You are probably the best street photographer on RUclips. I can feel the experience youre having while youre taking it in ways I dont feel from others. The music helps. Its a great feeling to experiment, trial and error for the right slower shutter speed on the street. I hope you keep doing it. Thanks for the advice on getting a pro camera app.
This was awesome - I shoot with a Leica Q2 (which I love), but wanted to play a little more with different approaches. Really looking forward to trying this out. Love your work!
@@doodlenov a slightly technical explanation: the exposure triangle relies on shutter speed, iso, and aperture for the exposure of your image. Aperture being the one part of the exposure triangle determined by your lens. Generally kit lenses (the lenses that come with a camera in a starter kit) have weak aperture performance and would require you to shoot at a higher iso, or slower shutter speed, to get the correct exposure for the image. I hope this helped you understand!
I'm always complaining that where I live is too boring to take good photos, and here you are making all those beautiful shots just by standing in the same spot for hours. Wow, that's impressive!
Vietnam is amazing for street photography. I took so many shots there. Not all places are as appealing/encouraging. But yeah, guess we could always try
recently I was at a rave, and my camera was ignoring my shutter settings and stopping down to 1/10 to 2s shutter speed, but the results were amazing. later at home I found the settings that did this, but I learned to be brave with slower shutterspeeds. the stage light worked as a flash (or several) fixing a person's face despite the long exposure (so maybe use flashes), another thing, I couldn't use autofocus, because it was to dark. Ricoh's snap focus is a godsend, (bascially quick access manual focus, but with distances). F4 is even enough, since the subject is rarely sharp anyway. and since you anticipate your subject, you can just set it to 2,5m and always bring yourself to that distance. definitely try manual focus!
Frederik, I absolutely love your videos and mostly your photography. You make me want to head straight outside and take photos. Absolutely beautiful photo's here. I actually loved the colour one of the girl with the red lipstick.
Love this! And Hoi An is such a treat for a photographer... Been experimenting with street photography from the hip a lot, alway in manual on F8 / F11 and focussed on about 2 meter distance. I think the subjects will stand out in the frame whatever F-stop you use because the background will have motion blur anyway with this technique. So why not take out 1 variable and get everything in focus 😊 I use a Fujifilm X-T20 and the electronic shutter does sometimes warp my images when there is fast movement in the shot. Cheers
It's requires a lot of practice to nail subjects you want to focus! I tried this technique and nailed only one in six or seven shots and all of the shots were made on film and perfected on two or four occasions in a single day photo shoot! All on Kodak 100asa daylight color film! You don't have to use too low shutter speed to get substantial amount of blur around the focused subject; only that you need some more light to use higher shutter-speed even 1/125th of a second could bring out a wonderful blur behind the subject! I made them shoot with a 50mm f/1.2 lens at around 8am in the morning with 1/125sec or 1/60sec shutter speed and quite successful in getting a few blurry shots! The larger brust with electronic shutter may give you as many shots as aplenty, you don't require, and you may end up with a clear picture instead of blur because the subject hasn't showed much movement in each frame with respect to the burst speed (maybe slower)! You tend to halt the subject in between shots while on burst giving the subject and the other objects stand almost still with the least possibility of motion blur you want! And the electronic shutter with high speed make the SD card full sooner in making fewer shots in comparison to slower burst rate prompting you to change the card! Wide angle lenses are advantageous to capture the subject while moving the camera horizontally like on a tripod because of the wider area of coverage crams in more objects to be blurred and gives you more space for your subject to go across the wide frame! Prime lenses like 16mm to about 35mm lenses give you 24mm to 52mm full frame coverage! When on a trolley, like your roller skates, or from a open hood vehicle could be used for a pronounced effect of blurry objects but the subject, moving at the same speed with the camera! Fast lenses are specially helpful in low light situations!
not only is your content inspiring and I learn so much, but also your presence as a person in your video's is so kind and curious, open and heart filled! Love your work!
Very cool video. Definitely one to keep in the back of the mind. The end results really did remind me of 1960s modernist photography and '60s photojournalism.
Thank you. I really love the look of these your fotos. I take alot panning shots like this as well, i just like the look. Regarding elektronic vs mechanical shutter: on my a6400 subjects are sometimes distorted when using electronic shutter, this is due to the way the sensor is read out. Another thing that can be helpful is to utilize trackingfocus to lock in on your "target" before the fact. Again, thanks for your great video(s) and images Clemens
I'm new in photography and you have inspired me to try new things, thanks you! Thank you for explaining your "technical" process and feedback. You're the only one that does it and is a blessing!
Thanks Frederik This is great and you have me exited. I do B & W street and this looks great with terrific results. Took me back 50 years when used to go to car races and pan the speeding cars getting that blurred background action look.Have subscribed.Cheers from Australia.
Absolutely a great job Frederik! I love that kind of photos as it also particularly well renders the effervescent vibe of Vietnam. I am living in Sai Gon and I will try that without delays!
Great vid. Loved the shots. I'm a huge slow shutter speed fan. Highly recommend using manual range focus and a small aperture. Your success rate goes up and you still get separation bc of the motion blur. You also control the amount of light hitting the sensor, so don't need an ND filter so much
This was a super inspiring video for me. I’ve been out trying to utilize the technique… it can be very challenging to fill the screen like you did. Thanks for sharing
as a Leica shooter I rely on zone focusing at times. I think for this scenario shooting at f4 on manual focus and staying in the same zone will solve multiple problems at the time.
I can't even describe how incredible this video is!! It's just like a photography class. Thanks for making that. I just arrived at your channel, cheers from Brazil
Reminds me of a mild Olga. Fun style to play with for sure. I like shooting with a mellow extension tube on my blad. Totally different look. But same genre.
Great video! Thank you for making it. Some really good tips and food for thought in there. I've done a little of this type of photography in the past and I was just thinking about getting back into it, which is how I ended up clicking on your video. In my admittedly limited experience using this method, I've had better results using manual focus, preset to a distance that works well for my setting, and a high f-stop (usually f11 or higher). I initially had the same concerns as you regarding depth of field, as I tend to use a low f-stop to get better subject isolation. However, I quickly realized that the isolation I get from tracking my subject is more than enough, as everything else ends up motion blurred. Another advantage of using a high f-stop is that you are limiting the light going into your sensor, and because of that I haven't had a need to use a ND filter.
Electronic shutter can create weird banding and discoloration effects while indoors. Mostly under fluorescent lighting, in my experience. I ruined some wedding shots this way. However, I don't believe it should matter outdoors. Great shots btw! You have a new subscriber!
Just awesome Frederik. Thank you for this and all your other videos. I eagerly await each one you make. Your vision, ideas, and enthusiasm in the street are truly motivating and educational. Great work.
The woman you asked to walk towards you with her hat on is stunning, and I loved the pictures you took of her. I really enjoyed this video. I'm going to try the slow shutter speed myself.
Great video! I love how you interacted with the people. It would be interesting to see how this works with MF lenses and zone focusing. Might have to give it a try!
I really enjoyed this video, your passion is clear and contagious! Though I can't use all of the information you provide as I shoot exclusively on a mobile phone, you do share a lot of general knowledge that is very appreciated. It's also great that you take us with you out onto the street, I think seeing the context and how you see the moment is incredibly valuable for understanding. Looking forward to more from you!
Hello Frederik. Such a great video. Loved the images you showed to us. I appreciate the way you explained your thinking and technique behind the pictures. Looking forward to more videos. Cheers John.

I was in a cab, backseat, taking some single photos on a Super8. 90% came out bad, all out of focus or everything blurred, but 2 came out really good. In color, it takes you to Wong Kar Wai world and in b&w, David Lynch's Elephant Man. It has a dreamlike look and if you ever want to recreate one of your dreams, this would do it.
Loved creating this video and hope you enjoy it! This is the ND filter I use: geni.us/NDFilter1.

So few cameras have a built-in ND filter - one of the reasons why I like the Canon G12.
This was awesome - I shoot with a Leica Q2 (which I love), but wanted to play a little more with different approaches. Really looking forward to trying this out. Love your work!
I think the main appeal of slow shutter speed photography is that this is where my kit lens can shine!
hahahahahah FACT
cam you please explain why? Im new to photography

Haha
Thanks for telling me it was B+W; as my screen is set it grayscale, so I never would have known 😅
2:32 this photograph is phenomenal, you inspired me to try this out tomorrow!
Glad to hear! Thank you!
I really liked that one too.
Agreed. The best shot.
1:43 superb photo 🤌🏼🤌🏼

Means a lot and thanks for taking the time to write that. I think the color version is one of the best photographs I’ve taken in long - I agree :)!
That was my favorite as well, both in color and black and white. Very nice photograph.
I've very rarely commented on a video, but it's worth it to say how impressed I am with your shots and your explanation of the technique. Thanks much!

Frederick this is brilliant.
I've always been inspired by photos that look like a charcoal sketch or a smooshy Monet painting.
Very inspiring.
Movement, blurriness and motion are part of life, something, that in modern times, we tend to forget. Beautiful photos
As a video editor, I can say I've heard this music track 1,000 times lol (it is indeed one of the best out there)
Hello Master Video Editor Sir, where does one find all these cool chillhop music for these street photography RUclips videos?
@@kevinsim1514 probably Epidemic Sound, but one thing you can do is using Suno AI to create your own for free
great video as always. the woman with the hat was amazing what a good sport
Love that hat!
I see a future photo 😊 zine/book called 1/10 coming soon !! Great ideas and beautiful photos especially the one girl with the hat!!
That would be cool! Thanks a lot!
@@FTrovattenI’d buy one from you !
Some great photos throughout. I kept thinking of Wan Kar-wai films :)
Very cool video. Definitely one to keep in the back of the mind. The end results really did remind me of 1960s modernist photography and '60s photojournalism.
6:07 is my pick! Gorgeous!!
Lovely! Frederik always so confident!

I love the results and the overall video! Especially the music, the mood and in-depth explanations are fantastic!
Appreciate it a lot!
Absolutly gorgeous, beautiful and astonishing pictures! Congratulations! 👏👏👏
SUPER awesome photos man! Do more of that because it’s so much more expressive and candid. It’s like the old French masters. Love it.
The photos are beautiful. They have an organic, film vibe.
Wow can't wait to try this. Love black & white, the intimacy with mood is beautiful😊

I love this style of photographs, I have taken some and I am very happy with them. I feel like they look a lot like painting.
Very exciting, reminds me of Ernest Haas style which I love. Well done sir
you have blown my mind with this video. thank you for the major inspiration.
Ty!
For me, that's the #1!
It's peaceful and stressful at the same time.
Well done, Frederik.
Cheers from Brazil. 😁

Thanks so much!
Wonderful, your explanation is easy understanding! You have made street photography fun and interesting. ❤❤❤
The shot /frame at 08:06 is so beautiful! Really love this series! Well done! 👏👏
Appreciate it Daniel!
slow shutter speed shines when we want to isolate subjects as well as impress on moving actions. Magnificent Hội An :)
Thank you for taking the time to talk through your technique and learnings - so helpful! Great video.
one of your best videos ever … great idea and inspiring explainations … well done!
Love to hear it! Thank you!
Love this kind of pictures. Doing it a lot of myself
Thank you for this. I was wondering what type/style of photography I should enjoy this weekend and this video inspired me to try this.
Good inspiration, Frederik! The lesson of the process being a bit boring is interesting. It's all about the end result. Thank you!
amazing video and great reflection in the end. Slow shutter speeds add so much character to a photo

the BW tone is the feast for the eyes. those grainy is nice - a film era look

So love of this kind of video! It is an enjoyment to watch it!
Thank you so much for this video. I like the style you get!
You are so welcome!
I’ve never seen Hue in such a vibe like these, really inspirating and worth of doing so. Hope to see more of your works. I really love its
Thanks . Another great video Frederik many thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot! Much appreciated ❤️
Greetings from Brasil my friend, i love you input, thanks!
Appreciate it!
Beautiful shots and you made me excited to try out this technique ASAP!
Totally inspiring - panning street portraits! Can't wait to try this. Thank you
Thanks for this idea! It's definitely worth a try!.
beautiful and inspiring
Same as your Thailand videos, these bring back so many memories. I visited Hue over 10 years ago and I loved the place. Great content.
Just awesome Frederik. Thank you for this and all your other videos. I eagerly await each one you make. Your vision, ideas, and enthusiasm in the street are truly motivating and educational. Great work.
Love this Frederik, great ideas and thanks for always showing the shutter speeds on each photo.
Glad to hear that’s appreciated and not a waste of time hah!
Very nice work! I did slow shutterspeed street phtotograpy recently in Tokyo (but without the Drag-along effect) and liked the results.
Thanks! I learned some ideas on the slow shutter. Will try those soon❤
The woman you asked to walk towards you with her hat on is stunning, and I loved the pictures you took of her. I really enjoyed this video. I'm going to try the slow shutter speed myself.
Thanks for this technique 👌 photos become instant classic
This video really grabbed me. Great to see something different . Very presented 👏🏼
My favourite video so far 🙌🏻🔥 Amazing work Frederik!
Thank you! And thanks for all the help with the camera work! ❤️
Very informative video, and your photos are so good. I will come back to this video every time I go out to shoot
Very good work. I love and i'll try. Thanks Frederik :)
Glad you liked it! Good luck
wow...great explanation at shutter speed and camera movement
Love the idea of this video !! If one day I have the occasion and conditions to make it I will ! Really inspiring
Great video! I love how you interacted with the people. It would be interesting to see how this works with MF lenses and zone focusing. Might have to give it a try!

Thanks for sharing. I rather like this style and I'm already trying it out.
Really inspiring! Congratulations!
Wow, thank you, outstanding images & video!
Really cool photos! It was nice seeing your thought process and seeing you also figure it out as your day went along
Thanks a lot! And welcome to the channel! Hope you stick around. I have many cool videos planned :)!
This technique is awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'll definitely try it as soon as I walk down the street this week.

I love this technique and the first time I tried it was by accident. It was on a super8 camera, so I couldn't see the results until it came and I was happy. I was in a cab, backseat, taking some single photos on a Super8. 90% came out bad, all out of focus or everything blurred, but 2 came out really good.
In color, it takes you to Wong Kar Wai world and in b&w, David Lynch's Elephant Man. It has a dreamlike look and if you ever want to recreate one of your dreams, this would do it.
