Exposing for the highlights is one of the most valuable tips I’ve learnt. For me a 200 shutter and 2.8 aperture is always a good place to start.

Great video. There is another train of thought I read for street photography a lot is that you should set the ISO and shutter speed to Auto and this frees you up to concentrate on the composition. I found when shooting with my R5 I followed your advice but when I used my x100v I used auto a lot. Some of my best shots are from the 100v, so much so that I am in the process of selling my Canon equipment to buy a Leica Q3.

Good basics and video. Covered day and night and exposures. Depth is a helpful tool but like any image based upon preferences. Night time you can shoot as slow as 1/30th sec handheld without much issue. Use your frame and look where strong light source is at night and build a shot from there. Ironically street photography is raw and film with grain and such was part of the landscape of choices and seldom hear of it from content creators who never shot film.

@agent01soul 2 жыл бұрын

1/30th is too slow for anything that is moving unless you want motion blur as an aesthetic choice. Minimum I use is 1/200th to 1/400th. 1/200th for normal movevement, 1/400th fast movement. The higher you can get shutter speed the better. Anything under 1000 iso is fine. The shorter the focal lenght of the lens the wider you can open the aperture and still have a large depth of field. You can shoot F 5.6 or lower on a 35mm lens and everting will be in focus.

Great tips ! Would you consider shooting in Aperture Priority for street photography as well ? Sometimes I end up missing the shot or beign too late because I was adjusting the Manual settings.

@MikeChudley 3 жыл бұрын

that's very true - I stick to manual as I do believe having the most customisation will allow you to get the best shot. But if it's not quick enough then using something like aperture p can help for sure.

I recently returned to photography, bought cheap Canon 2000D kit and I am happy. WHat I found is best thing ever on digital cameras (compared to my ancient Nikon 3000 film camera) is auto ISO. I cannot emphasize how painfull is to have one film at say 200 ISO and you go out and day went to crap. It was basically game over. My system is now to set all other exposure parameters and let camera decide ISO up to 6400 so i can take photo and not miss it. Usualy I can edit most of minor details on PC later. RAW file format is gond sent thing lol.

All great tips. As for ISO and noise though, is it the devil that people purport it to be? I never shot film (maybe I should?) but I have a shelf full of books full of photos shot on film in a variety of lighting conditions. Some of my favorites are grainy (noisy) high ISO film shots of Times Square. Do I notice the grain, not before I admire the image?

@haonesor Жыл бұрын

I know this is way too late, but to anyone else seeing this: film grain is massively different from artificial digital grain. Film grain often adds character and actually looks nice to the eyes, whereas digital grain is almost always the opposite.

Well your wrong about the ISO... iso by itself does not add any noise to the photo, iso is only a "brightness booster" that only makes visible the noise that is already in the photo due to the lack of light... Thanks to these "advices", a lot of people keep the iso to a minimum, but it is not enough for them to get a good photo aperture or shutter speed and then they are surprised that they have poor quality photos

@TheJoeyacoustic Ай бұрын

I think if increasing iso increases visible noise, the explanation in the video is fine. Yes, people need to understand you still get amazing shots at higher iso though.
