No. 6 - watching YT tutorials instead of taking photos :D I can see by myself - I watch tons of YT videos about how to photograph, but I go for a shoot very rarely :/
Thanks for the video, really needed to hear all of that! Especially the not to care too much about the photos thing. Last Saturday, I did a 3h hour photowalk in Brussels, had the best time!! Got back home, I hated almost all my shots and felt very angry at myself. And I went nuts on the editing too. So all the fun and good times were lost because I was mad at myself... for... enjoying myself doing shit?! 😂
You can't beat being out with the camera and your headphones on listening to something that helps inspire and bring out your creative side, Keep up the great videos and work.
nice video! one thing I do as "goal of the day" sometimes is to constrain myself in one technique. Be it zone focusing, sunny 16, or whatever. just to chill about what exactly is coming out of the day or session, but be sure that the skill I've planned, to be well exercised.
My junior soccer coach always said: "on the pitch you often have more time than you think" I still use that advice, but now in my street photography :)
All the good points you've made boil down to each of us enjoying our photography journey. Rushing, not planning, being too self critical are all signs that we are trying to take pictures not make photographs.
When you're married and get out every weekend I do concentrate my photography on the subject we are visiting. But when I go out on my own I just enjoy photography for the random subjects and interacting with the people I meet. It's the ultimate stress reliever.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Jack Jacob thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great video Roman. Can totally relate to rushing. I don’t like disturbing someone’s peace hence I take the photo instead of waiting for a better composition.
Not focusing about the end result really is true. Most photos I take in the streets looks like crap when I take it but then I put them in Lightroom and crop it a bit and edit the lightings it turns out to be a really good one
Every time I go out, I’m either with my wife or friends that wants to tag along. I’m rushing 100% of my photo. Having other wait for me or rush me became a hassle. Recently I feel like all my photos are complete shit. I think it’s time I stop taking photos and go have an adventure by myself. But it’s hard especially when you got a pregnant wife.
About rushing, I agree with you happened to me so many times. But sometimes what make the picture is very ephemeral. So what I now try to do is take the first shot as soon as possible then slow down move around think about composition and so on
Your advice is so refreshing to hear. Too many times I get frustrated with my photos, but as you say that is just one small part of the overall experience.
Another vid I needed to sit through. I have had two weeks of "These pictures are Crap," and becoming stressed about not having a result. Time to forget the result and take some random junk for the sheer hell of the enjoyment without thinking, "I aint got a result today." Thank you.
Good video, as usual. I just have a question. Actually, it’s not about this video but the previous one. There was a moment when you said (I’m paraphrasing here; I’m not usually use that kind of vocabulary) that you missed a good shot. Here’s my question. What exactly constitutes a “good shot” for you?” In other words, what makes it a “decisive moment.” I’m not a street photographer per se. I’m more into lifestyle and landscape. Still, sometimes I shoot something close to street photography, so I’m really curious. Maybe u can do a video about it. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment! That particular moment I was in a location where I know I can get a photo that I like and it is a matter of the right subject and light. In that moment as I walked round the corner, the light was there but I was about 5 seconds too late for the right subject. In general terms I would say give this video a watch I made last year about good / great photos...... ua-cam.com/video/t05-zr2eYZc/v-deo.html
So relate to this as a beginner. Coming from shooting with a phone to the X-T3, I feel like I stress over settings and as a result my composition suffers. And, composition is the thing I enjoyed the most when shooting with my phone. I don't have the complete confidence yet in fluid/candid situations in terms of settings. Hopefully the onset of spring and nice weather will help as I'll enjoy getting outside more. Thanks for the video! Rock On!
@@snapsbyfox Absolutely, so looking forward to spring weather. Winter in Pennsylvania this year was no fun! Too much shoveling! Have a great day...Rock On!
Great video👌my hands shake a lot whilst pressing the shutter button due to the pressure of capturing the moment in street photography and this pressure Sometimes ruins my shot!! Any tips would be appreciated 😊
Idk why you have a little Like and comments. You have pointed out all of my weakness and yes I have to admit it 😔 exactly all my weaknesses are in this video.
Some useful tips there Roman. When I go out with my camera it's a time for me to relax and do my own thing. That means like you I just tend to get into the zone and tune everything else out. Although it is sometimes good to walk around with others for the exchange of technique and composition ideas.
6. Always putting the subject’s face in the center of the frame because that’s where the AF point is. I still do this from time to time, it’s a constant struggle.
I really enjoy focusing on a technique for a photoshoot. I've gone out trying to capture motion blur (cars, trains etc), or trying long exposure with a tripod. It tends to focus my energy and dictate subject matter in a scene which as a beginner I find really helpful.
Great information Roman you hit all the good points. I have moved around a lot in my life. There is a great benefit to picking a place and going there to wander around taking photographs even if they are throw aways. Watching the people, the light and the activity shows us many different perspectives to capture
Great video with really good advice. The next wave of Covid hasn't hit America just yet (or a lot of people don't care just yet). But SOON we will have the same problem with our haircuts as you all. Lol. I actually resorted to shaving my head last March, and have done so since just so I don't have to worry about not getting a haircut.
The first point about slowing down and not rushing is sooo true! Good little reminder, nice video Roman!
Cheers man

Same!

@Jack Jacob It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out!

Yeah good point! Cheers
Great advice , thanks😊

Awesome and useful video Roman as usual! By the way don't worry about your hair, we are in the same situation 😁

Rushing the shot is my biggest mistake.

You always have this hair, but I always been ignoring it because of the INFO you have
All good tips, thanks.
Cheers!
The most fun part is if u can discover gem💎 from random crab pictures!! Those usually turns out amazing
So true!

@@snapsbyfox Thank you, Roman! It worked:).
IDK what to say, so random compliment go!
*Brilliant*
Thanks! 😃
The journey is better than the destination........
Rushing, mea culpa; definitely my worst problem. I never worry about getting a fantastic picture and I almost always get at least a few I love.
So funny because just before you commented on your hair I thought 'Roman's hair is getting long.' Great tips by the way!

Oh that confidence will come with time. Just a matter of shooting more and spending more time out with the camera

Roman have you shot with the 50mm F1.0 yet?
nah not yet. Keen to try but not on my priority list at the moment tbh

Hi Roman! What’s the app name that you introduced in 6:34 ?
Photopills
Excellent video. Don't rush. Don't expect to be perfect.
You taught me how to use my XT-4 and I still use that settings video from time to time, thanks!
6. having kids
Thank you. This got me thinking about photography.
Hey what happen to your hair? 😜 great video and tips!
you don't want to know lol
Good video
6. Always putting the subject’s face in the center of the frame because that’s where the AF point is. I still do this from time to time, it’s a constant struggle.
Truth!
Nice one 🔥
My father always told me - "Do it fast, but don't rush". I belive that how you become efficient.
very true!
I really enjoy focusing on a technique for a photoshoot. I've gone out trying to capture motion blur (cars, trains etc), or trying long exposure with a tripod. It tends to focus my energy and dictate subject matter in a scene which as a beginner I find really helpful.

Great points! Thanks for sharing.
The photo at 8:03 of the silhouette of the guy with the hat, I really like that photo.
Cheers!
I didn’t procrastinate to watch this video
how are you just gonna call out all my bad habits on the whole ass internet just like that

I felt that thumbnail 😂

yeah! he's back!!

5:14 that is an amazing photo hahaha
🏆#1 - Shooting photos with the hood reversed on the lens! 📸
With the camera upside down and lens cap on for good measure (but yeah I actually never even us Elena hoods any more at all haha)
