Street photography in Brussels with the Leica Q2. The weather looked pretty bad and tried to photograph as much as I can in the metro/train stations but I didn't feel very inspired or comfortable. Things didn't go as planned but finally got some nice shots. Let me know what you think in the comments section, always appreciate your feedback thank you

Very nice. I am inspired by your technique. I love the underexposure, the conversion to B&W where appropriate and the vibrant colors. I really enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you. Salutari si mult succes !
Awesome, thank you! The metro station is great, easy to get some good shots there. Multumesc mult ! :)
I've been watching a ton of Leica Q2 videos lately. Just for fun, really.
This is the first one where I feel I'm looking at true street photography. It's bold. It's bright yet moody. Pushed where it should be, pulled back where it shouldn't. Original comps. Great technique, and using the right technique per shot. I swear I saw 30 other videos that are just talking about why Leica is great then showing photos that have zero soul. Just people on cell phones and shots of them that look like they're from a cell phone, you know?
After this, I finally get a sense for the Leica as a street tool and now finally can pursue picking one up. So thanks a bunch for that!
Hi mate ! thank you for the kind words. I have shots with people on the phone as well, it's hard to avoid these nowadays. Everybody is on their phone. Appreciate you watching the videos.
Замечательный поиск и находка сюжета, кадра! Bravo!👍

Insipiring. Thank you for sharing - love it

Thank you Jon ! :) Appreciate it.
Hello Octavian, encore de bien beaux clichés mais ce coup ci bravo pour tes intros filmées ( images et musiques) ... le gars qui fait de la musculation à l’air d’être en apesanteur !
Merci Edgard ! :) Oui c'est vrai qu'il fait ca avec une légèreté hors commun :). Merci encore pour avoir regardé :)
The orange lights in the station look like the bottom of the saturn v rocket that went to the moon
Hahah true :)
Terrific video, Octavian! Love the photos, and that music at the beginning us sublime!
Many thanks Daniel ! I am glad you liked it :)
Enjoyable, like always. Greetings from Portland, Oregon.
Thank you Daryl! Glad you liked it!
Mon commentaire va encore ressembler aux autres! Superbe 👍🏻
Un grand merci Julien ! :)
太棒了！！！
Thank you !
Ciao Octavian, complimenti per il video. Hai detto giustamente che fare street photography in quelle condizioni è un buon esercizio. E tu sei riuscito a fare foto veramente originali nonostante la scarsa disponibilità di soggetti da fotografare. Bravissimo! Mi piacciono tanto i bianconeri e trovo che sono fantastici i forti contrasti. Sei grande 👍
Grazie mille Corrado ! Glad you liked it :)
I actually really like the metro shots especially at the pannenhuis, the round forms, heavy moody contrast, and orange/red that bounce of it beautiful!!!!. Looking forward to the next vid.
Thanks a lot ! The station looks pretty great to be honest. Easy to get some good shots :)
Very nice- like always! Good to hear you more on this type videos!
Glad you enjoyed Lukasz ! Thanks a lot ! :)
Photos of the first part are really excellent !! good job Octavian ✌️😉 when you want for another session
Merci Christophe ! Yes! Avec plaisir :) Fais moi signe quand tu sors :)
Beautiful photography! Great video!
Thank you 😊
Ciao, Octavian! I really like your works, I always try to make them an inspiration for me
Ciao Alfonso ! Glad to hear that ! thank mate !
Like the intro a lot 👏 Metro Station shots also, even if You did felt the place.
Glad you liked it! It's not my favorite street photography style but the light was pretty good :)
Great intro and outtro.
Also i like to see your making of videos
Glad you like them! thanks a lot Thomas ! :)
good to see when you'r working out a scene.
Thank you Emanon ! :)
Toutes les images que tu montres sont exceptionnelles Octavian, quel talent bravo ! Mais comment étais-tu pour avoir cette netteté. J'imagine que tu est en focus manuel et utilise l'hyperfocale, mais même en luminosité faible tes images sont hyper nettes !
Hello Gaetan et un grand merci :) Je suis en auto focus :) pour l'ouverture ca depends de contexte en allant de f2 a f16 :) . Un grand merci !
Hello Octavian! Same here, not much like end of May weather but at least you can take shelter in the metro 😊
I liked all images, my favorite at 06:49 👍
Ciao
Mauro
Thank you Mauro for watching. Glad you like the picture :). Here is still raining, looks like it will rain all the month of May :)
Top Top !!! à refaire 😊
Recently subscribed & I’ve been absolutely enjoying your videos! Love the “vlog-style”. My fav photo gotta be the one on 4:54 !
Thanks for subbing mate ! Appreciate it and glad you like the content :)
Great shots! Although less minimalistic, the first music made me think of Wim Mertens - suitable for Belgium🤓
Thanks a lot ! And thank you for helping me discover Wim Mertens, never heard about of him till your comment. Appreciate it ! :) Made my day !
Thank you once again for the relaxing video and great shots.👌
And if you do’nt like the weather in Belgium, wait an hour or so... 😉
Grtz, Erwin.
Thank you for watching Erwin ! Yeah, weather is pretty crazy these days but I had enough rain in Belgium for my entire life :))
@@OctavianCarare one more week, they say...🤷🏻♂️🙏🏻
Even though you said you were less inspired in the Brussels metro, I still believe the pictures are great! Thank you, Bart
Glad to hear that Bart ! It's not my favorite street photography style but the station and the light were pretty great :)
9:39 love that one, great shot
Thanks from my friend Julian :)
Great shots! impressed... Curious to have a video of your post production to see how you change the photo out of the box.
Thanks! Will do soon ! you are not the first one asking but you will see it's pretty basic. Thanks for watching :)
Great work Octavian 👏 👍
Thank you Steve ! Appreciate it ! :)
Loved the intro!
Yay, thank you!
Hallo Octavian Like lady and dove 07:35, Underground !0:40, walking into light 12:00
Thanks a lot Claes ! :)
that shot at 6:50, god damn!
Thanks mate ! Appreciate it :)
The photos in the subway were very beautiful.
(If you write down their values, it will be more instructive under the photos)
Hi Joshgun and thank you ! :) Are you referring to the settings when you mean values ? Thanks !
Tremendous, Octavian. All wonderful images. I find 12:18 and 14:04 particularly compelling. I would appreciate your thoughts on color. Do you spend much time editing for color, or tend toward what is captured in-camera? Thanks as always!
Would love to know as well. Fantastic shots. One of my favourites from you. Keep it up!
Many thanks Kris ! I use some custom made (simple) Lightroom presets adn the rest is contrast, saturation, exposure. I shoot in RAW and edit my pictures in Lr., and I don't spend too much time :) I will uplaod soon a link with the presets if you use Lightroom. Thank you for watching.
@@OctavianCarare Thank you very much, Octavian 🙏
Dope photos! Did you take these jpgs or raw?
Thanks! Raw
Durable post, Octavian. Metro shot at about 12 min (guy in light) best for drama, IMO. Lesson for viewers is by example: rise above your comfort zone. Color in metro is striking - lots of photo opportunities when people wear similar colors. (Adding numbers to images would make it easier for viewers to comment.)
Hi Paul ! Thanks a lot :). Yeah I have to add numbers for the pictures. You are right :) Forgot to do it. Thanks for the feedback and for watching :)
Awesome shots! Do you shoot in single shot or continuous? You seem to get the perfect posture.
Thank you Clint ! I use single shot, yes. :)
@@OctavianCarare as I suspected you are the street ninja then. Wow
Love 4:20 & 4:30..😢.. not sure why I felt sad, I felt a sense of loneliness for those two.
Yeah, me too. Thank you for watching Arica !
Can u post the vid. in 4K? As a Leica Q2 user I’m painful to see the fantastic images in 1080p...
For the next videos I will try to upload in 4K :) Thanks for the feedback !
@@OctavianCarare Love it! Looking forward to see the next vid. in full glory.
Like👍🤝. Te salut
Multumesc Cristian !
I like your metro pictures. What is your “Film Style” setting? Is “Standard” or “Vivid”? How about “contrast” “sharpness” and “saturation” setting?
Hi there Tony ! I shoot in DNG mode, and afterwards apply my own presets and editing the contrast, saturation, exposure, shadows, black etc :)
@@OctavianCarare your preset is amazing, you are an artist!
Thank you, appreciate your kind words Tony!
Inca o mizerie a la Pap... si nu te mai plange atat de vreme ca numa soare ai avut :P
N-ai vazut ce thunderstrom era ? :P Jale fratica, dar mai incercam pana iese :))

Thank you 😊
Of course you started with a great intro. I could almost feel the rain. Well, it looks like the metros and metro stations have a lot of potential for photography. I really like those lines. It seems that the changing weather in Brussels is perfect for shots of water reflection. Maybe it's just me, but the music is so perfectly matching the images of the light circles on the ceiling. First meal at 14? Tough guy 😉 Very good episode. Don't quit the waffles 😄
Hi Alexandru ! Thanks again for watching :). yeah, I am doing some fasting, love it :). I need to stop with the waffles, too much sugar :). Glad you liked the shots. Hope you are ready for some Black and white shots :)
@@OctavianCarare of course. Can't wait
