This is a great way for nervous photographers to get into street photography. You don’t even need people to make abstracts, the options are limitless and it doesn’t matter if there’s (as commented) a boring human element, it merely adds to the shot. It doesn’t have to be all about humans to be street photography. As someone who is very conscious of people looking at me, this is a way to build into getting the confidence to take photos. Nice video fella, I’ll have a look at your channel now.
Great job, Joe, on a very comprehensive tutorial. I love how when I'm set up on a window reflection and people look through the window to see what is so dang interesting inside. Little do they know that they're basically looking into the camera without actually looking into the camera.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. That's what isso great about capturing reflections, people don't know you taking photos of them. Cheers dude.
Ah you can't beat a nice reflection shot. I reckon you nailed the explanation of how to do it, cant think of anything to add lol. Great video again Joe 👍😊👊
You taught me something I didn't know with regards snap focus and using different aperture. I thank you! I personally shoot with the GR3x. Have I must say been tempted to buy the GR3. Perhaps get the HDF. Congrats on your channel.
Thank you so much. I’m so glad that I could be of help. I really appreciate your comment. I’d love to get the HDF, especially for night photography as it makes everything so atmospheric. Go for it, man.👍
@@joeredski I don't see it available anywhere here in The US currently. If I'm not mistaken it's looking like August. I've seen some pop up on Ebay out of Japan for anywhere between $250 to $600 above MSRP. Crazy!! But I tell you, these are absolutely wonderful cameras. So sharp. I have many cameras, and this is right up there. I have a disability myself, that has resorted to me to being in this wheelchair. The GR3x is the perfect everyday travel companion. It comes everywhere with me!
Im gonna be that guy… I love your videos you seem like such a knowledgeable and humble guy and you’re a great photographer and I’m surprised why I’m not subscribed yet (subscribed) you inspire me in starting a channel of my own also.:) keep up the great work!!! 🎉
Thank you very much man for that great feedback, man. I really appreciate you subscribing. Good luck with your channel. Let me know when you’re up and running 👍
I've been doing a lot of street photography at night, you're making me think about heading out during daylight hours. Or perhaps I just need to start my street photography walks before the sun goes down.
I love doing both nighttime and daytime Street photography. Each one has their own challenges but I think they are both as enjoyable as each other. Enjoy!
I can't handle night photography. I usually just switch to black and white. 😂 Maybe it depends on your city though. I live in México City, and the night is dimly lit with very green or blue cast bulbs. So it's not ideal.
@@-grey Mexico City, I'd love to go there to do some street photography. The place looks amazing. Shame about those bulbs, they seem like they could be atmospheric.
Hello Joe. I like to take pictures of reflections in shop windows. I also like to do multiple exposures directly in my Lumix GX9. Christine from FRance
I’m glad you enjoy shooting reflections as well. I think I need to practice multiple exposures. You must know more than me about them. Thank you Christine 🙏
So this is kind of random, but it may be of interest to you. You strike me as someone who nerds out a bit. So windows reflect light but, obviously, they're transparent as well. So what dictates the "image" we see? It comes down to bounced light vs origin sources. Anything behind the window which carries (or reflects) light rays to a more potent degree than the rays resulting from reflected light (on the multiple window surfaces) will overtake our visual spectrum. For example: a lightbulb will show directly through a reflected sky even if the glass is damn near mirrored. To that end, we can "place" reflected light on exterior elements against both origin light and reflected light within the structure where a mirror is placed, with intention. Knowing how our subjects will fall on the value range- depending on if they enter the frame lit or unlit. Anyway. Great video. Just some fun stuff from painting theory that also applies to photos.
Intending this as the most neutral criticism, but I think that you should allow yourself more time between words in the post processing. Nothing wrong with a brief pause in the middle of a sentence, but more importantly, a pause can work in favour of starting a new logical block of information. For instance 5:33, 11:27 Now with that out of the way, thanks for the detailed tutorial, especially listing the settings out. I have tried on several occasions to do the classic mirrored shot, whether against a glass store front or against a puddle, but seems like I've had too shallow a depth field in my mind. For some reason I thought it'd be logical if whatever else is on the reflective surface (e.g. some debris or tree bits in a puddle) is blurred while my then-reflected subject is more in focus. Never worked out well though.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your constructive criticism and I will take it on board. You make a good point. Try my settings and keep practicing. I’m sure you will get the shots you want .
@@joeredski no problem, cheers! I'm not a good speaker in real life and I have fallen into this trap of overediting and overcutting the pauses between the words before, which is probably why I've noticed it here. Though most people probably wouldn't be able to put their finger on it.
He's doing okay, thank you for asking. He's on these pills which is supposed to help with the dementia and it's making him a little better. I appreciate it.
I made it half-way through. I didn't find any human subject that looked interesting or was doing anything interesting or fitting within the composition. To me , photos like these are happenstance chaotic jumbles of random elements without aesthetic value. It seems unwise to encourage boring copycat window reflection shots with indistinctive people doing nothing to add to the composition. I'll finish watching the rest of the video with an open mind.
Enjoyed this. Helpful info. Thank you.
Once again the depth with which you discuss the nuances of a technique is amazing. You never fail to inspire me.
Thank you very much for that great feedback. I really appreciate it 🙏

Another fantastic video ..I will definitely start a project with window reflections thank you

Great tips
Glad you like them! Thank you very much.
Slow shutter speed with a tripod is good to get a ghost walking past effect in a window. 3 second on my tripod
Thanks for the tip.
