proceeded to post a picture of them, clearly you have a great eye. Also, the music you've included is so soothing. I think for me my favourite shot was the flats reflection in the car windscreens.

[@henryhemming1494]

Superb work...

[@MatternDominik]

cool Video! It is wild to see the places I usually take photos myself!

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers! Yeah, I can relate with that regarding London videos.

[@bcegerton]

Great video Mark, new to the Channel but watched a couple of others last night too. To say I’m jealous of the cities you’re travelling to is an understatement

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks for watching Brian! Got my hometown episode coming out later today ~

[@HenrikAndersson-ff7eh]

Beautiful stuff.

[@DarrylHebbes]

Nicely done, Berlin can be surprisingly challenging to do street photography, but you definitely got some keepers

[@po.ntandshoot]

I agree, it's not the easiest city / people to point a camera at.

[@harryfizavlog]

Beautiful photos and POV! Good choice of music very therapeutic! After having a long day today.. ;(

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers! Got a Paris video coming out soon - will try keep it relaxing as well.

[@harryfizavlog]

@@po.ntandshoot can’t wait!!

[@DadeWilliams]

awesome work

[@maximumpenisten4808]

this whole video was beautifully edited and really satisfying to watch, and the shots were even better. do you use manual or autofocus for street photography?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Appreciate the comment - that's kind. I usually use single point autofocus, set on continuous tracking for moving subjects.

[@geraldlwk]

You just used the standard classic chrome film sim? Any other settings? Love the tones!

[@po.ntandshoot]

Yes, pretty much! Classic chrome is my go-to + a few lightroom tweaks to levels/contrast.

[@geraldlwk]

@@po.ntandshoot awesome! Thanks!

[@myhanh98]

Stunning photos!! 😍 Are they all raw photos or edited?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks! They are shot in RAW and edited in lightroom.

[@myhanh98]

@@po.ntandshoot thank you! I really love the color of your photos 👏

[@philplacebo]

Hi, great shots. Did yo use a filter? Some of the photos look like you have used a black mist filter.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Sharp, sharp eye, you even reminded me! I was borrowing my brother in law's black mist filter on the 35mm (a handful of the photos). Most were taken on the 23mm, however.

[@hakanlindhen500]

But very nice pictures!

[@PixelBW]

GREAT work man. One question: Do you scout for spots before or do you just go for where it leads you?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks! I use Google Maps to search for a few neighbourhoods, but nothing more than that. I'm looking to make more use of geo-tagged photos though ~

[@HAL9OOOTUBE]

Great shots! Also in Berlin now and finding it very hard to do street photography here, the Germans hate cameras haha. Have you found any tips for defusing situations if someone glares at you or makes some type of gesture/comment?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Hey, thanks for watching - appreciate it. Germany is definitely one of the harder countries for street photography. My only way is to smile and push the tourist agenda - 'I'm just in a good mood, checking out your city'. When they have told me to not take photos I always try to talk with them shortly.

[@Heart0rHead]

Nice bg music :)

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers - I'll take no credit for that.

[@hakanlindhen500]

Why do you use a XPro3 if you mostly shoot with your LCD-screen?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Hi! For the sake of the POV, I used the LCD more so that the viewer can see a bit more. This actually led to the LCD breaking, and I had to send it in to Fuji for a repair...a real fault with the camera!

[@byeggs]

Has this been edited? / just jpegs? When yes, witch film simulation? :)

[@po.ntandshoot]

Classic Chrome simulation with some tweaks on Lightroom (shadows and highlights mostly)

[@hoangthang8230]

What's your gopro

[@po.ntandshoot]

Hero 11! I use a combination of the chest harness and the backpack clip accessory, depending on the circumstances.

[@radeknazwisko9180]

death city

[@clipz_500]

the area mitte is so boring

[@po.ntandshoot]

I'm inclined to agree...!
