Wat mij vooral stoort aan Streetphotographers is het feit dat ze zomaar foto’s van mensen maken zonder hun expliciete toestemming te vragen en die foto’s nadien eveneens zonder toestemming te vragen openbaar teb maken op het internet of elders te publiceren. Overigens is dat in de meeste gevallen gewoon verboden. Toegegeven, soms zijn daar wel mooie beelden bij. Maar helaas gooien ze daarmee ook de privacy van deze mensen te grabbel. En ja, een kleurrijke figuur in de stad kan misschien wel eens een mooie foto opleveren. Maar als je dat dan moet gaan vragen of je die foto mag maken, en niet te vergeten of je ze ook mag openbaar maken, en die persoon weigert dan heb je natuurlijk pech. Maar zo gaat het nu eenmaal, het is de vrijheid van de fotograaf te vragen die foto te mogen maken, maar het is die persoon zijn vrijheid om dat te weigeren. EN DAAR MOET DE FOTOGRAAF RESPECT VOOR HEBBEN en de privacy van die persoon eerbiedigen, dus in dat geval zonder die foto te maken.
Hi Ervano ! Thranks for your comment. As you probably already know, Street Photography is about the candid approach of photography and also about respecting the people you photograph. The pictures I show here are not in any circumstances putting the people in a bad light, just simply capturing them on the streets in a candid way. But I would love to hear your thoughts about how street photography shoot be practiced :) Cheers !
You can get the Canon M6 for half the price, for the same resolution - I think the same sensor. And it has a dedicated hardware EV dial on the top - great for switching to flash mode.
Regards from Slovakia to Paris...I was there in 2002 last time with my Canon S30 compact camera...Paris is still ways in my heart. I posted short slideshow from this trip on RU-vid.
Hi Bela ! Actually yes :) trying to cut out a bit the fat :)) . But next video will feature a waffle or ice cream or a cinnamon bun :) Cheers ! thanks for watching this !
2:42 This is how a good photo walk can begin. Amazing photo! Certainly a great motivation for the rest of the day. By the way, always very well done atmospheric intros
Yes! Thank you! That is the supreme motivation for me :) starting the day with a good pictures makes it so much better. Thanks for watching the video Florian :)
Welcome back! So, I got to know what made you giggle after taking the shot of the squatting guy with the large hat? Your slo-mo stuff would make good content by themselves, but I like the way you bookend them at the beginning and end of the video. Good stuff!
Although we missed your videos with the excellent intros and the very well composed shots, a break is always a good idea to recover and be able to continue to grow and create at the highest level. Good to have you back and I can't wait to see what your next episodes will bring😉👏👏👏
Hi Octavian, i went to the 21 Jul feest as well. Took the gfx. Street is not my specialty; I'm a studio & portrait photographer. Nice shots; the day was missing some real sunlight and shadows.
What a comeback! You certainly have a knack for capturing these moments that many people won’t even take notice. Agree with the favorite shots, as well as self-critique. That’s not easy to do. And, yes, thank you for ditching the monochrome. You have such a strong sense of color, so why limit (i.e., handicap) yourself?
Hi Octavian! My favourites are the first one in the first position, obviously (what a way to start!), the 7 and 25. About this last one i like the gesture of the girl on the left
Welcome back Octavian. Sreetphotgraphy can really burn us out. Glad you have come back refreshed. Always a pleasure to watch your POV's. for me images 3 and 28 my favourites but i do appreciate the work and thought in all. Best wishes
Welcome back, Octavian. You haven’t lost your special touch. Vid opener sets the “hot” scene mood. Balloon guy chase is pure “Octavian”😊 - pic 3 w/colors of balloon and sign in background work well. Nice of you to help the guy who seemed to struggle moving his rickety cart on the cobblestone street. Was that your photo friend who lent a hand with the cart? (Name escapes me, - Tibo?.) 11, layers (two sitting down) works well and 7, proximity shot, is also one of your hallmark images. Was this the holiday when street bands/dancers wear bells and toss oranges to onlookers? Holiday events can have sensory overload challenges to pick out subjects, but you did well. No food in this one - ice cream would not have lasted very long.😊 Cheers!
The GFX100 and the GFX100ii deliver the best of the best image quality. I own both bodies and the images that come put of these camera’s are absolutely spectacular! I love the black and white images out of this camera! Please Fujifilm now work on better basic profiles it cost me about a month to search for the right profile to edit my interiorshoots. A good neutral basic profile is something that’s still missing!
Greetings from Brooklyn, NYC. Really enjoying your POV street photography videos, and love your photos - very inspiring. Thanks for sharing. I shoot with the GR3 and am considering the X100VI (if it becomes available again) because a) it has a viewfinder; and b) I think the 35mm equivalent field of view may suit me better than the Ricoh's 28mm equivalent lens. But I notice that for most of the photos you take with the X100VI you are NOT using the VF, but rather the back screen, a la the GR3. Why is that? Wondering what if you think of the X100VI viewfinder and whether you think it's suitable for your style of street photography? As you know, the GR3 is small, lightweight, discrete, and super-fast in use for "snap shooting". But I sometimes miss composing in the finder, as I did years ago w/ a Lecia MP. At any rate, curious to know your thoughts, but most of all, really grateful for you sharing your great photographic work.
I love everything about this lens... except the price. I know 65mm is a big difference between this and the 135L but the price? Can't beat the price these days. A good used 135L will cost you about $500 USD and this 200? Gotta say $3500 USD used probably to start.
I prefer to go with a small camera and 3 or 4 batteries than a camera with a battery 3 or 4 times larger, and therefore a larger camera body. Fantastic photos, by the way 👏👏
I think the image quality of Fuji XE4 would be better than M6II, maybe it is the quality of the lens But I must admit that the EF-M series has very nice design which let you travel light.
To me, it’s about the content of the images. I feel that street scenes and shots with a lot of context look better in colour. When the focus is on a specific subject or the subject is isolated it tends to look better in B&W.
