The Holy Grail of Street Photography: Coney Island

[@nollange]

That was a sick ending clip

[@Brause_Market]

YES!

[@justduit1879]

hahah+

[@tfylhk]

The way of taking photography between film camera and digital camera is so different, every shot taking from film was composed via viewfinder but most of the digital shot was composed via the screen, this made great different what the pictures look like

[@shinjukumasterlord6252]

Love the photos of the kids at 6:30, great capture of emotion and friendship! Awesome video really enjoyed it!

[@gabrielm7036]

6:13 Very nicely spotted, would make a wonderful photograph in a photo book, possibly paired with another thematic shot, but also equally on its own

[@mapakern3979]

Cool! Looks like you two guys had fun. Even though I personally don't get this style of street photography, it's nice to see how everywhere restrictions slowly get lifted and people seem to breathe again.

[@mazski12]

What is it that you don’t get?

[@mapakern3979]

@@mazski12 well, I just don't see the point in shooting these mundane subjects. The composition doesn't do a lot for me either. Frequently, I really didn't understand what both of them tried to show me as a viewer. But I see this kind of spontaneous street photography a lot, so there are many people who like it. It just doesn't speak to me. I'm much more a sucker for Faizals architecture shots and tidier arrangements.

[@mazski12]

@@mapakern3979 fair enough all art in subjective and everyone has a right to their own opinion. Thanks for the response.

this video warmed my heart

[@jesusisapisces]

So lovely. I adored the 2 shots of the mum and her baby.

[@ulfjonsson2122]

Absolutely superb images, another splendid video / Ulf

[@Reggiebphoto]

Love the music choice on this one and the titles in the beginning 🙌🏽

[@Antonym1978]

1:47. Love that frame!

[@BIacKoWn3d]

That's exactly why i want to go back to NYC to bring to France this amazing streetphotography spot in my camera.

[@scallywhiskey]

Always great videos but this is my favorite you've ever done! Can't wait for part 2. Well Done!

[@benjamin-stamp]

Dope to see James on KZbin, been following his work for a while now. Sick video dude!

[@Theralex]

The VIBE of your POVs is always 👌🏻

[@matthewyarnell]

this was so rad. more of this plz.

[@rashikgmc9141]

Fine work man! Love the new & chill vibe of the video. The shots were splendid as well. Great job 🙌🏼

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thank you!

[@sincerlyantiisom]

A whole vibe

[@SoyNoodles07]

What font do you use at the beginning? (the yellow font 0:00 - 0:18)

[@itzaglz]

I’m so obsessed with the intro.

[@berserk989_]

Awesome work. That ending was incredible!!!

[@mattgermond7957]

Awesome vid! Love the black and white on the 100v 👍 Magical ending!

[@D13GOR]

Great ending 😄. The 3 photos of the little boys having a good time at the end were super nice.

[@JoeLopez]

Some great shots! What a stellar location. Summer, beach, those colors, balloons, bubbles 😎

[@pifilos]

What a great set of images.

[@sixthdutch]

Great video, very inspirational. And excellent shots and edits, too.

[@tdc_2021]

Great video. I feel like this is the kind of location that would be best in the evening. That midday light looked difficult to play with!

[@FreXxXmeister]

Is this Louis Mendes at 3:12? :O

[@kostyafedot551]

At least I was able to see Coney Island. Good video.

[@WhirlOmar]

Love it ! Miss my Coney. Can’t wait to see it next week.

[@KemiiLou]

Sick! Excited for part 2!

[@Toneychaplin]

Those dog pictures were the best!

[@abdalhafeezali]

I love the details in the frames or the footages inside the metro \ train. Great work, Faizal :)

[@milesmatic2872]

great vid on street photography!

[@mrericsk]

Nice POV, looking forward for next video

[@Javi8392]

Always bringing that 🔥! Keep up the great work.

[@bwizzlethemc2]

The photo of the dog and woman at 4:35 is so nicely shot, I love the colors.

[@LazyDogNYC]

Totally agree! It feels like a time capsule and more so now that there are a lot more people. I went on sunrise and it was beautiful (made a video)

[@JPiamnutty97]

Me encanta este tipo de videos. Dope like always

[@arloharnish]

Wow! Great photos!

[@robbiebarnes]

This is my favourite video of yours so far! Going to watch it again 🔥

[@vesper_ohaiz]

Hopefully everything goes back to normal before this year ends 🙌 Thanks for another great video!

[@derschlawiner4314]

what film stock did your friend shoot? looks lovely

[@darianm.4521]

Loved the beginning cinematic dude! Awesome video. You got my sub easy

[@alexakten]

[@johnnymarquez7727]

What strap are you using in this video also how do you have it mounted

[@raphroxas]

Damn, the editing tho 👌🏻 this is one of my favorite video that you have created. I love this Faizal! Great photos! ❤

[@barryh3815]

My inlaws live in that area, beautiful place, we always hang out on the beach and boardwalk. They used to have movie night on the beach before covid. Last one we saw there was greatest showman on a huge blowup screen with everyone sitting on chairs in the sand

[@gastonroulstone5025]

The shot with the bubbles floating in 🔥🔥🔥

[@electrictorquechannel]

That ending tho! 🔥

[@GerardoToyloy]

I love Coney Island ; is heaven paradise for photography. It is a great place to use the Sunny 16 rule.

[@412foto]

Went to Coney Island for the first time a couple of years ago and yes it was AWESOME for street photography!! Didn't realize how much of a kind of run down shady area it was in though. But man, amazing street photography galore!

[@nd2170]

Great video as always ❤❤❤❤❤

[@arthurlau4334]

Yo brother ! This pictures are beauuutiful ! Can I know what settings are your camera for camera...just picked up my first camera ..tryna get into it , hoping to learn!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thanks! There's a video on my channel where I go through my settings

[@arthurlau4334]

@@FaizalWestcott thanks Faizal!!

[@dannyjuarez1969]

my favorite part is 4:20 when that guys snaps a shot of you guys

[@joe_tographer]

What bag is your friend wearing? Its dope

[@alishahbasharat8491]

Hi Faizal. I have been watching your videos form a while. Big Support. I have a question. I use a fujix100v too but I don't find the quality for the pictures to be amusing. I see your photos and quality is so much better. Do you maybe have a clue what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Alishah

[@RiverMikaelWrinch]

Try editing with Capture One and not Lightroom. Capture One processes Fuji Jpegs and RAWs better giving you excellent quality to work with.

[@cins21]

Hey I was wondering did you use any built-in filter?

[@FaizalWestcott]

No filter

[@ben-jyn]

Omg faz, iv been waiting for the boxer video for so long and then I finally see him get excited and it ends …. Part 2 please!!!

[@aymansiam515]

Would you prefer x100v or xe4, is there a big diff in quality?

[@FaizalWestcott]

They have the same exact sensor

[@robbielwheeler]

Loving this!

[@rudyortega3285]

That image at 3:28 with the frame is 🔥

[@josephmedina0319]

Can your LUT be used for HLG pp?

[@J.Koenige]

Did the other guy ever figure out what to meter at? lol

I love the wild appearance of Julian Master taking your photo haha

[@snapsbyfox]

The guy at 5:06…. What sort of workout is that 😂…. Geezer probably burns 5 calories an hour doing that. Great vid and nice to chill to with a tea ✌️

[@judylindo6874]

seeing his belly I would have to agree, 5 - 6 calories an hour! :)

[@FaizalWestcott]

Lol! Thanks man!

[@surawitk.6757]

your vid always great!

[@Thunderbolts81]

How can you not be using colour when taking photos at Coney Island!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Haha, I was feeling the black and white edits. Got a lot of color shots in the next part though!

[@Thunderbolts81]

@@FaizalWestcott no worries only messing, got some good shots. Coney Island is on my bucket list. Being from the UK i might have to wait til next year. There's a place here called Blackpool which is similar, so ill make do with that. Great videos by the way.
