I always look forward to your POV videos! There is something so calming and inspiring about them - they are both educational and demonstrate an excellent approach to street photography. Your videos always encourage me to pick up my camera and go out shooting, even when the weather is cold and rainy. Thank you, Tim, for consistently sharing such beautiful content!

That comment has absolutely made my day! Thank you for writing that. I love street photography and making youtube videos but both can be very difficult at times, so it’s comments like this that make me realise I need to keep going, so thank you. Have a great day! 🙏🏻

1:42 I love eye contact too. It really connects the viewers with our subjects!! That's why I like to interact with people on the street so they're relaxed enough for me to take photos. Nice I came across your video. Definitely a subscribe.

@timjamiesonphotos 7 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot! Yeah it can be nerve wracking but I think eye contact can be really strong in photos

Thank you for inspiring me. I like hearing your commentary whilst taking photos because it helps me understand your thought process and intentions. These insights are interesting and helpful. You got some good shots during your Amsterdam visit. Too bad there was so much rain. Kudos to you for still finding ways to get some good street photos under difficult lighting conditions. The ripped posters are cool.

I enjoyed watching your videos Tim I can see you capture 1 or two great street shoots. I suppose with street photography the light always changing and you can't always get that sweet spot when you are shooting on the streets. As I found out myself 👍

@daviddaw999 3 месяца назад

Hi Tim, I have just discovered your channel and am a new subscriber. I like the content and advice, but what really makes me want to watch your videos is the fact that you are so well-spoken. There are so many youtubers with good content, but I find it unbearable to listen to their dreadful diction. I have no issue with accents: in fact I like many of them. Your speech is an absolute pleasure to listen to - thanks.

@TDtog2112 7 месяцев назад

Another great video full of really good images. I have been inspired by your ripped torn poster abstracts and often find myself seeking them out so as you say it is good to be inspired by others. It was just as well you took the time to shoot the wall you found when you did rather than leave it till the next day!!! My favourite images are 2:55, 5:01, 9:53, 11:40 15:02 and 17:50. Looking forward to your next adventure 😀

Thank you for sharing this interesting video, great ideas to take inspiration from. On that note I agree there is nothing wrong with taking inspiration and being influenced by other photographers work, I think this is what helps you learn and develop your own styles of composition. Everyone likes different things so anything that inspires experimentation and creativity is great.

Enjoyable post w/cogent commentary, tips and photo gems, Tim. Favs include mom w/kid on back where kid is watching phone (relatable all over); pigeon feeder in red jacket, and second clock in station. Small ironic item only photographers would likely pick up - “IBIS Hotel”😊. Do they permit photos in the Madame Tussaud museum? If so, might make for unique interaction pics. BTW audio level just right. Cheers!

@ofitography 7 месяцев назад

Thanks again for another great video, which particularly reflects the same fun I feel when being out and about in the streets taking photos. Concerning colours: If photographing with a documentary purpose, like you mentioned in the intro, why then not omitting the colours all together and going B/W, or am I just kind of over-influenced by a book with the pictures by Vivian Maier I've got two days ago? Fun fact: About 3 weeks ago I had bought the same lens for about the same purposes like you did. 🙂

@timjamiesonphotos 7 месяцев назад

Thank you mate! These days I pretty much photograph exclusively in colour - it’s just how I see the world and how I want to capture it. Perhaps I’ll experiment with B&w again in the future though! Glad to see you’ve had the same thought, I hope it’s going well for you so far! ✌🏻

@ofitography 7 месяцев назад

Before buying it, I had tested the F1.4 variant for a long walk and almost suddenly fell in love with the focal length but struggled with the focus ring, accidentally defocusing some exposures, because I had the AF setup to Af+MF and lacking a tactile barrier (or being somewhat clumsy) I unconsciously moved the ring with my index finger under the lens. Next day when I returned it, I have bought the F2.0 which "glued" into my left hand like my long time "nifty fifty" 35mm F2.0, but with half the light in open focus, little more than half the weight of the F1.4, and about half the price. In some situations with a subject considerably nearer to the camera than to the first parts of the background the pictures from the F2.0 lack some of the "plasticity" the F1.4 transports, but this might be my own personal perception anyway, and I can easily live without it. So, bottom line: Confidentially well. 😁

@scotskinner4350 7 месяцев назад

I checked a book of Ernst Haas' out of the library this fall, "Color Photography". It included a few images of ripped up posters. I look for posters to photograph, I haven't found any yet.

@timjamiesonphotos 7 месяцев назад

Yeah he was certainly known for making a lot of abstract work including ripped posters. I fear those kind of scenes are becoming less and less these days in favour of digital ads over print. Big cities are the place to be to find those kind of ripped poster shots for sure

@brapperdan 6 месяцев назад

You said street photography is 99% failure. I found when I switched to film that changed for me because I was no longer just shooting what was in front of me. I will put my camera to my eye and think nah not good enough. Being much more selective and contemplating if this shot is worth it really made me end up with better photos. It does take longer though because sometimes you only take a couple shots a day but they are the best ones of the day cuz you waited for the right moment.

Almost all the stills in this video look overexposed! Why?

@timjamiesonphotos 6 месяцев назад

All the photos in this video are technically perfectly exposed. I think you may be used to looking at high contrast images that have been edited to look that way, or perhaps you’re not a fan of the film aesthetic which typically captures high dynamic range photos which is the aesthetic I like :) - but to say they are overexposed is wrong 😊

@bosiefoobar 7 месяцев назад

How do you get triggered to recognise a ppl scene compared to an aesthetic one? Are you creeping y strolling throgub tiny Amsterdam streets staring at ppl? :)

@timjamiesonphotos 7 месяцев назад

I just observe people and then photograph a moment when I’m in the right place and it’s interesting to me. With photos more focusing on aesthetics I find a scene and wait for someone to walk through - I find that approach a bit boring these days :)
