Hey guys, love your videos and watch them carefully – learning new things in each one of them. There was a great question in this video ( @ 15:20 ) about less noise using higher iso, but Chris Reddy said that it might be a difference between the amount of ambient light, basically "using high iso in low light vs high iso in high light". That absolutely sounds like a Tony test and I am just curious if it was ever tested – cause I can't seem to find a video like that on your channel – and anywhere on youtube for that matter. But honestly, even if there is a youtube video about that, I doubt anybody will be able to test and explain that as good as Tony.
…a great video with fantastic pics inside…congratulation !!! Greetings Carsten ( http://www.streetguy.de )
You don't always have to follow the rule of thirds? Anarchist! BTW – your mannequin, Mrs. Uhuelmehe, was no distraction, and I used that process last weekend for a portrait for a friend's book.
32:32 was the best shot of this show and it was completely ignored! Stellar composition and storytelling, clearly a lot of thought and skill put into it. Stathis Floros, if you're reading this, great job.
i am a beginner. i feel like both of u are the best one to help me buy my first dslr. m confused between canon 200d and nikon d5300. please help me out. i will be very much thankful to u. thanks…..
Great show, I love street photography mostly because I'm crap at it, so enjoy looking at everyone elses. Also, while you guys are talking about news the Live Chat was like the Manny Ortiz appreciation society 🙂
I had a cop tell me it was illegal to photo or video people who don't want to be photographed. Ever since I have been timid to do street photography.
Would love to see a woodland photography live show some day!! <3
General photographers like Tony and Chelsea should stay away from street photography. It's a completely different game. I've seen plenty of very skilled photographers try street photography and fail miserably. Street photography takes lots of practice to both learn and stay in shape and one cannot criticize street photography with a normal photographers eye.
you two should do a podcast about modern photography law in the US, and bring on a lawyer to confirm your findings!
awkward………
I really love the dynamic between you two!
21:46 I’m surprised that nobody said Annie Leibovitz
dear t&c and team, could you maybe include in your link list below the video the link to the time when you present and explain the next theme? greatly appreciated, thanks 🙂
Credit to the guy who took the City Hall picture at 37:27. I live here and I've only seen lighting like that a few times and a clear Market Street once, construction or not.
any plans of changing the stream from 5pm to 6/7pm so that does of us with 9 to 5's can participate?
Thanks for posting another great video.
Street photography is always a great subject. Just having the guts to ask people to take their picture for your own use can be difficult enough.
Oh no! Chelsea didn't get fired but the mannequin did.
I like what Chris said about noise. Heat causes noise, so a faster shutter could create less heat at higher ISO, in theory. High ISO doesn't create noise on it's own.
Chris is absolutely right (in my experience). In a well lit photo, higher ISO adds less noticeable noise than the same exact ISO when shooting a dark scene. "It's like a free ride, when you've already paid":) Use ISO 5000 to shoot your kid blowing out birthday candles and it's only good for the trash. Use ISO 5000 to shoot the action at a sunny little league game, and you're golden….go figure. We anxiously await Tony's analysis.
I liked the mannequin – she was so co-operative and knew how to stand still
Hey, I was the one who tried to "cheat", with the husky photo 😀
I had better shots, more on the subject, but that is a singing doggo!! I can't believe I didn't get a pick! :))))
Whoever is responsible for upgrading Chris' video and audio from a potato cam, thank you.
Can some one tell me how to tell a photo is a fake? Like some “sci” tool they mentioned in the video?
What is next weeks theme? When I can submit my image ? I am from New Delhi, India. So please tell me Indian time .
The one at 37:06 could be so much better with some editing, it is cool how the greens are the same and they are all under the pigeon's haze thing, a cool pigeon
The photo at 35:08 was weirdly good, bit out of focus though and they just scrolled past it. It just shows how different people's ideas of good o meh photos can be, coooool!
See you next week on Tony & Mannequin Live!
Maybe not the appropriate video to post this question, but had to ask. I’m looking to upgrade my standard lens. I’m currently shooting on Nikon D7100 with 18-200mm, Nikon 35mm f1.8, Tamron 60mm f2.0 macro and Tamron 70-200mm f2.8. I’m feeling quite limited by the 18-200 though, and since I’m going to Australia pretty soon I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade now. Would you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Just to pick up on your definition of street photography, which appeared not be thought out before the show and Justin used one resource to establish that it is to include people, while to a large extent people feature, they are not defining it. If you research wider and more specifically you will find that “Street photography is candid photography of life and human nature. People do not need to be present for an image to be considered a street photograph. Love the shows by the way, keep up the great content.
I am super struggling with naming my photos, most of them come out sounding lame. Any suggestions?
I get such a kick out you guys
I love the idea of the new prize but what about those of us that has a subscription to Lightroom/Photoshop already?
I believe what Chris was saying about the difference between low light and high iso and good light high iso. I have noticed the same thing, also another great wildlife photographer i follow has said always "ETTR" expose to the right of the histogram so i try and follow that rule.
When do you do the show again? I missed the live, I’d love for you guys to rate my pictures. Can I still submit the pics somewhere? I’m from Costa Rica
As a mere serf my presence here is irrelevant. However, (gasp!) I have an opinion about something and in fear and trepidation and with my balls in my hand, I am going to express it.
Dun. Dun. Dunnnn!
🙂
I cannot see how, especially in the UK, I can get into problems legally for taking pictures of people on the street where every five feet there is a surveillance camera, either official or private, doing the same thing to the same people. If it's good for the cops & shops it is good for me.
TIP for other serfs: NEVER be critical of anything these two do. They are absolutely certain everything they do is right which means YOU are automatically wrong and that means they will snigger at you with their friends behind your back because they are grown up and sophisticated enough to do that. Although to be fair to them, when someone calls YOUR wife the most sexy woman on the planet and THEN SAYS he wants her for a mother, perhaps Tony and Chelsea have a point and they ought to snigger. Who the hell WANTS to have sexy thoughts about his mother. Dude! Go see a doctor.
I had a great pic to submit this week but could not make the time. You should allow submissions for 12-24hrs before going live and I will filter them as they fit into the week's theme. That way you will have better photos to present on the show
16:42 I often notice the same phenomenon with Chris.
