Yes, absolutely Lucasz, that level of technical discussion is really refreshing and useful, it would be great to have these little plugs explaining things more in depth in more of your videos (ok, not in all of them ,but when it is suitable). As long as it does not take over the rest of the content it's fine. I also appreciate very much that when you are not sure of something you readily admit it and learn from others too, despite your experience and obvious expertise. Great attitude. Many thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much! I will keep adding technical bits when appropriate as you say. And I try mix confidence with humility. I am always finding out new stuff at surprising moments. A long time ago I was much more 'sure' of my knowledge and one more than one occasion that lead to making a fool of myself haha. So, I've learned to always leave the door open to learning something from others.
@@EYExplore Great, sounds very "Zen-like" if I can use the expression... So does the "The Humility-Confidence SeeSaw" reference, he he he :-). A sign of maturity etc. etc. Btw I am astounded by how attractive the city night scape in Japan is, with all the accumulated layers of light and dirt and machinery and humanity, and how photography can bring all that to the fore in so many different ways. So very glad you are sharing all this with us. Also extremely jealous, I have to admit (in a good way...), of people like you who have learned the language and can fit-in, to a certain degree. Best regards!
@@manostroulinos1726 Glad you are enjoying these videos! We will be posting more soon! :)
Thank you for this, guys! Would love a mini slideshow of the photos you've taken maybe towards the end of the video, just to wrap things up nicely, maybe?
Not a bad idea! It's a good way to summarize the the shoot!
Love love love love these videos
Thank you so much!! :)
great video! appreciate good work!
Thank you so much!! :)
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for adding the additional details in the shots. Nice to know you are listening to your viewers, unlike some other UA-camrs. :) Yes, the focus shift segment was informative, and I learnt something. Keep it up!
My pleasure! I'm happy to get feedback as it helps me make our video better. And if I can't take on feedback for some reason, I'll make it clear why not. :)
Ohh yes, was waiting for this video.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! :)
same here!
Love the boxing kangaroo t shirt and another interesting video. Thanks to the videographer for asking the questions we were thinking.
Glad you like the shirt! And Axel does a great job. We are partners at EYExplore and I couldn't do this without him. For these videos, conversation with him is integral to making them engaging.
Some newer Nikon cameras seem to have offset tables for focus shifting lenses built in, so AF will automatically "miss" depending on the aperture you dial in so that the photo will then be on point.
Very interesting! I was not aware of this.
Thanks guys for the video!. Very interesting. I'm learning a lot from them. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Glad to hear it!
Solid post.👍 Useful tips on composition and lenses. Focus shift topic would benefit from follow up. Is depth of field preview on cam useful? Image numbering and notes a plus. Pics 3 and 4 strongest, in my view, w/diagonals dominant. Backpack still looks too heavy😁.
Yeah, I realize it was a lot but not a definitive explanation. Yes, the DOF preview would alleviate any issues, because you will see the image with the exact DOF at that aperture. At night, this is tricky though, because each f-stop cuts the amount of light in half, meaning at say f/8 the viewfinder gets pretty dark, making it hard to see what you're focusing on anyway. After all the tech discussion though, I find any issues with focus shift to be negligible for the subjects I shoot (long distance landscape shots). So, I generally don't worry about it.
The backpack is part of my workout regimen, haha. :) On another note, sometimes I go hiking and carry a muuuch heavier backpack up a mountain, so 2-3 hours on flat terrain in the city with less than 10kg is no biggie.
Nice! didn’t know about the aperture changing during autofocus. Smart machines
Yep, SLRs always stay on the max aperture. Actually, somewhere on your camera there should be a DOF preview button, which allows you to close the aperture without taking a photo. This way, through the viewfinder you can see the exact DOF you will get. However, it makes the viewfinder much darker, since closing the aperture obviously cuts down the amount of light by 50% per each f-stop.
I started watching becuase I am fascinated with Japan so street photographyin Tokyo was a win win however your technical discussions have proved equally illuminating I am enjoying it so much I signed up to your Patreon account I hope you get enough money to make your life a little easier many thanks for making the videos
Very big thanks!! We really appreciate it! We do hope to be able to pivot into doing UA-cam and content like this full time.
cool to join your photo walk like this guys, also refreshing to see other gear in action than the (film) leicas and fujis. nice work!
Thank you so much!! Very happy to hear that! :)
I was just wondering when the next "chilling with the bros taking photos in Tokyo" was going to come out and to my surprise, it was already out. Great content, thanks a lot!
Thank you!! Our goal right now is once a week, always on Sunday. But sometimes jobs/life means we miss a week. Would love to step it up to 2 a week, but that a 'someday' thing haha.
Three comments and a question:
1. You are clearly very familiar with these locations, What I take away is that it is easier for you to look for different and interesting compositions because you know the area so well.
2. I think the level of detail is good. You have structured this as a dialogue; a composition is proposed, questions are asked, and there is a discussion of the reasons why and the philosophy of your choices. Socrates would be proud!
3. It is easier to learn, for me, because you have told a story.
Question: have you done any work with tilt/shift lenses?
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's very helpful to know we are doing something right. Positive reinforcement! :)
Regarding tilt/shift lenses, sadly I never had the chance. They are pretty pricey and though I've always had it on my mind to get an old one I never really got around to it.
Hi, new subscriber here! Love your videos and love Tokyo. I'm interested to know what tripod you were using. I have a carbon Manfrotto but I want something more compact and lighter for when I travel abroad. Thanks!
Thank you! This is what I use...
Sirui T-1205X Carbon Fiber Tripod: amzn.to/3a5gqCl
Sirui K-10x Ballhead: amzn.to/370O36z
On my Fuji X-T2 all of my lenses (the kit lens of 18-55), and my fujicrons, focus is set wide open and then the lens stops down right before shooting. If I use an older LTM lens with adapter (35 mm/f1.7 Voigtlander Ultron), I sometimes miss focus if I manually focus with the lens stopped down even though I use the focus peaking feature. If I manually focus with it wide open and then stop down manually, I always nail the focus.
Thank you for the insight! Like I mentioned in the vlog, I don't such intimate knowledge of the Fuji system, so it's great to hear it from you. I think the focus wide open technique is the way to go!
Yes please... carry on with the next episode :)
Will post it next Sunday! :)
Great video. Loved the in depth technical talk as well. I wanted to shoot this particular bridge on my trip to Tokyo last year, but when I came there it was under reconstruction with walls all around it.
Yeah, it was like that for a long time actually. Maybe more than a year? Just recently they finished renovating it, so I wanted to head there as well.
Love this series, a lot of great tips within which I hope to use in particular on a planned trip to Japan in March/April 2021.
Thank you!! Glad to hear that! :)
@@EYExplore Photo #7 is my favourite BTW.
@@AlanHoey86 Thank you! :)
With mirrorless cameras, while shooting on a tripod at night it's also beneficial to manually focus wide open at the highest magnification possible. Especially if the scene is really dark. Letting more light in allows you to keep shutter speed high enough and iso in the mid to low ranges, which means the refresh rate on the back screen or EVF that you are using to focus will be somewhat manageable. Otherwise the delay might be so bad that it will hinder any focusing effort.
Good to know! It seems very similar technique and considerations when I'm using live view on my SLR.
Really interesting explanation about the focusing part, thanks for it, i've learnt something :)
Just a though, maybe you just keep going for 20 minutes videos, in this way, you can gather more contents for your channel when you go out and shot ... working the scene on an aera and then going to another one.
Another thing, i'm actually really curios about the composition in the pictures and i'm wondering how you compose yours, in the way, what catch your regard when you look at a scenery.
Great video, thanks for it.. i can't wait to see more.
Thank you! And thanks for the feedback! I think we'll aim for around 20 minutes. And I you made me realize I should talk about composition more explicitly. Thanks!!
6:20 Work smarter not harder is how I look at it
Well said! :)
I use a SMDV RFN-4s remote wireless trigger on my D810 that is small and light weight made in South Korea and pretty inexpensive.
Yeah, I should really get one, but I keep defaulting to using the timer because it's honestly not a major part of my shooting. Thank for the tip though!
The Nikon 24-70 is a bad ass lens. It’s my “default” lens for my D750. You’re right though, it’s heavy!
It really is! I like using it sometimes, but primes are just more fun. I end up shooting more with zoom lenses too because they give a lot more options in terms of FOV.
When you go out with one lens do you take a zoom or a prime?
Almost always a prime! :)
@@EYExplore thankyou
Nice video, very technical! Have you tried hyperfocal to avoid focus problems in landscape?
Thank you!! I have used hyperfocal, but for these kinds of shots, I find it doesn't add too much. I'm rarely needing the absolute deepest DOF. Also, with AF lenses like the ones I used here, the focus gauges are not very precise so it's hard to get a reliable hyperfocus that way. Dedicated manual lenses work much better for this purposes.
Hi, great video 👍🏼 Quick question, do you use a filter on your 24 - 70mm? Thanks
Thanks! I don't. I probably should. I guess I like to live dangerously, haha. :)
EYExplore thanks, I was interested to know!
I love the argument for multi segment metering. It's exactly the way I shoot but I never bothered to explain it so I never fully understood why I do it that way :)
Glad to hear it! I never heard it called 'multi segment' metering but it makes sense since 'matrix metering' has a 5-segmented icon.
@@EYExplore I didn't know for sure so I just looked it up on the GR III :D I guess different manufactures name it differently
More technical talk please!
Will do!! :)
What is the cover on your tripod head?
I use a Sirui tripod with a Sirui K-10x ball head. The head came with a little carrying pouch. I just stick the pouch over the head when I'm not using it. :)
I was curious how do photographers making a living doing street photography? Is this always just a hobby or is possible to make a living out of it?
I'm sad to say that basically from street photography you don't make money directly. There are a few ways though: one is to do workshops, which mainly how I make a living.
Another is to do editorial/documentary work which is similar in some ways to street, so a strong street portfolio can help there (this also applies to me).
Finally, there is the fine art route: selling prints and books, but it's hard to make a buck there. I'm just starting to get into this (prints available on my site, and planning a book at some point).
@@EYExplore true makes sense. Thanks for sharing :)
Interesting re: the auto focus, never seen anybody discuss it like that!
Glad you found it interesting!! :)
If you’re walking around people you should use mask. I would understand if you were alone in a place. Better shave the bear than endanger peoples lives.
I usually wear a mask in crowded places. This is an old video anyway.
