I love that you put up the settings used for each image. I just purchased the A6400 and iam learning how to utilise the settings better. I sit and watch your POV'S and call out what I think you have shot the image at before you place it up. This has been helping me to learn. Thank you so much for sharing your POV'S.
Dude! Your street photography is absolutely amazing. You really know how to motivate people to go out there and shoot just by doing what you do. I'm a fan. Thanks
I am absolutely gobsmacked. This is beyond next-level and otherworldly, right now. This is straight up majestically ethereal, and that, too, with my favourite lens for my a6700. The capabilities of this lens are just unprecedented, to put it sparingly.
Thanks for the inspiration. I have this exact camera and lens. I've been shooting street with the X100V and you've inspired me to try and shoot street with this lens.
I love that lens! I mostly use it for portraits. For street stuff, I need a longer range, since I like to go in tight. I’ll use my Sony 18-135 if I’m lazy lol, or my Sigma 70-200 if I’m striving for the best possible pics.
Love the street POV videos Curtis. I cannot wait to get my A6400. Which lens would you recommend as a great first lens. I want it to be budget friendly but great for street photography, automotive, and some landscapes. Cannot wait to start capturing 📸
Quality POV, pics and running commentary, pacing too, Curtis. Got a “fix” of trams as well.😊 Fav images are the folks in red - lady in Chinatown, and runner by arches. Noticed “new” (?) Softbox in background. Don’t recall if you did a post about product photography. Have you? If not, would be a nice change of pace and widen your subject. Cheers!
I added Sigma 56 to my Cart (for one of the first none-kitlens lenses il get). (My only current lense is the kit for Sony A6400: 16-50mm). Now i just need to figure out if my 3rd lense will be WIDE for architecture and landscapes or Narrower\more zoomed for the even less "In your face" street stuff and such.
it would be cool to make a night POV video in Germany, I would suggest in winter since many cities have Christmas markets, and lots of Christmas lighting. I made impressive photos in Düsseldorf at sunset next to the Rhein river and right after sunset in the old streets. Berlin was good, although I missed the river as an element in some pictures. to fix this I would recommend rather Frankfurt, pictures from the bridges (city skyline), from the shore of Main river and also pictures in Römerplatz and finincial district. there are some spots where you have a view of modern skyscrapers as backgrounds and older buildings on the sides, difficult to explain here, your vision starts from the older street and is tunneled far toward the centre where the skyscrapers are. I liked this composition too. anyway, go there and enjoy
Love these videos. I live in Manchester and just beginning and wish I was as confident as you taking photos of people. A couple of questions... do you shoot aperture priority for some of these? I see the exposure meter on a lot of shots are not 0, do you mainly just make sure you're no more than -1 or +1 away from the middle, or use the histogram so its always spread out? You should do a tutorial on how to set the camera up and the best settings. Keep up the great work.
Hello Curtis, I have a short now A6400. I love your streetphoto’s Can you give me a advice how to colorgrade this pictures. And which lens have you use there? Thanks and go on!
I would like to ask a question. In the maximum videos in which you show the photo sample, the color has changed. So that color change is automatic or after editing or with the help of lens ?
Great video as always Curtis, you give me ideas every time you come to Manchester, but also I do like seeing your tale on images I’ve already taken myself, obviously your edit is usually completely different but otherwise many are quite similar to what us Manchester Photographers take. Now I need to start uploading to Instagram again, plus remember to use your new #, snap, I wasn’t keen on #cpphotos either.
Could you help me with a question, which one uses rgb- or srgb, which profile does it use if it is for portraits? or standard; In the camera I have seen that many photographers use raw files without editing, they have beautiful colors, my camera is an a6400 and a sigma 30mm 1.4, also congratulations for that great work and the passion that you put into the photographs
Hey mate, Thanks for loads of knowledge bombs you drop on every video. I enjoyed and was curious about the photography. I am planning to buy a Sony A6400 camera as a beginner and for our family travelling day to day use. Just wondering what are the ideal lenses for my purposes. We live in New Zealand, and quite scenic areas here mainly use for our travels. Thanks
i want to upgrade from my rebel t7 and ive been looking at 3 options the zve10 the a6400 and the new a6700 im not quite sure which one to go for the a6700 is a higher budget and the rest are cheaper and i can get more lenses for a cheaper price but the only downside i hate about the a6400 is the tilt screen i like the flippy screen that the zve10 and a6700 have but im looking for a camera that can do photography and video or mainly photo and can still do great video if i choose to do some videography any input? or what a6000 series cameras would u recommend if i were to go with getting one?
Amazing video as usual! Quick question, when I shoot with the 56mm at 1.4, my images aren't as sharp. Is that just to do with the shutter speed, do you use a particular focus mode, of do you do something in your edits? Would love to hear!
I do! But I want that depth of field in the picture, like Curtis’ photo’s. He uses a low aperture in most of the picture, therefore my question! Thanks for the reply though 🙌🏼
Thanks mate! 🔥 In terms of sharp photos I do some post-production but try keep it moderate so it doesn't look over done. However, shutter speed, Apeture and ISO is all a big part of it. Making sure your using the right settings in the right situation. I can't see why you shouldn't be achving sharp results cause this lens always Delivers from my hands on experience. Do hope that has helped mate! ✌️
hi nice video .. have a question ... what to to buy this sony a7600 and this lens ..can this lens zoom a bit? if not can i zoom with the camera by pressing a button? even if the lens does not have the ability to zoom? sorry for the dumb question but im new in this world of photography or it's stable thks :)
I’m looking at buying the ZV-E10 or the A6400 with this 56mm F1.4 Lens. I’m preferring the ZV at the moment for the Flip out screen to get low down shots would be interested in your thoughts ? Great videos by the way.
My budget is £1k, would you say this camera would be the best for this price range? Watching your videos the photo quality is amazing and from what Im aware from video footage which will be about 30-40% of the time I use it,, it's worth just buying a gimbal?
Hi✌️I have a question. Do you use lense compensation when you are editing? Would you use the camera internal lens comp.-function for this lense when shooting jpegs?
You're really doubling down on me wanting to snag this 56 as my next prime. I'm just debating if I wanna go any further than that, I know I need to tighten up already because the 30 I'm using isn't great for shooting people in street since I have to be very close to them.
BTW, dear Curtis, how to make payments outside of UK? Can you activate PayPal ? I would love to purchase your presets during the discount period, but due to geographical reasons, I can only use paypal to pay for that.....OMG
Yes, just change the aperture. He used the aperture of F1.4 for the shallow depth of field. Shallow meaning only a shallow portion of the field is in focus creating out of focus backgrounds or foregrounds. A desired effect of the lens setting of F1.4. Also known as subject separation. You can set the lens aperture to something else such as F4 but that won't give the out of focus (blurry as you say) backgrounds. Most lenses don't have the capability of F1.4
@@CurtisPadley Are there more a6700 videos to come from you? That's great if so! I'm trying to get as much info as possible. I feel like I've watched every video on UA-cam about it aha. Once its released there will be lots more content ovs but I'm just impatient 🤣

Is a6600 better than a6400?

Dude! Your street photography is absolutely amazing. You really know how to motivate people to go out there and shoot just by doing what you do. I'm a fan. Thanks
I loved the one where two people are chilling in a Van. Overall, amazing photos. I wish we could do a POV together!
Ayyy thanks, appreciate it! 🤙

Cool shots. Seeing all the settings for each shot makes watching the video much more interesting 🙂
wow! More vids like this man!!! its an awesome way of teaching compositions and settings for beginners like me XD kudos!!
The way subjects basically float off of the background with the 56mm yet still somehow grounded is addicting
Gotta love that camera 🔥
Such an amazing pocket rocket!
I love this lens! I am learning as well on an A6400 but the Sigma lens is a game changer
Great POV Curtis, the Tram shots were insane as always 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Leo! 🤙

What picture profile are you running. Your photos have like a light tint to them
8:35 that lamborghini shot!
I'm curious about how far the distance of object to your lens? are you using digital zoom in 7:35 ?

Great job! What is the AF mode you used?
Hello, I am very fond of your videos. you use A mode or full manual in street photography.
Thnks
Hi dude always great hearing that! 😄 To answer your question I shoot in Manual mode all the time, hope that helps! 🤙
Should I get that lens even if I hava sigma 18-50 2.8 already? What do you think? Or should I get something at different focal lens?
What focus mode do you normally use for street photography?
Would this lens be any good for landscape and seascape. Fancy buying a new lens for my trip to Cornwall 😊
Have you done an edit on your presets. I'm thinking of purchasing them but would like to see them in action if possible?
All the before and after in this pov show my presets in action ✌️ will be doing some editing tutorials in the future for sure! 🤙
This was beautiful through and through ❤️

I am in the exact same boat but @curtispadley wont reply 😢
Yo bro, do we still multiply the aperture to 1.5 if we are using it on Aps C lens just like the focal length?
What type of pov camera do you use and I’m guessing it’s on your chest?
Awsome ❤
16:10 that’s my motor!

Raise your aperture to like 3-6 to get sharper pics
I do! But I want that depth of field in the picture, like Curtis’ photo’s. He uses a low aperture in most of the picture, therefore my question!

primes never zoom, it's not physically possible

Hey curious which one did you choose?
I like it. I like my sigma 16 1.4 too but I love my helios 58 2.
Nice video Curtis! May i ask what mic do you use for talking? Thanks
None, just the gopro does a great job
Hey CP, is it same as Viltrox 56 Please?
Can we pair with a6600 or stick with kit lens 18 135mm zoom lens pls

I can't recommend this focal length enough mate, honestly it's so good for street portraits 📷
My a6700 will arrive next week, and I'm starting to miss the days when I used the a6400
A6700 is a great upgrade dude! 🤙
Don’t forget to add the new IG tag to the video description text.
BTW, dear Curtis, how to make payments outside of UK? Can you activate PayPal ? I would love to purchase your presets during the discount period, but due to geographical reasons, I can only use paypal to pay for that.....OMG
how are you using zoom with this lens please ?
You don’t have a zoom with this lens, it’s a prime lens so one fixed focal length
would u trust ebay for camera bodies
this 56mm lens is 80/85mm for apsc or full frame?
Similar to the 85mm for full frame
Is this a full frame camera? If not that means 56mm turns into about 70mm correct?
No. As I mentioned at the start of the video, this is an 85mm equivalent for APS-C cameras. It's not a Fullframe camera. Hope that helps! 🙌
Is a 6600 is better than a6400?
Why does it keep blurring the background? Is there a setting to avoid that?
Yes, just change the aperture.
He used the aperture of F1.4 for the shallow depth of field. Shallow meaning only a shallow portion of the field is in focus creating out of focus backgrounds or foregrounds. A desired effect of the lens setting of F1.4. Also known as subject separation.
You can set the lens aperture to something else such as F4 but that won't give the out of focus (blurry as you say) backgrounds.
Most lenses don't have the capability of F1.4
😍😍😍
Has all the people you snapped agreed to be publishised?
Street photography is fully legal in the UK so don't need permission 👍🇬🇧
Do you think the a6700 is worth the upgrade from the a6400?
Have to get back to you on that one when I've tested it! But possibly ✌️
