This is sound advice, and represents a good foundation; however, these rules are not hard and fast, they can intentionally be broken sometimes. The skill is to know where and when, and not to overdo it. The rules may be broken to provide some particular emphasis to a subject, or to show their connection, or disconnection with the environment, for example. Nevertheless, in most circumstances, these rules do indeed work well.
This was a really nice video! do you have more video on just shooting film and how to print?
beautiful, m8, super helpful. thanks a lot, subbed
Had to stop watching cuz of the golden state jacket 😂😂 just playing, good job bro
Good stuff and entertaining and interesting and informative to watch and appreciate.
Good for you ! here in my country if i point my camera in streets, people will probably arguing me !!
good job. the example beginning at aprox. minute 12 was going to be a recommendation for this tutorial. This drives the point home.
With digital cameras, if someone were to protest being photographed, we can always offer to delete. With film not so much. Have you ever had anyone ask that you 'delete' a photo? If so, with film camera how did you deal with it?
An OM-2! My first love back in the early 80s!
these are NOT candid shots 😂🤣 what a Toy
super cool vid and love that daniel ceasar song that was playing in the car haha
Now i wonder if anyone’s taken a picture of me without me knowing
What software do you use to edit your shots Sir?
THAT ADVICE IS PERFECT about photographing people in one of those focal points – I've never heard that before. Very practical! I've also heard that you can keep your camera up (don't look away) after taking the pic so the person doesn't suspect you've taken one of them, but of something past them.
Much better advice than I've heard from others, which is often along the lines of – photograph more, or "don't worry it'll be fine".
Forgive me if I missed it, but this looks like Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego… am I correct?
Rule of thirds for street photography brilliant advice, thanks.
Try and put the plug at the end of the video. Just get to the juice of the video, let us enjoy the content then plug the merch. Better visual flow, chief.
My advice. If you're not prepared to get closer, then that resonates and immediately makes people suspicious of what you're doing.
Dress casual tidy. Be mindful of your mouth. The eyes are the window to the soul, but your mouth speaks about whether you're approachable.
Don't be sneaky. When you are, you put a certain preconceived notion of the subject. You have no choice but to. You know nothing about them.
Engage the subject with a single cue and a smile. Most people will actually respond to that cue. In that second, you now capture that subject in context. They are engaged in the photo, even if they only get a second to respond.
Avoid fishing..pointing a lense and waiting for someone to walk through has no intention.
Be prepared to let them see the photo. Be ok with deleting it if you agitate them. It is only a single frame out of the tens of thousands you're going to take over a life time.
"There is no such thing as a bad photo..only photo's where you didn't get close enough."
"There is no worse subject, than one that is not engaged."
I can do same with my smarphone or 10$ canon g5 ))
Asian Tupac ?!
great photos and a great tip! Didn't know about it until now. I guess there will come a time when i really need that.
Please cut away from yourself lol
Shops on Don Mills?!
@6:51 Cutting to the chase.
I hope you're getting a check for wearing that hat.
There’s a lot of hate in the comments, talking about your shots, comparing your shots to other street photographers and whatever. Glad you’re ignoring them man. Your work can’t please everybody. Anyways, good video, good advice, and your prints are dope. Keep it up.
This doesn't really explain how. The rule of thirds is not a technique for taking candids of people, it may help if you have a wide angle lens but it's more for composition which was severely lacking in your shots. There really was no intention or purpose of your shots . Just seemed like random snaps just for the sake of the video
Much love brother thanks for the gracious wisdom as always. We're all growin together 🙂
It helps to be able to understand the relationship between aperture and DoF, and what it means for the scene you are trying to capture. If you use a wide angle lens e.g. 28mm set on f16 pretty much everything will be in focus from a few meters in front up to infinity. So this means you can shoot proper candid shots without even lifting the camera to your eye to focus. You will need a fast film though to be able to use a reasonably fast shutter speed to avoid camera shake. Some shots will be junk others will be gems. You can recompose the image in the dark room on your enlarger or in Lightroom.
Rule of 1/3s is purely aesthetic. Pictures which don't comply with rule of thirds look odd or wrong, but can still work, sometimes.
If you take pictures of people in public where the focus is clearly them do you then approach them and offer them a print? I used to. People are so chuffed when they realise you are a proper photographer and not a stalker or weirdo. I found it so rewarding. Some shots have brought me more paid work, some have given me great friends. Many I did for free. It was very rewarding and feeling of giving something back. A good print is something that will last for a very long time and looked back on in decades to come of a time that was and what a time it was. Personal and social history.
practice and study if you want to great , a lot of these youtubers know nothing about what it means shoot .
bad video
You should also learn the rule of not cutting peoples feet
I really enjoyed this, thanks. Subbed.
My Dad had a Minolta XG7 that he used to shoot everything I can remember. Found it the other day in the shed. Light leeks and a jammed rewind leaver – totally KO'd. Hes got a digital camera now. Been watching your vids for a while and was seduced by the X700, so I found the body online and gave it the lens from the dead XG7. Room for one more in your gang? Particularly enjoyed this vid 😉
do you always shoot 50?
I am interested in knowing the web of purchase and the photo holders
you canadian homie?
shooting from the hip is also another way to go, i use it a bunch for up close shots of passer bye. takes experience though
The rule of thirds has nothing to do with wanting to shoot candids without being noticed, It's a guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. … The horizon sits at the horizontal line dividing the lower third of the photo from the upper two-thirds.
Yo I work at that mall you were taking pictures at lol
The part that I feel sad about this post is that really do think you are good. Pity! Learn to deal with you ego first, follow a few really good photographers for awhile. Then your photography may improve. What I said was not intended to be mean or nasty, I am trying to be helpful. When I started taking photos in the 1950s there was not much composition, so you did not have to be so good. These days the composition is fierce.
Dude, this is soooo lame, like 4 real there´s not even 1 good pic in all this video. You should start studying all the great street photographers in the history, Cartier Bresson should be your new inspiration.
Love this video , the rule of thirds rule is a good ideas I will defo use what when I'm on shoots
When you started talking i thought you were gonna rap for a reason ><
Great tip
Bro, where did you get that wooden shutter button and how can I get one for my minolta SRT 101 ?
Which do you prefer, digital or film?
