    As the days get shorter and the nights get longer I find myself shooting after sundown more and more. In today's video I discuss how I shoot and night and tips on composition, finding interesting light and setting up your camera.

    I've also shifted to shooting primarily at night. It's less overwhelming for me imo and light is just more interesting in the evening. It's moody, cinematic, and the colors are just interesting!

    Great video. And great cameo/Easter egg. I've been shooting street for several years now. Mainly sub'd to you for your lens reviews and photowalks as I'm rebuilding my streetkit. Had to sell my Leica Q2. Returned to the X-Pro 1 recently & the 16mm to replicate the Leica Q series I became familiar with. This free episode could easily be on skillshare or a paid platform. Cheers!

    Even thank you for this video.
    Haven’t gone on the street at night. Yet. I will be retiring in a month or so. I work nights so I sleep prior to going to work. On my one night off I enjoy sleeping in the dark. All this is soon to change.
    I live in a near ghost town. Seattle is scary at night. Very few people, as in approaching zero, on the street after sunset. I suppose I will have to locate venues like night clubs. Outside of buses, there are virtually no cars on the street. Seattle is no London or New York.
    Thank you for the underexpose tip. That would have taken me a long time, if ever to figure out on my own. You showed this in the vid but never talked about it. Taking short video clips works very well at night. Having IBIS on a body like the XT4 could be very helpful at night.
    The one thing Seattle has in abundance is rain. We sometimes have atmospheric rivers. Dangerous but interesting is photography while driving. I turn off the windshield wiper and accumulate droplets on the windshield. I get some pretty images. I do this at traffic light stops or on the highway when there is a significant distance between the driver in front of me and there is a patch of straight road. Maybe having a driver and my sitting in the front seat may be a safer alternative.
    Protective gear for my camera and feet seem especially important. Bodies like the XP2 aren’t water resistant. That suggests keeping the camera under my jacket or in a large plastic bag. When my feet are cold and wet I am not happy. I can see the importance of having the proper foot gear when walking in the dark.
    Situational awareness I can see is an important element while being out at night. Being alone is not safe. Maybe finding a street photographer comrade may be a good idea.
    Thank you for this video. It was full of interesting images and good ideas. Definitely a thumbs up.

    This may sound like a stupid question, but do you ever get into trouble ? Like what if someone doesn't want you to take a picture of them, what happens when you actually get "noticed" ? what if someone asks you to delete your pictures ? i know it's not a very common scenario but have you ever stumbled on someone who was bothered by it all ? In other words what if the "subject" starts to get physical ?

    Man, I don’t know how you get away with iso set to 3200. I went out last night using my XH2 and 35 f/2. Had my iso set to 6400 with a minimum shutter speed of 1/125. Exposure compensation was -1. Even then, I found my camera overriding my minimum shutter speed. I had to raise my iso to to 12800 to get my shutter speed back up and freeze motion. 3200 max sound impossible. Feel like I’d have shutter speeds of 1/8 a second.

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  Рік тому +1

      Depends a lot on where you are shooting at night, I choose pretty well let spots which allow me to capture at the 3200 range. TBH though, even at 6400 and above the fuji does pretty well
