Street Photography in the Rain (X100V POV)

[@KenyelSR]

Thank you so much for putting the camera settings beside your pics!!!

[@FaizalWestcott]

No problem!!

[@EpilogueOfHare]

Your videos always gives me motivation to get out and shoot and to shove my anxiety to the side when it comes to interacting with people in a creative sense. As always, lovely content. Thank you.

[@janfalconer6841]

How is the camera coping with rain? Are you using weather sealed adaptor?

[@Damage_Inc]

Every time you upload these videos I'm inspired to go out and keep shooting to get better! I smiled at the girl on the scooter because the interaction was so quick.

[@elliottocallaghan597]

honestly i just want more of these vids with the x100v. so calming. so inspiring. so helpful for looking at someone elses street style in detail.

[@RexTiongson]

i would love an hour version of this!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Let's see if my bandwith holds up haha

[@dennisng4627]

Faisal, you have an amazing eye for composition & capturing the moment just right! My fav is 5:48. Perfect.

[@nicolasklinke5713]

One of the videos that motivated me to get a fujifilm camera and start shooting everyday. Thanks a lot Faizal

[@vitormontenegroo]

Straight to the point, no BS. Love your pictures

[@nick-w]

Loved the mood the city had in the rain. Perfect weather for introverts and rain lovers :) Ohh and very nice photos that you took.

[@BELTR.]

This camera is such a great tool, weather resistance makes it so complete and capable/versatile. I think Fujifilm should release a 50mm version, which is just as classic (and my favorite focal length). They could also enable the crop modes to be saved in RAW!

[@SISSI_LU]

Shooting in the rain is the most fun! Some Of my best shots were taken in the rain!

[@chopinho65]

Faizal just came across your channel recently. I sense yet further growth in your audience. Genuine videos, informative, really quite humble, yet demonstrating an outstanding approach to street photography. You really do have a great eye - some wonderful compositions which really speak. Unfortunately, there’s a little too much ‘street’ on KZbin right now that, in reality, just present images of people in the street. Your photos stand out in this crowded space. Great work!

[@genesmith8279]

Faisal I'm a street photographer in a small town in Virginia and every video of yours I see I always learn something new your amazing and your making a difference in my work,thanks

[@deepthoughts9132]

So Faizal’s favourite shot to take is people holding their fingers at the back , quite interesting.

[@matthewtomczyk]

it definetley is

[@Theo-tu3bi]

Your Fotos and Videos are impressive and emotional. Thank you for the Inspiration!

[@Al713JANDRO]

NYC is always on a different level of street photography. Nice photos btw man!

[@_Rapturous_]

Dope photos and great content! We are currently in second lockdown and am going through your videos. It really helps me get through the days.

[@FaizalWestcott]

❤️🙏🏼

[@MadredeAgua9]

Loved the woman waving "no" at you from behind the window and the man in the frame next to her sitting somewhat still.

[@MikeChudley]

really nice video, enjoyed watching that.

[@glee4112]

I always enjoy you street walks. Good eye!

[@KajoCreativ]

Thanks for this relaxing video and the beautiful shots! One of my favorite photos from this episode is the one at 11:18 :)

[@FaizalWestcott]

Ty!!

[@benja1378]

Thank you so much Faizal! I really enjoy these videos

[@eduokito]

Hi! your videos are awesome! I would like know what is your light kit in your room, or you use just sun light?

[@kylewassink221]

these are getting me through my hangover...👌🏿

[@nick-w]

I watch this video for sleeping :) So relaxing with the rain 🌧

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

Rain always does give something more. More rain usually means better shots! Nice work Faizal!

[@EADuskk]

More of this rainy street photography!🙏

[@jaywhitebk]

Faizal great video. You have some very powerful shots in this one. I wanna go out and shoot in the rain now.

[@joepblom4180]

I’ve seen your work before, but this holiday I’m rediscovering it 🔥

[@got2beable]

More of these pls. Insane images!

[@jf_begare9545]

Thanks, I love what you do!!! Hello from France 😍✌️

[@ttown1376]

What simulation were u using with the vibrant colors like at 4:22

[@Joep00]

Got some Dave2d vibes with that intro song

[@cbr_n]

YES

[@RobMoses]

Cool vid Faizal. Definitely some great street shots.

[@christophersmithphotograph2275]

Rad video! That camera must have really great weather sealing! Thank for sharing.

[@TomFreer87]

What focus setting are you using? I’ve just started with zone focus this week as auto focus wasn’t giving me consistently sharp images

[@ElHex909]

Right? That seems like the proper focus setting to use while on the move.

[@TomFreer87]

@@ElHex909 yeah it’s very fast and sharp with varied focus distances in the shot. Hopefully he may do a video on it

[@ivunchow]

Great video and nice photos! Amazing colors in Chinatown NY 😍

[@mattrees2050]

Thanks for this. Quick question - how do you focus so fast? Do you use face recognition?

[@Riccardo.Perini]

09:15 Hi Faizal, I really love this shot. Nice atmosphere and colours!

[@corentinroussel4582]

Really appreciate your work dude ! Would be so cool to get a new video about your post-prod work on lightroom.

[@EnjoiRom1]

Damn I'm gonna love this one ! It starts right where I stayed last time I came to NY !

[@neilhillyard9997]

What a great video. Super photos that capture so much emotion and character. You’ve convinced me to get this camera!

[@vailer6768]

Thanks for the inspiration.....

[@mitto012]

Greeting from France, just discovered your channel and it's giving me a lot of inspiration ! Keep it up :)!

[@nerineign]

Your videos are really relaxing!!!!!!!

[@kurtlwrr]

great shots as always Faizal! awesome that you included your settings

[@adngbsn]

I really like your pictures. You make it look so effortless.

[@Denverman1]

Just wow!

[@terrynewmanphotography]

Another enjoyable video thank you. I noticed you had a + exp comp on all shots. Was that because of the cloudy/overcast conditions?

[@pau.lthecreator980]

Nice video makes me taking pictures every day

[@jaypema]

Thanks! Great to watch your process with the results (and settings!) - which square hood is that please?

[@teresmajor7956]

That last photo

[@hemantchatterji8986]

Thanks for the amazing video ! I just had a small question, as to how do you keep your gear safe during the rain ? Like either carry an umbrella or something else…

[@Adam-pm1cy]

Definitely a good eye - great photos!

[@expresscisco7880]

Really nice video and nice shots! I appreciate you sharing the settings, but I was also wondering if you could tell how you manage focus ? Thanks.

[@miller1520]

Such amazing pictures, thank you!

[@annguyen1283]

nice works dude!

[@connorpetersen8325]

this is amazing, you killed it

[@iimmm]

I loved the video, as always. Is there any plan to release presets/styles for Capture One sometime in the future?

[@kylelu9463]

11:19 sick

[@zeearei]

ok but would you recommend this camera if i only want to use it for like maybe, take a shot of me and my friends/family, or when im on a vacation?

[@Havenotats]

Shot at 12:15 was my favourite Great framing 👏👏

[@lucastea9533]

loved it too

[@242garyp]

Hi Faizal do you never shoot through the viewfinder for street photography?

[@atroche1978]

I don't like to use the screen view on any of my digital cameras. I wanted a Ricoh GRIII but didn't like that it didn't have a viewfinder.

[@FaizalWestcott]

Haha, great question. I do actually. I just prefer to use the lcd for videos like this so you can see how I frame shots and work a scene. Sometimes I use the viewfinder by habit and I end of blocking the gopro's view

[@bobortiz]

love it thank you can you explain the reason for shooting at 6 feet.

[@radomskii]

Thanks for the video! Is it x100V so good weather resistant that you don't worry about it? thx!

[@JoeLopez]

Nice shots here, thank you for sharing!

[@Minismitty]

Do you only shoot in manual focus mode? Seems like you're nailing focus super fast

[@nordishtm949]

Even it was ment funny, I was a bit sad when you mentioned that the video is sponsored by 'yourself'. You really deserve a bigger sponsorship! Really enjoying your vids and did purchase some presets. Hope it helps! Keep on the good work!

[@berndpape407]

Du hast uns auf ein atmosphärisch interessante Stadttour mitgenommen, guter Eindruck !

Hey yo ma dude, you have such a dope style, very unique! I dig it!!

You would love the dull and rainy conditions here in the UK lol

[@BLEEJazz]

Amazing.

[@DecentGatsby]

Really making quarantine bearable-keep killing it! I had an xpro1 for _YEARS_ , it recently died after shooting in the rain. I’m trying rice method. 🥺

[@FaizalWestcott]

Long rest it's sensor. Sorry to hear that!

[@AhmetCihanDemircan]

Hi, i really like your videos. Thank a lot for share. I have a question. I have also x100v. Do you use P mode in street photography? How can u set max iso setting? And How can you set P mode in x100v? I'm new with the camera. If you help me i'll be very appreciate.

[@FabioRubini]

Hi Faizal i know you already kinda answer the question but i wanted to ask you if also your filter adapter is from Squarehood. Did you hav any trouble with the Squarehood set? Or have you ever used the original fuji, i mean whats the difference between those two. I'm also waiting for my Squarehood to come, but i'm a little bit afraid of these weather conditions. Thanks for your time!

[@mrmalone9157]

Just found your channel, very enjoyable! Can I ask do you use any particular focus mode or manual? From the video looks like you caught some very fast in the moment shots so was wondering your focus option used, cheers

[@aklivn49]

Great relaxing video, great shots! Nice mix of color n B&W. How safe is it in NY to walk around n take pix?

[@vladostapovets7209]

"this video is sponsored by myself" laughed out loud :D

[@jrbp33]

How do you know how much rain your camera can withstand? Im worried ill break my camera if i take it out in the rain.

[@funnytimes2152]

Does one add B/W filter after or do you shoot with it from the get go? Thanks!

[@funnytimes2152]

Also is there a cheaper/older fuji camera you would recommend? Thanks!

[@Learn2TradeLLC]

yo early af! love ur photos

[@matthewtomczyk]

how often do you travel from boston to ny?

[@FaizalWestcott]

Not that often lately because of covid. Much of this New York content you're seeing was all filmed in 1 week.

[@BealeIam]

Great video dude! Love your style. Could you tell me what lens hood that is for the 100V please?? And does it still attach with a “waterproof” filter on?? I just have the filter and its a pain in the rain. Need a hood man!! Keep up the good work

[@FaizalWestcott]

It's from Squarehood! And it has a filter on as well

[@leorobert8067]

such a cute video

[@theriddle8885]

Hey Faizal, I love your videos and your style of photography, but one question, how do you manage to not get your camera wet when shooting in the rain? Thanks!

[@RirizSentanoe]

Just buy again a new one if the camera is damaged. Just kidding bro

[@AufKohleGeboren]

@brandovlogs this model actually isn’t 100% weatherproof, only when you attach a filter or so. There actually is a kit from Fuji themselves to make it weatherproof, but it’s also just an filter adapter ring and some kind of clear filter

[@leojphilip732]

The shopkeeper at 10:50 🤣

[@FaizalWestcott]

😄

[@hasnaatikah8242]

I love your preset ❤️

[@DomenicoMontaruli]

How do you chose when using b/w filter?

[@bunnytoothie]

hey faizal! great video as always! 👏🏼👏🏼 however i was wondering what you meant by +2 step?

[@FaizalWestcott]

That refers to exposure compensation. (that dial you see on cameras that has +1,+2,+3,+4 etc) it's a way to quickly compensate your exposure without having to change shutter speed, aperature, or ISO.

[@bunnytoothie]

@@FaizalWestcott i see! thank you!

[@thehasinhafiz]

What's the camera strap Faizal's using???

[@FaizalWestcott]

😭😳

[@qipingzhang6156]

Can’t wait for the CLE analog POV!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Sooon

[@theblue4854]

curiosity: why add two steps of exposure compensation instead of adjusting the shutter speed, aperture, or iso for proper exposure?

[@AufKohleGeboren]

What’s wrong about using exposure compensation? For having a filmic look of you’re photos you often want to overexpose because it helps create the analog look.

[@jeonkateque]

Hello recently I have been watching your videos and I have question... Does Fuji film XA-5 is okay? I mean is it good for photography? :)) thank you so much!! I really love your videos😭😭😭

[@atroche1978]

The XA5 is definitely a good camera for photography. But more importantly is the quality of the lens you buy for it.

[@jeonkateque]

@@atroche1978 Thank you so much!!

[@andersforsberg9626]

Hi Faizal! I enjoy your videos and I actually bought your Lightroom Analog Pack (#1) just a few days ago. I'm comfortable working in Photoshop, but not as much in Lightroom yet. I would really appreciate if you could make a video on how you apply these presets to a RAW-file in Lightroom. When I try to do it, I seem to get a very heavy application of the presets, like over-saturated if you know what I mean. I've tried to apply the effect correctly by adjusting temperature and tint, but I don't really seem to get there. Again, would be really appreciated if you could make a go-through video of this. Thanks!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Hey Anders, thanks for purchasing my presets! I'm planning on making a video on how to edit with them because of your comment. I think it's a great idea!
