Flash in street photography is brave. I've seen Robin do it too. Holy. There's a lot of good shots here Hashem! Cheers 🍻
Thanks! Haha yeah Robin is great at what he does 😁
Now that was a novel presentation. Thank you. RS. Canada
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the photo at 1:44. Brilliant.
Thank you!
The photo at 1:19 really left me in awe. What an image 🙌🏽
HP5 is my fav film stock. I use it from 200 to 1600 on medium format. It is really versatile
Thoroughly enjoyed that. I much prefer that kind of street video with the narration style dialogue, and I imagine it would have allowed you to focus on shooting too which I thought showed in the quality of images that you made on the days shown. You're getting very sharp with the street captures, I really liked the aesthetic of the rain and flash too. Should definitely add more of these videos in the future. It's engaging to have the more evaluative talk, as though you're in the photographer's mind as the shooting takes place. Well done, man. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Ben! Yeah even though I wouldn't have minded doing some narration while shooting, it would have added another distraction beyond trying to remember to record with the gopro 😂 I wouldn't mind streamlining the process more and finding a better way though, while improving the footage.
Here is a real photographer with the purest Leica: here, no show, no cell, no autofocus, no digital, real, authentic. Cheer
Thank you!
Watching the video, reminded me of my college days, everything was almost unchanged… the great flinders st station…thanks for the unintentional nostalgic video… doing a street photo was great and inspiring
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thank you. Rather enjoyed this a lot. Keep well. That Leica winder seems worth buying.
Thanks! Yeah it's cut the reloading time in half at least, the one I use is from Soomu
Really loved this video. I need to get out in the rain and shoot again. It has been a while. That shot of the guy about to jump over the puddle was awesome.
Thanks Don!
This video was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it.
Oh I do miss that Melbourne weather! Great video
I really enjoyed this video, great photos. I enjoy watching photo walks.
Thanks so much! Hoping to do more
Cool video. Definitely like the rain flash photos
This was great. REALLY love the shots of the kids and also that first shot of the man with the umbrella In the rain.
Thanks Chris!
Yo. The bunch of photos with the kids jumping off the structure thingy 🔥
I misread the title !
I thought you were going to show some new development process, where you can use a change bag on the street to move the film from the body to a processing tank on the footpath .... and then use straight out Melbourne rainwater as a developing agent.
It's truly amazing what a diverse range of chemistry actually works on film development, so if Grade-A Melbourne rainwater also worked, I wouldn't be overly surprised. Film is the medium that keeps on providing surprises !
Really loved the shots with the flash during the rain
Lovely photos! Amazing how calmly you handled the changing conditions. I am nervous shooting people anyway and with the rain and flash would have been all over the place
Nice pictures 🙌, flash style like Bruce Gilden
Thanks! 😃
excellent work.... thanks for sharing.
The first shots with the kids are awesome! just kids being kids!
This was so enjoyable to watch Hashem! I definitely miss getting out on the streets of Melbourne. Thanks for sharing this, I’m living vicariously through you! 👍
The shots of the kids came out great. Beautiful flow from the formation of the subjects
Nice shots! 😊
oh man, haven't shot street in months (and probably wont for a while due to covid) but this has me looking forward to going back out! more of these please!
Great example of what makes a good photographer. Setting yourself up for the right photos. Planning before and during. Loved the photos!
Thanks Alex!
Thank you for sharing ! Love seeing what Melbourne looks like. My favorite photo in this video you create is the Spiderman dancing arm and arm with the old lady - Spiderman looking right at the camera. It's so timeless and it does a lot for me. So cool how there's a motion aspect to it.
Thanks for watching! Haha yeah a few people seem to like that shot, it was a fun moment :-)
Thanks for taking us along with you. This was great!
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video Hashem!
Great shots Hashem!
Thank you!
Wonderful work Hashem, both the video and the photography. Truly enjoyed that! Well done!
Many thanks!
First photos were brilliant. Well done!
these photographs are incredible! 🔥
Thank you!
Yay! This is so good. This type of content is so rare. The work is actually wonderful, and the video with it is perfect. Plus the technical details thrown in, too. A+ mate
Thanks so much!
Great enjoyment of a beautiful city! I place my Leica in aplastic bag..
Brave! I love the flash effect! Good one! SB-30 is capable one!
You actually got outside!! This was a fun video to watch. Awesome and you got some really nice street shots!! If you take the trouble to go play in the rain with your camera, you can get some pretty nice shots.... no pain, no gain.
Stumbled on this by chance, and I must say that I really enjoyed both the video, and, more importantly for me, the pics. A reminder of a world where it was important to get everything right and shoot at the perfect moment, rather than spray and pray in the knowledge that eye AF and ultra fast fps will work for you. At the end, your vision, skills, hp5 cum M-A make all this so much more valuable. Thanks!
Really great photographs! Enjoyed the video. Well done.
Thank you!
dude!!! those shots of the kids playing on the monuments (if that's what you'd call them)--those are first rate. great work. i also like the flash shots--you're braver than i am, maybe i'll get there some day (-:
You've a very good sense of composition , fast fingers to capture the right decisive moment :) I had a nice time watching this video :)
Hey, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great video!
Thanks!
I like your combination of shots with music. It really supports the pictures. Nice atmosphere! 😊
Thanks very much!
those first few of the kids in BW are amazing. love the flash work to. Not to sure about the directional flash in this case but the on camera flash definitely brings out the subjects more. Nice one
Thanks! 🙂
The added flash made for an interesting look! I’m thinking the people may have thought it was lightning 😅
Haha maybe, especially if they were a bit further off and saw it in their peripheral view 😅
@@pushingfilm Yep lol
Thanks for sharing. Good to see the streets of Melbourne. I'm back in the UK now
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed this so much I actually shed some tears. I lived in a big city (Mexico City) but I had to move back to where I'm from when the pandemic started, and watching this really made me miss walking and shooting there
Hey, sorry to hear and I hope you get to get back to it someday! I would recommend also watching the_real_sir_robin videos here on RUclips; he's made a lot of videos shooting in major Mexican cities pretty recently :-)
Love love love love love videos like this! More please Hashem :)
Great video and even better photos! I just got my M-A btw :)
Congrats!
Those rain shots man, so trying to finish off a roll of cinestill 800T in the rain but it isn't co ordinating with me :)
You'll get around to it 😁
Great video. You want to come over here to UK if you want more rain!
Wonderful video and some really great shots in there, Hashem! I've never experimented with flash on any of the Leicas I've had, but it looks like it was quite a bit of fun!
Hey Nick, thanks heaps man! Saw that you just uploaded a new video, keen to watch it 😁
@@pushingfilm thanks dude. Felt super rusty with it all. Hoping 2022 proves to be a good year for videos for me. Trying to be responsible with it all, so we shall see.
The flash photos are where the magics at... also the dance party merging haha.
Any tips on daylight manual flash use? Recently picked up a little Oly 35RC and a flash, keen to get creative with it 〰️
Thanks! Main advice is just do it,! Negative film is quite tolerant, and in daylight there's lower risk the flash will overexpose etc. I set the flash I'm using manually to the ISO and aperture value I'll use, and let it do the rest.
Nice video! Regarding the light leaks on HP5+, I've has some on the first few frames as well. My tip is NOT to retract the leader fully when rewinding as that helps the light seals to stay tighter ever so slightly.
Good tip! I think you might be onto something, will try it with my next rolls.
Very enjoyable vid Hashem :) Liked your voiceover and you taking us through both the shooting and settings but also the stories and color commentary on the neighborhoods and local facts :)
Also good on you for trying something new like the flash etc. I have shot some in bad weather both with my Leica Q and some other digital cameras in past but not that much with film yet, but have also gone into Stockholm to try and catch some nasty weather at times but mostly it has been with snow etc. I liked quite a lot of your images from this walk but i lean mostly towards the spiderman in costume shots and also a few i the rain was pretty cool. I actually never used a flash for street, and not sure i will but was interesting to see how people reacted ( or not ) and what it looked with the rain.
Nice to see you are able to walk around more now as well, must be even more special being able to and taking photos at the same time! Like eating cake on a rollercoaster, double joy ;)
Anyhow, great vid, look forward to more of these . I see you also get the Harekrischna train, we get that in "Old city" and other areas around Stockholm as well, and like you have sometimes followed them to see them interact with other interesting people hehe. Sometimes it bares fruit :D
/Martin the swede
I imagine shooting in the snow would be great! Thanks for the support as usual Martin, glad you enjoyed it :-)
@@pushingfilm No worries, thank you for putting out some enjoyable to watch during this crazy phase in your life :) Its pretty nice the first month or so with the snow, and you get quite inspired by it, after that you kind of hope its gone faster and long for the light of spring haha. But those sunny wintery days on the ice walking across the lake or just the really tough snowstorms are both magical to shoot or experience :)
Awesome video Hashem. Loved you narration. How do you like that winder (rewinder)?
Thanks! It's been good so far, saves time reloading
Nice video. Loved the shots with Spiderman and the Hare Krishna people.
Great video man - really enjoyable! When it comes to using sunny 16 with indoor or partially indoor scenes I really struggle to decide what to use without using a meter as backup. What equivalent aperture did you use for the scene with the lady stood by the train station exit?
Thanks! I used the lens wide open at 2.8 for that shot
I enjoyed your tour through Melbourne trying and then succeeding to find the rain. What worried me is the light leaks in your M-A. I’ve been considering buying a new film Leica M and now I’m not so sure. Thanks for showing it warts and all.
Thanks! That was light piping and was only on the first one or two shots, it can happen with any roll/camera during certain conditions: loading in bright sunlight, using a "film picker" when self-developing, or not purging more than one shot... All of which I did on these black & white rolls. In saying that, regular light leaks can happen on any cameras, and Leicas are no exception.
Nice! What flash are you using? Would love a video dedicated to using flash, something I have little experience with. Thanks!
It's A Nikon SB-30. Yeah I've been thinking to cover that in some way in a future video, still trying to figure out how or from what angle 😁
The photos are so good! I really like the ones of the kids. The construction is so wavy and you made some really good compositions with it! By the way, is the rewind lever worth it? I have a mp but always fear that it will ruin the paint.
Thank you! They are a bit pricey, so only worth it if the twisty rewind bothers you enough or you'd find the faster reload time worth it (which I do on the street especially)
Subscribed! Your photos are so good! Thanks for putting this up! But I just have 2 questions since I’m planing on getting a Leica m4-p myself, but I looked on RUclips, nobody talked about how to set the film iso on the camera body at all, would you kindly tell me how to do that? And 2nd question is, what type of flashlights you were using? Your photos turn out to be so good! I appreciate it!
Hey, thanks so much for watching! With the M4-P and M4 series of cameras you don't set the ISO because they don't have a light meter (sorry if I'm misunderstanding the question) This is the same case as the M-A I'm using in this video- the ISO dial on the back is just used as a reminder of what film is loaded. The flash I'm using is a Nikon SB-30
Nice ;)
Thanks for great video, may I ask how do you set the shutter speed in camera? Is that 1/50 flash sync speed? Also may I ask what is your setting for the flash?
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, I always set to 1/50 (or slower). The setting on the flash would depend on the aperture I'm using at the time and iso of the film. It has a little guide on the back to set the power accordingly.
Love your work. What flash do you use?
Thank you! I was using a Nikon SB-30 in this video, but have recently started to use a Lightpix Labs Q20II, which can be wireless
Do you still love your M-A or regret not getting ones with a light meter ?
Still love it, and haven't once regretted that 😁
@@pushingfilm Leica M-A is high up on my list to get next. I already own M6, so I thought why not try harder to shoot to really push myself with film photography.
@@SnapJimmy nice, I think they're equally good options 🙂
@@pushingfilm pushing film !!!
Hi. How do you setup your flash? I can’t do fully manual setting. And have been looking for how to setup the flash
Hey, I do use full manual in this case sorry! so it depends on the film ISO I am using, and the aperture + distance from subjects
Hello how can you deport a Flash ? Wich accesories do you need ? Thank you
Hey man, had to come back to this video to say your photos are great. There are so many photographers on here that make good RUclips videos but their photos are meh. You can do both well. Rare talent these days 👊🏻
Hey, thanks so much! Really appreciate it 🙂
Thank you for this very inspiring video - would you be so kind and give me some information on your flash settings for shooting in the rain? Thanks in advance :)
Thanks Thomas. I usually set the power and aperture to around F8, and the ISO accordingly on the flash!
may i know if you are using auto mode or TTL mode for flash?
Manual mode
How do you meter for flash photography?
I set it manually on the flash
haha Hare Krishna and Spiderman :D so good :D
What’s the flash sync speed on the MA
Around 1/50th
@@pushingfilm great thanks thinking of getting one.
@@cheynedahl6097 good choice 😁
Hello. What is the model of flash?
Nikon SB-30 🙂
I did not know the M-A was waterproof/water resistant.
I don't think it technically is. But, there's no electronics... and I try not to let it get soaked.
Mate, I can’t believe you didn’t get low for that bike and take few more shots. It was insane.
"Please excuse this angry rant".
Wait till the audience realises you put that in...
I said please excuse the rant you'll (you will) hear within a second of it starting. Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm fine with how I narrated that.
Any light leak is not normal, especially for such expensive camera
No I've seen it happen with many cameras close to the first one or two shots, especially since I don't purge many before I start shooting.
not really the fault of the camera.
It seems only chinese people live in Melbourne now day’s :(
