It's almost frustrating how good you are at finding great compositions/storytelling moments. I keep learning from you all the time!

I love how you just have the background sounds of walking through a city. It was so calming and so much better than the irritating stock music so many KZfaqrs use.

Loved this James! the sounds as you walk around the streets just draws you in. Great shots as well.... Also - creative thinking for you print names ;)

This was a really chill video, definitely liked having the ambient sounds of the city rather than an obnoxious soundtrack over the top. Great work!

Goes to show you how much more observing and trying different perspectives are more impactful than gear and settings.

One of my all-time favorites. I could have watched an hour of this.

Hi, great video, is it possible to see a few before and after editing of some of these photos? Im interested in the cropping youve needed to do as much as the shadows etc. thanks,

There's nearly nothing I enjoy more than wandering round an interesting city with my camera with no other objective than taking photos, exploring and a decent meal! Thanks for the video.

That was a fun video. I love the point you made about everyone not taking the same photo and also mentioning that not every photo you took was a keeper. That's something that still gives me problems, expecting every shutter click to be a keeper. Thanks for the video, cheers!

Cool photos! I second Nigel’s observation that when you include the audio while wandering the streets, it really draws we viewers into the experience.

Hi James, I live in Italy and spent a couple of years in Venice, so I was particularly fascinated by the way you managed to catch not just the touristy side of the city, but the everyday aspects of the people who actually live there, rather than just visit. You even passed my son's old primary school... quite a trip down memory lane!

2:41 wowwwww the way shes enjoying that sun . i love that photo

Great video James. Love the extraordinary shots of ordinary things👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great captures. Always enjoy the dialogue!

Great stuff, you make street photography look effortless and easy. Something I've struggled to be comfortable with when dipping my toes in it in the past, but this looked pretty fun. Was nice to see the streets of Venice again.

You have captured some good photos of this lovely lady. Love the portraits.

Of all photos you took there James, 9:33 is my favorite

The environmental sound is the perfect soundtrack to this video. Thank you for that! 🙏

Ive never been bothered about street until recently when i plucked up the courage to do some and i really enjoyed it. It was good to see you doing some and what great shots too, i loved the little dog with the ball. Would be great if you could do a street photography editing tutorial, your edits made the images really pop. Something i struggle with sadly. Great work James 👍👍👍

Lovey to see you break out of your “usual” style, and got some great shots to boot.

Brings back memories, Thanks.

This video makes me homesick ...... sooooo beautiful

What a wonderful way to spend a few moments on a Saturday morning. Such fond memories. Thank you.

Maan, what you just said in the 3:29 is so correct.

Loved the laid-back, relaxed feel of this video! Being able to listen just to the ambient noise of the city was really calming and immersed me in the video and photos, would love to see more like this!

I loved seeing all the parts of Venice that I remembered from various visits. Thanks for that.

Great video James! Keep in mind that in Italy is illegal to take photos of recognizable people without a written consent, so be careful with the publications. It's not a problem if you keep the photos for yourself, without sharing them on the web/print/etc... Cheers!

Nice shots and lovely colors!

I really do love your POV videos. Besides learning a lot it's somehow soothing! I'm always looking forward to watch your's and Nigel's videos on the weekend. Thanks for that!

I admire how easily you take pictures of people. I always shy out somehow, which probably is stupid..

I miss living near Livorno (Tirrenia). Thanks for the video, brought back some good memories.

James, your street photography is really good. You really should do more of this! Love it!

Always love a james popsys content. It's a good serotonin if you may.

The bird shots were totally amazing--those and the gondolier sitting with his legs crossed.

Always very cool to see the buildings that I've seen paintings of. Cool.

You should do more of this. Brilliant 👍

What a great mid-winter boost. THANK YOU.

Your photos are breathtaking. You have an amazing eye for seeing content with astonishingly beautiful colors. Thanks again.

I love this lens, it is my walk around lens

James I know this is going to cause controversy but I have hand held my Pentax DSLR cameras for up to 11 hours I like the way they feel in my hands and ergonomics of the cameras. Especially the camera grip in my hands. I prefer my Sigma 18-250 lens for street as it gives more flexibility to photograph the scene.

I agree with whatever Nigel says ….. and I love the person shadow shoots!

Loved it. Love your style. Come to NYC and host a photo walk, plz!!

Nice series. Most enjoyable.

Thank you James - the Photography KZfaq channel that I love watching the most - simple as that 👏

POV photo taking is really the best way for viewers to experience the photo taking alongside you, kudos to that! Here's a few observations 1) I could tell that with a 50mm, you get the benefit of shooting people from quite the distance away without infringing in their personal space. 2) But 50mm also means the background becomes somewhat compressed, meaning instead of a whole building, you only capture a crop of it in the background. 3) Shooting with a small aperture is great. Since the background is already compressed, trying to blur it away with a large aperture just removes the much needed context and weakens the photo usually. 4) Flares can be used artistically to enhance a photo.

This was enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along for the walk around Venice.

Great video, and weirdly taught me something I'd never thought of, Venice doesn't have cars, it's obvious now you say it, but I'd never considered it. Makes me really want to visit it now.

Not the usual JP video, but great none the less. Some really nice shots there James. More of this! 👍

Great idea with streetphotography. I love people who don't limit themselves to just their niche. Enjoyed watching this POV.

Really enjoy when you shoot street. I think the 50mm in such tight spaces forces you to be creative, instead of just going for the wide "easy" shots. Maybe the tighter focal length mimics the narrow alleys and tight spots in the city...maybe, lol. Anywho, great video and shots!

Loads of amazing pictures from this outing James - super inspiring!

Great pictures James, I love the one at 10:02 (of course)

Mate, you should do more street photography! Amazing shots!

Great to see more of your street photography, hope to see more in the future!

wow, I really enjoyed this video, so relaxing to watch, and I love street photography, I feel need to go out and take some pictures! love how you see things

Crispy ass photos @JamesPopsys...Loving your captures. G'Day from Australia

Hi James, I really enjoyed the video, a nice change of pace. I see what you mean about having a wider and narrower option, but you certainly got some interesting shots with the 50mm lens. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see you shooting street again James. I picked up Sony 135mm GM recently, worried about it being too long, but have found it amazing, on my other body I have the Sony 20mm G, so a wider and longer setup

Wow. Thank you, your videos are always fun, interactive and so educational!

I have been to Venice a couple of times and loved it. You have produced an excellent video here that is interesting, informative and brings back great memories. Thanks James.

Great video James. Marvellous snippets in time and place, made all the more enjoyable by the “natural soundtrack”

Every photo was amazing and I like how calm the city is with no cars. Really loved this one pov

Love the images, James. Some great compositions👍

I very much liked your street photos. I can't often say that to anyone often as street photography is not always my favorite. Nice job, beautiful place.

Well that was fun!! My wife is shouting from the sofa ... "that's what I miss the most about Scotland ... its proximity to Europe!" followed by ... "he's nice buy an Iceland print!" 😁

Greatly appreciate you showing us Italy from your POV James. Love the solar photography and the sun kissed pictures you mixed in. Just Lovely

I love this video James. I keep coming back to it for inspiration when im off out with my camera on very bright days.( not in Venice unfortunately).

Nice photos.. Hopefully, I can be there one day.. Venice is so beautiful 😍😍

That's one of the things I love so much about photography, seeing everyone's perspectives. Sometimes we are all so similar and others we are all so different. Our unique perspectives with both a camera and our souls are what makes life so cool. Great video and pictures James!

More like this!!!

I loved my time in Venice and I have travelled a lot around Italy. It is one big open air museum !

I've been in Venice twice and although a beautiful place, great to see it without all the tourists, great canvas to start with, thanks.

You got a few bangers, mate 😀 And I agree with Nigel, some clever thinking, which paid off well 🙂

Great video and a great portrait of Venice!

Ho James, I’m from Venice and it’s real fun to listen people speaking my own dialect 😂

Love this information & your videos

God I love these, it's so inspirational seeing how you find your shots in places. Love it.

Wow James! You made that look easy. Nice images. Bravo!

Many great photos in this one. I admire your talent. ✌️❤️🇺🇦

some awesome barrel distortion at times. Rather liked the effect. Terrific pictures. Loved it.

I have that lens and love it for travel. My 24-70 is big and heavy, but this little lens is a gem.

good video and nice street shots - hard doing it well in high contrast light ...

Two years ago (before corona, obviously) I was able to shoot street photography almost without any problem, people were not picky at all. Nowadays, you get angry looks, yelling, fear, sometimes even threats for deletion or any other harm... Hopefully this will change. Lost quite a lot of interest in street photography, to be honest... Nice to see, James, that you are doing your job well. Keep up the good work! :)

Loved to see you walking through some familiar streets and see your prospective to compare it to mine. Fantastic!

I seriously love your photography. I think you have an amazing eye. You are definitely right in regards to every photographer is difference in shots and editing style. I absolutely adored some of the shots that you made here and I would love to see those available as prints in the future. I could have easily watched you wander and shoot for quite a while longer.

Great video James! Such a nice street photography with beautiful colours and light!! Please do more videos like that!

That was so enjoyable watching and hearing some of the sights from my visit to Venice a few years ago. Wandering the alleyways at night is a great. Lovely video James.

Such good work, love your eye! Having fell in love with the RXR1RII I can't wait until an R version of the the A7C with 26MP crop mode comes out, paired with the miniscule Samyang 45mm 1.8

Excellent video! Really like the format of this walkabout.

I really love your landscape photography but these Street photography shots are just brilliant!

My god, you had beautiful light on this particular morning! We don`t get light like this here in Seoul, South Korea :(

Thanks James, your best video yet I think. Loved the ease with the way you shot and so many great shots! Would like to see the cropping and post work too.

This is one of my favorite videos. I really like street photography and you took some amazing shots. You should do more street photography videos. Thanks !

These really are lovely, beautiful work.

Totally forgot you liked a bit of Street Photography James, some great images there too, my mates going over to Venice soon. I was surprised you didn’t take a wider and faster lens with you, 50mm is great but for Street and also the Architecture I think the 24mm would be better.

That was fantastic James. Particularly loved the canal images and the one with the blurred seagull. And the one with the dog.

Haha! "price of coffee" Great shots! I need to visit Venice .. Just came back from Napoli and Pompeii, had a 28, 50 and 75mm MF primes. I also could have used a 24mm for those tight spaces. but sometimes I love to limit myself to just one or two primes. Makes you think more about composition and the creative process.

Man, it’s so cool to watch you nail these shots!

Wonderful video James. I spent a sunny January day in Venice with my Lumix a couple of years ago doing just the same thing. It's the perfect place for street photography!
