Thank you for posting this. It's very good. Showing images you take while walking is spontaneous and clearly demonstrates your intended purpose for this video: to use an old lens on a current digital camera. From the images, I'm pretty sure you used zone focusing, which does take some practice coming from autofocus/digital, but this method has been used as we see from the early street photographer masters.
Thanks! I honestly think the process of photographing streets hasn't changed so much in the last half-century or more 🙂 Btw I am about to release a new vintage lens street POV vid, this time with a 24 mm. So stay tuned if interested 📸
I enjoyed the POV stroll through the Munich streets with the background music. It makes me feel like I'm right there. The only negative component (intending contructive criticism) is the distraction of you stopping to shoot and show your pictures, which almost all lack a good subject, good composition, or anything interesting. What might be hurting your photography is your practice of viewing through the LCD with the camera held out far from your eyes. That makes it difficult to carefully frame an image and capture the right moment. Use your viewfinder instead, and I think your photos will get better.
I just looked at a few of your Instagram photos. Of the street photos I viewed, the good one has the caption: Not all people from Milan are abrupted people. I noticed better quality in your landscapes and portraits than in your street photos.
Man thank you so much for your suggestions and feedback 🙂! As a beginner photographer I really appreciate this piece of advice. I'm experimenting with different kinds of subjects and environments, and I hope to find my place soon
Can you photograph people in Germany???? I have been told by the police that it's against the law and they even took my camera away and deleted pictures that weren't even close to yours ( by that i mean i was further away from people)
I think that if you photograph people for "artistic purpose" and you do not use the images for commercial use you are OK. After all you are not hurting anybody in anyway. Think about it 🙂
Thank you! I bought a go Pro Hero 10 a few months before starting recording these POV street photography sessions, and I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Long-lasting battery charge, 5K video quality, and it is super easy to use 😎
I lived 11 years in Munich, a town (I would say that the same thing would apply to almost the entire Bavaria) of Nazis, haughty and arrogant people who pretend to be rich but, a part from a bunch of Daddy's boys, they are not! I'm glad to be back in my beautiful Lake Zurich (Switzerland), where people are really rich but they don't like to show it! off Salaries for a Software Architect like me are in Switzerland 10 times higher than in Munich (which is 'supposed' to have the 'highest' salaries within all Germany....in your dreams!.....) and as a hobbyist photographer I never shot any picture in Munich: I hated that place so much, but I lived there because I was fiancé with a Norwegian girl who was working in Munich. Now back in Switzerland my inspiration for photography has come back!
A city of Nazis? Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea how much your statement insults and defames us Germans? How can you generalize an entire federal state so much? I've lived in Bavaria all my life and would love to kick your ass for this comment!
I don't know what I think of your interpretation of "street photography". For my taste, you put your camera in people's faces too much. For me, street photography is unobtrusive and thus shows the authenticity of the impressions. There are also certain laws in Germany that regulate this. If you only use people as accessories, that's okay. But sometimes you photograph people full frame, which is not allowed. I know you're a foreigner and you probably don't care about the law here in Germany, but out of respect for a foreign country, you should reconsider the way you take photos. I'm sure you didn't ask any of the passers-by for permission.
thanks for sharing your opinion about this topic man. I understand and always try to shoot with respect and kindness. Yes, sometimes I've been a bit too close to people and never had a complaint from anyone. I am always open to deleting pictures if someone asks me 🙂
