This has been so informative, true to art and comprehensive guide ♥️

I get the comments regarding manual, my preference as well but when starting out photography is a mix of art and technology. You don’t have to master the technology to work on the art. I sometimes set my aperture and SS, leave the camera to work out the ISO, or set just aperture or just SS, the more time I have the more manual I go. Therefore I think the advice on using auto is inclusive for those of us still grappling with the tech.

Fantastic tips! I agree on all of them. I use to shoot all in manual for so many year and missed shots due to slow pace for busy streets, but few years ago I start shooting in aperture priority and it changed my flow in a better way. And as far as gear goes I find the best way to choose the camera and lens is the due to inspiration, something that inspires you the most to picked up is the best personal choice…even if its not logical sometimes 😁

100% on the gear front, use whatever makes you wanna shoot. Thank you bro 🙏🏼

The classic Fuji 35mm f1.4. I must of bought and sold then bought again this lens, before I sold my Fuji gear. I loved it.

Thanks for this Eren. Have you seen the documentary’Tish’ on BBC4. It’s about photographer Tish Murtha. Really recommend it. Your video has made me want to get out more to shoot.

Thank you so much for this video! Really appreciate your motivation...

This the only video i have watched that has actual tips, most videos are technical info about things we all already know from watching other videos

Yo, Tips are amazing. Definitely have me some confidence

One of the best videos on the topic. Concise and with substance. Thank you.

You just answered my questions about street photography. Thanks a lot. Keep making these!

Tu as tellement raison 🙏🤗

I like messing around with different focal lengths, I've used a 16mm prime and a 55-200mm zoom and everything in between. Especially if I go to one place multiple times, I find it forces me to look with a different perspective, and I love the compression of a long lens. Cool video, man, keep up the good work.

just saw your videos, and I already learned a lot. Great channel ! I have a Nikon 28-300mm lens f3.5. When I go out and shoot, should I keep it to one focal length or should I change it according to the situation? Thanks for the tip, love the videos.

Just came across your channel this morning. Pleasant surprise. I’m new to FUJi so scouting thise channels Fuji centric. Eren you communicate so well the message you intend to relay. I also really enjoyed your Edinburgh video. I’m from Chicago and now living in Japan. Edinburgh has the grittiness of Chicago. Character! Thanks … you’re a great KZread Channel.

Great video, as someone very much still on my photography journey and still getting to grips with all the elements of exposure i often choose to shoot in one of the sei manual modes - as do fully experienced pro photographers - especially street photographers. I think street and travel photography the semi manual modes really come into their own especially in a fast paced environment, where you may loose the shot if you are hung up on getting everything set in manual. I shoot on canon so often use the FV mode - you can choose full manual control or full auto and anything in between and swiftly adjust each or one setting. A brilliant mode for street and travel/documentary styles as you don’t have to move to different modes, you essentially have all modes on one screen and setting.

Great tips!!!

Thank you ! What lens do you recommend for street photography with moving subjects? Currently working with a canon 18-55mm kit lens :)

Always keeping it real Eren, much appreciated! Excellent tips all around. I also love the open minded approach you have to the process, not taking a purist approach with settings and that. The last tip says it all, great way to wrap up such solid advice!

Another great video ! The ssue "sharpness " in your video reminded me that in one of Ara Guler's exhibition i was very surprised that some famous photos of him were not even sharp .But they impacted and still be remembered . So i myself trying not to be obsessed with sharpness but it is hard to change :-) As it loses concentration on the composition and demotivate .

Hi Eren! I like your mentality, the fact that your focus is on the process and the results and not on the gear! And we can see it if we take a look at any of your pictures. Easily you are one of the best street photographer I know.

Primes generally are sharper but it’ll be hard to tell, the zoom is fine

I start most the edits using my presets but I have a couple episodes on here where I go through how I edit

Aperture priority tends to choose low shutter speeds. Which is why I highly dislike it.I don’t trust it. Shutter speed is more important than aperture. I want sharp images, else why bother!

Typical, you go out to do your Vid, and you've got Roaming Roman video bombing.

Shooting in manual mode isn't a "thing" of street photography - it's a basics of photography! Pushing a shutter button without a clear understanding what is aperture, what is shutter speed and iso and how it impacts your photography is the worst way to practice any sort of photography.

@@Rumplestiltskin7 Great for you. I shoot manual on digital and film there is no difference for me if I shoot street photography, portraits in the studio environment or some public even/concert. I love manual focus on film camera lenses. Focus by wire is not the thing I like a lot on digital cameras, but if I can't get the focus on the subject than of course switch to manual AF and pinpoint the focus.

@@IvarsDayLab Cool, I'm relatively new to photography, and zone focusing has been a game changer for me. Before i was using AF-C at F.4 and it was a nightmare trying to focus😅. People often think manual is harder, but once you get the hang of it isn't

Without being rude to anyone, shooting in manual mode it's the only and best/ safe way to be 100% precise with your photography. And it's something that you must assume from the moment you buy a camera. You cannot have a drivers license but cannot assume the trafic. If shooting in auto, aperture priority or shutter priority is what keeps you in the game, then by all means do it, but let's stop pretending and acting like manual mode is not important. It is important, it's the whole point of having a camera and not using a point and shoot toy. Good light and all the best compositions to everyone!
