Strategerie 😂😂😂 I like your energy great work also

[@jamestheredd]

If it's not a real word it should be. Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy it. :)

[@seyoumasefa7117]

Just came across this video and the guy in the video 3:05 isn't lying. Power: Force (ex prod by 50 Cent) is a fire show. Can't wait for season 2!

[@jamestheredd]

This show seems like a big deal. I love the cold color grade on the trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6fHqmeMr7aMlbc 🥶

[@thebeardedgeordiephotography]

Pierre lambert is your guy for Chicago shooting . Love your content buddy

[@jamestheredd]

Great recommendation! Good compositions, good light, good color tones! 👌🏻

[@STORIEDAMAAN]

And Mandy Ortiz for portraits!

[@shinma989]

Hey man, love your photography and your take on the art. Your photos have an authenticity about them and feel like memories to me. Thanks for sharing

[@jamestheredd]

Ah I love to hear that. Thank you for the kind words! :)

[@duvalpenny100]

This is great. This is the first time I can see how far the photographer is from the subject with the 70-200 F4. Even at F4, Bokeh seems easy to obtain at the longer ends.

[@jamestheredd]

Oh good! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah. The solid bokeh is one reason why I don't feel a need to grab the ƒ/2.8 version. Cheers! :)

[@mirror0flife]

great images that you showed here....and excited that you mentioned Nickmillers which is a big inspiration to me

[@jamestheredd]

Oh great! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes! He's a great street shooter to follow! Inspiring work.

[@omegared3922]

Amazing shots and I appreciate the explanation of street photography and how to put it all together. By far the best explanation. I’m just starting street photography. I’ll definitely be using some of your ideas tomorrow.

[@jamestheredd]

Amazing! I hope it helped you out in your journey. Thanks for watching! :)

[@greggScutum]

Great pictures and great review of the already published ones

[@jamestheredd]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@jaredmonez6373]

So glad I found your channel. Gained a sub, keep up the awesome work

[@jamestheredd]

Welcome Jared! Thanks for the love. ☺️👊🏻

[@richardpcrowe]

I have carried a 70-200mm f/4 lens all over the world. Love the quality and especially the form factor of the lens. BTW: an aftermarket black screw-in hood makes the lens a lot less conspicuous.

[@jamestheredd]

Yes! The look of that focal range is spectacular. It’s a very fun lens with a very manageable form factor. Nice hack with the hood! Do you find that having a hood makes a positive difference for your photos? I’ve always just left mine at home haha. Cheers!

[@Propellerhead1]

Ahh man when you spotted the van down the side street I made the noise someone makes when the eat something delicious 👌

[@jamestheredd]

Haha yes! 🥲

[@whereitsb]

yooo 70-200 F4 its still good

[@jamestheredd]

It's real good!!

[@whosyourbrad]

Awesome shots brother 🔥🔥

[@jamestheredd]

Why thank you. I appreciate that. ☺️

[@MarvellousVisuals]

Bro how was POWER not a talking topic! Have you not seen it! Man I’d have been talking for hours, he’d have had to tell me to get lost! I’d be helping him and all sorts 🤣

[@feydanmedia]

Haha yeah that’s what I was thinking.. WHATT!!! POWER !! Where 50 cent at tho aha

[@Fernyg323]

That dude was dope. Awesome vid.

[@jamestheredd]

Thanks for the love. Yes he was a kind fellow with some sick glasses. :)

[@richardlewis9868]

hia James, great vid, not sure why you would choose a long lens for this city rather than another.

[@jamestheredd]

Hi Richard! I chose it for this city because the layout of the city. There is a lot of opportunity with the above ground trains and with the openness around the Chicago River for utilizing a longer focal length. I felt like it would be a good choice. I also generally enjoy the look of a longer focal length. Cheers! 🤙🏻

[@jeremiahjuliano4329]

hi james!, which one do you think is better for a beginner like me? the fuji xt200 or the sony a6000?

[@jamestheredd]

Both cameras seem to be not far from each other technically. I've heard that the xt200 handles low light very well while the a6000, not so much. The autofocus seems very solid on both. Of course, with Fuji you have those film simulations if you're into that. From my little bit of research, I would say it mainly comes down to ergonomics/aesthetics and which ecosystem you want to get into. You most likely won't lose either way. 😊🤙🏻

[@TBKR90]

That shot @ 1:39 is incredible.

[@jamestheredd]

Thank you so much! That's very kind. I'm glad you liked it. :)

[@Rattler]

Отличные снимки, брат.

[@jamestheredd]

Спасибо! :)

[@Inspiratievideo1993]

How is the 70-200 F4 for the streets and landscape compared to the F2.8 version? so much doubt about this hahaha

[@jamestheredd]

Literally working on a video about this right now. Coming soon! 😁

[@thatsreallyamoon]

I suspect you'd want the f4 simply for weight. If you're walking around, the weight matters a lot more than one stop of light. And in street, I'm sure you don't need as much bokeh anyways.

[@ericagius1417]

8:54 Trump tower lol

[@peterosterman5820]

👌👌

[@jamestheredd]

Many thanks! 🤙🏻

[@joeltunnah]

Sorting through 20 frames that are only a fraction of an inch different is beyond my patience level.

[@yz249]

Could always set the camera to a lower burst speed.

[@jamestheredd]

Fair enough! I'm used to video as well so sorting through 20 frames is welcomed if it helps me get the shot. :)

[@MichaelZieschang]

Am I the only one who finds it weird to hide behind cars and bars and use the long lens ?

[@jamestheredd]

Haha I know what you mean. I'm always willing to smile and explain that the car was meant to be a foreground element. 😊

[@tengujack]

What's weird about it?

[@MrJohnston123]

actually it's not weird, the other sociopathic street photographers who get right up in the face of their subjects and therefore become part of the shot are the weird ones
