Have you ever tried this?! Street photography with the Fujifilm X100V - My secret weapon! 

I love photographers interacting with each other and chatting, it's great to see.

#7 The bicycle shot with the guy in the middle of the bike looking through. That was a shot that you will never get again.

Those conditions in that location were epic. Love the long exposure bike images, great idea 👍 Happy New Year to you Gareth, appreciate your content over the years

Thank you.

Thank you Gareth. As inspiring as ever. Happy New year.

#7 is fantastic - a great example of a brilliant idea being kicked up an extra notch by a bit of lucky timing! Love it! 👏📸😃

For me the best thing about this video was the interaction with that Dave! I love these kinds of moments as they make your day better & it connects you with people! Great video & love the images made!

Top bloke : Talks sense : Very inspirational : Plus takes epic photos!!

Happy New Year and thank you for the great videos

Number 1 and 4 were my favourites, but it was a tough choice. Lots of good advice that got my creative juices flowing.

truly excellent

Another great vid, keep up the great work

#2 bike shot was my fave 😊

Thanks for taking us along. Really nice frames.

Love the bike shots Gareth. For me the second one works best because the bike is more defined. They may not be street photography but the shots of the London Eye are fantastic. Love the portrait shot where the wheel drifts in and out of the mist at the top and bottom of the frame 👍

Cheers Gareth, great video as always.. 5 and 7 are absolutely killer shots 👏👏👏

Great stuff again Gareth. This has always been my problem. Technically I really love the bike shots (I all too often get caught up in the technicalities - but it s all learning for sure) - the slow shutter, low angle, the waiting and everything it took to capture those wonderful images. But if I wanted to hang any on my wall it would be 1 for that raw old style and 9. Keep them coming and I hope you have something coming from your recent trip to Ireland.

For me number 7 . The guy looking into the camera through the bike makes it .

Something about the simplicity of that #9 shot that I just love. Great video!

Love the videos; great bike shot too. Cheers 👋

No 2 for me it’s amazing

The 7th one is my favourite one, pretty awesome.

Fantastic video again. Happy new year and all the best for 2023.

Outstanding!!!

Another great insight into street photography. My favourites are 5, 8 and 9. Thanks for sharing.

Just watched this video 7 months later, and loved your photos! My two favorites #5 and #9... extremely unique and distinct in that they aren't the 'usual or expected.' Cheers!

Those conditions 😮😮😮😍 Awesome video lad

3,4,5 & 9…all great!…❤

Thanks - I love the bike shots , I think the number four is my favourite with the separation between the handle bars and the lights

Happy new year Gareth , don't be so hard on yourself , best wishes, keep up the good work 🙏

Great video, I really liked listening to your thoughts on shooting! 7 and 9 were my favourites. In 9, the way the the structure just fades into the sky is fantastic. Amazing work!

Excellent!

Good one with fine shots. Bike No. 2 on the bridge my favourite. Also the wheel.

1 & 4 are 🔥

I really liked the first of your 3-bicycle images. It’s nice with the bicyclist surrounding the street lamp and the speed of the bicyclist leaves more to the imagination rather than “man on a speeding bike”: The stillness of the two people standing near the street lamp balances well with the cyclist and fog around Big Ben also balances well with the cyclist.

Love the channel Gareth. Keep up the brilliant work. HNY.

Hey Gareth, it was great to meet you at the photo walk after the Sean Tucker talk. This is a great video and the suggestions in the second half are brilliant. Slow shutter speeds and ICM are some things that I want to try more this year. For me shots 3. 8 and 9 really stand out.

You are a fantastic teacher! I love watching your videos. Thank you!

Great stuff Gareth, I really enjoyed watching you work a scene to get as much out of it as possible, that's a pretty good lesson for anyone.

Really educational and motivating. Just subscribed. Keep this coming.

Brilliant video as usual 👏 best shot it's between 7 and 9. Happy New Year.

Love the bikes shot, my favorite is 7.

Another great and natural (and helpful) video Gareth, thank you. You asked for a favourite image, and I'll have to say No. 9. Whilst I can see the artistry of the cyclist shots ( and the serendipity of the shot with the guy framed in the passing bike frame ) I like the simplicity and tones of the wheel almost magically emerging from the fog . Each to their own, but that's the one I would have been happiest with when I got home .

Thanks for the video. The number one and seven are my favourites

Excellent images Gareth. I especially like your use of black & white with the mist. I really like #9; but, #7 is fantastic. Happy New Year. 🎉

Excellent presentation- I wish I had seen it before 5 December when I was walking around the exact spot looking for "something different".

Cool video Gareth, I liked the first bike shot #1, some cracking images mate an inspiration as always, I made the opposite mistake in my video, I concentrated on ICM and missed a lot of opportunities., Thanks for sharing and a very Happy New Year.

Love the bike shots, 3 & 7 for me - think that distant couple and their closeness tells a little story of its own 😊

Superb video Gareth with some fab tips. I'm very lucky as I live only 45 minutes on the tube from the centre of London, so get up there quite often, but will certainly try some of your suggestions. 5, * & 9 for me. Cheers and Happy New Year.

3:10 its a nice shot! is like an old photograph mix with the future with those guys holding their phones. this is art man!

#7 is mega!!! The shot is still fantastic without the guy but he makes it so unique. Great ideas re having projects etc, I will def be looking to try more long exposure stuff and being more deliberate as opposed to just snapping away. Happy new year!

Another great video. I really appreciate your approach.

I loved shot number 4, with the guy appearing behind the blurry bike.

9,7,2 my top three in that order

4. & 7 if I had to choose. I think the rectangles in 3 are from a flashing bike light and it’s an interesting effect but it probably adds too much emphasis to the left hand side of the frame.

Thanks for the video. I always learn something from you. Shots #1 and #7 stand out for me and they seem like unrepeatable shots, or at least very difficult to repeat.

Bro…your channel is super underrated! Great shots ! Cheers from the US.

I was todays years old when I realized the x100v has a tilt out screen 🤦🏽‍♂️ great shots none the less

Let's put it this way. I'd have been happy to have taken any of them. Especially the GROUND shots 📷

Great video mate - interesting to see how you see the scene and also nice to get an insight into all the chats with passers-by - help reinforce the notion that it's ok to be out shooting and get involved in chats, engage with passers-by and other photographers etc

My favourite part of this video and it’s something I’d love to see a lot more of is the part around the London eye The reason why is because it wasn’t street or landscape Which is the norm But showed creativity and really showed your photographers eye I would say that sequence in the video was what I would call general photography ie not sticking to a genre I would absolutely love to see you out on a photo trip not sticking to street or landscape and just see what you can get out of the scene around you

3 with the flashing bike light 😊

This is an unusually good video, thank you. The work produced eg the bike scene is first class, but I really liked the way you talk through your thinking as you take the photos. (By the way, I don't think the music added to the photos benefits them and it is not necessary.) There were good suggestions afterwards as well which I can use. It's a bit early to say it is one of the best videos of the year (it is January 1st!), but it is well worth watching several times.

Hi Gareth...great video. I follow you and Sean Tucker from Spain. I started watching RU-vid videos on photography during the pandemic and grew addicted to it.. 😂😂😂, and it has the advantage of helping me improve my English. My favorite is #5 for the idea of a passing ciclist is dead clear, and I appreciate the gesture of the girl at the backgroung. And I love # 8 & 9 for the mist and edition. They're great. I spent a week in London last August with my son, and stayed in an apartment just 10 minutes away from Westminster Bridge, so I greatly enjoyed this video. I enjoyed an awful lot taking pics of the city

They are all fab. This has given me ideas to go Brisbane and shoot slow shutter speed around the Brisbane river. I like number 2 and number 9

You've got some amazing images on a day I would have given up on Gareth, just goes to show what opportunities I must miss, Rich

Hard to choose a favourite G! But I love image number 1!

Top tip, When in London St Thomas' Hospital opposite Westminster a M&S cafe on the ground floor. Happy days. Number two with the girls arms out wide.

I liked photo #3 the best. You could tell it was a bike passing you but it was a bit more abstract. I really appreciate the entertaining foggy walk around Big Ben! I miss London!

Top shot for me was the pods on the London Eye. Yeh good advice ill take from this is experiment with a fall back project, tinker with shutter speeds. 👍

number 9

SECOND SERIES MY FAVOURITE IS PICTURE NR. 9 ANOTHER GREAT SHOT !!

7 and 9. Happy New Year!

It was very difficult to pick just one, so I chose three: 3, 7 and 9 are pure bangers. Thanks for the video and the narration of your thought process 🤘

Yes, image stabilisation in the Mk 6 please, Fujifilm! Keep a good grip on that X100v; they’re highly sought after and hard to find… I was offer £911 for mine in a trade-in… decided to keep it (I had thought I’d buy the X-T5 but decided I don’t need it). I use the X100v & a GRIIIX for street photography, so you have me puzzled by the title, Ga. Happy new year to you… 🎉🎉🎉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wow This one Looks So Beautiful to understand fogy Morning notes 📝 prospective and My Favourite all 3 Images passing through bike 🚵‍♀️ 🚲 🚴‍♂️ 🚳 🖤🖤🖤

I like both bike shots but the second one is phenomenal . One thing does annoy me about the shots = its the bridge lamp cutting through the tower on H of P . Even though (I think) the H of P aren't your focal point and the bridge lamp is beautiful it still annoys me ! Many thanks for all your great tips at the end of the vid, I take a lot from them.

Photo 6. There's enough bike to be recognisable without taking your eye off the clock tower. Photo 1. Because I'm a bit obsessed about having images of people on their phones. In the not too distant future people will remark on how strange it was (like seeing photos of people smoking in bars and restaurants seems today). I actually don't like photo 7. I don't know where to look. My eyes are all over the place, trying to figure out what's going on, what it's a photo of. Some people may think this is a sign of a good image because of those same reasons (it's all subjective right?). Great channel btw Gareth. FYI. I have a £8 Silicon wrap (Ebay) on my Fuji X100V for exactly the same benefits you got from that L-bracket. I highly recommend them. It's grippy and protects against annoying scratches (that ultimately devalue the resale value). I found myself being a bit too "precious" about it before.

Liked both 7 and 9 so it’s a draw for me 50/50 Happy New Year 🥳

Love the nd idea. You might want to try popping a Manfrotto MP3 in your bag. Probably street photography heresy but put it on your camera and now everything is a tripod (bins, railings, floor etc)

Great leson.

This is a very good video. Consider adding a mini tripod to your kit. I always carry one with my X100V, along with a remote release.

#7 is my fave. Love it when passers by look at the camera being nosey. 😂😂😂

06:59 - Take a look at Manfrotto's "Large Pocket Tripod" for something like this. I love that little thing.

If I get one great shot I'm a happy bunny! I really enjoyed those shots of the eye.

Enjoyed that mate. Shot 5 is my favourite of that group. Shot 9 is lovely... David Pearce inspiration right there. We must get out and shoot soon... will be in touch

Just started to follow you, really interesting. Got very excited (sad bas***) about the London Eye images, so those plus shot 1 for me. Cheers, Nick

Hi Gareth, my top one is number "1" second is "4". I wisch you a Happy new Year and Healthy. Kindly regards, Andreas.

I liked the first one more than the others. Kinda looks like it was shot on film in the 50's.

I love 2-7th frame!! Can you share your B&W settings ?

I was in London a few months back, and I took a couple of photos from the "honey pot" location, they're neither here nor there to be honest, would fog have made for better photos, probably but who knows? But when you're there there's short a tunnel to your right that just goes under the bridge, and for me thats where the better photo opportunity is. There's more chance of people. Admittedly theres no parliament in the shot either but I think a better shot of that can be had from the other side of the road towards the wheel.

love this, what film simulation did you use? is it acros ?

These were incredible! I loved #7 but they were all amazing. I’m sorry if I missed it but what film simulation did you use for the b&w?

Got to be number 7

Amazing shots bud. What recipe were these taken with? Looking forward to a great year of shooting

Which hand grip plate are you using?

7 and 9 for me

#4 for shure

Ga, have you done a video on using the ND filter in the X100v? Maybe an idea for one… I think I used it one (accidentally switched it on when I had the camera for a short while) but never since… don’t know when to use it in all honesty.

Love the black and white styling. Was that a film sim in camera or editing after? I really liked image 5. Something about the people in the backgrounds positioning.
