This is my second Street Photography Challenge: A night in Mexico City
I didn’t expect it street photography in low-light situation would be a difficult as it was.But I think everything becomes more difficult when taking pictures at night.Everything from editing, to exposure, dealing with the high ISO and nailing focus – everything gets more difficult at night, especially when it comes to street photography at night.I filmed this with a GoPro and the Fujifilm X-T3 with the 1.2 56mm lens, in the night, in Mexico City.

The low-light performance of the Fuji X-T3 is actually pretty good I think and with the 1.2 56mm Fujinon lens, it becomes a bit easier to keep the ISO at a decent level with doing night street photography.

    Dejlige billeder:) folk virker åbne og accepterende for at få deres billeder taget.

    Beautiful video, but I would love to have seen your photo settings. The only reason I found your channel was looking for night street shooting with X-T3 hoping to learn from you and by seeing what settings you used.

    Thanks.

    never thought 56 mm f1.2 would be this damn good. Did you have difficulty in focusing while using it?

  12. The One says

    The photo at 2:01 it’s amazing I can see it frame and hanging in my living room .. really enjoy your work .

  13. Jon Grall says

    Street photography at night is particularly difficult. I think it helps to accept that your photos are going to have deep shadows and some noise, and focus on finding good artificial light sources on the street to use to illuminate your subjects.

  14. Fixstern16 says

    nice shots, but why not using the xf35 f1.4 for the street? is the 56 better becaust the famouse bokeh?

  15. Enrick Neil REINOSO says

    Please share your Xt3 settings for this kind of night street photography. Better if its part of your video 🙂 keep it up

    Bro you’re amazing!! I’m a Sony shooter just starting out. Currently I have a Sony a6000 with the sigma 56mm 1.4. I’m into sports, action and a little street photography. I like the X-T3 particularly for sports and action but I’m seeing now that it’s really an all around camera and that 56mm 1.2 is incredible. I’m honestly thinking about making the switch to Fuji. You’re killing it out there keep doing what you’re doing ✊🏽

  17. Jin Quimpo says

  19. sander burtram says

    I very much enjoyed this video. I also have an x100F, and was contemplating picking up an X-T3. Please continue with the good work!

  20. Ricardo Guzman says

    Could you share your Night settings? please! looks great

  21. Stan Prendergast says

    well i was not so happy shooting the XT3 at night, and it was a lit city, with 50mm wr f2. I need to say this.. it was/is my first Fuji camera. I come from a Canon background. I used a EOS M5 w f1.8, its fast and must say a bit faster then the XT3.. specs can say what it wants but real world is real world. I would say M5 is more pin point sharp. I do understand that I may not be using the camera at 100%, it was my first week shooting. Now in day light!!! WOW great camera.. but so is the M5. So I could use some feedback.. I post on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/aps_c_user/?hl=en what ever help would be great. So when Shooting at night the photos look hazy.. I was shooting AP and f2. I am sure I must be doing something wrong.

    Excellent work once again my friend. I always enjoy your journeys.

  23. Ilkhom Pulatov says

    Really enjoyed! Thanks

    lets visit in my country Indonesia, there is much more a good shot for street photography 🙂

  26. Pep T says

    What max ISO were you using? I noticed a lot of camera shake in many shots, reason I say this is because I also struggle with that lens in low light street, focus is pretty average and anything below 1/160 and camera shake becomes a problem. It's the one big reason I am considering switching (back) to a system with IBIS.

  27. Axel Calvet says

    Great video. It's the first I see of you and there are already so many things that I found relevant or challenging. Challenging to me is to ask people if I can take their picture, and even someday to take picture of them in the street. In bars I may ask the bartenders for permission. But usually my rx-100 is so small that I can go stealth. Once again, great picture, great video and you give Mexico a nice PR job. What about security at night compare to other city ?

  28. josh nespodzany says

    Hey the next time you do a night streetphoto vlog could you layer the settings that were used e.g. 50mm f2, SS1600, ISO 1200. Thanks for sharing!

  29. RedWolf Photography says

    Great photos, Going to Mexico DF in January to do street photography for a couple weeks! cheers

  30. Jon Barbour says

    Great video. What settings did you use? I love nightstreet photography with my xt3. I have it paired up with 35mmf2, but was looking at 50mm f2 or 56mm f1. Was leaning towards f2 because of speed of focus, but how do you find the 56mm compares for night street?
