1:18 I typically use the manual as a guide to purchasing a new camera. To look at how it works and features. Especially since now you will buy the camera online without ever looking at it in person.
@GeorgeHolden I usually start at Piccadilly station,then the gardens, Market st ,and make my way up to the Leica shop and then around the arndale centre and back to Manchester Piccadilly Every now and then I go around the gay quarter and china town Normally on a Saturday as that's when the more interesting people are about I've been a few times in the week but come away with nothing good
Great video. This is the only way I can get started on a photo walk some days, think up a mini project. One day it was all the doors in a small village! Didn't see the links for the books but got them from Amazon, thanks for that, holiday reading for me.
Hi George. Good talking points again and a big thumbs for book recommendations. It was interesting to hear, Andre D. Wagner, when he did 'Walkie Talkie' saying how much he admired Chris Killip. I am having some amusing conversations with photographers at the moment about how people perceive us based on our appearance when we are out taking pictures. Enjoy the rest of your week.
I read almost all instruction manuals of new products. I always discover functionality that would either cause problems later or not make me utilise the product properly.
Valerie Jardin has a great book titled "Street Photography Assignments". It's great for when im in a creative rut, gives purpose to my putings. Highly recommend it.
Also, don't forget to start and stop your paths at different times as you'll find that there will be different hot-spots at different points in time, and on occasion deviate to a side street to change the perspective of what you're shooting. And sometimes, go on that walk with no camera, and just look at the traffic flow. You'll be able to naturally spot the hot-spots with no issue.
Good vid, cheers. The 'Left Brain - Right Brain' thing that was popularised in pop-Psych in the 1970s, however, has no scientific support in relation to creativity and 'rationality'. Plenty of contemporary neuro-science research that debunks, or at least completely fails to prove, brain-laterality in those areas of 'personality'. Not that it particularly matters, but i can imagine people somehow straining to activate one side of the brain or the other - or shooting with their right eye because it's 'the creative' one!
The most recent camera I purchased as an instruction manual of well over 400 pages, so I'm afraid I have not read it all. Very complex machines these days.
7:46 "The right side of your brain is responsible for blablabla" Are you a doctor in neuroscience or a psychologist? Surely it is more prudent and relevant to explain photographic concepts with photographic concepts that you master very well, rather than beliefs based on nothing. Thanks for this video.
It's not exactly a neuroscience video is it? 😂 It's more of a useful way to break up the mental disciplines of shooting vs editing. Think less about exact words and focus more on the meaning.

I shoot a lot in Manchester ,and I admit I tend to stick to the same areas , I need to expand more
Where do you usually shoot?

My mistake, I removed them by accident! They're back now 😄
I'm with David. I need projects. :) Great post as always, George.
Thanks George. Just sent links to the two books to my hubby. He keeps asking what I want for Christmas
Wonderful!

Just wanted to let you know I bought both books and signed up for SkillShare. Great video.
You are officially a legend, thank you!
I love these hard earned insights from shooting in the field. 🙏
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice tips.. Thanks for sharing ❤😊
Thanks for watching!

Fair play!
Spooky! I bought those 2 books last week
Oh wow! I also picked up some extra new books from Aperture this week too!

Very true, I often forget my camera then see my usual spots a little differently too
yes. I do the looping!
Gimme the loop!
@@GeorgeHolden Same for me. I get dizzy sometimes.

Do you need authorization from people to be photographed?

Good point! A useful way to break up the practice anyway

Yep, more like phones now!
Learn the exposure triangle, and then how to make these adjustments on YOUR camera. Then go out and shoot, shoot, and shoot.
