Man...these tips? Wow. These explanations were better than most photographers on YT... you deserve endless love. Thank you..seriously
As a beginner, the explanation of why the settings were combined in the way they are was really helpful. It made things click when it comes to ISO vs Shutter vs Ap. Thanks, man!
Dude you got so much more comfortable in front of the camera in so little time, it's really cool to see your progress, in subscribers and in the quality of your videos.
Just picked up a 35mm f/2 prime for my fuji. Starting trying street photography tomorrow and I'm so excited
I'm saving this video as well - your walk-through of why you chose the settings that you did was excellent. It makes all the difference to understanding the settings rather than just knowing them. Indeed, you are a very good teacher!
Freaking fantastic..You become my favorite youtuber with every new video,cuz everything you tell us about is extremely useful 🙏🏻
Hi Roman, This video was great! I am starting to explore the manual mode on my camera and there were very good insights on this video. I am also glad you included some of your photos and thoroughly explained why you choosed those settings. Thank you!
Love your work Roman. Great stuff
Nice pics. I like that you showed your settings and rational for shooting the way you did. Keep them coming.
Ty for the tips and explanations with the photographs. You’re a good teacher! 😊
Just found you...Thank you, your explination on all your settings and why are the best I've heard as I try to get better. Can't wait to watch your other videos.
Nice one Roman, easy to understand and straight to the point, keep the videos coming bro 👍
Amazing video. Thanks.. Very well and as simple as possible explanations.
Well done. Keep them coming.
Good video mate. Really helpful explanations
Superb and very insightful. The key was your explanation on what you were trying to achieve.
Great video mate, super informative!
nice photos I like the way you explained how you used the aperture on the Jerusalem picture its something to think about
Excellent details! Thank you, I'm ready for street photography here in the US :)
This is a GREAT GREAT VIDEO... I have the XT-2.. with a 23mm..I have to get out and try this ..the images you showed are PERFECTION..be well and thank you!!
Such great advices! thanks a lot!
Great Photos, may god bless you and thank you for the useful infos.
Loved the last shot of the man in Turkey, keep these Fuji XH1 street photo vlogs coming! 🙌
Good stuff man! Cheers!
Great vidéo Roman, verry interesting !
The woman with the hat at 10:12 is a banger, mate 🙌
Sweet Bro, learned a while back not to fear ISO and to let it do it's thing, most beginners don't realise how what you expose to can make or break a picture
Yea brother can’t wait to watch this 👊
great video mate!
As always great informative video! Coffee beans? Gonna have to try that💪🏼
Very Easy to understand, thanks a lot.
Super helpful. Subscribed! Also you're slowly convincing me to buy an XT3 for my first mirrorless camera...
Very useful, thank you.
Glad I found this channel, subbed
Excellent video. Good advice too. I'll go to those locations in London where you took your pictures and see what happens. I subscribed your channel by the way.
Excellent
Very informative, thanks. On the Fuji for these types of situations I now almost always use spot metering with back button focus. And I'm surprised to find that a little tweak either side of the focus point can result in quite dramatic exposure shifts. But that doesn't seem to happen with centre-weighted metering. And tbh I can't often see very much difference betwixt centre-w and matrix settings. Matrix always seems to do too much of a flattening out job - great for "scenery", but not so good for the shots where you have a definite idea of "a subject". Love the Jerusalem environmental portrait - I have so many stories running in my head from that about who he is, what he's doing, where he's off to etc. For me that's the essence of good street photog.
Really great video. I do have two photographers that I follow on Instagram and one of them is you. Thanks for your great content.
Keep on going! 😀
Love your videos...concise and no fluff! Do you ever put ISO on auto with your ceiling limit? Also are you using single shot focus or continuous?
Very nice and clear video. Loved going through the pictures and thoughts behind the settings for each. One thing that seems to be more polarising is the use of auto-focus vs manual-focus. Any opinions on this ? :)
This is informative. I've just started using the xpro2 and have had to change the way I shoot due to ergonomic issues. I've set up an auto ISO profile which maxes ISO to 6400 and won't let the shutter speed drop below 1/320 which I find fine for freezing most motion at walking pace. I can therefore set the shutter speed to auto. I normally preset aperture at 5.6-8 and use the exposure comp dial or aperture to protect highlights where necessary. One thing you didn't mention was focus mode and this is where I've had to switch away from manual backbutton (its not easy on the x pro cameras) and now use point or narrow zone afs. It all works quite well. btw - Chinatown image is good
Thank you
Just started following you 👍on here and Instagram nice shots and great videos one thing I thought I had to do all the time was shoot everything manual to be a proper street Photographer the more I go on im trying to find my way of shoot I leave the shutter speed on T so I can move to where I want and that suits me 👍🍀🇮🇪💯
Super! Something to try also with film!
@@snapsbyfox I almost shoot only film 😂 so I will totally try your suggestion!😎
Very cool tips. Can you explain whether you used spot or zone settings?
Hi Roman great video, keep up the good work !! I am thinking to add a Fuji XT3 or XT4 to my bag (my 1st mirrorless camera ).
My main focus will be street photography. Would IBIS be a dealbreaker for this kind of photography ??
So much useful information! thank you! Just one qusetion, when you say "expose for building" or "expose for" what does that mean?
at first i use to care about settings but now I just shoot so i dont get so distracted on settings. I started do street photo vlogs on my channel here in Denver and its so fun
Good informative video. I use a Fuji XT-2. Concerning lightmeter setting. Do you use the spot-meter setting? Has to be for preserving the highlights.
Woah sir didn't know that you visited Izmir can't wait to see you here again
@@snapsbyfox Istanbul is also brilliant and have lots of opportunities altho if you visit Izmir I suggest you should visit Ephesus too great place to take photos
Where’s that bridge in Soho? Be good to check it out! Great photos Roman...loved the lady in the hat in Chinatown.
Roman Fox Cheers - found it! Got some interesting search results when I Googled ‘prowler soho’... It’s on Walker’s Court for anyone else who’s interested.
Thanks Roman for clear and "to the point" instructions. I also use XT-3 and also use manual exposure. For a while, I was trying to understand whether it's possible to measure the exposure and focusing from different points/subjects. And in this video I see that it's possible (your sunset picture in Izmir). So did you first manually calculate the exposure from the sky (until the EV shows 0) and then bring the focus point to the kettle, focused and shoot (regardless of the EV scale changing to another value like -1 or -1 1/3 etc)? Cheers
Hi Roman, excellent tutorial! Just one question. When you're focusing on the bus in the rain, what do you mean by exposing for the building behind?
It might be a silly question but...
How do you expose in an area and focus in another area?
Great videos!!
Hey man great video yet again! I wanted to ask you something about the Fuji as I think I'm gonna get one myself. When you started shooting with the X-T3 did you then feel like it was awkward in the hands or the ergonomics wasn't right? Because I felt like that when I tried it in my camera shop. But I wanted to know that if you just need to get used to the grip, because then I will definitely buy it. But it didn't feel right at first for me anyway
@@snapsbyfox thank you I will look at the XT4 when it gets released. Also I don't have very big hands I've just been used to my DSLR for so many years that It felt weird holding the Xt3. Maybe I just have to get used to that
So I understand everything that you explained in the video but I do have one question, is your focus set to autofocus or manual focus.
how do you set different exposure and focus in a fuji (the kettle @ 12:10). thanx
What’s the best camera mode to shoot on ???? I gave the lumix g9 with a leica 12-60mm
📸🎬🎥
Fujifilm is the most interesting camera for street photography. Elite exposure. Darkest darks. Beautiful work my dude.
Thank you for the very useful and practical street photography guidance. I have an f1.8 / 24mm (36mm equivalent) prime lens for my mirrorless camera (cropped sensor). I can never seem to get a sharp photo (where there is no or relatively slow motion) when using an aperture that is less than f4.5 in a low light setting, such as your Soho London photo or the train station photo that you shared in your tutorial. I am using a 400 or 500 shutter speed and an ISO of 6400 or less. What am I doing something wrong?
@@snapsbyfox Thank you very much for your detailed and clear guidance. My aim is to get a sharper focus when shooting during the evening hours. Perhaps the lighting from store signs, street lights, etc. are still not strong enough for me to get sharper images - or maybe I am expecting too much. I was not using a tripod because my shutter speed was faster than 1/60. I'll keep trying :).
Manual mode but auto iso is the way!
try coffee beans in sambuca!
How do you manage to get your subject in focus when manually focusing and they're moving ? Thanks
Ben You can use a technique called Zone focus. Although it’s best done with a manual lens.
0:25 you re not alone.

Or at least i am also a freak.
This is a question, non a critic; really interested in understanding this. First image Soho. Why the choice of F2/iso 200? Couldn’t be lifted iso to get best performance from the lens setting aperture closer to mid ranges? Do you give priority to iso vs aperture because the quality loss is less from opening than rising iso? Thanks,
Generally speaking, I have noticed you prefer low aperture values to mid ranges in most of your images. Am I wrong? Why that?
I mean, even when there’s no apparent subject on the foreground to be separated from the background
subscribe ! tks for the tips! from Bs As
The way you explain things one would take away from this that you are making changes to your settings specifically for the shot you got. That would make you super human, which I doubt is the case. The truth is you set up your camera for the scene you hope or expect will develop, without any knowledge of who the subject will ultimately be. Personally, I would never shoot full manual, because I don't camp out and wait for a scene to develop. I prefer aperture priority. My default settings are f8 and ISO 200, which is ideal for grabbing most shots, in good light, when there is no time to make any adjustments. Given a choice, I'd rather bump up the ISO than open the aperture, when shooting in darker conditions. For flexibility I prefer to shoot with a 24-100 zoom, usually set at 50mm.
After 16 years I quite shooting raw last year just not worth the difference with today's high quality jpeg.
We are not overlooking the fact that you eat coffee beans ....😂
You haven’t lived! Good coffee bean taste amazing. Try dark chocolate right after as well 👍🏻
Does taking coffee beans enhance your photography skills or inspiration? I'll give it a try.
I prefer M&Ms to coffee beans. 😱
Roman Fox exercise is overrated, too much time in the gym = no time for photography! (That’s my excuse and sticking to it, just need photos as proof now. 😂)
that guy crossing the buildings knows hes being photographed. his hand is up near his head in classic response of selfsoothing behavior when feeling selfconscious.
I’m interested in any photographer who isn’t using Sony.
Yet.
Roman Fox yes we must not join the growing army of Sony automatons, many of whom seem to be number-crunching gear-heads with little evidence of artistry (in my experience), or ex-Canon users.
