POV London Street Photography with Nick Turpin 

Maybe consider showing a few of your "good" images at the end. It would be instructive to see how you cull through the various groups to come up with the best of the lot.

150 rolls of film later.. i may of gotten a good one.

Really nice video. It’s so good seeing your process and hearing your thoughts as you work.

A great video Nick! and so informative! excellent!

Great work Nick, thanks so much and keep up the good work!

Thanks for this video, Nick. It's a really helpful to view your process.

That was a very interesting and inspiring video. I enjoyed the POV together with your thoughts while hunting. Thanks for sharing mate.

Absolutely amazing video thanks for making this

Thanks for this Nick. So good seeing what you’re seeing. Makes such a difference to the viewing experience. Looking forward to your other videos.

Extremely valuable stuff. Thanks for doing this, Nick!

Best street tutorial that I’ve seen on YT so far. Certainly identifies for me where I’m going wrong and how to fix it. Thanks! This has opened up a lot for me!

this is refreshing. enjoyed the sharing and commentary.

Nick this was so helpful. It really great to be able to tap into some of your tips and tricks.

Love this video. Your movie "In-Site" totally changed my photography. So happy you have a channel now.

Nice tutorial - great use of tech to show your process!

Fantastic video! It was so informative to see through your camera and hear you talking about what's going through your head.

Great video - It's really good to see how a street photographer works. I can see that I am not being patient enough and need to take more shots when I find a scene the works. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for posting!

Extremely useful video, and beautiful work. Many thanks. Discovering your Night Bus series a couple of years ago nearly convinced me to stop shooting; there didn't seem to be any point since you'd accomplished perfection, but this makes me want to keep going.

Oh wow, this is going to be a great channel! It's only just begun and it already is 😁 Thanks Nick

This is great. The best video about street photography on youtube. Thank you so much.

Nice video sir! Samuel Lintaro brought me here. I'm also using x100f right now and i'm keen to know the secret on how you record through your viewfinder. Cheers!

Very useful. Many thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I really enjoyed the videos and content. They are clear and simple to understand. Also I hit the bell to not miss your post in the future ;) Happy shooting!

Such an awesome format! Seems to raw and personal. It’s like getting a look inside your brain as you’re out there shooting. Definitely useful for a beginner like myself. Cheers!

Amazing to hear you talking about what's going through your head as the scene unfolds in front of you. This was such an interesting watch!

Great work, Nick. Glad to see you sharing in this way

So cool! Thanks Nick!

I could watch this all day long. Thanks so much for making this.

I very much enjoyed watching this video - thanks for sharing Nick! Very impressed with the sound quality both voice and environmental; whatever setup you have, it works. Jean-Marc (Miami - 12/2018).

Hello Nick. 5 years ago I started in street photography. I can assure you that of the hundreds of videos that I have seen, this is the most pedagogical of all. Your decision not to use GoPro has been a success. I hope to continue enjoying in the future. Congratulations!

I really enjoyed this. "The street always delivers!"

Love that you shared the whole process. Very informative and insightful. I been thinking how to show more than just using a GoPro on top of my fuji. How did you manage to record the screen?

I loved this! So good. First of all, kudos to finding a new and fantastic way to actually show what you see (piping HDMI output to a recorder et cetera). If the video was only that, that would have been enough for me, but it is so much more. The pictures are great and it's incredible to see the actual process in action. Finding great backgrounds, good compositions, nice light and then having the patience to wait for a great picture to show up-well ... what can I say ... I really loved this. Thank you.

The palette truck followed by workman followed by businessman in front of the city between the lamps looked a keeper. 8:35 or later.

Nicely done, Nick 👌

Very inspiring and instructive. I have to work my patience, working the scene a little more. I tend to move a lot on the streets. The chasing of light was interesting too.

Great content! Thanks a lot for sharing..

Love your video! Such amazing composition, you have got a new subscriber! One question though, how do you record your fuji film like that?

Why have you stop taking pictures and making such amazing videos? No videos in last three years I'm missing all your point of view videos. Kindly start making it again and uploading it on RU-vid. Thank you!

Very informatie video. Thank you for sharing your process. The patience game is a real eyr opener. Hopefully you can also address the fear of street shooting. I saw you pull the camera down a few times when people were looking away.

Excellent video. It's so much better seeing things through the viewfinder to get the framing you're using. I was also a bit surprised at the number of shots you take, maybe I shouldn't hesitate so much.

Great video Nick📷

Love this as an idea and you executed it perfectly. New subscriber here :)

What a great video ! Learnt how a professional see and press shutter. only at middle of the video I sudden notice the ISO was set at 3200! at day light!. And with this high ISO, large DOV and high shutter speed can be set, which are important for street photograph. I own only the first generation X100 for 10 years, and time to upgrade it, Q2 or X100V...

I find street photography very challenging. This was really helpful in showing how to find a composition, a good moment, and how to do so without being conspicuous. Thanks!

I do like your in camera POV much better. However if I may make a suggestion. It would be very helpful if you explained why you focus on a certain spot and recompose from a technical perspective. For example you may focus on the building in the far back but your purpose was to recompose and shoot the people in front of your camera which therefore requires to have a certain amount of closed aperture to make sure that everything from the building to the people in front of you are in focus. My tendency is always to just focus on the people passing by which most of the time works out but not always. I think it would be beneficial to learn more about your approach because it seems that you mostly focus on something static even though you are wanting to capture people in movement. So for example you would focus on the wall but your purpose was to shoot the people walking in front of the wall which at f2 would be challenging but at F7 and up is not a problem. Other times I noticed that if the person you wanted to photograph was static then you would focus on that person directly. So as you make your POV videos, if you could explain your focus reasoning that would be super helpful. For example in the scene where the two dogs are kissing you initially focused on the person on the left who appears to be moving but then in subsequent shots you focused in the background even though you captured the people and dogs in front of that background. That background was fairly far which means you needed a certain amount of aperture and shutter speed. I think you were between f7 and f9. I think that if you add these explanations which you could do after the video not necessarily during, a bit of a commentary after the fact, I think that for beginners and intermediate people that would be most helpful. I think the number one challenge in street photography other than composition and storytelling is learning how to focus in the right areas with the right apertures to be able to capture the scene properly. Also I noticed that you used auto iso so talking about what settings you allow yourself as limits in your auto ISO profiles would also be helpful. Some shots I saw where at ISO 200 others at ISO 1600. Where do you draw the line to maintain a minimum shutter speed in your auto iso profiles? Thanks

Really good video, the first of its kind! (the first I am aware of anyway). It's extremely useful (I suppose, especially for a beginner like me), as reading stuff about street photography is good but watching you and understanding what you do with your camera and why is way better. I like the recap at the end, but I'd suggest showing some of the photos that you'd consider keepers from that session. You show a few during the video, it could be good even to just show those again at the end during the recap, just so we get a better idea what the final product looks like. Cheers and carry on!

Nice job. I will be following along. I believe you have alot to teach.

great way to show your street photography routine! i really liked your comments to the footage aswell. Lintaro brought me here, keep up the good work! I also posted some pics with the hashtag #streetphotoreview to instagram..

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a POV done through the viewfinder - brilliant! Look forward to seeing more.

Thank you so much .İ so hope again uplod New videos ❤️

This is going to be fun. Happy to be one of the early subscribers. What did you use to showcase the sensor?

13.53 yay!

Nice day out.

Hey Nick what day did you film this? I am convinced I was at the same spot on the same day with the same camera!

Nice video Nick. Very cool to see your process. I was curious if you keep all of those photos you were taking or cull it and delete the ones that don't meet the mark?

Hi Nick! Very nice video!! How have you managed to record what you see from the camera? I don't know how you to to make your video like you do (I knew the technic of a gopro, but not how to get a video of the real camera... How do you do? Thanks for your time! I love your channel and i wiss you my best!

Thanks

I always envisioned street photographers just shooting what they came across. I was surprised and inspired how you set up your shot, then waited for the right action to come into frame. Very cool. Thanks for making this. BTW I couldn't find what focal length you were using. Was it in the display info?

Excellent stuff. First I've seen this view. How many frames did you take that day.

Are you using shutter AF and half press all the time then recompose? It looks like you would really benefit from using back button focusing, did you try that?

SUBSCRIBED!

Hi, I notice you was shooting in martrix mode.. would you mind explaining why ? .. great channel by the way 😎👍

It’s interesting that for some street photographers people are a prop in the scene, and for some they are the subject. I like both, but I only feel an emotional connection with the latter.

What hood do you have? Im using a JJC one but cant get the hood on when a filter is on the adapter. I dont know if its the filter or the hood thats wrong

Cool video and cool jacket! Where did you buy it sir?

Liked it... a lot. Cheers//freddie

He takes so many shots. I usually take one maybe two. I wait for the perfect moment then take the shot. “The decisive moment” Not saying that wrong, just interesting. I suppose I’m wrong, but when I get the shot it feels good.

Thank you for video. You've helped my to realize the main reason why I've switch to shooting film: I don't enjoy this "machine gun" shooting style any more.

Subscribed🙏🏻Enjoy RU-vid!

Great Channel Nick , dont you move your AF point instead of focus recompose? x

fine video nick. glad i find it. one question: what are your main settings on fujix100f. cheers jan /@apixaday/

Anyone figure out how he's recording while shooting stills?

I’m Moroccan street photographer and I’m happy to be her. Thanks to @samuel

Can someone explain how he records it as a POV through his camera?

Who else here is sent by Samuel L. Streetlife?

I really enjoyed this video and others on your channel. Showing us the scene through your viewfinder was very informative. Can I ask you to comment on why you don't seem to move your point of focus around much? I'm always repositioning mine, but perhaps I don't need to if stopped down?

would be nice to see some output for inspiration.

I love the idea and the format, especially the fact that we can hear your thought processs, but it really makes no sense to me that you don’t show the final images. With that, this would have been a straight 10/10 video for me.

Thanks for the video Nick. You mention being disciplined with composition, but how about being disciplined with the amount of shots one takes? Like most photographers, we came from a film background where if you didn't have a lot of money you had to be selective with what you shot and how many photos you took because you couldn't afford the processing costs. I find that a lot of street photographers 'spay and pray' with their digitals with the hope that there must be at least one keeper.

Thank you..... Yes, finally ... this is what l am doing all the time to get my street moments. Explore, composition, light and wait for the moment. But sometimes, l preferred to capture impromptu moments which is hard to come by.
