DUDE. The text commentary on what/why you are doing something is EXCELLENT. Knowing when, how, and why is the part of these photo walk vlogs that is always missing from vids, Like obviously the photographer “likes” something, but WHY?? And this video actually tells you!!! I hope all your vids got the text comments from now on. I learned more in this one vid than all photo walk vids I’ve seen combined😂😂😂

Ironic isn't it? Up until Leica introduced a super expensive point and shoot camera with a fixed 28mm lens, a superb example of the genre one has to admit, everyone was walking around with 35mm lenses or their equivalent in APSC or MFT formats, and claiming that the 35mm was the perfect ' candid photography ' lens, Yes Ricoh had some sort of fixed lens 28mm equivalent too.. Now ofcourse, people who have bought these expensive cameras have been forced to see through the 28mm lens and find compositions. You see, it is not the focal length that is the factor here, but having only one lens and learning to see photographs through that fixed lens. Decades ago, we bought our cameras with either a 45mm or 50 mm lens, even Leicas were mostly equipped with only a 35mm lens. The arrival of decent quality zooms changed all that. I think these fixed lens cameras are a very welcome development. Enjoy your time with the Q.

Best one is the one with the horse silhouette. But mostly boring photos. Boring photography.

Absolutely 100% converted to 28mm. Love it 😍

he is a watch maker or repairer.

Yes queen 😂 I just got a 28mm after 10-15yrs as 35 fov. I realised most of my favourite photographers best images were mostly on 28.

I like the shot with the Shadow of the Horse, great spot 👌🏻

Love the small text annotations describing what you were particularly looking at or noticing while taking the photographs.

I'm a relatively new photographer and started out with a GRIII and a Minolta film camera with a 28mm lens. I thought I liked the focal length but have since realized that >40mm suits me more. I still use a 28mm for certain situations (crowded areas, events, etc.) but have switched largely to micro four thirds and a 35 or 40mm equivalent for the extra depth of field and separation from the subject. Even 35mm is feeling too wide, lately. I was tired of throw away photos resulting from too much distance from the subject or distracting elements in the frame and don't necessarily want to get any closer.

After 30 years photographing. For general everyday shooting, I've concluded, the perfect focal length if you only have one lens, is between 27mm-30mm

Nice lighthearted street photography video! Would love to see more of this type of POV video.

What a perfectly entertaining and fun video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

Great video with a lot of interesting ideas and a very good sense of humor too!

Nice, the text really is a great addition to this video. Another take away from this video besides using the wider focal length is one many have talked about over and over, but I don't think it can be mentioned enough. Stop down and bring the context of the environment in. That also makes zone focusing so much easier. Really great video Mike! Have a great week.

i love 28, it captures the subject with atmosphere (especially in narrow street).

I really love this kind of video. It's much more interesting than the 85mm guys spamming burst mode.

Ooo this is an elevated POV approach man, only seen the first minute but gonna come back tomorrow morning to watch every shot! Looks ace 🙏
