Thanks do much! I appreciate you taking the time 🙏🏽😊

Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS point & shoot🙏🏽

Rod! Great to hear from you. It does feel better to share ideas than to hold ideas. I like going thru the process.... I'll always carry the feeling of indecisiveness when it comes to choosing bw or colour. My hope is that my storytelling keeps improving, and the work will land where it does. 🙏🏽👍🏽 Cheer, Rod!

Much appreciated. Thank you.🙏🏽

Love and appreciate, King! Great to hear from you. I hope the young family is well and good.

thank you!

Chris! It gives me some relief knowing that I'm not the only one out here tryna make sense of my output shortcomings on youtube. Your flow seems familiar to many of us. You said it best, "we don't need the polish, we need you". I hope my video inspires you to try the same. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Chris!

@@tahaphoto - you totally know it! Thanks for putting yourself out there. Even THAT can be tricky. Glad you shared!

Ain't that the truth. Whenever I think less and do more... I do MORE! 👍🏽💪🏽🙏🏽

Kostya! I hope you write a book with all your stories and insight into street photography. I truly appreciate your perspective. I agree with you on the SENSOR having to be MONOCHROME, if RIcoh ever does this, I'm completely onboard. I want to shoot more film, I really do. I hope the more chill format will help me out at achieving this. I have a few rolls that I will use next week. Any reccos for film stocks you swear by for BW? I like Tri-X, JCH and Kentmere 400 so far. Keep sharing! We all appreciate it, my friend!

@@tahaphoto Thank you, Taha! BW film is variable depending on the mood. ISO100 will give most crisp and classy look. But it requires things to be static. For walking I used mostly ISO400 films at the box speed during "summer" light. For "winter" light, well, absence, I pushed same ISO400 films at 1600 and 3200 ISO. This was adding muddiness. But must moody-muddy film I used was TMAX3200. It is the bw film on its own. And doesn't only ment for the darkness. If you have 3200 rated film, use regular color filters to bring shutter speed down. x2 green filter before the lens will bring ISO to 800. I used mostly Kentmere 400 for the box speed. And HP5+ for pushing.

Brilliant insight. Thank you, Kostya! I will implement. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. you right, one day at a time. I hope to stick with this format as it does feel freeing. We'll see, Junior! What are you shooting these days? BW or Colour? Thanks for sharing!!

Hai! I appreciate your honesty. I realize over time that I simply can't commit to one or the other. Whenever I do, I yearn for the format I'm not in. Such is life! I feel colour will always have a special place for me especially when I think back to my childhood. Vintage 80's colours always get me. Vintage Toronto shaped me. BUT I love the stories I tell when I do focus in of BW. All part of the journey I guess? What type of photography are you currently into?

@@tahaphoto I get what you mean - and I have to admit, a b&w done right is hard to beat. I like all the genres - if it’s got soul to it, I like it! But lately I’ve been getting pulled toward more documentary style photography.

Amazing. I can appreciate how you go with the flow.🙏🏽🫡

Hey Robert, great idea with the newsletter. Ted Forbes does a lovely job, you're right. Been sub'd for years to AoP. You think you'll always lean to BW? I love both at different times. -_- Thanks for sharing!

Roger! Rich contrasting colours will always pull you in. lol I'm there with you. I just wanna share more. Some vids will be polished but that just can't be the norm. I hope to keep this relaxed format going. It actually felt weird uploading the same day that I recorded. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Alexandra! I appreciate the feedback. I will keep improving this more relaxed approach. More videos... I promise. Thanks for tuning in and good luck shooting this weekend.🙏🏽

Black and white feels better especially with stories.

@@cgxlmedia no lies. BW is built for storytelling.

No lies told. The GR II is damn special. I'm onto the GRIIIx now and I'm really enjoying it BUT it can't replace the GR II (i know the focal lengths are dif) but its the feel too, Like you said. Thanks for sharing!

I reserve the flash for indoors. This camera shines when the sun is hitting your subject/s. I plan to make a few more vid with it!

thank you very much!!! I love the wide. Have you tried the printers?? Amazing!

Indeed, Nick. Snap focus can be a great help! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll chk you short in a bit.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

That's dope! I hope the camera helps you tap in to your creativity 🙏🏻🙏🏽

I believe so... the GR Digital (prior) was 8mp but I don't think it had effects mode.

My friend! Thanks for sharing your street photography truths.🙏🏽 I agree with you. Harsh light poses different problems for everyone. Tbh, finding moments simply comes mostly by being out there. Good light, bad light or in-between. The act of being outside puts you ahead of most ppl. Have you tried staying put at your "ideal location"? It's almost like you're controlling the environment so when an interesting subject does enter your frame there are fewer surprises. As I was saying in the video, Auto-white balance can be your friend so you can focus on the moment not the light. Oh, and try shooting raw + jpeg. This way, you can tweak at home as well as try out a recipe or filter in real time. This also teaches you exposed the light. Thanks for the kind words. Hit me up with any other thoughts, I'll help if I can.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks, Roger. I feel it does come in handy most days. So many days I missed shooting because I looked at the light outside.🤦🏽‍♂️ Never again. I just shoot any day that I'm free. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I appreciate you watching my video. I hope you can get out and about. That's literally half the battle with photography. 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽

Thx my friend. 🙏🏽

I only shoot in bright ass sun light lol. Its FREE, no electricity or studio required :D. If you are doing faces find shade, thats all. You capture so much more detail in bright sunlight, that's why people who shoot wildlife and birds like to shoot at midday you get sharp and crisp details. People are pretty ugly thats why we have to hide the extreme details with softer light 😆😆. Everything else looks fantastic when sun is at 45 degree angle mid day ,just have to find the right angle thats all.

@@socksonfeet8125 Yup, the shade is a huge help. You can def keep your costs down as a photographer if you shoot in the bright sun outdoors. Though, it does pose its problems/ challenges in the winter months. 🥶Now, "people are pretty ugly" is a wild take. 😯I've seen and met some beautiful ppl in my day. lol Anyway, I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. Peace and love.✌

Yes and no. I was just making the point that we shouldn't stop shooting because we don't have favorable light. We need to shoot when we can. Many times that when the light just isn't ideal. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏽

@@tahaphoto I don't consider the lighting when it comes to street photography. I don't think anyone should.

@justineaves1977 the act of getting out to shoot should trump all cards. So you have a point. I'm still trying to drive home the point that you ahold make the most out of your situation. 🙏🏽👍🏽

Amazing! You're very welcome 🙏🏻

Amazing! I hope you enjoy them. Your feedback is always welcome, friend. ✌🏽🖤

Thank you. Nice to look back on these.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Great question. My extended recipes have those answers. Just email me.🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes! For sure. Pls email me for the extended recipes info@tahaphoto.com 🙏🏻

Marc! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Awesome story. I can't wait to pick up the wide later this summer.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Definitely edited.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@tahaphoto thank you

@@tahaphoto how do you edit these photos? i am a new photographer and i'm just 16 years old i want to edit these photos but i dont know how to, please help me out.

@asmigaur1406 editing your own photos takes being curious. I cool hack when starting out is to edit one image with a handful of different filters. Each filter will give your image a different feel. Once you find a filter you like start editing like that. The basics are contrast, highlights, shadows and saturation. Move your dials to the left and right (- or +) until you get the hang of it. Any editing app will work. Snapseed is great and is a free app. Google it! Hope this helps!!!!🙏🏽✌🏽

@@tahaphoto thank you so much sir, helped me a lot, lots of love and support!

Great question! Thanks for asking. It's also important to always ask questions we don't know the answer to. 🙏🏽 THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: 1. Once you finish shooting all the photos on your roll of film, you'll need to rewind the roll. (Instructions on youtube). 2. Find a camera story that scans and develops film. Google a place close to you. 3. Once they scan and develop they will email you the photos from that roll. 4. You will now have jpegs that you can post online.😊 I hope that helps! Let me know.

Yup. It's a neighbiurhood staple from time. ✌🏽😊

Email me... I got you. info@tahaphoto.com

@@tahaphoto Hi, didn't got it.. Thanks man

Ok. I appreciate that. 👌🏽
