    0:47 That "de-focus" trick for checking the background! So obvious but news to me! Thank you!

      YES! I thought I was the only one. When I see people jauntily throwing around $10k in camera gear in their hand with no strap ALWAYS freaks me out.

    I don't know if you here this much but after watching many of your videos for the last 3 years or so, you guys have a healthy wonderful relationship and that is amazing and rare. Most often most couples have a lot of jealousy and insecurities which cause conflict when it is not even worth it over the bigger picture (no pun intended).

  • @focal412

    As someone who is transitioning from a run and gun style of street to more portrait oriented stuff, your videos are so helpful man. I like how you break everything down and actually narrate your videos and thought processes while you’re going through compositions. The think out loud style is so insightful. All around great stuff my guy thanks for your contribution to the creative space. And of course all the photos are dope. Much love from Pittsburgh

    Dude! I freaking LOVE the "focus on the ground" trick to view the background out of focus for composition ideas! Brilliant! I am definitely going to start incorporating that into my shoot flow! Thanks!

  • @roadrider_2771
    @roadrider_2771 3 роки тому +1

    Manny, I freaking love that you don’t use a lens hood. I’ve been debating to stop carrying them on my bigger lenses. I feel like they rob me of my joy in shooting. I’m happiest when I shoot without them. So many photographers say it’s a must, but I noticed you don’t use it a lot of times and you get the most amazing shots. I’m going to give not carrying them all the time a shot and see how it goes. You’re me hero for so many reasons 🥰🙏🏽

    Great! You also highlight part and zoom in oh what you want us to look at, such as highlighting the two beams at 1:09. Very informative, thank you. Most pov (street) photographers will only show the surroundings and just tell you what you are looking at.

    @stevenramirez663 3 роки тому +1

    Honesty this video has boosted my confidence. I’m always worried about shooting outside and like not really knowing what to do or if I need a flash and stuff. But you have a camera and lens and focused a lot on the composition.
    Like this type of video is great cause you are giving some tips here and there, you can see the workflow and the thinking behind the shots.
    I’m getting ideas for my future shoots and it gives me some confidence to like have a better grasp on what to do.

Any reason you wouldn't drop that ISO and shoot a little slower? I am always peeping your settings to see if there is anything I can learn from. Thanks.
