Those shutter speeds at night are blowing my mind (1/1600) 🤯. Guess that's the beauty of the 1.2!!

[@bentonbrightwell8953]

He also has his ISO at 1600. At ISO 100 he could be still be shooting at 1/100!

[@gaza4543]

well 1/1600,1/400 and middling iso id hardly say the area is dark! far from it.

[@ROYALNOLA]

This video makes me feel happy! The sounsd the imagery, the location, the people, the gear, the photographer!

[@leesmith5420]

The shots at 5:59 and 6:02 are amazing pieces of street photography 🔥

[@MatthewF21]

I'm super new into photography, and while I don't look to be professional, getting a f1.2 lens seems like an absolute must with these incredible pictures! (and at such fast shutter speeds!!). My little point and shoot that I'm replacing could never come close to this.

[@gaza4543]

The area is hardly dark to be quite honest you wouldn't be doing this in London with ISO that low, spot metering is your friend with small pockets of light like this. 1.2 will help but really helps is the lens is razor sharp from 1.2 where most will cheaper lenses will need to be stopped down a fair way to achieve comparable centre sharpness.

[@JLBA14]

Imagine being the one captured.. just going about your day and if you somehow got the photo. So awesome haha.

i like the 7:18 shot very much

[@briantaylorphoto]

damn man. your shots are impressive. color me jealous.

[@alexstrips7862]

Nice vidéo. Beautiful Colors. Just a question, why you’re not Closer of your subject? At Shimbashi it’s easy !

[@HugoLawrenceValentin]

I got this camera in the day time comes out to bright do I need a nd filter or could I change settings like you?

[@jake13696]

Variable ND will help you shoot at faster apertures in the daytime. But otherwise you’ll just have to chuck ISO to 50 and raise your aperture until your exposure is correct

[@Therealbigbaba]

How do you create that look with the cinematic colors

[@bly-maninthedark4805]

❤❤💯💯

[@user-zh4jf7ny3s]

こんな動画作ってみたい！カメラは何を使ってますか？ エンバトエレメンツ使ってますか？

[@wo2x34]

Im thinking of getting this lense. Which filter do you use on this lense? Thanks!

[@TKNORTH]

Using a Black mist filter from Nisi in this video - 1/4 strength

[@whorolledthis1567]

very curious what you can do with photos like this. portfolio? prints? stock?

[@amtee12]

Did anyone else notice the arrow changing direction at 4:10

[@Sergey_Sergeev]

8:01 What camera did you use for filming youself?

[@carldaniel3155]

Great video... Question - how do you get around the 1/8000 max shutter speed, when shooting wide open at F1.2? (in bright daylight) on my smaller RF50mm f1.8 it often clips out at 1/8000!! The only solution is to increase the aperture a stop or two f2.8, f3.2 etc... But I don't want to! - If I lower the iso to 50 - it just blows out the highlights, the files looks yuk! (Street photography on a Canon R6 with the face/eye tracking, shooting wide open @f1.8 is so very easy, what an amazing camera for speed/accuracy, except for the 1/8000 limit!!!). On my Fujifilm X-T3 it can shoot up to 1/32,000 - I wish canon had this feature... Anyone use an ND filter 1-2 stop or variable maybe? to get around this issue.

[@henkkok9437]

ND filter with 3 or 4 stops should help. The non-variable ones are pretty harmless qualitywise.

[@tioa1720]

hey just wondering, when we buy your presets why do they need to be delevered? i thought they were downloadables?

[@TKNORTH]

Heya they are all downloadable! If you've had any issues please send me an email I'll fix it up right away :)

[@pograjmysobiew]

Do you use black mist in the video?

[@TKNORTH]

Yep using the NiSi black mist in this one!

[@Zenluck8]

New to photography, just purchased your presets, do you recommend shooting in RAW or JPEG?

[@TKNORTH]

Definitely raw if you can :) you can still use them on jpgs but raw is always slightly better as you can usually push raw files a bit further when editing! Hope you enjoy them!

[@Genoo.coasters]

What AF modes are you in when shooting this type of photography?

[@TKNORTH]

Hi there! Often I’m just using auto eye servo tracking! It’s so dam good on the R5. On the occasion if it’s not finding the subject I want to focus on, I’ll manually select the focus point 👍🏼

[@Genoo.coasters]

@@TKNORTH Alright man thx for the response!

[@johnnawrocki1149]

Do you usually shoot manual when youre doing your street photography or do you primarily shoot automatic?

[@TKNORTH]

I typically shoot in aperture priority for street photography. Manual ISO though so largely controlling my shutter speed based on that. Fastest for me when scenes are changing very quickly

[@johnnawrocki1149]

@@TKNORTH thanks for getting back so quickly glad to be able to get advice from someone as talented as you!

[@jduvall]

What aspec ratio you use to fit the whole phone screen without being cut by the notch from the phone?

[@TKNORTH]

I use 4096 vs 2160, DCI / cinema ratio. It’s like 1.9 : 1 as a ratio I believe!

[@jduvall]

@@TKNORTH 🙏

[@Skylda]

for me its a bit too bright. if you take pics at night then you should see dark pics. this is more like for astrophotographie.

[@jamesgjurovich7893]

too many masks

[@AnalBeard]

And that affects you why?

[@aoi_p]

That's dope!!🔥🔥🔥 Great work!✨
