Really appreciating this series, so many thanks to David and Paul. Another good tip for street photography is to show up at a place, and wait. When you arrive, you're the newest feature on the scene and people will be scoping you out. Whipping out your camera and clicking away will make people nervous/ angry. If you're there for a bit, you become part of the scenery and new people on arriving on the scene will more readily accept that you're there (this works to some degree for wildlife as well - once it's been established that you're not a threat, your presence will be more accepted.) NB: IN CANADA at least, be wary about making images of people w/o their permission. It's complicated, but the bottom line is that a person's right to privacy supersedes your right to make an image of them. This has nothing to do with what your use of the images. The violation occurs the second you trip the shutter. If you're making images of people in a parade or random passersby - a scene that has people in it - that's one thing. If you make an image of a couple sitting in a corner of an outdoor restaurant patio - where the intention is to photograph the people and not just a scene, that's where the violation exists. This is based on a Supreme Court ruling, and ultimately it's up to the courts to decide, but you don't want to go down that road.
I generally carry an X-Rite (Colorbyte) Colour Checker Passport for WB (which has both a colour profile side and a WB side) but as they said, it depends on the light. Walking from a sunny parking lot into a dappled forest will give you different readings. Also a tip from Julian Caverly(?) is to take your image in Capture One and crank the Saturation WAY up... say 70% Now move the WB and tint sliders until they look good to you (this assumes of course you've profiled/calibrated your monitor). Then turn the Saturation slider back to zero and... it will look washed out! You'll likely need to increase Saturation a bit to get it looking right. Oh - depending on your camera, if you have a white balance gray card, you can program in a custom white balance by shooting an image of the card. Again, if you're at sunset for example, the WB is going to be changing very rapidly.
Great stuff guys. I hope you enjoy the Mid-west/West and I hope you fall in love with the gas station beef jerky....it's terrible for you but so so so good somehow.
Good work, Gentlemen! I recently had the use of an XH2, the same lens- 16-55 f2.8- and firmware 3.0 for a few days. I found everything to be really soft, nothing like your images, tripod or not. I set Sharpening at 350 and radius at 1.1 to make images acceptable. Are you finding that, or did I have a dud copy? I had chalked it up to APS-C, but maybe not? As one who has strategically positioned a pillow on a luggage rack- with zero success- all I can say is Rock-Paper-Scissors for the chair. Looking forward to your next stop!
How open was the establishment to your idea of doing photography there on that Chicago rooftop? And how did you go about contacting them? I feel like many businesses will just think about the liability as you said and just say no...which is probably why other photographers will just shoot first and apologize later.
Jackson Hole is not the Midwest. Neither is Yellowstone. Just thought I'd mention that. Both are considered the American West. I live in this area so I know of what I speak.
Guten Tag, ich schaue mir die Vidios gerne an. Sie helfen mir. Da ich kaum Englich spreche, nutze ich die automatische Übersetzung von You-Tube nach German. Dies funktioniert nicht mehr. Können Sie helfen? Danke Meckistromer
I really like this format with you guys! Very informative and enjoyable. Hope there will be more.
Very enjoyable - thanks. I don't know what's more entertaining... the Capture One lessons or the frenemy repartee.

Very nice and useful presentation. Thank you so much. Have a goos trip. See you the 15th of july.
Great video series. Very educational and entertaining! 🙌🙌

Hey Robert. That is indeed a bit strange. It hasn’t been my experience at all, so worth investigating further. /David

Paul has many relations with hotel chains. So as usual, a lot of these possibilities are due to networking and relationship building.

Chicago is, I believe.
@@rolandruesch6862 Yes, Chicago is.
