The architecture in Cambridge is absolutely amazing! And the organ playing was the perfect soundtrack!

[@JimmyShixin]

agreed - never really appreciated the architecture while i was there as a student which is why I keep going back now for photos!

[@tangminh11]

[@JimmyShixin]

[@jules_mac]

Nice POV and shots. I spent a day in Cambridge a few years ago on a visit to the UK. Reminds me of many of the places we saw. Thanks 👏👍

[@JimmyShixin]

thank you!

[@jakob9435]

Love your Videos Jimmy! Your Videos are really high quality especially for such a small Channel and i can really relate how you got into Street Photography. I started watching a lot of Street photography Videos in lockdown too and im looking to get an a6400 + Tamron 17-70 now to get my photography started. Keep up the good work!

[@JimmyShixin]

thanks a lot Jakob! having a lot of fun w doing these :)

Loved your POV mate. I had no idea there is a 17-70mm 2.8 from Tamron. I have the 28-75mm one and sometimes I needed it to be a little extra wide…

[@JimmyShixin]

thanks man! there is but it's for APSC - if you used it for a full frame it would be ~25-105mm equivalent

[@marianoramos3885]

nice work bro!

[@JimmyShixin]

thanks man!

[@d_ginger_ninja616]

I want to go back to Cambridge now, I used to live there for 5 years before I moved out of Europe

[@JimmyShixin]

do it! perfect location to visit UK apart from Ldn in my opinion

[@jhonatanhernandez697]

Amanzing !! I just bought a Sony a6500. I hope to capture cool photos like you

[@JimmyShixin]

awesome! enjoy the camera man!

[@itsyusufofficial]

The pictures look amazing on the tamron, which presets did you use for your pictures in the video?

[@JimmyShixin]

Thanks! I edit everything now with my own presets which you can find on my website

[@whateverm8t]

Great video mate! I love the edits, what presets inspired you?

[@JimmyShixin]

cheers Dan! for this vid I mainly used Opticalwander's and Mike Chudley's presets :)

[@italogomes1776]

amazing! what's that gopro of the pov? hero 9?

[@JimmyShixin]

its the hero 8 black :)

[@benncart10]

Really loved this video and just subscribed i have bought a 2nd hand sony a6000 would this lens be good for this camera and would you recommend it ? Thanks in advance 😊

[@JimmyShixin]

hey! yes absolutely would recommend, the tamron 17-70 is a great all rounder lens and perfect for a travel set up for your a6000!

[@benncart10]

@@JimmyShixin thanks for your reply it's going on my wish list 👍

[@tvercel]

So good. What focus mode are you typically using?

[@JimmyShixin]

thanks Tom! i just use the standard "wide" mode when that fails and I want to focus on a specifoc area I also use the tap to focus thing

[@aronwilliams6177]

Just subbed currently using a6400

[@JimmyShixin]

ty to a fellow member of the #apscgang

[@joebeck0]

Would you be able to share what focus mode you use on your a6500? I have continuous autofocus setup on the ael button, and then hit the shutter button.

[@JimmyShixin]

for photos i use AF-S mostly (AF-C is also good), not sure about the AEL button, what does it do? I just use the shutter button half press to focus, full press to take the shot

[@joebeck0]

@@JimmyShixin Ahh thanks man! And the AEL button I programmed to basically do what the half press on the shutter does, and then only use the shutter button to capture.

[@thiagotzefcb]

Do you use any kind of filters for your tamron?

[@JimmyShixin]

sometimes a tide optics cinesoft filter for dreamy nighttime shots and for video a variable ND filter from GOBE

[@abhisheka2305]

Is 17-70 wide? Is it a good do it all lens?

[@JimmyShixin]

17mm is the widest it can go - this is a 25mm equivalent on full frame, not quite wide enough for my taste which is why I got a samyang 12mm AF

[@mudit0074]

Nice talking in video otherwise we could have got bored if it was just pov and music😄

[@JimmyShixin]

ohhh interesting! i recently tried the other format (just music) to see what ppl prefer so this is good to know :) thanks!

[@xnautro]

i just agree myself with sigma 18-50 2.8 ..........
