Thanks, Mike and Robert. That was truly entertaining on a young Friday evening. It was even inspiring for someone unlikely to point my camera at a human being unless I am safe in a camouflage tent with a 300 mm lens and shutter set to electronic to reduce chances of being approached (a slight exaggeration of the average introvert in public). Even though I am unlikely to walk up to strangers it is always a delight watching experienced professionals of anything thrive in their element.

Thank you @glacieractivity. I can tell from your comments that it's something you'd like to do - but it's too far outside your comfort zone right now. I'm doing a 1 day workshop in London this september where street will be involved on the photowalk part of the day. There's plenty to photograph besides people, but it would be the perfect place to grow your confidence because I'd be right by your side. Please take a look at the link below. If you come, I promise to help you... MB London September: www.photographycourses.biz/cdtp

Been watching you for a number of years now Mike, now, at the moment I’m recovering in bed after a hip replacement so I’ve been doing what I love, looking through inspirational photography vids, tips, tricks etc. Today I have hit a brick wall, if I see another sub framed shop doorway with a member of the public walking past I think I’ll scream. I’m finding this composition trick so cliche now, and and they are about as common as fish in the sea. I’ve lost count on how many I’ve watched today alone. Sorry for my negativity, perhaps it’s the pain I’m currently suffering as a result of a new hip. Sorry Mike, I really needed to get that off my chest. I know what you are thinking, get out with your camera, I’d love to. In fact as soon as I am fit enough I will. I love creativity.

Thanks both, I really enjoyed watching this video. As someone who would really like to try street photography, watching how Rob scouted and set-up his locations was truly inspirational. Particularly the amount of attention that he paid to the colour coordination between his chosen backgrounds and his subject's and the level of patience required to get 'that perfect shot'. The method of using 'planimetric staging' (which before tonight I had never heard of) works perfectly for this genre. I cannot wait to get out and try this for myself. Also, there is a great chemistry between you both which not only makes for great entertainment but also, very educational content. More please!!

Thanks Mike,. I am subscribed but hasn't seen this before, don't know why. I loved this video. One question, if it's not too long to answer, when you do street photography you talk about pre-setting the exposure, why don't you ever throw in auto-ISO? I mean, set the exposure within reason in manual and let auto-ISO fine tune it.

@MikeBrowne 4 ай бұрын

Hi @matsjonsson4019. Thank you for your kind comment. I don't use auto iso because when the shutter or aperture is changed so I can get a brighter or darker look, the auto ISO tinks the exposure is incorrect and over rides what I set. Any auto exposure mode will also change exposure as you change composition. Include more of something white and it'll darken the exposure. Include more of something dark and it'll brighten it. Eeven though they are both in the same light and should be the same exposure. If you're struggling with this please get on my Masterclass In Photography online course which will clear this and other ambiguities for you. You can even try it for free.

Hi Mike can you explain the tip re focusing for street photos you got from Gareth Danks in detail as I didn't really get it?

@MikeBrowne Жыл бұрын

Sure @242garyp. Different focal lengths have different depth of field. Short has more, long has less - until you hit the infinity point beyond which everything becomes sharp. So by using a short focal length of around 30mm and an aperture of f10 you have lots of depth of field to play with. Therefore you only need to use two focus zones. One for close and one for distant. There's a whole section about focal length, where to focus, Infinity and a ton more in my online Masterclass course. I've put a link for you below where you can enrol or try a free sample. I just realised I mistakenly put the wrong card link in my video at 3:57, it should have gone to Gareth's video about this focus hack, not just his channel. Sorry about that, I've updated it so you can go check Gareth's explanation out now. ... MB Masterclass: www.photographycourses.biz/masterclass

Hi @markbrown8251. Legally speaking in the UK you can in public places, but you cannot sell them comercially without a signed release from them. Depending on individuals, cultures and a variety of human factors someone may not like it and ask you not to / to delete it / or just ask why you did it. Each involving whatever response is appropriate. The most important thing is don't be sneaky about it because you'll come across as suspicious. When you're confident in your actions, people around you will have confidence in you and trust you. BUT be aware of cultural difference.

Does the world really need another picture of a person walking past a brightly coloured wall or shop front , All this talk of rule of third and the need for red objects etc… is just so done already , it’s time for street photographers to search for their own style and create new and innovative rather work than just repeating what has already been done by the greats of the past , let’s keep street photography interesting people
