Creative constraint - that's what photography is all about. Less is always more.
We couldn't agree more! 👏
That limits possibilities. Sometimes less is less and often boring.
I like those people walking on the streets, very natural
Street photography is tons of fun! 👍
21 mm is focal length for Medium Format. the equivalent angle of view in 24x36 is that of a 35 mm lens (approximately). Regarding the angle of view, 21mm in 24x36 is therefore not equivalent to 21 mm in Medium Format.
The Zeiss Biogon lens mounted on the 903 seems to be a 38 mm. The equivalent angle of view in 24x36 is therefore approximately 24 mm
A Medium Format film camera (just like any other format) photographs indifferently in black and white or in color. It is the film that you insert in the film back that determines whether you are in color or in B&W
thanks for your input. 👍
The Hasselblad SWC (Super Wide Camera) 903 takes the standard Hasselblad Film back, so it shoots with whatever film you load, not just B&W.
Thanks for this video Les. I’m weighing up the options for later in life and this option is something I’ve been thinking about.
later in life? do it now! 🥳📸👍
Very cool! Thank you.
You bet! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
shooting from the hip with a mirrorless camera is so much easier than with a DSLR. Face detection autofocus makes a big difference
You're right about that! 👍
Thanks!
And a big thanks to you for the very kind gesture! 🙏🎉
What gear was Leah using?.
Hi Ian, she's using a 24-105mm on an older Sony A7 body I believe.
Creative constraints use film 🎞️ and one focal length.
Sure! Great idea! 👍
Just be more confident.
Hope the camera in front of you as if you are shooting a video. Nobody is bothered and then fire away.
Another tip, find a call background. Hope the camera ready and wait until someone walks in the frame.
Yes indeed! Confidence helps! 👍
I have understood the new Swiss privacy law that came in 5(?) years ago as meaning that photographing strangers that are identifiable required their prior agreement. Is this not the case? has it been re-interpreted now?
Such a requirement for prior agreement makes street photography effectively impossible. It becomes portraiture. Hiding faces might be our only option. ;-)
It's so different from image to image. There's a lot of ways to photograph people whereby their identity isn't even seen. Leah has lots of examples of this in her portfolio. Add to that, the definition of "invading privacy" leaves some wiggle room in my opinion. I don't even agree with some of the suggestions on the Swiss gov't website, such as "use a telephoto lens to avoid invading a persons privacy..." (The decription of the law) doesn't seem so well through IMHO). 🤷♂
If it's enforced, street photography is dead. Hiding faces diminishes the whole effort.
@@yeohi agreed.
What's Charlie Sheen doing in Zurich???
Don't quite follow you there..? 🤔
🤔 Ok: Only 1 picture of Lea was pretty good (framed scene), the Hasselblads are amazing... mmmhhh?
hey now, I think you may want to have another look. A few of Leah's images have won street photography contests. 📸👌
Is this some sort of parody for a comedy TV show? It made me laugh so it could well be ...
we'll take it as a compliment, thanks! 🤗
You know you can shoot colour on the SWC too, right?😂
Yes, great point! 😅👍
colour film for that format was always low speed and very expensive.
@@Birdboi1910 is 400asa “slow”? Also, it wasn’t always “very expensive”.
@@Birdboi1910 I'm with you Dave. I think TriX would be the move for me if I had an SWC. 👍
@@streetwalkerphoto 400 ASA is fast by 70’s standards (Kodachrome was 25 or 50) but not fast enough to get small apertures (for depth of field) in dull weather. Of course current digital cameras (actually also 10 year old ones) are a whole different level.
You might just want to check the laws in Switzerland, because I think you'll find what you call "all right", isn't.
Everyone should, indeed. We're confident that nobody's privacy was violated, but it never hurts to double check in one's local area. 👍
