Apologies about the voice halfway through the video! I had a cold the next day whilst doing the voice overs 😂

[@__cm__]

great video dude. very interesting to see you approach on different situations.

[@opticaljoe]

Thank you so much, Im glad you enjoyed!

[@sevind7]

love the work! you can set your camera to 'auto review' shots btw. I usually set mine to 2 second auto review. It won't pop up if you hold the shutter in a half press, and a half press can also cancel the review, but I find it almost necessary when doing photography. Keeps me from having to hit the playback button

[@opticaljoe]

Thank you so much, I may need to try that out!

[@canoodlingus6244]

Nice content Bro, I've been thinking to POV my Street Photography in Sydney. Its chilling

[@opticaljoe]

You definitely should 👍🏻

[@mahdiasgari9358]

Well done ❤

[@opticaljoe]

Thanks alot, I really appreciate that!

[@gwarlow]

3:10 I have a 12-40mm (24-80mm (35mm equivalent)) on my Olympus mirrorless. This lens covers most of my street photography situations. Thanks for sharing this video. Best wishes for your channel. Cheers.

[@opticaljoe]

It’s a fantastic piece of kit, can be used in all scenarios!

[@noyo1444]

For the slow shots you use continues instead of single shots

[@opticaljoe]

Hiya, I normally use it and it’s set on low because It allows a better control for me!

[@kthrobin]

I use 16-35mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f4 for my street shots and holiday, these focus length gives me the flexibility to capture the frame that l want. My next lens I would like to add is the RF 10-20mm f4, just tested it. It gives you more space to create image with this fantastic lens............but need to invest in R camera first 😮

[@opticaljoe]

Love wide focal lengths 🔥 I have have a 14-24 for whenever I want something in the wide and absolutely love it!

[@njebarr]

Is there any post going on or are the photos converted straight from RAW? You've got a great eye! Loving your work

[@opticaljoe]

Appreciate the comment, the photos in the video had some basic editing just to bring them out a bit more via lightroom, check out my ig also to see them in full! ❤

[@SJtoday52]

How do you get that green focus square to stay locked onto your subject while moving the camera?

[@opticaljoe]

if you are using a Sony it would be in the focus area menu and it is called track focus or something like that

[@peggycheng8969]

Hope you get well 🔜

[@opticaljoe]

Thank you

[@hugh_martin]

You mentioned the K&F Concept mist filter, but there are several of them. Which specific one(s) are you using?

[@opticaljoe]

Heya, its specifically the Nano X Black Mist 1/4 + ND2-400 Variable ND Filter 👍🏻

[@hugh_martin]

@@opticaljoe great video by the way.

[@opticaljoe]

@@hugh_martin thanks alot 🙏🏻

[@jokerfast]

One Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 can be used for all situations

[@opticaljoe]

That is very true! Such a versatile lens

[@luipitUpload]

What mode do you use your camera?

[@opticaljoe]
