Street photography in London with Leica Q2 part2 🇬🇧 

Are these my best street photographs so far ? What do you think ? Let me know below :)

Great. Your change of style really works. Waiting for the builder to come back for 'three heads' was inspired as was the 'stalking' of the smart old guy in the white jacket. Keep shooting!

And again, the short movie in the beginning, wonderful ! So many things happening when you're going out for photography :-)) No. 8, so funny :-)) Ha and yes, waiting for no. 11, great with three heads ! And lots of other great shots ! Oh, and I loooove the cat in the end :-))

Waouuuh for the photos Nr 11, and 27-28 ! Absolutely great ...

Only just found this video! Some great shots in this one (again) but no 11 is pure genius!

Very enjoyable video. Always fun to see someone walking the streets you photograph in. Great guest appearance from the cat at the end!

Photo SUPER, BRAVO!!!

I agree that the guy providing the 3rd head and the old gentleman in white were superb. Great video overall! And the cat is hilarious.

Hello Octavian! Many nice images in this video, agree London is a fantastic photography destination. My favorites are # 11, 12 and 28. Ciao!

Great photos. Number 11 was worth waiting for and you caught it well.📷👍🏼

5, 9, 11, 27, 28.....and many others. Bravo

Great !

Love 2 photos of the old man in suit so far ❤

number 15 - really good one :)

You’re welcome back to London anytime with shots like these! Great video, loved ‘stalking mode’ and the resulting image 👊🏻😂

Fascinating insight into how you take your photos

Another fantastic video, #11 is incredible🔥

Another vote for no. 11. Inspired!

Great shots Octavian 👍 and nice video as usual

Absolutely love 11 - well done for persevering with finding an angle and also handling the chat with the workman such that it didn't disturb the scene and you got the shot.

Great shots. Like the skip shot!

Great video, super candid shoots! 🔥🔥🔥 Happy to hear that you will explain more about why you choose to take those particular pictures.

Great as usually! All pic are good but in my eyes outstanding are 5 and 27.

Belle come sempre 👋👋

Picture 11 was worth the wait and really stood out for me. Great work all round 👍🏻

Really fab shots ❤️ The builder’s shot was def worth the wait. Great shots along Oxford St and Piccadilly… far braver than i could ever be. Next time try Tower Bridge to Westminster along the South Bank. Some great alleys/arches/passageways. Great eclectic mix of people too. Enjoy!

Amzing work nice video keep going

Awesome shots ❤

these photos are sick!

Nice relaxing video, and nice pictures. Loved the outro with the cat 😸. Foarte mișto Octavian :)

Great shots as usual particularly the gent in the white jacket and the silhouette of the cowboy hat man on the bridge. London is a wonderful place was there recently using my Q2 too. Thanks again.

Envy your patience and the waiting for the right shot - even the stalking 🤣 Good stuff 🤩📷👍

Thank you so much ♥️

11 the best

Great to see part2 Octavian. Some bangers in there, especially 11 and 39 (clever use of the musicians bag to carry on the ‘skyscrapers’). I like to mix it ip with layering like this and also the architecture captures. You should try Dublin sometime, it’s great for layering old and new ☘️👍

I can clearly see that above the talent, a lot of work and waiting is involved in these beautiful shots. Not to mention the stalking 😉. And speaking of stalking, my favorite shot is 27. After the beautiful intro, the outro with the cat was just perfect. Great job 👏👏👏

Superb work…especially considering it was the hottest day ever here in the UK! Funny you mentioning New York at the end…I was thinking during the video how you have a Joel Meyerowitz-like ability to capture the most bizarre random interactions on the street. Keep up the great work 😁

очень круто

Love it Octavian! Great shots and editing. I laughed with the stalking as I do the exact same thing when I see such a great subject lol This style works very well for you, I love the spontaneity of the compositions. Very similiar to the style of most of my street photography, so I may be biased, but I love it!

Toujours un plaisir. 4/5/11 et 28 🥰 Merci beaucoup 😊

Stalking in progress lol. Pic 28 paid off great shot.

Great one Octavian! You should really try shooting in Shoreditch if you want to do more layering, Camden Town also great for candid. Hakney Wick, Bethanel Green if you want something a bit more multicultural and gentrified... Those were the places that got me started in street photography while i was living in London a few years back. Oh, also Barbican Centre is like a breath of fresh air in the centre of London. Would really like to see your perspective regarding those places maybe in a next video. Te salut, tot respectul! ✌

WTx the guy (drinking from the white bottle and smashing that on the wall) just did!!!!!!!!!

Another great video Octavian. It is brave move on your part to change the style of your photos, rather than take the safe road of doing more of the same. Next time in London, consider trying the luxury streets like Jermyn St, Saville Row and Bond St. I think you will find some charismatic subjects in those locations. Keep up the great work. Your content is amazing.

Hi Octavian I’m pretty sure based on my modest experience that the best focal length for layering street pictures is 35mm. 28 is too wide, 50 too narrow. Enjoy and btw merry Christmas 🎄

Good shots and happy you want to improve and don't stick to one style of this genre. Glad you made it through the heat while I was struggling very hard with it on Tuesday and had to stay home. I had music problems. Sometimes the music came up sometimes not. Intention or mistake? Just wandering

Some really good image. Always inspiring to see your videos(now I need to go out and take some street pic). You should go to Malmö/Copenhagen to do a street video(I join you). @streetphotomoffe

You've made the most of your 2 days in my home country. There were many great shots in there. I'd like to ask a couple of questions. (1) as we can often see your camera, I notice the aperture changes during your shoot - how to you decide how to set this? And (2) your photos look as if you've boosted saturation and contrast in post. Can you give us some idea of what you do in processing?

Are you shooting the Q2 on single or continuous? And the focus setting: spot, center-weighted, field, multi-field? I can see from the GoPro your aperture averages around f10-11-12 . Thank you for all you do!

Great shots! Are those images SOOC or did you edit them?

awesome shots! What camera and lens are you using??

Solid post w/good mix of images, video effects (slow/fast) and the new “stalking meter”, Octavian. Attention-holding pacing and clean audio. You should have no problem exceeding your subscriber goal.👍 Commentary helpful but voice over not needed for every shot if that’s what you had in mind at the vid outro - POV tells the story and viewers should easily tell what shots you were preparing; that’s what makes your POVs special, IMO. Favs include proximity shot 5 (better than 4), 9 pants/legs, 14 red/black, 19 motion blur, 26 two of a kind, 28 and 38 layering. Suggestion: rather than show both of two images that are alike (e.g., 4 and 5 proximity), only show what you think is better photo. Cull the “almost”. Lucky find with the cat - kitty even cooperated with vocalization. Nice. Are you a “cat person” Octavian? Keep basic format, but don’t hesitate to improvise and mix things up. Let improvements evolve organically, if that makes sense. Cheers!

Like what you’re doing. I’m amused with your image at 3:57min into your video. It appears the young man is pulling the woman’s hair as he drinks a soda. Do you process and get your dramatic contrasts with Lightroom?

Ahaha un peu awkward avec le gars sur Le chantier mais ça valait la peine

Come back soon.

what the fark wrong with the guy who broke the glass on pavement ? cool photos though
