    Ive had your post stacked up for three weeks! and this cold Saturday night was the night. today on a raw, huge wild beach I saw a gorgeous young family of four struggling to take selfies in parkas and wind, so I raced over to them , using his phone, I caught the incredible soft sundown around them, on a log, no-one for miles,( until walkers come around the huge rock in the shot) and they glowed like a holy family, they were thrilled. sometimes it's enough... I don't need the pic. Your tips are So good, thankyou!

    2:17 great shot. Thank you for your video Tim. i would like to mention that learning how to print could help you grow. and still not sure which fuji to get. wait for the E5 or X100VI or maybe get a second hand leica. size is a thing and the higher megapixel race is holding me back, different look and higher noise in higher megapixels'. what are your thoughts?

    • @timjamiesonphotos

    Thanks for this video, I feel the same about my "approach" to photography...my question is: How do you get closer to people with a camera??? In my experience - in this day and age - taking a photo of people comes with suspicion and occasionally confrontation. I never even bother raising my camera if anyone under 18 is nearby, let alone kids. How do you take photos without - for lack of better word, "suspicion"??

    While I wholeheartedly agree that even small(er) towns will have strange moments, I sort of disagree with the idea of hiding behind a camera when such moments occur, rather than involving yourself. Become the interesting thing you wish to find.

    • @timjamiesonphotos
      @timjamiesonphotos Před 5 dny

  • @popularzero
    @popularzero Před 5 dny

    I've been shooting 35mm and 40mm for the most part. I prefer 35mm the 23mm F/2 Fujicron is what I usually default to on my cameras, but I recently got a TT Artisans 27mm f/2.8 as a gift, and have been experimenting with it. It is definitely a little tighter, and it works well around my home town which is a bit more suburban than in the cities I take my street photography trips to. I have had luck with even wider lenses for night shooting in very crowded cities like Tokyo. I've used a 20mm equivalent (13mm Viltrox f/1.4) in some of the smaller side streets like Omoide Yokocho and gotten quite good results.

    Can't really say anything about the ratings - thats fully up to taste if you ask me. What i like about this video is you being very honest and showing how it really is. Finding a good scene - missing the perfect moment/look/composition and then moving on to the next opportunity until, once every few weeks or even months, we get a really great one. Doing street photography is not for the impatient.

    • @strwtchr
      @strwtchr Před 8 dny

      @@timjamiesonphotos Sure, however - we are evolutionarily programmed for "more." A free second sauce for a hotdog? Sure' I'll take it. Two lenses instead of one? Perfect, that's for me. More possibilities? Yes! And it's just too easy to drown in options. That's why limiting the options is crucial. And only expand these once one knows what they need, because then it's intentional, directional, not just: having dozens of tools for any task without actually mastering any of these. All of the limitations I set are all about harnessing this urge for more. I spend zero time working with raws, and I don't feel the burden of having thousands of photos to develop from these photo walks I made within the last 5 years. I don't have to decide whether to zoom in or out, I take one picture instead of 10 in a series, I have to spend time focusing, so I have to embrace both the eye contact, and the disappearing moment. I often end up with just one or two photos. Maybe there is someone else struggling with the problem of too many options, for me this is a true relief. It truly feels like freedom.

    • @strwtchr
      @strwtchr Před 8 dny

      By the way, it's a really great video. It's somehow more convincing than many similar ones because it centers on the intent, the conscious approach, rather than the tools themselves. Haven't said that in the original comment.
