Thanks to Lintaro for bringing me here. ✌🏼 Great first video, I especially loved the pace and quietness in your editing. I have been to Munich as well not too long ago and currently work on a street photography video I recorded there (that will be published next week). I've been to almost all of the spots you went to too and it's so interesting to see how different other photographer's photos turn out in the same location. Looking forward to more videos on your channel. :)
Hahaha I found your channel weeks after this comment and I am not worthy.. :)
This is exactly the kind of content I like to see.
Wonderful video and beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing this, and also for bringing more exposure to the Canon P!
Found Jim through Samuel's interveiw and really enjoyed that chat and now enjoying more of his images. Thanks for sharing Jim..
Love your laid back approach looking forward to more content 👍
Lived in Munich for my Year Abroad during University and this took me back. I also have a Canon P and have had my eye on that 25mm Skopar lens!
Great novel (I lived in Antibes for a while, where Greene also used to live ... ), great channel name and nice pictures. In the Samuel video, I think you put the finger on what I also like to watch: video of the moment of the shutter press and then seeing the result. Good luck on the new channel and keep up the great work.
Really enjoyed the video, can definitely relate to your preference for peace and quiet in YT vids. Hope to see more!
Nice video, Jim. I'm thrilled to be here for the beginning of your UA-cam adventure
really enjoying your black and white photos, getting really interested in picking up a Canon P
love the shot at 4:56, great video! only one thing: I think I would prefer it if the sound of the videoclips would keep going when you show the pictures, other than that awesome
Finally I ended up with two Canon P from ebay after subscribed your channel , one was already CLAed, one is waited for CLA
Hahahahaa nice
This channel definitely hits the sweet spot for me. I’ll patiently wait for a thousand more videos. :)
Saw you in Samuel's video first. I really liked your humor and the rhythm of of banter. You definitely seemed like someone I would get along with in person, so I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff from you!
This is really cool man. I like the quiet style. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to the next video.
You just took me back to January when i was in Munich. Didn’t manage to snap many pictures since i was there for work, and most times i would leave my hotel directly to the Exhibition center, but yet, such an amazing city.
Hey Jim ! You said the Quiet and I wanted to add "unfocused" but you corrected the camera very quickly :-) Well, kidding., Glad to see you started this channel. I just saw your conversation with Samuel a few days ago and loved your Instagram gallery as well.
About the said by you in Samuel's video - these thoughts about street photography and so agree with you about how many modern street shooters are looking for the funny and mocking moment in streets not really expressing something interesting. Good luck,. Hope to see more of your photography here. btw. a few years ago in September I visited a couple of my friends, living in Munich (actually in some small town very close to Munich), so I walked the beautiful streets with my cameras - a digital and film. And these friends are film photographers. They use the only film cameras already many years for every kind of photography.
I Like the format and the analog way during your visit in my hometown. Ilford i used also, fourty years ago.
lintaro brought me here. Your video reminded me of a book reading about calmness. Something completely different but I like it. While you show your pictures you could just let the street sound continue to run - a trigger noise is not necessary.
Your wide angle is really super wide angle. really great. Why exactly the 25mm?
great little vlog and it sure gonna be nice to follow you around coz i’ve been sniffing at analog photography for a while and i’m not quite there yet..
thumbs up from sweden 🇸🇪

Hey man, Lintaro suggested your vids man, your work is awesome and it’s very rare to find a film shooter nowdays, subscribe 👍
A very enjoyable video, thank you. I watched your video on Samuels channel this morning and I've subbed and followed you on IG 👍
Thanks, I'm looking forward to more videos.
Can you imagine the looks you would get if you photographed people while wearing a hazmat suit haha! Great first video Jim, I already look forward to the next one!
This was great, keep em coming!
😃👌
As you mentioned it, i would love to go out in ABC Hazard Suits to shoot street. Finally im not the only one thinking about it 👀
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Here via Samuel, loved it, subscribed!
Great stuff. Love it. Wouldn't mind seeing how you scan etc. Re the Samuel video you had an assistant viewfinder?? In the cold shoe of your Canon P. What exactly was it please?
Hey- I've gotten feedback from several people asking about how I scan so I will make a video in the future about it. I had a hotshoe viewfinder, yes. It's the one that comes with the 25mm lens.
A quiet American is about as rare as a funny German...[both nationalities slammed - extra points to me]
Gottem!
true that ! But The Quiet American seems like a good guy
@@martinkoziel9654 can’t disagree with that 👍
I love your channel. Perfect.
Sick vid man 👌🏾✌🏾🚀
cool. looking really forward for more like this. cheers
Love the film and the photos! A great new approach. Would you consider leaving the noise of the street in the edit when you show your photos? You’ve just got a new subscriber.
ASMR for photo nerds. I dig it.
Are You using a light meter to setup your shutter speed? Also how is your ISO set up since the camera doesn’t have an ISO setup dial ?
I do a lot of guesswork and follow the sunny 16 rule somewhat. But recently I bought a meter app for my phone that I'm relying on more often. I just enter the iso into the app, or my brain:)
nice video. very interesting that you dont use music even when showing the images, and even more interesting to show the environmental sound.
I do think and hope you can let the environment sound flow in to the images you show like the water fountain images. It would be very cool to hear the water flowing while seeing the still image.
Hey man, if you are ever in Stuttgart I'd be thrilled to buy you a beer. Do let me know. Thanks
Nice video style Jim.
What lense you use..?
Thak you
6:01 inspecting a black Rollei 35, aha!
Great video! See you in Samuels Video.
Pumped to see more in the future! Keep it quiet! :)
Very nice color of the vidéo what gear ? Lut ? Did you use ?
Thanks- I/Sarah used a Sony Alpha full frame and a very old Soviet lens (35mm f 2.2) with a customized Picture Profile. Want more details? I can do a video about it.
if you ever pass by Belgium, I’m in!
Love it!
great video. does anyone know the name of the music at the start?
That's me :) it's a melody I often play on the piano when I first sit down.
@@quietamericanreed it sounds great. it really suits the atmosphere of the video. if there is a full/longer version of that piece do let me know :) Thanks
Nice work! Apart from being a nice guy and a good photographer you get a like from moi for not playing hipster musak to try add "artsy atmosphere". 4 and half mins seems pretty short! Jeez, you must be pretty confident with your developing technique. Ciao.
What kind of lens have you used in this video? Thank for the answer, Roberto.
It was a Voigtlander 25mm Color Skopar
Can you tell me which film this is? Thank you!!!
That was Ilford FP4 rated at 125
I would like to buy a canon p , could you tell me the lens more information? (It’s looks beautiful) I am interesting about you said! Thank u
thanks :) it's a 25mm f4 Color Skopar. Not the sharpest in the world wide open but I usually have it at f8 or f11. Best feature is the zone focus snapping distances
New subscriber here. I love your style Jim. Do you shoot only film in BW? I just ordered a Ricoh GRIII and would kindly appreciate it if you walked us through snap focus mode and photo editing of BW. Thanks man!
Hey James- thanks! Yes, I mostly shoot bw film. I don't use the snap focus on the GR enough to be able to help there but Samuel Streetlife and Mattias Burling both have good tutorials for that. I can do a video about my photo editing of digital files- good idea!
Say hi the next time you're in Munich! Would love to do a photo walk
Very chilled 😎
Great Jim!
Welcome!
Your video was a refreshing change. I always fancied a canon range finder. As far as I remember the canon P was a cut down version but sold more than the canon 7. The quality on the P is as good as Leica they say. Prices have gone up as well. If your ever in France would love to shoot with you. I'm near limoges. My Instagram is monoart69 if you want to see my work. I loved shooting in Jakarta last may. I'm really getting more into candid street work .
Subscribed because I shoot Canon P .
If you're ever in Poland let me know :)
nice deep voice youtuber me likey 👍🏻
nice shots btw
I personally think Munich is the least street photography friendly place there is. People generally don't look interesting and they dislike having their picture taken. My experience in Munich has been terrible for street photography. I live close to Munich and I go there often to shoot, but no street stuff anymore. Maybe I did something wrong.
Anyhow I think your shots are rather nice considering it's well, Munich.
UA-cam algorithm brought me here
You mean a VERY quiet american... You know what ? She preffer discret photos....
You are a quiet american, nice video, nice camera although it seems to me the least important. I liked some photos but I always have the moral problem that street photographers steal the photos, sorry bro but, this dont like me, still less the photo that appears in 5.17. But well, I also see that you have done things well and have asked if you can take the photo. But still I don't think a photographer has the right to interrupt what another is doing. or to be recognized in a you tube video. If you do not have written consent, you could get into legal trouble. Cheers.
Sir, you need to calm the F down
