  • I decided that I needed a different camera for street photography, so picked up a Ricoh GR IIIx, which has a 40mm lens - versus the GR III which has a 28mm lens. Did it make a difference? Well, eh. You'll have to watch to find out. Shot using the DJI Action 2.

    I do enjoy these street photography videos. Please continue them. That was a lot of material to condense to 20minutes. The stills can always be repurposed into album art collages.

      Uhoh, a local stalker!!! I used to walk that route every day to go to Uni because I was too cheap to get the subway ha. Definitely check out that wee shop. It's just across the road from the main entrance to the Barras. They have interesting cameras turned into lights and things like that.

    Hey buddy.. I hope you are doing well Happy New Year. I kind of dragging as I got covid right on the Christmas holiday and I'm still recovering. You really sparked my attention with your picture taking in this video. I know yours is a digital camera but back in the early 1990s, I bought an old 1960s Konica 35mm camera and I used to take black & while photos with it. The interesting thing is with either black & while or color, the photos from that camera came out cool looking as each photo "looked" like it was taken back in the old days, it really looked like it was taken back in the 60s.

    You should look at getting a bridge camera, you can get some nice lenses which get you close to the action.
    I've always wanted a Lumix DC-FZ80 which gets great reviews.
    Looking at a drone instead.

    • @StephenMcLeod
      @StephenMcLeod  Рік тому

      Thank you! It depends on the weather obviously, but I tend to manually set my shutter speed and aperture, while keeping ISO on AUTO. Exposure compensation I move around as well, but it's often slightly over to allow for shadowy areas on the street. I try go with 1/250 at a minimum as folks are walking around, and f9 or above. :)

    What a great photo/video essay! I'm a bit of a shy street shooter myself, in addition to my music dabblings,. It's fun to see that other synthesists are photogs as well. I've always been intrigued by the Ricoh GR series. One of these days, I'm probably going to have to add one to my arsenal. Right now, I'm usually carrying a little Sony RX100 mkIII, but just got a Canon G7x mkII after my dad passed away. Anyway, thanks for sharing all this! Great stuff!

    • @StephenMcLeod
      @StephenMcLeod  Рік тому +1

      Thanks a lot for watching! I think there's probably a crossover between musicians and photography, though UA-cam probably punishes me for uploading both types of 'content'. The RX100 is awesome as well! That's what I used to use before switching to the Ricoh. The zoom was dead useful, and the in built mono processing looked great.
