Glad to see a video about upping one's game rather than a video that promotes buying stuff.

Thanks. I don't like to promote buying but sometimes a new gear presentation can be useful too.

Hello Matti, A really good observation about the difference in telephoto versus wide angle lenses as they affect street photographs. The idea of getting the viewer inside the scene as opposed to being a distant observer is going to be helpful to me.

Excellent advice Matti. On a recent trip to Mexico I asked for permission before taking photos of individuals and no one said no. In fact, most gave a beautiful pose and a smile for me.

Thanks for sharing! Yeah, that's the way to go. If they say no you just move on.

Hi Matti, you made some really good points like to go out shooting by yourself. We don't need distractions like there phone ringing. I think it's good to stay in one place to take photos. There are so many great compositions just waiting to be snapped in a small area. Well said Matti about respect, and we need to have etiquette. There are some things in photography that we shouldn't cross the line. Nice pictures, enjoy your stay in Melbourne. Thanks Matti 😊

As photographers we don't have any special privileges. And every time we go out with our gear we represent our fellow craftsman. So don't be that jerk. Stereotypes may not be true but they exist - just like when you see a Tesla being driven recklessly and start to wonder if all Tesla drivers are like that.

Great advice, as always. I usually use small cameras in the street but on one occasion last year I took a Sigma SD15 (large DSLR) with 18-55. I thought it would make me very conspicuous but I found people ignored me as usual! Maybe I'm invisible.... You should consider a hat with a brim to protect the tops of your ears from the sun - I learnt this the hard way (my ears stick out further than yours though).

Thanks for sharing! I've been thinking about another hat but done nothing about it😀 I use sunscreen every day though.

Moi Matti, I just took the leap and purchased the GR iiix and after about a week in Thailand I couldn’t be more happy. Sure, the autofocus struggles in darkness creating some limitations, but having done some Night Market and Walking Street late night fotos I’m super satisfied and happy I made the purchase. Former owner of a Fujifilm X100F and just recently returned the X100V I think the portability and “stealthiness” of the GR just gives it the extra edge and advantage. Also I think pictures come out way sharper, at least compared to my former X100F. Your channel is highly appreciated Matti. Warm thanks and greetings from a fellow Finn. 👍👍

Thanks so much for you kind words. The GR has its limitations but the upsides far outweigh them. Good to hear you enjoy your GR3x

Excellent video, thank you! I'm struck by how clear your audio was, on what looked like a windy day in an urban environment. Do you mind sharing your mic setup, and if you used software post processing?

@mattisulanto 3 ай бұрын

At the end of the video you can see my gear for this video. I'm not an audio specialist but I process the audio for every video. My skills are not good for any heavy processing though and I just fine tune the output.

Great tips Matti. I get out for a street session every couple of weeks. But lately I’ve noticed people dodging me or turning their backs to me. And on my last walk a group of shady guys called me out. Luckily I was at a train stop so I could get away quickly. But it made me a bit wary of going out alone. I definitely prefer being out alone too but as a small woman with camera gear, I need to be safe. Do you feel safe?

@mattisulanto 3 ай бұрын

Thanks. I'm sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience. I have never felt threatened or unsafe during a street session. However, I can see that getting into a less favorable situation is possible.

@trishfre2 3 ай бұрын

Totally agree with you, being also a small female, and possibly much older. I‘ve been mugged once, don‘t want to go there again, and I wasn‘t even doing street photography, more nature images.

Yes, I was car-jacked, out alone in a park. Car stolen and wrecked. Now I only got to places where people are. I feel, and probably look vulnerable, so am more careful. Unfortunately we now live in a world gone mad. I also subscribe to your channel.

@@trishfre2 That’s terrible! Someone here was carjacked out photographing owls on a country road. They stepped out to take photos and left the car running as it was cold. The thieves dumped the car later but of course all the photo gear was gone. Yes we need to be vigilant and stay safe.

Matti, you are travelling a lot. Seem that half a year you are on holiday travelling around the world. So You Tubing is very profitable 🙂🙂🙂🙂. Maybe it is your a=Ambassador for Sony 🙂🙂🙂. Anyway, great video and great idea to travel and make street photography. Great tips.

Not all the photos in the video are from the GR3x. That particular photo is from the Sony a6700 and it's processed in Lightroom using one of my own presets as a starting point.

The area you’re in has millions of surveillance cameras in the world, they have got more pictures of you than you capture any pictures along the street 😝 living in a controlled freak country, street photography is becoming less hunger for me. Enjoy your trip.🙏
