    Really really enjoyed watching this. As an amateur hobbyist is was blow away by how good some of the photos were especially the guy/hand with sunglasses and the priest with the black beard. Superb. Best regards

    • @timjamiesonphotos

    I missed more shots than I made the last time I was at the farmer's market. I need to start fishing for images instead of hunting for them. Sit on a spot and wait for something to happen.
    Thanks for giving me things to think about.

    I particulary love the pictures at 09:00 and 09:17! I love the colors. My questions: How do you get such well lit pictures inside the buildings like the church? (09:37) I am struggling a lot with indoot pictures because my shutterspeed has to be so low that everything seems blurry. Do you mind sharing your ISO/f-stop? And also when do we get a editing tutorial from you? :D

    • @timjamiesonphotos

    Thank you, really enjoyed this video. Funnily enough I was in Tbilisi recently and loved the city.
    One thing I struggle with is taking photos of people on the street, it makes me nervous that it will lead to confrontation and also because I like my privacy. Do you ever have issues like that and how do you work to overcome them?

    • @timjamiesonphotos
      @timjamiesonphotos  13 дней назад

      It’s a great city! Not at all, depends how you approach it, if you’re bold and don’t try to hide and you have a smile and open body language then most always the time it’s fine. Very very rarely have a confrontation at all :)

    Another great video! Thank you. It looks like many of the people you photographed were with your flippy screen turned up, so you’d be more discreet. Right? I wish I were as observant of the quick captures you managed, so you’ve helped me to be more alert to those opportunities.

  • @paulm8157
    @paulm8157 4 месяца назад +1

    Cool pics and commentary. B&W of guy w/monkey is special, IMO - they almost look alike. What’s the difference between documentary street photography and photojournalism?

    • @timjamiesonphotos
      @timjamiesonphotos  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you, glad you like that one. For me photojournalism is more about documenting an event, or a place or a people, and can include candid or non-candid photos. Street photography generally is snapshots of life in a public place candidly, but photojournalism and street photography can cross over depending on your approach

      If I went back to Morocco I would take completely different pictures now. The photos I used to take are simple and now I find boring. My old work was easy to please folks who just like pretty pictures. If you don’t like or don’t get what I’m doing now that’s cool, but I love it
