    Great to see you back out with the Q2M! I really like #2 of the dancers, especially as your use of the portrait format is unusual with the 28mm. Also love the reflection of the women sitting by the water @3:19

    It’s a Russian behavior pretending to ignore a foreigner, which appears actually sometimes as quite impolite. But I can imagine that youngsters even appreciate when being photographed (you always see girls and woman posing for photos), while from more seniors you can get angry looks. Same when you are not in the center center of the city.

    • @therealsirrobin
      @therealsirrobin  3 года назад

      The question is if you could even tell that I am a foreigner. It's true what you said about younger people, especially girls seem to like it when you take their photo without asking.

    Nice shots. The real sir of street photography. I like your shots with the Leica M6 on film better. The Leica Q2 ist too clean, seems over sharpened, too contrasty and the grain is missing. What are your thoughts comparing the two Leicas?

    • @therealsirrobin
      @therealsirrobin  3 года назад

      I love shooting film in my M6 but I also enjoy shooting the Q/Q2M. Those makes things a lot easier. The contrast is not out of camera and you could get the look very close to film.

  • @martinliew6555
    @martinliew6555 3 года назад

    I saw you’re using Orange Filter lens which is also my favorite Filter lens. Perhaps you can try the Blue Filter lens which IMO yields good skin textures and tonality.
    For the train station where the morning sunlight shines in, the Orange Filter lens somehow neutralizes the warm tone and makes the whole image way too contrast, let alone showing shadow details. Not sure if a Blue Filter lens can make a better image result. Just a little suggestion. Cheers!

    • @therealsirrobin
      @therealsirrobin  3 года назад

      Martin, the RAW files have way less contrast and plenty of detail in the shadows. It's simply the look I was going for.

    For the people, i prefer Mexican with their daily life on your shots before. For Russian, they look so beauty but cold in the same time, but while that, they look free human in other side and do whatever something which they like. That's so interesting to street photography (I think..)in the huge cold city like Moscow. And as usual, you still did awesome shots, good job sir!👍🏼

    interesting video - I shoot in Moscow as well - street photo - with Q2M :) Overall it seems that street photo is not as developed here, due to the some degree of negativity, I even got stopped and harassed by the police in the subway last weekend for taking a photo of them. 28mm - you have to get close :) - keep up with the videos!! all the best!!

    Moscow is not Russia. People where get used to be in crowds and much tolerant to strangers, with cameras included. Never been in Mexico, but comparing to Toronto, Montreal, even Manhattan, street photography in Moscow was easier to me. You just have to learn to show respect.
