He is right i feel it to, but the most thing i don't like from this video is it feels so distance, Samuel i know u want some room but u think ur vloger style is better its more personal and i feel like i am with u while you doing street photography. Best wish for ur channel
To be honest I shot with a D3 and Voigtlanders 40mm |f2 when first starting street. I now shoot with Nikon z50 and adapted Voits 40mm and 56mm |1.4 and Fuji Xpro3 w/ 18mm |1.4 and 27mm |2.8 but there are times I desire a bigger body because I do have big hands and its very comfortable. The Z 9 is tempting me tho!!!
Nice to see these two walking around. Awesome seeing the Ricoh boys using Nikons (I know Lukasz is originally a Nikon user). Noticed Axel's from the hip shooting maybe to avoid being conspicuous at the Red Light. Can't wait to see more videos.
2 of my favorite photographers on youtube, together in one video, again.. Samuel, your videos are always entertaining!!! :) I actually enjoyed your photos from that first video with Lukasz, specially the last umbrella ones on Cinestill
What a beautiful ambience (and couldn't do that in Paris these days). After two shots of sake, two slinky dudes just cruising. To the GR days, Samuel was a ninja splitting the second with decisive reflexes: moment-volley-click. Perhaps he might go all in, trying a Drunken Master style with the 850 😉?
I remember in one livestream Stockezy went wild runting for someone that included some signs in his picture and how having signs of brands is a terrible and silly idea and after a while he sounded like a cartoon villain talking about injustice, meanwhile in this video probably there are more sign pictures than anything else. Don't be close minded shoot whatever you like guys.
When my buddy was convinced he wanted to become a street photographer, I came along once. First thing he did when we parked was pop the trunk and take a shot of vodka haha
At first I wasn't sure which camera I liked, but as I continued watching I prefer the 850. The Z9 has a tad over saturated punchy feel to the pic's. The 850 has a more natural feel Leica like feel to it. Some will disagree with me, but I prefer the look of the 850
When a camera has settings for cat, dogs and birds you can see where AI will eventually end up. The chances are it will correct our mistakes ie suggest the correct angle and we follow the out line all done in camera, it will also continually correct our images so that they are all of the same density so their is consistency even when we want to over or under expose in fact all we will be required to do is just press the button and lets be honest the camera can do that also. The camera manufacturers are killing the industry by adding so much rubbish & technology. I can see that in years to come the professional photographer will wish we went back to a camera where the photographer has to think and make the decision to produce the image otherwise photography as we know it will be dead in the water.
Thanks Samuel for the video. Interesting I think, that you are now shooting the d850, which I thought Lukasz used to use. And that he is using the Z9. And that I can hear the "clack" of the shutter/shutters. Thanks again, I always enjoy the Japanese content.
Hey Samuel, I remember you saying that if you shot film you would want an M7. You should try a Nikon FE2 with your 40mm ultron. The FE2 would be the M7’s equivalent in Nikon and only costs a couple of hundred dollars. I use the same setup with the FM2. I ended up selling my M6 for the occasional film shooting.
Well, it's because people are gambling in there, so they wanna protect their clients privacy I guess. And they're probably right, it's private property so they can set the rules, but if you can see it from the street without much effort then it's fair game. :)
Love the video and I'm happy to see Lukasz back on the channel! You guys have great chemistry and always have fun and laid-back photography-centric conversations. It feels like I'm hanging out with friends. You guys should film more videos together! Happy to see the sake too. Potential idea for Tokyo content, start a drinking series where you drink and do street photography! Keep it tight though! hahahaha Quick question: I've always wondered, if you had a direct mount microphone filming in 3rd person, would the microphone be picking up a bunch of auto-focusing noise? Seems like challenging video to film while walking around and capturing walking talking-heads.
The two photos look incredibly different. Did each of you edit them on your own or where they straight out it camera? Difficult to believe those two lenses could be so different.
Going on photo walks with a bud is fun but the two of you always end up getting the same shots unless you part ways for a bit, which I think is important. Not sure too many people like spotting something and then having another photographer walk right up to take the same shot.
To be fair we wouldn't do that normally when the camera is not around us : ) Purpose of this video was to have a conversation while also taking some photos together. And we wanted to show how different the cameras and our visions of the scenes are. But yes, ideally we would hang out in one area and part ways then come back together to move to the next location.
All the post-sake photos were awesome lol. Also, enjoying that taller 5:4 aspect ratio! You get a lot more environment in the shot. Thanks for sharing as always.

Your video inspired me to pick-up a D810 (I got it for $600! Crazy!). Are you only shooting manual focus lenses or are there autofocus Nikkors you're using.
This was a really fun video! I really really wanna get to Japan and wander these beautiful streets. And shoot with Lucasz! Now off to watch his video of this walk!
Great intro and only got better from there. Easy going photowalk and nice to hear each of your general thoughts. Even if some of it wasear related, it's what people do isn't it? Anyway, if there's a Lukasz and or Samuel drinking tour, sign me up. Hope to see you two together again in the future.
@@SamuelStreetlife, thank you. I haven't used 'Auto ISO' very often. I noticed that in the photo of the woman and the baby that your shutter speed was 1/2500. That must be a mistake?
@@EYExplore , hmm...that's seems awfully fast for an evening-light photo. You set that shutter speed (1/2500 sec.) yourself? I've never used that shutter speed in my life. :-)
Samuel (and Lukasz) - I’ve enjoyed all these videos…nice watching the two of you walk the streets. I’d really like you to elaborate a little about shooting in 5:4 if you have a chance…I’ve been really interested in these taller rectangular looks, and I’m just wondering how the *feel* of it is for you? Do you feel any more “boxed-in” like shooting a 50? Have you tried it with other focal lengths? 28 and 35 seem like they could be very nice for this ratio. A camera as high-res as the 850 seems ideal for playing with this.
Hey thanks for this interesting question! I started using 5:4 on my D850 in the beginning of this year because I discovered that I can display the 5:4 aspect ratio in the viewfinder. I loved the idea of challenging my sense for composition by trying a more rectangular format. I haven't 100% commited to it yet because I still use my little GR cameras that can't shoot in 5:4 so I find myself switching between 5:4 and 3:2 a lot. Whenever I use 3:2 for a while I find 5:4 to be too limiting. Whenever I use 5:4 for a while I find 3:2 to be too cinematic :) But I do love 5:4 because it creates a calmness to the images. It makes the images look more like paintings in my opinion. And subjects can be placed in the middle without the frame feeling empty. In terms of lens choices for this format, I agree that a 28mm or 35mm is really good for 5:4. 28mm will feel more like 35mm because the edges that most often have some distortion are cut off by the 5:4 ratio. Therefore images feel intimate but not wide angle. I am using a 40mm on my D850 a lot and I love that it is a little wider than 50mm. But with the 5:4 aspect ratio the images feel more like 50mm to me. I personally prefer the look or feel I am getting with 3:2 images shot on the 40mm compared to the 5:4 shots with the 40mm. But when using 28mm and 40mm simultaneously they complement each other very welll. I want to experiment with it a little more and maybe I will talk about it in a future video. So far I am still learning how to make good use of it.
@@SamuelStreetlife An eventual video about it would be great. I totally agree with what you're saying about calmness...I've been looking at medium format film cameras quite a bit lately because they often shoot in these taller rectangles, and the word I've been using in my head is "stately." I have a 50mm 1.2 and the really tasty 28mm 2.8 AIS lens with my FE body, so I'm very tempted to get into one of these suddenly-quite-cheap D850s and embrace the manual-focus mirror-slap lifestyle. I started on a Canon A-1 in the 80s, so the focus ring doesn't scare me! Thanks for responding!
Sam, I think the trimmed mustache is actually a plus with street photography. The mustache, beard and nice shirt creates that artist vibe putting subjects more at ease. On the other hand, some random creepy unkept white guy in a white t-shirt would worry me in the USA. In Japan he is some nutty tourist.
I don't think that's fair. Also, Premiere kinda screws up the final look of photos when adding them to a video, which I lazily don't correct for (it doesn't happen to every photo). In the end it's just different editing. Sam went for a more natural look, and I tend to edit for a high-contrast vivid look. I think if we did a SOOC JPG comparison they would not look that different. :)
@@EYExplore for clarity, I wasn't saying the photographs taken with the d850 look worse, I was just saying that to my eye when watching the video the actual files themselves did not look anywhere near as good. I appreciate the video compression, looking at them through the medium of youtube, etc., and also the difference in editing styles, but I can only comment on what I can see. I don't think a SOOC jpeg comparison would be particularly helpful, because that would just be a comparison of SOOC jpegs and not the 'quality' of the raw files.
@@MikeKleinsteuber at any level if it gets you the shots your looking for. Seems like you have a beef with Nikon. Nikon has been around for decades creating memories and making people happy like myself
How could it be that photographers photograph people they don't care about, why take the picture of the drunk guy when you absolutely don't care about him. Try to imagine from his perspective. Is it just because you're out with your camera to do photography?
It‘s actually the opposite. We wouldn‘t take pictures of people if we don‘t care about them. But not on an individual level. Yes it was an easy and somewhat sneaky shot but in the end he is part of citylife and Street Photography celebrates life on the streets. Me personally I take photographs of people (it‘s more about the overall scene) because they reflect the current state of society. The fashion, the tech they use, jobs, activities they do in public. That‘s all worth photographing. I‘m sure Lukasz has the same mind set. Look up Greg Girard and see what he has photographed in Asian countries for example. It‘s all photographs from past decades with lot‘s of seemingly mundane and uninteresting people but because he took these photographs at a time foreign to us (because we were born in the late 80’s) his images are very valuable to us.
It's not about caring / not caring. It's about mindfully accepting the world as it is and sharing that perspective with others. I didn't put the man there. He was there, I accepted that, and made a picture. I don't really know why exactly I took the picture at the deepest level of my soul. I can only say that the drama of the moment was interesting. But anyway there is an urge to do so and I just go with it. I apply this to everything I shoot. It is there, it catches my interest, so I shoot. I do make exceptions if I feel the act of photographing might harm someone. Which is why I said in this case the anonymity of the subject removes some of the ethical considerations. But I've definitely refrained from taking photos of people in way that might compromise their dignity. Or, I did take the photo but never published it. So, I am just capturing and sharing those scenes that interest me for all kinds of reasons. Maybe that will have value some day, or maybe it is a big waste of time and energy. I really don't know.

I do make exceptions if I feel the act of photographing might harm someone. Which is why I said in this case the anonymity of the subject removes some of the ethical considerations. But I've definitely refrained from taking photos of people in way that might compromise their dignity. Or, I did take the photo but never published it. So, I am just capturing and sharing those scenes that interest me for all kinds of reasons. Maybe that will have value some day, or maybe it is a big waste of time and energy. I really don't know.
16:48 that's beautiful!
Thanks! :)
