    I really like it how right at time stamp 4:10, you showed what you were doing with the “lowering” your shutter speed so you could get some motion blur. This helps me as I am a beginner photographer that is absorbing as much tips and tricks as I can to do well as I go out to shoot street photography. 👍🏼

    Wow your photos remind me so much of Saul Leiter. Really been loving what you've been posting on IG and youtube. Also you somehow manage to nail an almost kodachrome look with Fuji that is pretty hard to make without looking cheesy or having an uncannyness to it. Thank you for the inspiration and really enjoying your work recently!

    There at the beginning of the video there is that exit from the subway station, man, there you could explore a lot. It would certainly leave excellent photographs, and even inside the station. Here in São Paulo, Brazil, we like to explore train stations, subways and bus terminals, it makes for good pictures.

    I was just in NYC over the last weekend with X100V. I was with my friends so I couldn’t take as many photos, but NYC is definitely the place with many inspirations and subjects to capture.
    Really inspired me to play around with my other lens and X-T4 to try other than 35mm.

    • @FaizalWestcott
      @FaizalWestcott  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Joseph! I don't really know if I will because I'm not exactly technical when it comes to lenses. For me the main reasoning was I don't think there's any other lens option out there that's native Fujifilm mount that is 18-50 and this compact/light. My only con so far is no aperture ring

    • @Joep00

    It’s a good day to wake up to a new video! Awesome shots. I recently sold my larger cameras because of how unsafe I’ve felt lately and just went with the two ricohs and the teleconverter. Have you ever felt the same? I’m a 4’11 woman and like to shoot alone 😔 so it’s been kind of rough ever since Covid it seems like.
    Also! Have you ever tried artichoke pizza?! It’s what I look forward to the most when I visit my wife’s family in NYC and then street photography 💁🏻‍♀️📸
