These street photography challenges are always so inspiring to me, especially because of the asking permission to take someone's photo, since I'm way too shy to do that, so I never get those photos... but I might, now that I've seen it done again and it's so easy.

  • @b0ddo
    @b0ddo 4 роки тому

    Great to see you having challenges with people you met on the streets! But this video shows that, even though it's a challenge and a lot of fun, street photography on a tight schedule does not yeld the best photos. This is more suitable to the photojurnalistic genre, because the story there is likely very powerful and stunning. Here, there are just people going by their evening, nothing special. So it is your job as a photographer to make the image interesting. Don't get me wrong, all these photos are better than what I can shoot, but you have better results when you take your time. Still, a very very good way to hone your skills in using the tool (camera) and becaome a fast thinker. Great video all-in-all, pleasure to watch.

    - Take time to move the focus point? Or zone?
    - Use focus tracking?
    - Use face detection?

      ​@@Pierretlambert That's a *great* idea,. except I currently don't have a phone (so no Instagram access at the moment either) and if I were to use someone else's phone I'd be at a distinct disadvantage. At the moment I'm trying to get the funds together for a new (new to me I mean, I'd happily settle for second-hand) much more recent camera than my (nearly) 10yr old, slow, almost featureless APS-C Samsung NX11 but without a F/T job it's an utter nightmare.
      If I went digital, I'd be aiming for either a Sony A7III or A7RIII, Panasonic S1R, or maybe even a Nikon D810 or D850 - if I went with film, I'd go for either a Rolleiflex 2.8F TLR or a variant of the Mamiya RZ67 or EVEN maybe a Hasselblad 500CM all medium format cameras of course.
      The over-riding factors for me in my situation though would be primary cost, running costs and practicality.
