Just found your channel because I was looking at the ZV-1 for street - great shots! Best of luck with your art!

[@elmunizada]

Fantastic photos! Great video!

[@chantalmyfawny]

Thank you!!! 🙏

[@cerenkebapc6029]

Wow, I am also surprised how this camera turned out so great as a photography camera. Your pictures are outstanding, good luck!

[@chantalmyfawny]

It’s really not the gear you use - but the artist wielding the tools

[@lawconic]

I have Fuji and Sony cameras, but I pick up my ZV1 the most by far. It’s a great blend of quality and convenience.

[@chantalmyfawny]

Absolutely. I love my Fuji x100s for slow and creative shoots, but my zv1 is my street and daily carry for sure

Hi girl! Came over from Elise’s channel! Loved this! Excited to launch my KZbin channel soon too! Thanks for the camera tips! I used to have a photographer business and got burned out but would love to do it for fun again. My favorite has always been street photography!

[@chantalmyfawny]

Amazing! So lovely to meet you! We need more women street photographers. Would love to see your stuff! :)

[@krisannette84]

Oh and I’m from Az, USA love traveling and going to Greece in May, I think I’m going to take my vintage Polaroid camera and get creative!

chantal, your vibe is dope ! would really appreciate if you could tell us more about taking product photography with that little monster, cheers and wish you truckloads & containers of success👊

[@chantalmyfawny]

Hello! I haven’t dabbled in product photography yet but I will be doing this soon as I am launching my art business website later this year and will be taking photos for my website. More to come. Subscribe so you don’t miss a future video 🙏

[@pipeperrea]

Hi from Bogotá!! Love your video, I just pick up the zv1 for video but now I wanna shot streets too. I would love to shot pictures in the moon! 🍊

[@chantalmyfawny]

It’s a great versatile camera! I have the mark I (first edition) I’ve heard the stabilization is worse in the mark ii - I would recommend the original camera

[@vancouverpoy]

6:45 really good photo there :) !! I got the ZV1 this year, happy with it too.

[@chantalmyfawny]

Yeah 6:45 is one of my favs too! Totally candid with the sunshine behind them 🌞

[@100playonplaya]

great photos!

Thank you! Glad you like them. Please subscribe for more street photo vlogs

Thanks for sharing your street photos. I enjoyed seeing them. To answer your questions at the end. I am a Brit living in rural California. I've done some street in San Francisco, San Leandro and elsewhere. Would like to visit Japan, Nepal...

[@chantalmyfawny]

That’s awesome!! There are so many places I’d love to go! I’ve heard really great things about the lifestyle in Cali. I would love to go anywhere warm and sunny, as Vancouver is quite rainy like Britain. ✨

[@LivingFreeTv123]

Hello from Salt Spring. I love my ZV1 💜

[@chantalmyfawny]

Hello! I’d love to visit salt spring island sometime. Any favourite recommendations of cool places there?

Your room is super cute

[@chantalmyfawny]

Why my whole house is one room 💗 thanks love

[@michaelbell75]

Nice! These look pretty good. Has a slight filmic look. Are these straight off the camera or edited? Thanks

[@chantalmyfawny]

Very slight colour correction edits but very minimal

[@martijn260571]

Hi, I’m from a little town called Leiden in the Netherlands ✋🏻👍🏻 I like interested in landscape photography. Have been for a while but never got to it. So this sony camera could be my next purchase 🙂

[@chantalmyfawny]

It’s a great little camera and it’s very versatile

[@HeyDien]

Did you post edit your photos shown in this video? Great video btw

[@chantalmyfawny]

Hi Dien, I did very minor editing in Lightroom. I kept the editing to a minimum to show the quality of the photos that can come from this powerful point and shoot 📸

[@babyboy1971]

I just got this camera and I love it. Do you shoot in raw? May I ask, how do you get such vivid colors?

[@chantalmyfawny]

Yes Donavan, I shoot in RAW - most of my post production editing is done in light room but these images are barely touched up from RAW - I just deepened the yellow/orange tones and increased the blue for the thumbnail photo.

[@LaloRacer1]

The karen story was hilarious!

[@chantalmyfawny]

Everyone loves a Karen hahah 🤣

[@robwallenberg8533]

I’d love to go to Japan too. Also Morocco and Hong Kong

[@chantalmyfawny]

Amazing! I would love to see Morocco as well

[@stebina.s3209]

does this pictures edited.? but anyways nice photos

[@chantalmyfawny]

The pictures are very minimally edited

[@deseifer14]

lol I've never had Karen encounters doing street yet but I guess it's always bound to happen. How is it using the ZV1 6 months after? do you use it alot for videos cause I heard it has a pretty bad rolling shutter.

[@chantalmyfawny]

Not my camera, never had rolling shutter issues. Been using it for year and it’s still my go to street camera. I have a backlog of photos to show and new videos are coming soon

[@innfield8836]

Colors at the beginning when you were in the car are dull and flat ... almost as if you were using another camera altogether. The rest is fine.

[@chantalmyfawny]

The colours of the video were at dusk after sunset - this was shot in autumn. I also didn’t colour correct the video in the cae

[@stringsnare]

only in vancouver

[@chantalmyfawny]

How so?

[@stringsnare]

@@chantalmyfawny Karens complaining about someone with a camera, lol

[@chantalmyfawny]

@@stringsnare yes, it was sooo funny ahaha

[@hoehoehello5736]

I’m not sure if this is a concern and I don’t wanna be a Karen but maybe posting photos of ppls faces online might be a bit odd. Here’s a cautionary tale, once there was this family I knew of a single mom and her son (my friend) and she’d managed to get away from her very abusive husband (beating her within inches of death) and a news station went and took photos of a playground at the school and he was in the photo! The husband saw the photo tracked them down and killed his mom :( I really love the work you’re doing but maybe be careful yk (tell me if I’m coming off rude I’m just idk scared because of that experience) have a great day bestieeee

[@chantalmyfawny]

If you’re in a public space, you have the opportunity to have a photo taken of you. Tourists in Vancouver take lots of photos. I’ve been in a situation when my family was in hiding and guess what - we didn’t go to public places at that time. I don’t take photos of kids in parks, I shoot sidewalks in busy neighbourhoods. That being said I never post photos of people if they ask me not to.

[@hoehoehello5736]

@@chantalmyfawny okay 👍 sorry I lived your video and didn’t want to come off weird lol, but you seem to be very respectful

[@hoehoehello5736]

@@chantalmyfawny also I love ur videos, I was born and raised in Vancouver but moved up to Prince George for school lol

[@bijosn]

What is the max shutter speed for photography? There is mechanical shutter so does that mean the shutter speed is limited by scan rate?

[@chantalmyfawny]

My settings for this day was iso 200-300 (varied) nd filter on, and 1/250

[@bijosn]

@@chantalmyfawny thanks. so you have not experienced any rolling shutter issues in photogrpahy? are you okay with the lack of evf?

[@chantalmyfawny]

@@bijosn This camera is a great point and shoot and no, but based on how I shoot I am not often zooming in or out I usually shoot between 28-42 typically 38 focal length
