This is just the type of video that makes me want to grab my camera and just go out and shoot...so, so inspiring and really great tips. Imagination, perseverance and the ability to look at things from a different angle or perspective (I guess that's the same imagination bit again). Some people's photos just make you want to be part of the scene, and this is one of them, thanks for sharing
Thanks Matt G. That is awesome. What sorts of things do you like to photograph? Photography is something the replenishes me. I love being out in the world, finding its beauty, and it continues to inspire me, and remind me of how spectacular life is. What great times we live in, to have such power at our finger tips. And it is moving at such a technological rate. Thanks for joining the conversation. Cheers Matt
Well Matt, I'm just getting back into photography from a very, very long lay-off. I procrastinated and procrastinated over the camera/format (lots of models passed me by in that time!) I should choose and I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you by saying I went down the micro 4/3 route (I know, I know). For my reintroduction into photography I opted mainly on the basis of size and price for the purposes of foreign travel which involves lots of walking. I love reading about all the new equipment advances coming out at the moment but I'm glad I didn't shell out on a larger format earlier as now the latest Sony f/f series of cameras have come out I would literally be kicking myself if I'd bought their earlier series or an alternative brand. Anyway, I'm a believer in the old cliche that it's the photographer and not the camera that counts. I can tell you're the type of photographer who'd make pictures from a reasonably modern smartphone shine. What I'm noticing with my technique is that my photos look flat, dull and uninspiring compared to yours which exude bags of movement and vibrancy, which of course is exactly why I'm following your channel. If and when I feel my technique has improved enough then I'm quite prepared to upgrade but until then I feel my equipment is currently way ahead of my ability.
Hey Matt, thanks so much for sharing, I totally agree the photographer makes the image not the camera. For the first 10 years of my journey, I could not afford good gear, and I had to make do with basic stuff. Having travelled with the 35mm gear, it is hard work. And I completely understand the cropped sensor option, and I think it is great. And many times I have looked at them, scratched my chin, and wondered should I?. I love what Olympus are doing etc. So when Sony first came out with the A7R which was a full frame sensor, in a very small body, I was very excited, and you can see my recent film here ruclips.net/video/o4mnWF4uVGw/видео.html . about how I felt about it. They are amazing. But as a professional I need that gear to be on par with my peers, and it is hard to go back to cropped after full frame. I can see as I transition from working professional to my later years, something smaller will be in my future. Regarding equipment, there is no rush, if you can play and practice, that is the most important thing. And my 5 year old Sony and 6 year old Nikon D4 work just as well as image makers, and the small differences are slower focus, lower ISO, slower frame rates and small things like that. But the photos are no different from camera to camera as a piece of art. Thanks so much sharing, and please let me know if there is any subjects you would like me to cover in the future. Have a great weekend. Cheers Matt
@@MattIrwinPhotography both. I am in LOS Angeles. Never been to Australia. It is interesting to see the places you go, hear your thoughts on why you choose to shoot at particular locations, the interesting lighting at night etc... I’d love to see more of Melbourne through your eyes. I am also eager to hear your impressions of the tc2 extender! 💕
Hi Ronaldo, thanks for joining the conversation. Yeah I really love street photography, something which I have done for 30 years now. Which of the tips is working best for you? Cheers Matt
Ah that is spectacular Ronaldo, glad to hear it. Always follow your nose, I often find, that I will come across a great scene, but then it takes me moving around a little, to find the most optimal angle, so, I think if you have gone all that way, it is wise to take a few more moments or minutes to tweak things from good - to excellent. All the best I look forward to hearing more about your journey. Cheers Matt
I'm learning, let's put it that way. It's fun and challenging. I did my first street photography vlog from a trip to Union Station a couple weeks ago. I'm mainly using a GH5 for photography.
So exciting, I still love photography as much as I did when I started over 30 years ago. You are are going to have a hoot, and I believe the GH5 is a great camera for stills and Vlogging. Do you use the GH5 for Vlogging too? Cheers Matt
Yeah Canon really seem to be on top of the video focusing, my Nikon D850 is not as good on the video focus as I would like to to be, and I am looking for another option, at the moment I am thinking about the Sony A7 III or A7S III when it is announced.
Hey Great video. I subbed. Learning from you and your channel I do Z06 Corvette videos and Trucking and Harley’s. Now incorporating Street Photography.
Matt Irwin Photography hey Matt I use the Canon 80D, Glide Gear DNA5050 Mavic Pro Hero5 GoPro. I’m using a 80-135mm lens. I’m really enjoying filmography and Street Photography.

I really enjoyed you taking us along on your shoots hearing your thoughts. I wish you would make more of these.👍
Awesome Karen, thanks for the feedback, what do you like most about this style of video? The tips or the general banter? Cheers Matt

Great Tips, I'm using some of them and... It's working very well. Thanks for share Matt
Hi Ronaldo, thanks for joining the conversation. Yeah I really love street photography, something which I have done for 30 years now. Which of the tips is working best for you? Cheers Matt
I used to give up easily and accept an ordinary result in my shots. And your tips 1 and 2 gave me a new perspective. I'm feeling more confident.
Ah that is spectacular Ronaldo, glad to hear it.

Good tips! I enjoyed your guided tour of the town and how you tackled it.
Cheers Wes, Thank so much for your input. Do you enjoy street photography? What sort of gear do you work with? Cheers Matt
I'm learning, let's put it that way. It's fun and challenging. I did my first street photography vlog from a trip to Union Station a couple weeks ago. I'm mainly using a GH5 for photography.

Matt Irwin Photography Ive been using my t5i for vlogging. The autofocus on it outperforms the GH5 for on the go vlogging.
Yeah Canon really seem to be on top of the video focusing, my Nikon D850 is not as good on the video focus as I would like to to be, and I am looking for another option, at the moment I am thinking about the Sony A7 III or A7S III when it is announced.
Very nice touring tutorial with good tips. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub Billie, and cheers. Thanks for joining the conversation. Matt
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing Matt :)
Cheers Scott, much appreciated. What sort photography are you interested in?

Cheer Marc, thanks so much, what sort of gear do you use for your filmmaking and photography? Cheers Matt
