POV Street Photography in Seoul🇰🇷 (Sony A7ii, Sigma 85mm F1.4 & Sigma 24-70mm F2.8)

Ойын-сауық

Join me while I head to the Seoul city wall or 서울 한양도성 in Korean (Pronounced "Seoul Hanyangdoseong") I'm running on no sleep in this video but it was totally worth it! Witnessing a great sunrise in another country is just something that is so amazing to me. It makes me appreciate my ability to travel around the world :) If you're ever in Seoul, I highly recommend going to the Seoul city wall! Beautiful piece of architecture and history of seoul, with amazing view points of the city.

    Hey Brother Amal, nice photos--many thanks for the stats next to the photos. ...thanks for taking us along to see the Wall. I'm strongly considering going to full frame from my Fuji and Sony Aps-c cameras. I want to learn & experience street photography. From my research, the A7II offers good value for its age & capability. My concern is missing shots trying to navigate the menu. For B&W, can I largely set it and forget it? Peace.

    Thank you so much! And I'm sure the A7ii has a similar system UI to older A6000 series cameras. So it should feel familiar. I'm also sure that there's a setting to change the Jpegs to black and white with the creative styles. Definitely rent an A7ii and give it a try first though!

So I'd recommend downloading Naver or Kakao maps to help get you around!

    The battery on the a7ii isn't the best but it's not bad. At least for photos. I've had multiple days where I used the camera all day on one battery. But on really heavy days I will need to use more then 1 battery. Then again I would guess the a7r2 will have worse battery life because its pushing more mp.

I haven't tested it, but I think it will save if I set it up and use it only when I need more than 40mp. What do you think? And I'm currently carrying 3 batteries, but I'm planning to buy 2 more. I'm very afraid of running out of batteries.
