This was kind of interesting at the beginning because I realized I do the exact opposite: landscape and wider shots on my camera and details on my phone. I think I mentioned it before but I do need to get more in the habit of taking detail shots along with landscapes.
Seeing these videos inspired me enough to take the metro link to Union Station and shoot some DTLA street shots and videos like you! By the way, I think the video had some rendering issues, like when it gets greyed out at 4:41. Thank you again😁
As someone who's only been to LA once, i find it interesting that a lot of these streets and shops are pretty empty in a lot of these vids. I'm currently at a cafe in Brooklyn right now, where it's so crowded that if I broke out my little Ricoh and started snapping pics, I'd get a few dirty looks. I snap my pics anyway, but alas.
I know of the man you are referring to outside the jewelry store. Off 7th and Broadway I believe. I haven't seen him out for a while now. Hope you are able to meet him one day and get a photo of him. He always had an amazing look going.
Ever since I bought my X100V almost half a year ago, I've pretty much stopped taking photos with my iPhone. But before that, I guess I took more advantage of the iPhone's strength, which is its wide angle focal length. So, scenic, yes, that would describe it well. While with my main EDC, I shoot pretty much everything, from scenic to details.
Nice pictures but you’re right it takes social skills and courage to take more personable photos of people close up . Keep practicing that’s what I’m doing.
Great shots! I live in Arts District and I also make quick trips to Chinatown when I'm out of photos to edit. It's such an interesting photo spot since it can be so vibrant during festivals or night and so empty and liminal during the day.
Museums are some of my favorite places for shooting candids of folks as they take in the art. There's a much more relaxed and interesting vibe in a museum. As for where I go when it's really hot here (Buffalo, NY, which doesn't get anywhere near as hot as LA can), that's what the lakeshore is for. The winds coming off the lake are naturally cooler and it can be as much as seven or eight degrees cooler by the water than farther inland! (That same lake exacts a price from us for this cooling each winter, but so be it!) Great video as always! :)
Actually surprising using your iiix to shoot inside a coffee shop. In my head I would be like ah that’s too close for me. But man now I want a iiix as a companion. Love the photos. I am fellow griii owner myself. I LOVE IT
I have no idea how you and all those people were outside in the sun. I almost melted over the weekend. Oh and power went out during the night 😢 Also, I truly enjoy the explanations of your photos. If I just wanted to see pictures I would not come looking for them on a video platform.
I will never get tired of these videos. You truly have a creative eye, and find the beauty in the most simple scenes. You inspire me to take out my GR iiix more, and leave my A7CII + G Master lens at home (my back thanks you for that!). Plus this format is super relaxing and just easy to watch.
For the record, I enjoy the yapping. I'll watch a lot of photo videos that just don't really say anything about the photos themselves and it's nice to look at but you don't really gain anything either and then others are like "You are doing everything wrong, here is why!" So it's a nice break having a more introspective photo discussion.
Having hiked Griffith Park for 5 years twice a week there are so many things to photograph in the park . The Hollywood Sign on Mt Lee from the Griffith Observatory. The Wonder Tree The Hugh Hefner Overlook, The Greek Theater and Travel Town with the trains just to name a few
I’ve lived here all my life and I’m always looking forward to going to amazing cities around the world to take great photos. Your vídeo motivated me to walk around more with my camera around the city. I see you already did Two trips to Mexico City. Haven’t watched the other vídeo, but if you ever come back I can recommend other great and photogenic areas of the city.
the most hilarious and small world thing is that i know the guy at 2:38. can't believe i randomly came across your channel and watched several videos and came across this lol. love your content!
This was a great video. I’m also in LA, felt like I’d been putting myself in a creative 📦 by choosing ahead of time what I wanted to photograph in a specific location (like Little Tokyo), and I just know my insecurities as well as stubbornness may have made me blind to opportunities outside my “dark neon” plans. Also I love that awkward stare you mentioned; I got a few of those in Taiwan some years ago; uncomfortable in the moment, but later on they were some of my favorite captures. Anyway thanks for this video, I feel like I needed to see and hear a lot of this to get me back out there. Will be treating you to a ko-fi for sure, keep it up! ☕️ 📸
thank you so much for watching! yeah, i think it's important to let go of our own insecurities and even ego when it comes to street photography. we never know what we're going to get! and thank you for your support - it means the world to me! ♥️
Always a joy to hear your approaches to composition! Down to earth and practical, which is nice in world of "Rule of thirds" and other types of composition videos. Oh, and I will usually have water along with my main beverage, but I don't often have three beverages in progress at once! :)
thank you for watching and being open minded : ) yeah, technical videos and gear reviews are fun, but photography doesn't have to be so serious! talk about your flops, your wins, and share what you wanted and what actually happened. i think it's more fun that way
Really love the minimalistic beach shots. I'm curious are you actually taking all these photos just for yourself or are you working on some series, photo books, exhibitions or something?
