My usual night street photography settings: Shoot wide open (lowest f/stop number), I like to keep shutter speed no lower than 1/125 to freeze motion, then I keep ISO changeable depending on the light. (Video on night street photo tips coming soon!)

My pleasure! It’s not incredible but it still holds up, would definitely like to try a wider aperture lens on the Fuji at night in the future! Hopefully going to buy some vintage lenses and an adaptor soon :)

Daim, the night footage is so clean and good. Looking forward to that tips video. All my night footage from London i had to scrap. Geez... The shot of the Lady with the red lamp over her head threw the window, and that dude in suit watching his phone in the red lit hall are my favourites, haha. Another banger video!!

Congrats Tim 👏🏼! This is an awesome POV of London street photography at night and the images with the 50 mm lens are stunning. I did the same for a few years with the X-T3. Watch my London video with the Fuji X-T3 . Will do it again next year 👍🏼😎

Great image at 7:23. But I was hoping the subsequent pause was for steeling yourself for the shot of the woman in the window at 7:35. 🙂 Love the POV video you've made here.

Hey Tim, just stumbled across your videos last night, great stuff! It was refreshing to watch a POV where I actually liked the photos, not just Buses and Taxis with orange and teal presets thrown at them! 😂 Keep up the good work!

Great POV. I love it! Question: I have an X-S20, and as such no ISO control wheel. What to do easiest? Put on Auto ISO, or manually change and checking the lightmeter/histogram?

really nice images. thanks for the effort and the sharing. care to share some technical questions? single or continuous AF? single shot or burst? is 1/125th your go-to with the 50mm or generally your night street shutter speed? again, really wonderful pix. thumbs up.

Thank you! Single AF, single shot, I try to keep around 1/125 but have been experimenting with slower like 1/60 in very low light and that’s with all the f2 Fuji lenses I own - hope that helps!

@@timjamiesonphotos Thanks. It just seemed to me that leaving the ISO on Auto you could then focus completely on getting the shot rather than maybe missing it due to fiddling with the camera although it works well for you. Just my opinion obviously. Great vid again!!
Have you tried using flash during night photography and if so how did that affect your shots?
