  • @martintolley9234

    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.

    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 ? :)

  • @zathraspersonal
    @zathraspersonal 4 года назад

    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

    @ttunali 4 года назад

    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

    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

    @edavidove 4 года назад

    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?

    • @edavidove
      @edavidove 4 года назад

      @@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 :).

    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,

    • @aleforzoni
      @aleforzoni 3 года назад

      Generally speaking, I have noticed you prefer low aperture values to mid ranges in most of your images. Am I wrong? Why that?

    @davidwill1320 4 года назад

    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.
