do crime scene photogrphers

you forgot the music concert shooters using their crappy cell phones. They're holding up their cameras in vertical mode so they get only 1 person in the band in frame, but they get everyone standing in front of them and the ceiling, instead of the entire band. And they're jumping up and down so that camera is shaking all over the pace.

I have an a1 and photograph bees on my lilacs...

@@jalexanderevans not enough photographers do that.

Wann sell some gear to a photo student And upgrade?

Wanna*:)

Yes, old and retired, cannot walk far, had time to accumulate gear once I retired, old enough to appreciate digital compared to film, have some money to add new (used) gear (come on R7). Had foresight to leave city I was born in and earned enough money to buy a house with a nice yard surrounded by meadows and woods on the glacial moraine of the driftless area. My wife plants flowers hummingbirds like and fills the bird feeders. Sitting here with coffee watching morning birds coming in on a cloudy day with diffuse light. Oops, gotta go have my new (used) canon 2xII with my old (used) 500 f4 I on my 7dII and a rose-breasted grossbeak just landed on the new branch stick I put up yesterday. The front branch is lower than the back, so yhou will be able to see the fn bird. Be envious you young bucks, my backyard is somewhere you would walk to....

That is my pet project!

oh yeah I can relate

🤮

and child/baby camera button pushers.

Add photographers who take semi naked photos of pregnant women,…

Thank you for mentioning Astro photography. I got into regular photography just Street and wildlife because of my interest in getting into astrophotography. But astrophotography is just way funner and the things you can capture in the night sky to me are way more beautiful than anything mankind has to offer at the time. Partially joking I mean I've seen something fantastic street photography and landscape photography and I love some macro photography. But man when you process your first image of a nebula or a Galaxy it's a feeling you will never ever forget.

@@astroadventures3559 meh, I see stars all the time. 😪

@@JoseHerrerawl not like I take photographs of them you don't. I take photographs of the great Orion Nebula with the running Man nebula the horse head and flame nebulous side by side. I photographed entirely different galaxies with red greens blues in them. I'm not talking about taking pictures of the sky at night talking about astral photography completely different thing. And if you have seen real photography and don't think it's impressive then I question your judgment. Not to be rude or harsh just saying.

@@astroadventures3559 I said that in jest, along with the theme of the video. I’m sure you do great work. 👍

@@JoseHerrerawl oh man I'm really sorry dude I didn't pick up on that. That's probably cuz I'm an idiot LOL but my apologies I didn't mean to take it the wrong way. I should have picked up on that. I've never heard of anybody seeing images of deep space in the stars like that and not being amazed LOL

So the 14mm shot with the thousand mm moon doesn't fool you? To me it's the phony baloney pumped up milky way colours.

I can see the that some people are rightly excited to master the technical challenges astro poses. As to the outcomes I wonder how today's picture is different to the one made 10 years ago or another person's 100km away. Therefore I assume that astro's excitement lies mostly in the process that precedes the final picture which then serves as validation. But isn't that the case for all photography?

I saw a picture of a person standing on a hill top silhouetted against a gigantic moon - and I tried to work out what telephoto lens could do that. That sized moon... the proportions, the sharpness of the person's outline. Scratching my head. It never occurred to me it was more likely a composite piece of B.S. foolery. There should be a law.

Was about to say this haha, that's the part that makes being a Street creep the best though! The process of getting a great shot despite all the unknown variables along the way

@@BrandonSoum I know, right? So many unknowns makes the actual shot you get that much better.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that commercial product, sports and fashion photography is more demanding because there are actual requirements, no hiding behind "capturing day to day life and pulse of the city". Then there's wildlife that's a lot more uncomfortable than walking around with a latte in the city. Or astro and nightlife with several hours long timelapses that need to be set up perfectly. They reap rewards though, street photography has a low entry barrier but it's incredibly challenging to do something interesting with it. I don't think i've seen a single interesting example of the genre, really.

Street photography is about unique moments. Life at an 'extreme'. It requires alertness to see the moment. It is wildlife photography with humans as a subject. It is about capturing the subject's essence. That requires that one literally faces the subject in its natural and as far as possible unrestricted environment. So no pictures from behind unless the object of interest is on the back like e.g. a tattoo. With living things the essence lies mostly in action, a bird sitting on a branch doing nothing but sit there IMO does not capture 'essence'. Neither do the average pictures of animals in a zoo, the human equivalent being portrait photography. No matter what your genre is to transcend the boundaries so that one also captures some of the things beyond the obvious is the photographer's challenge.

@@fredriksvard2603 It's not a contest, you're equating the worth of photography to deadlines or monetary compensation. We can't all do the same thing and most of us don't do it for a paycheck. Even if you have such disdain for street it's still a form of expression and an art form worth respecting.

That's it. I'm getting into divorce photography. I hear it's quite lucrative. Maybe. I could make some business cards and get my wedding-photographer friends to hand them out at their next gigs. That will go over well, I'm sure.

Horrible skin from being outside too long and dealing with hundreds of SD cards with tens of thousands of photos they have to sieve through!

The youtubers are creeps too

Why? You are just capturing what everyone can see. I have a simple rule for myself, a firm resolve to "not to show people in an unflattering light". I discard such pictures even if they are funny or amusing. It is one reason I keep away from shooting homeless people, beggars, etc. One needs to respect people and their circumstances. I belief if that is done then there is some instant mysterious communication and people often 'help' with some spontaneous gestures.

Just use a bigger rig and people will get in front of the camera lol.

@@hydromaniac7117 true, some people like to pose and be photographed.

Usually I want to kill these things, not take pictures of them.

Don’t be bro- Dope name btw

@@videogame-techreviews 😂😂

I’ve been thinking that same thing

lll-lOOOZer!!

Yeah, that was sad. He does this sound effect with his mouth for burst shooting that is absolutely hilarious.

"Street photography is truth, those that value free speech and democracy should support it " It's not absolute though. There needs to be sensible restrictions on what ya'll can take pictures of.

How did you get the bannhammer emoji? What black magic is this!

@@david.stachon did I say that? No, in fact I’ve never been a fan of super close invasive street photography a la Bruce Gilden as it isn’t a real depiction of life and it’s also rude. But absolute bans on Street photography is something that should worry people. The worst countries in the world have always had this “no candid photo” policy in common as it lets police arrest people taking photos local authorities may not want the world seeing (of protests for example, this happened in Manila just last year). I have seen some pretty ridiculous bad press on street photography, as I said the same people that will say it’s okay for social media to be manipulated (as long as it supports their agenda) or monitoring of emails is okay (if you’ve nothing to hide…) they make people afraid of a guy carrying a camera taking pics when all this is going on. A friend of mine was worried about street photographers when I asked him why he honestly didn’t know and then realised it wasn’t that big a deal. There are very simple existing laws to stop perverts and creeps in most countries around public decency and personal space, ie jumping in front of someone with a flash is low level assault and not something I would ever support, but then again this bad behaviour is less than 1% of street photographers.

@@hubbablahloo1843 join @Camera Conspiracies as a channel member “one of us…one of us” 🤓

@@david.stachon what sensible restrictions?

Not mention that we slowly wander through public parks and alleyways, staring intensely at the grass for hours. Doesn’t help that when we actually take a photo, we have bizarre diffusers attached to our cameras and we slowly rock back and forth like Rain Man trying to get the focus right. We are not normal people.

I'd look at a few other videos talking about camera sensors and their ability to still take amazing pictures. Megapixles describes only one part of photography so miniscule that you'd be fooling yourself thinking that a higher megapixle count leads to "better" photography. That sounds pretty harsh, (sorry about that), but I don't want you to waste your money on something that won't fit your needs. All the best! :) Okay so I realized that what I said had little to do with what you actually asked. Yeah I'm in the same boat 🤣
