  • POV Street Photography - Sony A6000 + 55-210mm
    In this video I hit the streets with my Sony A6000 and 55-210mm lens to see what I could get. I got so much good stuff I decided to split it into 2 videos!
    Hope you enjoy it!

    Great video David! Enjoyed the look around as always. Loads of great images of people just going about their day, which I guess is at the heart of street photography. You captured that felling well here mate. Really enjoyed it!

      Thanks, Paul. I wasn't sure how it would work out with that long lens for street, but I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like the best of the images are in the next part though once I'd figured it out a bit.
      Thanks for watching, mate 🖖😁

    That worked well David - I think you're proving that to shoot street, you need to be out there with a camera and spot the compositions and definitely not get too hung up on what equipment you're shooting with. I absolutely love the road sweeper shot, brilliant stuff. ....and just look at those Blue skies - seems like a distant memory as I gaze up into the damp gloom of today, ho hum.......

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, Tim. That's exactly what I was going for. Using "entry level" gear makes no difference and the a6000 remains one of my favourite cameras regardless of it's label. It's hard to believe that was less than a week ago looking at the weather now😂
      More rainy, shiny streets coming up though I reckon 😁👍

      The a6000 is the first of the a6xxx series from about 2014 or there abouts. Apsc, 24 mpx and incredibly capable. There's a reason it's one of the best selling mirrorless cameras ever made 😁

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  Рік тому

      If by camera trees you’re referring to those in the opening city scene, they’re actually lights. They project all kinds of things onto the buildings in the square, I’m pretty sure I shot the lights in a night video at some point. We do have cctv and a fair bit of it, but that’s not what you’re seeing at the start of this video 👍

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  2 роки тому

      Yeah absolutely, although it's not a fast lens so you won't get as much background separation as something like an 85 f1.8, but it'll still do the job. Thanks for watching 🖖

    is this lens 55-210mm are suitable for landscape view? for example himalayan view

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  Рік тому

      That all depends on the distance away from the subject. 55-210 gives a ff equivalent of around 80-315 so it’s not exactly wide. I’d use a lens like this for detail or distance shots, but without seeing the scene it’s hard to know if it would work or not. Thanks for watching 🖖

      I always shoot manual simply because the camera doesn’t know if I want a shallow depth of field or to freeze motion. I do occasionally use auto iso in manual mode but that doesn’t impact the characteristics of the shot👍
