    Thanks Wes, I think I'll be doing this a lot more in my street videos. Maybe the breakdown and behind the scene thoughts are more interesting for viewers that I realised.

    As a fellow photographer (who has just got his own Q2 less than a month ago), I feel genuinely shocked how the photographer 20 seconds into the video took such a close portrait of a random stranger on the street. One of the biggest challenges I have met was that I feel very uncomfortable and quite offensive to be so close to a stranger on the street taking photos of them without their consent... Seeing this is honestly feeling like reassurance that maybe my concerns are far from being necessary... Long ways to go to master the 28mm...

    0:19 I don’t find it respectful of the person in any way. I wouldn’t want to be photographed like that! If this is supposed to be your kind of street photography, then „no thanks!“

    I think that's a perfectly valid way to feel. This part of street photography is a very grey area imo, there's definitely ways to get close to people without coming across as creepy or invading their personal space, unfortunately some street shooters don't understand that and think they can just stick a camera into people's faces(not saying that's the case in this video). For me street photography is about documenting everyday life without artificially changing the scene with your presence

    Everyone has a different approach, this is what essentially enables people to get different photos. Every situation is unique, so there isn't a definitive guide on this but it all boils down to you as an individual and ultimately how much you want to get the shot. I know of many photographers who seriously push the boundaries. Whatever floats your boat haha.

    The IBIS is significant 40 mp is significant in being able to crop The auto focus is significantly improved for those that use tracking and eye auto focus The video features are a significant upgrade also Is it a MUST upgrade for those with the V.. nah you’ve been fine without then you should be ok still but it is a significantly better tool.

    Of course, it's your job to have an opinion on political matters you may agree with or not. After the American Supreme Court made their ruling on abortions and states rights to decide on the matter, I decided to photograph a protest on it. I didn't agree on anything from the pro abortion people, but I still did my best to take fair photos to reflect what they believed.

    @Mike Chudley it's your channel. Obviously, you can do as you please, but if you're going to cover political events in a video, it always seems disingenuous when street photographers act like they are above it all and don't share what they are feeling in the moment. It's photography covering politics after all. Still enjoyed it though.

    Very poor has to be said! Lack of originality trying to be inspired by masters of the past willl only get you in trouble if you do not put your own spin on things, and the camera is far better than you are! Stop being a photographer for everyone else and focus on yourself. This is the problem of new age ‘’Street photographers’’. Sorry Mike but you are good at editing (well same old hipster music)
