      No one gives you the actual street photography tip. How do you not make people and the authorities uncomfortable while taking 100s of photos on the streets? How do you become invisible? What are the kind of legal repercussions that you must be aware about?

      @@sameersinha7799 Let me try and give some tips. I started doing street photography more seriously and since I am more of a quiet photographer I have found some ways to do it with confidence.
      1. Don't hang around for too long, try and take the photo and keep moving.
      2. Once you have your eyes on someone you want a picture of, focus on the screen or the viewfinder rather than making eye contact with them.
      3. And my last tip would be to get out there are snag photos, start taking photos as if they are yours because they are. It has helped me become way more confident because I take my photos with people in them as if I don't care what other people might think. It isn't illegal or anything so I take the pictures I want. At some point I lost the social anxiety and became open to people.

When I was taking photos of people on the street they were all really chill about it, some of them even stopped and posed. Meanwhile, back home, people aren t so open minded and most of them are actually bothered that you took their photo and they make you delete it. Mentality difference

I always shoot in shutter priority (for both stills and video). if you are shooting video at 30 fps you can expose anywhere up to 1/40 of a second to deal with low light if that is an issue. I set my ISO to a range of 100-1600 so the camera can adapt to any extreme changes in lighting without me having to make any additional adjustments..

  • @mygoodstuffreviewed
    @mygoodstuffreviewed 5 лет назад +44

    #4 really speaks to me. I've been chasing technical perfection all my life (sharpness, clarity, lack of noise etc.) and yet when I look at some of the street photos I've taken and enjoy, they are not always perfect. If there is a story within the frame, the technical side of things recedes into the background. If a photo has great content, it can afford a slight imperfection - whether that's missed focus or a bit of noise.
    I'll be shooting street at a workshop in London this weekend and I'll be forcing myself to let go of the need for absolute sharpness. I'll be making a video with my results so I hope I can show that I've learned my lesson :)
    I don't have an 85mm lens for my Fuji, but I'm interested to try such a lens out in the future. I was surprised to hear Kenneth say it was his go-to lens for street. I do like the idea of a bit more separation from the subject, since I'm a bit of a shy photographer too. Currently using a 27mm Fuji lens on an XPro1, so I'll have to get in close this time round.

I pulled out my Mamiya RB67 the fellow I was going to shoot a couple of frames with knew all about my gear I had in my bag. He used to shoot Fashion in New York years ago.

    Legit info here💯 In particular one of the things I'm going to try to put into practice is that sharpness isn't everything. I'm really new and have been shooting for about a year. So initially I've been trying to get as technically good as possible, but now that I've gotten more confident I want to let myself use things that might be a great moment or composition even if it's slightly out of focus or I need to crop a lot. Thank you for the great content!

      I just started a few days ago actually asking them to take some photos, using a 35mm (on a crop sensor) instead of using a 55-200mm at a long distance, unoticed hahahaha. I have to say: it's really nice when people go for it and say it's ok. You should try as well ;D

      @el_teodoro 5 лет назад +23

      @@henriquerosendo7046 True but sometimes you need to take the picture before asking, because of the moment. And of course, you should tell them after the picture about it. They might even love it to death.

    Wish he would explain the limitations of prime lenses for street photography. they aren't perfect and it's a give and take. I shoot prime and zoom. Primes mainly in lower light situations. As a travel photographer/street photographer, my work is fast. So there usually isn't enough time to wait, move, adjust, and perfectly frame a shot. Zooms make it faster and easier to recompose a shot on the fly. 100% agree that Prime IQ is better than zoom. My 24-105 f4 can't touch my 85 1.8 in terms of image.
    Been following him for a minute. Love his work.

    • @professorhineschoice
      @professorhineschoice 5 лет назад

      There's a long response I'd make to this, but I can't type all of that lol... I mentioned primes to not say that's the only way to capture street, as I have quite a few with the 24-70mm and my 16-35mm lenses as well. This is how I shoot, using primes for my work vs zooms but my point is for people to use what they have, but here's my reasons for prime lenses for street. =)
