Nice video again as always. I really liked your black and white photos. I recently went into vacation in NYC. I went all b&w. I set picture profile to monochrome and shot jpeg+raw. This way I had best of both worlds. I didn't shot too much people since that scares me still in street setup. I got some shots from bicycling guys tho. I find them interesting in street setup.
Superb photographs. I understand your reason for using a 40mm lens very well after watching this. I am very interested in your reasons for photographing various things and it is a great reminder to me to not forget them. for example combining geometry of buildings with people.
It's also a camera that I use because I always have it on me. Now we don't have the pleasure of a Fuji or Leica camera which are a bit the 2 brands that work the old way. The other brands a little less.
Love the pictures you show here in the video. Hopefully they help us amateurs think before we take the shot? Well, I understand that it is more difficult for you who use a small toy camera and still get such nice pictures. 🤠 While some of the rest of us let the Olympus camera take care of the technical...😎
What do you mean by toy camera? Ricoh? It is far from being a toy camera. It is not so much about the camera, it is more about the photographer. Having said taht that it can be about the camera if it does not connect with the photographer. I think I could have gotten the same images with OM-5 and the 20mm F1.4. At the moment I enjoy the "toy" a bit more.
Another great street video. Have watched several, if not most of your street views, getting close to information overload. My 27 mm Fuji f2.8 seems to be working well for me, especially since I always used zooms/telephotos.That will probably been of my travel lenses. Can't decide on number 2 yet.
Peter, Love your work, and your advice. I welded my 20mm f/1.4 M.Zuiko (40mm equivalent) to my OM-5. Your tips and perspective are invaluable. I was out photographing in the heavy rain of a tropical depression today. Bad weather - great photos. Your work reminds me a lot of Saul Leiter.
Thank you very much. I still have that same combo. I should take it for a spin more often. What an honor to mention me and Saul Leiter in the same sentence.
Yes 40mm is one of my favorite focal lengths. Guess cause my first camera was a Konica TC with the 40mm 1.8 hexagon many years ago. Now for walk around its Pen EP-5 with Panasonic 20mm
This type of content was a bit different so I thought that starting out with a slightly shorter would be better. But i need consider making them longer in the future.
I am a bit more towards color, but I have been photographing black & white lately.It was the same on this photo walk. I started with black & white but sifted towards color. It is all how we see. I tend to see color and ralations between colors. I thnk both are totally ok and I do like black & white photographs a lot.
I never delete photos in camera. I always upload everything to Lighroom. Then I will delete some, but I keep most of the images. I do not shoot a ton of photographs.
After much debate I picked up the OM-System 20mm F/1.4 Pro lens earlier this year, and I have to agree that it is a very versatile focal length (not just for street photography) I've found it to be a great daily driver, and it it's pretty much glued to my E-M5 III. As much as I'm intrigued by street photography as a genre, I have yet to dip my toes in it properly. It feels a bit 'voy€uristic' sometimes in the day and age where privacy is a bit of a hot topic. Also, all the relevant rules and regulations with regard to privacy seem like a bit of a minefield sometimes, nit to mention the verbal abuse some photographers get on occasion. Haven't quite worked out how to approach this, and I sometimes feel I'm overthinking it, knocking all the life out of a creative proces that can otherwise be enjoyed so to speak.
Je pense que le TTArtisan 27 mm F2.8 est aussi bon que le Fuji 27 mm F2.8. Je n'ai pas remarqué de différences significatives. La principale différence est que l'objectif Fuji est résistant aux intempéries. J'espère que cette réponse traduite par Google est correcte...
@5:45 the man with the red helmet is smiling because he knows that you think he doesn’t know you took the photo but he’s on his lunch break and doesn’t have the energy to tell you.
I’m not running the Ricoh down. I’m sure it a superb little camera, as are the Leica D-Lux8, which has a zoom lens, and Fuji X100VI. I have and use such cameras and love using them all, from the phone, through M4/3 to full frame. They all have their place, but let’s face it, they are mostly interchangeable given the same equivalent focal length and all will do the job. It’s a matter of which one [or more] you fancy. Those with an iPhone 15, Pro or Max can adapt it to handle at least as well as the Ricoh by using a Freewell Sherpa versatile grip, which I do not own but covet. This makes it easy to hold and has a shutter button on the grip. The phone has far more features than the Ricoh plus optical zoom up to 5x and macro, Live Photo, brilliant video, auto panoramic, adjustable depth of focus after shooting and so much more, including all the usual computer, browser, email and so much more we are accustomed to on the latest phones, including the ability to be almost invisible. All for about the same price as a Ricoh. In fact you can include the clever grip and still be competitively priced and only have one device to do it all.
Yes, iPhone is a very capable camera in many ways. For me the phone is for other things. I would need a second phone for photography. There are some quite nice grips for mobile phones. I had one way back (forgot the brand) , but never really liked it. I still think that a "real" camera has better ergonomics. I have planned to do a video about street photography with my phone.
Watching your street photography, because it is 115 degrees F here. Am retired 67 cant get out in this heat. Like your work..
That is hot!
Let’s not forget that you are also a really good photographer. Love your photos!
Thanks so much 😊
I have a Ricoh GRIIIx coming soon, so this was extra fun to watch, and hear your thoughts. Plus, now I want to visit Helsinki. :)
I love the 20mm panasonic on my epm2 mini. A perfect combo.
Love the new format.
Thank you very much.
Nice video again as always. I really liked your black and white photos. I recently went into vacation in NYC. I went all b&w. I set picture profile to monochrome and shot jpeg+raw. This way I had best of both worlds. I didn't shot too much people since that scares me still in street setup. I got some shots from bicycling guys tho. I find them interesting in street setup.
Thanks. Just start slowly and use reflections on windows when photographing people.
Superb photographs. I understand your reason for using a 40mm lens very well after watching this. I am very interested in your reasons for photographing various things and it is a great reminder to me to not forget them. for example combining geometry of buildings with people.
Thank you very much. I am glad you found inspiration. I hope you have a chance to try that out.
Nothing beats an iPhone. Works extremely well for many types of photography
iPhone is a good camera. The problem is that the ergonomics is not very good. That is one important thing.
It's also a camera that I use because I always have it on me. Now we don't have the pleasure of a Fuji or Leica camera which are a bit the 2 brands that work the old way. The other brands a little less.

Excellent episode⭐
Thank you.

The speeding red scooter….. what shutter speed did you use to freeze the action?
1/125s F7.1. It is a panning shot.
Yes 40mm is one of my favorite focal lengths. Guess cause my first camera was a Konica TC with the 40mm 1.8 hexagon many years ago. Now for walk around its Pen EP-5 with Panasonic 20mm

Thanks for sharing bro. Really nice and enjoyable photo walk which could have even been a bit longer.

very nice photowalk.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Peter, do you have a preference to black & white over colour?
I am a bit more towards color, but I have been photographing black & white lately.It was the same on this photo walk. I started with black & white but sifted towards color. It is all how we see. I tend to see color and ralations between colors. I thnk both are totally ok and I do like black & white photographs a lot.
im curious... do you delete unwanted photos in camera wile out n about or when you get home..?
I never delete photos in camera. I always upload everything to Lighroom. Then I will delete some, but I keep most of the images. I do not shoot a ton of photographs.

Merci Peter. Que pense tu du 27 mm TT Artisan pour Fuji en comparaison du Fuji 27mm je veux me faire un combo sur un XT50. Merci pour ta réponse 🙏

@@ForsgardPeter Merci 🙏 Peter tu est très gentil de ta réponse ! Continue tes vidéos j’adore ! Traduction parfaite 👌
Merci beaucoup, je suis heureux de pouvoir aider.
@@ForsgardPeter You are in Finland I think? And I am French living in Portugal. Your talent has no borders. 🙏
@Erick_Pentax Yes in Finland.
@5:45 the man with the red helmet is smiling because he knows that you think he doesn’t know you took the photo but he’s on his lunch break and doesn’t have the energy to tell you.
A good one! Could be!
If the AF is not very reliable, you need to close the aperture... take a good camera, like the Sony a7CII and a 35/1.8 lens open is not a problem....
It is not that much about the AF and its capabilities. It is more about the depth of field.
Sir, please tell me what is the use of street photography, is there any admirer of these pics.?
I have had exhibitions in the past, I am collecting images for a Zine etc. Just to mention a few.
I admire Peter’s photographic work…

Im sorry but i didnt like any of these photographs. Im sure you have better stuff and this was just some pov video.
No problems. It would be interesting to hear why you did not like them?
