    Two things I enjoy about Sundays: Playing music at our church with my son ( I play electric guitar and my son plays drums) and watching a new Joe Redski video. I'm still new to shooting street photography and haven't had much chance to do any lately, but I find your videos inspirational and full of good information. Thanks Joe for taking time to put these videos together. :)

    Enjoyable and informative video. Obstruction is something I've tried and had a few goes here and there. It can also be useful to hide objects or areas that could detract from what you want to show.

    Again, I’m amazed by clear thinking and selection of images that perfectly illustrate your points. Very inspiring!
    I do wonder that in today’s world, what percentage of street photos taken each day include people staring at their phones.

    • @joeredski
      @joeredski  3 місяці тому

      Thank you very much Hank. I really appreciate that feedback. Unfortunately, it is the way of the world. I guess it makes street shooting easier, but there is a potentiality of oversaturation of photos of people with their phones.😀

    I was out at the farmer's market yesterday. Instead of shooting at my usual 35mm (50mm full frame equivalent), I gave myself the restriction of only shooting at 28mm (42mm equivalent).
    I did some obstruction technique, tried some reflections and captured folks making hand gestures.
    Not sure how I feel about my reflection photos, I may let them sit on the computer for a few days before I look at them again. Sometimes they get better when I ignore them for a while. The people around me were wondering what I was doing, holding my DSLR up against the glass. It was pretty hilarious.
    My auto ISO range is 200-1600 and with IBIS I can usually hand hold the camera with a shutter speed as slow as 1/15 of a second.

    • @joeredski
      @joeredski  3 місяці тому +2

      Thanks man. That’s a pretty slow minimum shutter speed. Sometimes you have your sit with photos for a few days before you know if you like them. I know the feeling.
      Glad you’re shooting obstructions and reflections. Reflections must look a bit weird to the public, lol. 👍

    I have my Fuji camera go all the way up to 3200 in auto ISO, even during daytime. At first I was a bit scared about how high it was jumping up for shots but I figured I didn't really care. I'm using film simulations anyway and the noise if anything just accentuates the nostalgic graininess. I do appreciate not everyone wants this but it's less of an issue than people think, especially on mirrorless cameras from the past 10 years.

    • @joeredski
      @joeredski  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment.
      Exactly. It really is less of an issue than what people think. Cameras handle noise much better than they used to and if people really don’t like it they can now get rid of it with AI software.

    Hello Joe. In two weeks, there’s a big clearance sale in the streets of my city. I’m gonna test "your obstruction method" whith Lumix GX9 + lens 25mm Panasonic.

    Brilliant again Joe. I love this technique and of course you nail it 👍😊. It's something I work on but never seem to find anything interesting lol. Thanks for the inspiration pal. 👊😊

    • @joeredski
      @joeredski  3 місяці тому +1

      Thank you very much Ken. I appreciate it. If you have any market areas and independent shops near where you live, they are the best for this kind of technique.
