@@3BMEP There are plenty of people who like photography and then there are some who truly love the craft and artistry of photography. Wish my Rollie TLR wedding photography father could have lived long enough to experience the digital photography age.

Hugh is an artist. He can paint with words and expression, and snap amazing images most of us would miss. Couple that with his enthusiastic style of instruction and we are all hooked.

One of my favorite photographers. A true artist not only in photography but the eloquence in his words.

B&H, you’ve hit a home run with this series. Keep up the good work

Fantastic video Hugh. I love the presentation. Understandable by new photographers and veterans alike. Great content-especially your explanation of camera settings and technique. Your photos are stunning. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

I'll do whatever it takes to one day have a personalized class with this genius. B&H hit a HomeRun with this MasterClass! Hugh is the best!

Thanks José! We think Hugh is pretty great, too.

Shooting during a light rain can yield fantastic results!!! These days in NYC it's more RUNNING down Mcdougal ST to avoid being the victim of unlawful activity.

What a wonderful series this is!

Hugh, you know how to rub it in, "up town, down town etc" in NY. lol - thank you for a great B & H Video - your the best

Great tips, love those black and white images

Most I’ve leaned in all the videos I’ve watched. Amazing!

This is an exceptional series and I’ve followed Hugh for years. Very good info and very reassuring to get out there and do the work/fun.

SUCH a good video. Hugh really is SO eloquent! 👌🏼

One of my favorite channels. This one is a gem.

What a treat that was. Well played everyone.

Sir, you are not only a teacher and a master but you are a poet!! Every time you create a new video it is poetry, full knowledge, and passion...it is a joy and a privilege to see it. Thanks, Hugh!!

Great video. Looking forward to more from Hugh.

Absolutely Fantastic !! Thank You !

What a great series!!! Thanks Hugh and B&H!!

I’m going to NYC in a week. Taking my new XH2S and Hugh talking about urban landscape photography is getting me more excited.

Awesome information Hugh! Thanks for sharing!

I remember the old saying back in the film days was “be there and shoot at F8”.

Morning Hugh, Being a photographer means you’re always learning… I’m not really an “urban” shooter but knowledge is transferrable to any genre. I’ve recently learned of a number of old motels here in Las Cruces (motel row). I’m going to have to find some time to practice some urban photography… One point you’d mentioned the relationship between dynamic range and iso, which I’d not realized although I’ve always tried to utilize the lowest iso… So many great pieces of advice it’s tough to absorb them all in one viewing, so I’ll save this episode to review again and I’m looking forward to more… Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great tutorial. Loved it!

As always Hugh love the video!

This was fabulous.!!!!

I am enjoying this series. Thank you Hugh!

Hugh Brownstone?! How did you pull that off? Most interesting and inspiring! TY BnH

So engaging, informative and entertaining as always, Hugh. Great to see you looking so well.

Superbe music matching your carefully chosen words presenting knowledge of art photography. Couldn't be better. Thanks, Hugh! I´m on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and I cannot reach you in situ on that challenge, although I will follow you on KZread. Maybe someday. Regards António

Hugh is great! I watch his channel all the time.

I have found everything you said to be what I’ve always done. My results continue to please me and keep me going. I can be in one place for hours and as the light changes so do my images and my impressions of the in-the-moment recording of history. I’ve shown people the same shot in both color and B&W and color draws their eye to a specific thing whereas B&W allows them to see the entire photo with no single distracting color (unless that is my purpose).

Excellent! Very informative and entertaining to watch. Affirming a lot of what I have already learned but nice to have things reinforced. I have a Sony a6100. One prime, the 35mm f/1.8 and kit lenses. Also an Olympus OMD E-10 Mark II with a 50mm f/2 macro prime that's outstanding, with kit lenses. Lately, I've been shooting with my vintage film SLRs, my Nikon F (with the Ftn photomic prism head) being my most cherished film SLR, and I love it all! I'll be loading Ilford HP5 Plus in my Canon FTb today. Thanks for another great video!

Great personality and great photographer no doubt..

This is so good

Thank you so much, Hugh! "Shoot with the edit in mind"...such pearls of wisdom!

Hugh, your instruction is exquisite!

Thanks for a great video. I have all the photographic equipment I need for urban landscapes. What I lack is the love and passion for the city of Chicago. My wife loves it. She is the only reason I tolerate it.

Beautiful skyline along Lakeshore Dr.! Near Northside is pretty cool to photograph. Old Town and New Town.

My last trip to the City last month, I decided to do a different type of street photography each day. Night/long exposure, intentional motion blur, black and white. Hugh is giving me more things to think about for my next trip. I've done some pano there from Governors Island recently, but need to get over to the Jersey side or Long Island City. Can't wait to see the street portraiture video next.

As a dedicated landscaper this is inspiring stuff, made me look at the city I live in with a bit more optimism as subject matter. I’ve always liked the delivery style - like an inspiring conversation in a classy cocktail lounge! Great stuff, keep it up, I’m off for a mojito 🥂

thank you Hugh! I had the privilege to shoot NY back in 2015 and it forever changed my opinion of NY. If time and funds permitted I would love to learn more from you. Appreciate this content Hugh. Cheers from Texas.

4:28 Thank you Hugh. Finally a professional photographer is emphasizing the importance of IBIS in photography. Almost every youtuber just tests the IBIS in video. I am getting a bit frustrated with that as lack of IBIS in video can be dealt with and even corrected a lot easier than for still.

I have watched many of your videos on photography ....BUT this is by far the best to date. Enjoyed ever minute of it. Keep it up ....more of the same if you please. Phil UK🦊📷

Thanks Hugh, I love all your videos. Is there a in person workshop you can suggest in the city? And is it safe to walk around with so much valuable gear?

"You have to shoot with the edit in mind." It took me years to get this and it was a game changer.

I thought, "Uh, not sure I'm interested in urban landscapes," but this was really interesting. The thought occurs: New York has massive art vibes that seep into a photographer's work. So many interesting folks have worked there - the documentary "Bill Cunningham's New York" for fashion, and a very likeable guy; and so many others.

As for gloves I've been using wool mittens designed so that the part that covers fingers flips up to that your fingers, including thumb, are bare. Then you can just flip "the lid" to recover your fingers. I got them at an REI. If real cold I've used thin liners under the mitten. Not a perfect solution but has worked better for me than anything else I've tried for cold weather photography. Thanks for the review. Looks like a really interesting camera.

Great Vid....where can you purchase the hand strap?

Another great video, Hugh. For a Fuji shooter, do you have any thoughts on the Viltrox 13 1.4 versus the Fuji 10-24 4.0 specifically for urban landscape in NYC. Reviews on the Viltrox seem to be very good (and it’s a prime), but wondering if having the wider FOV on the Fuji, particularly given the crop sensor, makes more sense. Price on the Viltrox is attractive, but I am questioning whether it will be wide enough.

Great to see you doing what you do best. I don't think I will forget the day we met in London. Have the very best of days.

Curious to know whether one would see a significant difference in image quality (resolution, details, sharpness, etc.) between a 51MP medium format sensor (Fuji) or a 47MP full frame sensor (Nikon Z7ii) when looking at the image on the web, where most images end up.

love this series Brilliant. Thank you Hugh Brownstone and B&H . I love photos oh NYC, but more than buildings is the underground Grand Central Station .

Get a somewhat lite pair of gloves and cut a slit with an exacto knife where the first bend is in the thumb and index finger on each hand. I did it with a mid-weight pair of gloves and it's been perfect. You can just slip your finger back in when done shooting.

Very calming and enjoyable episode with great shots and someone who knows how to hold a camera. Because let's be honest there are some kack-handed lumpkins out there. Thanks, Hugh.

Gloves. Orvis sell neoprene gloves which only cover 2/3 of the fingers. Warm and allow one to manipulate camera controls (or tie flies onto one's line).

Nice text and you have a great voice to listing to oh and B.T.W. Leica got my attention but for the moment still D800 with 20mm and 105mm F1.4 art lenses.have a nice Autumn and winter .

I must say, based on the audience you want to reach, a very good video. Understandable and not too deep. A few comments: I also go for ISO 100 as a default setup but what I miss in your video is the explanation of ISO in digital cameras. Whereas ISO in film is the rate of sensitivity of that film in digital cameras it is NOT the sensitivity of the sensor but applied gain ! Something that is added or altered, after the shot is taken. Based on that statement I had a good look at your (by the way beautiful pictures, hope you are going to address the editing in later videos) shots, with some shots you used a higher ISO then 100, where the shutter speed gave you enough leverage to step it down at least 2 stops towards that 100. (but you probably didn't shoot totally manual at that time so let's blame the camera ;-) The "rely on the eye" instead of metering was a good gesture, but I want to add to that (something I practise) is to have histogram in your EVF, that'll tell you everything in a split second. I know you for quite a while now and was very excited the way you would do this class kinda thing but I am not disappointed (from a learning perspective). Well done.

I like the camera you have, Canon R5

You sir are like a Bob Ross Fred Rodgers of photography 😊

Heard a while back that the difference between college and church is that college introduces new stuff and then leaves you on your own, while church tells you what you need to hear-over and over-so maybe you can get it right sometimes. This is church. ❤

I got the feeling from the closing that I missed a video, but can't find it. Was there a predecessor to this one?

Well Hugh I have now seen 4 of your vids in a row. I am about your age and done a lot of photography with the most surpreme cameras out there (Hasselblad, Linhof, Rollei....). And I used a light meter to get my work done. Only reason I am not shooting film now ist, that it is to expensive, you either do the develpment yourself or you depend on persons who are professional or not, The latter most likely to happen.. Doing good photography for me is a matter of intuition and skill and not about technical features available right now. I don''t take a good BW pic, because of an EV, but because I know my gear and have in mind, what the result will be in BW. or whatever plus but of course knowning th proper tools in post processing, which now and before it practcally comparable. The most signficant pictures in history have been shot using analog gear. The most important thing is photography is to get my mind set up. To forgat all the things that bother and distrake and concentrate on all that is around you. Go out and follow your mind(set). Let it flow naturally, come home and review the results. The multitude of modern gear does not make the right photos in the end. It may even distrake from what matters most. This all is your mindset, but as ever different things are different to different people..

All is good...but I was detracted by your watches on both hands. Just curious why need two watches? 😆Great video btw very informative.

@BandH

Жыл бұрын

“The two watches are gifts from two different people which accomplishes two different sets of objectives.” - from Hugh. Glad you liked the video!

An alternative to selecting between B&W or color. An alternative to shooting in color and r then desaturation. Shoot B&W jpeg and color raw. The benefit is you can use the EVF to see in B&W plus you have a color negative. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Too bad we couldn't stay away from the hardware but I enjoyed it, different!🍻

Availability of restrooms is key

Base ISO will cause major blurr in hand held street photography. You can't get around that point.

I’m from Canada and the best cold weather gloves are not camera gloves but the Outdoor Research “Exit Sensor Globes”. No need to even expose the tip of your finger in very cold weather.
