7:35 this guy who sells the watches is saying “wtf are you doing over there” to you. It was funny
LOL! Thanks for the translation :-)
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
Spyros Papaspyropoulos so then you should delete this picture he told you he refuse that you take the picture ???? Are you sick or you don’t understand that people have right ?
This was fantastic! All three of you are so good. Also it is really nice that you share the photographs from the shoot - it is fascinating to see how everyone approached the same subjects so differently. Please keep making these, it is as instructive as it is engaging. Cheers!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch Siddhartha! I am really happy you enjoyed the video and the photos. Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
Again, another inspiring and hands on video. When I feel a little lazy on weekends after a long week's work, I watch your videos to push me to get out there. There have been times when I've returned home extremely glad that I got at least one good keeper. If it wasn't for Spyros, I would have had zero! lol!
+Red & white Victoria thank you very much for your comment! I am extremely happy that you find the Street Hunts inspiring. I am grateful for your support and your motivating words.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
Love your videos! Just a simple question, around minute 19 you point at your hand and do a exposure metering, what exactly are you doing? How do you get the speed, aperture and ISO by focusing on your hand?
+yklus hello. I choose the shutter speed I want to use, e.g. 1/500th, then I set my aperture to where I want, let's say f8 and my ISO to a sensitivity of 1600 for example. I let meter of my hand and see if my exposure is ok. If not, I adjust my ISO accordingly. If I need to do more adjustments, I change my Shutter speed, etc. I repeat until I have got a good exposure. Thanks!
Very wonderfully done. And Kerem is awesome!
+Paradigm Shifters by Nana Gyesie thanks for taking the time to watch and yes, Kerem is a great guy! Without him the Street Hunt would have not have been the same.
I love this. A lot of fun and very inspiring. I've watch I think all the episodes so far.
Good job guys.
+Louie Groenewald thank you so much for your support and for your encouraging comment!

Great video! Very inspirational!
+Dusan Zidar cheers! I am very happy you enjoyed it.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
Great video as always. I really like the look of this place. I'm hopefully going out soon with my camera. I've been ill for some time better now so out I go. All the best Dave hope to see more of your work soon.=)
Hello Dave and thanks for watching! I am glad you are feeling better. New video should be arriving soon. Just got back from Rome. Actually I am replying from the airport :-) Stay tuned!
What an amazing gem this is! I stumbled across it on my search for photo spots for my own trip.
Subscribed and will definitely be watching the rest of the videos.
Sad thing that the channel hasn't been updated with newer videos for several years. Hope you're doing fine...
Spyros.... I just want to tell you how much your videos mean to me. I love street photography and have been doing it for about a year and a half. I live in the US and cannot travel, so you bring me the world with these videos - special thanks to Cosyspeed for making it possible! I have learned so much from your videos - they make me braver on the street! I live the midwestern USA, and people don't 'live' in the streets like they do in other parts of the world, so I am jealous of your opportunities - but enjoy coming along with you, too. I especially liked the photos of the children in the damaged area - so worth documenting. Bless you and what you do and thank you so very much!
+Kimberley Britt Saros you are so kind, thank you very much for your humbling words. I want to also thank you for supporting me and inspiring me with your words to continue. Each time I read a positive comment I feel ready to jump on a plan and hit the streets of another place :-) Be well!
+Kimberley Britt Saros Love your passion and drive. It reminds me when I first started years ago. Keep going mate! Love from Australia!
+Red & white Victoria Thanks. I'm no 'spring chicken', and have been involved in photography most of my life - I just wish I had started SP sooner .....before bad knees limited my endurance. Thanks for the encouragement - nothing could make me stop! :) Love back to Australia from Minnesota!
Kimberley Britt Saros :)
Love these videos!
Thank you very much!!!
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
Thanks again Spyros, particularly in "this" days!
Seb
Thank you very much for watching Seb! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for your answer. Great job, by the way!
+binguhj you are welcome and thank you!
Fabulous video; thanks.
Hello there Roy!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your comment.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
What preset PP or Ricoh GR settings Kerem Nasiplogu is he using?
Wonderful video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video. You can contact Kerem through his shared profiles in the video description. If you ask him I am sure he will be more than welcome to tell you.
Thank you Spyros.
Bravo sou Spyro! Another interesting, informative and inspiring video. You're right when you say each city has two sides to it, most photogs stick to the touristy side but if you dare to venture out of your comfort zone, the results can be amazing, as we have seen here.
+Jeff Sofroniou thank you for watching. I am really glad you enjoyed the video!
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
I really enjoyed the pictures you took. I loved the photo early on when you dropped your shutter to 1/4 and shot the street vendor. Is the Fuji WCL100 the same focal length that you're using?
+Abraham Dakin thank you for watching! Glad you liked the vendor shot. As for your question, yes, the XF18mm is the same focal length as the X100 wide angle conversion glass. Did you find that focal length interesting?
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos I did. I own the X100 but wasn't sure whether the converter was a worthy purchase - but I enjoyed the perspective in your photos. May I ask - did you use a Fuji preset in the photos? I figure Istanbul has nice colours anyway, but they look beaut!
+Abraham Dakin I shoot with RAW but when I edit in LR I usually apply the Astia preset. So, it is applied in post.
Ah okay - Some really great shots from that walk. If you ever come to Thailand, be sure to get in touch!
Will do Abraham Dakin
07:33 "what the fuck are you doing" lmao
So that's what he said!
Hello Spyro, I enjoyed your video a lot. I have been following your videos for some time and I think you are doing a very good job. Going through the really exotic, hence full of photographic opportunities, neighborhoods was a good decision. I live in Istanbul and would want to join you if I had known earlier. I wish you all the best.
+Alper Comoglu thank you very much for commenting! We announce all our trips on our website at www.streethunters.net. You can follow our news there and be up to date at all times. On or website there are links to our Facebook, Twitter and Googleplus pages too. We announce everything there too. Next time I am in your town, I hope we can meet!
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
Hey Spyros nice Streethunt. I am currently at Istanbul for the last 15 days for streetshooting and I plan to stay 15 days more. Could you point out where exactly was that old building with the craftmen at the begining of the video? Thanx
+Andreas Neophytou hello! You are so lucky being in Istanbul :-) The Silverworks or Silversmiths is somewhere here I think if I remember correctly it is somewhere here www.google.gr/maps/place/Buyuk+Yeni+Han/@41.013466,28.9692659,17z/data=!4m7!1m4!3m3!1s0x14cab9937166c39b:0xa1aa6fdcb10b6f5d!2sBuyuk+Yeni+Han!3b1!3m1!1s0x14cab9937166c39b:0xa1aa6fdcb10b6f5d.
great video and interesting city!
Thanks man! You should definitely visit Istanbul
very excited to see a new upload from you, it surely didn't disappoint. you got some great shoots, i'm very jealous. thank you again for a great episode.amazing shoots from Kerem and F.D. Walker, too. the Leica really made the photos pop. The GR delivered great colour and clarity , really like the compositions.
+yutumedia thanks for watching. I am happy I didn't disappoint. I am always worried the video will not be good enough, so your comment really puts a smile to my face.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos Spyros, dont worry you are a master at Street photog, but you have to be lucky and take what the street gives you. great eye for sure. cant win all the time. just KEEP SHOOTING!
Stephen Soukup thanks for your kind words of support man!
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos Never worry that your videos will disappoint, of all the similar SP videos posted, yours are head and shoulders above the rest.
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting! ;-)
Paul Holmes thank you so much mate!
What time of year were you there and what was the weather like? Did you shoot all day or just certain times? Thanks.
+Dean Forbes hello there! I visited in August and I shot for 1 whole day to film this video. The weather wasn't good, there was wind and rain, but it was warm. Thanks
Well done Spyros! Istanbul is one of my favourite cities... I must go back there soon to take some more pictures 😀
+Giuseppe Milo thanks for watching man! Yes, Istanbul is amazing. I am going back one day. It is only a 90 minute flight away from Crete.
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos lucky you 😉
a great Video!
i wish you all the Best. ..
+Peter Haschke I am very happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it.
Great photos!!!!

+Htet Nainglinn thank you for your kind comment.
Spyros - Another FANTASTIC Street Hunt. This is one of my favorite SH's for sure. WOW those pix of the kids in the ruins, that was worth the price of admission / the trip for sure. So sad. Made me cry. Its also sad we cant shoot kits playing here in the USA without getting called in to the cops. You got a lot of keepers on this one. Great job. Im sure it was helpful to have the 2 guides to take you to the best places. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Many thanks mate! Yes photographing kids without getting worried about "society" behavior was such a change for me and it felt so liberating. Kids are a major part of the streets and documenting them is just as important as documenting adults. As for having two guides, that was so cool! Both Kerem and Forrest are awesome guys that really know their way around Istanbul. I was so lucky.
Hello Spyros. Can you share some of the neighborhood you visited im this video for my next trip to Instambul. Thanks in advance
Hello Pascual! Thanks for the question. I shot in the following areas if I remember correctly. Fatih, Arab Market, Galata bridge, Balat, Kadikoy and Taksim square. Hope that helps!
Hi, can I ask what is your flash, please? Thanks!
+binguhj I use the *Fujifilm EF-X20*.
Hey man, great video! But could you explain this Exposure Metering you always do with your hands! :D
+Der Xer thank you for taking the time to watch the *Street Hunt 16 - Istanbul* :-)
As for your question, I meter on the palm of my hand so I get a close to normal reading. I just point it to my hand and expose as I would on a grey card, but because I don't carry a grey card, the hand is just fine, especially for Street Photography purposes.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos Exactly, I just typed out the same and had to delete. He is essentially putting his skin tones in zone 5. Which gives him the most detail from white white to black black.
+Der Xer The hand is slightly brighter than 18% grey card but since he is shooting people in most of his shots its better to expose for skin tones than metering on the overall average scene since a lot of stuff its surrounded by dark archways.
Imam soon Travelling to turkey as tourist, where Can i record video and Take pictures and where not? AirPort is it ok? What about shops and restaurants?
Generally in Istanbul taking photos is not a problem. As long as you follow the standard rules of shooting only in public areas, you should be fine. Shops and restaurants are private areas, so you should ask for permission. Thanks
which cam used kerem nasipoglu? great video congratulations
Thank you for your comment. Kerem is using the Ricoh GR
Fun stuff.
+Ian Livesey many thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Spyros, which camera mounted to your camera do you use to record video?
+John Bolloten hello there and thanks for watching. The camera I use to record video is the SONY Action Cam HDR-AS15. I don't know if SONY sells this version any more. Cheers!
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos many thanks. I am thinking of doing some similar type videos myself.
+John Bolloten awesome! Share a link with me when you do so.
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos Yup they do its like a GoPro: www.sony.com/electronics/action-camera
What is mounted on top of your camera?
Hello Elliot. It is a Sony Actioncam. That is how I record the 1st person perspective.
Very cool, it looks a lot smaller and less obtrusive than the GoPros I see most people using! :)
3:07 missed good shoot with the reflection in the TV.. :)
+Greg Kowal you mean this www.dropbox.com/s/hpfw75l9jmkhd3q/DSCF7943.jpg?dl=0 ?
***** Yeah more like it! Would have liked more of the tower in the reflection. And in B&W
Cheers *****. That was the best I could get at the time :-)
Google Rycote Micro Windjammers, they will help with your audio / wind problem.
Thank you George!
I am having a street hunters marathon!
giving me a lot of ideas, make me more interesting in street photography..
I need to get a smaller camera, maybe a GR :P
+Ahmad AWESOME!!! Yeah, the GR is amazing!! Glad you are enjoying the experience maaaaaaaaan!!!
Soooo nice. Sooooo enjoying. I wish if you record more and more in other areas of Istanbul before you action cams battery was dead.
Funny part in 42:19 . after you said tesekkürlesh the woman or someone else reply: well, but not with garbage container. lol
+عمار الشايب glad you liked the video! Thank you for watching :-)
27:00 - Those kids were so cute. How can people grow up to be so cruel to each other?
Hi my Friend! Great Video with a lot of impressions!!!
Maybe Auto Aperture and Auto ISO up to 3200 was more comfortable i think from my Experience!
Change the settings cost some time and maybe good situations ;)
So my friend, thank you for this video and all the best for you!!!
PS: Spyros did you only had the 18mm for the Pro1? So i think in some Situations in your Video that a 23mm or higher focal length was better, because you get not close enough to the person so maybe 23mm gets better for you? Or a second Camera with higher focal length.... That is no critique, thats a feeling i get when i see youre photography style :)
+Maurizio hello and thank you for your comment man. I have thought about the 23mm, but it is too expensive so I will make due with the 18mm for now. I also have the 27mm but I feel it is too narrow some times. Which one do you shoot with?
***** my pro 1 is asleep, when I shoot I use my x100t ;) (23mm)
Maurizio I see :-)
***** did you check out my blog?
Maurizio No man. Can you share the link please?
Nice video. I like your style. But that wind noise near the beginning was pretty annoying, but there should be an easy way to avoid it in the future. I've seen somebody on youtube intro a piece of fur that you can buy to just stick on the mic and that takes away most of the wind noise. You can probably make it yourself easily.
+DaDonFather fantastic idea mate! I will definitely look into it and get it sorted. I didn't know that was possible.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
+Spyros Papaspyropoulos Its called a "dead cat" since thats what it looks like. They have ones for all different types of mics. This is just one example. Hopefully they have a mini one for your Sony Action cam? www.amazon.com/Movo-WS4-Microphone-Windscreen-Microphones/dp/B00MYG0B20/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442647701&sr=8-2&keywords=dead+cat
+Stephen Soukup cheers! I have already made a DIY one. Let's see how it performs in Rome in 25 days.
It should be tried to make the shooting without flash as explains Henri Cartier Bresson have a wide-open lens , it is much and more fun.
I love your video but I got dizziness, because of that shaking video. You'd better shot video with a stabilizer.
26:13 - Great spot. Love photographing kids.. Easiest subjects.
+Greg Kowal yes it was a great spot.
The quality of this video seems really bad for 2015.Audio too...
+νικος γιώργος thank you for your feedback. We are not professional documentarists and our gear is basic. Once we get more funding and we are able to invest in new and better gear, we hope the quality of our videos will improve too. Thank you for watching, please let us know what you think of our Rome video.
_Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!_
That kid was carrying a machete, wtf?
+patio87 yes it was.
There are many non-Turkish pictures
bade sound
Yes I know. We have made some hacks to the mic and we hope the upcoming Rome video will have better sound.
Sorry bro, couldn't watch it. Two words for you - wind screen.
Yes, I have taken care of it in all future videos.
Are you serious? two people speaking over each other, wind noise that can be removed in post or with a better mic, just a bad vid.
+Robin Horton thank you for your comment. I appreciate your honest feedback and will keep trying to get better. I am not a video expert, I am learning. I only just found out about how to reduce wind noise. Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
crummy sound from the wind- this is a professional? ...and his intrusive shots are pushy and show lack of respect for others imo
Hello, lm street photographer in İstanbul also but when l watch your video l was in shock. Because what you are doing ıs not a street photography, its unbelivable. you take photos of people without permission and disturbing them. Look at 01.30 and 45:00 omg how can you take photos like that ? l do take photos of people and then show them the photo if they dont like l delete the photo near them. But you totally forced that woman in 45:00 . Guys its not the street photography. You can rape to peoples private life when they even dont know and you share their photos here. God bless you !!
+Yılmaz Ünlü I am sorry you see it that way. Street photography has no definition and there are no strict rules on how to do it. It is simply shooting photography in the street. As far as your comments concerning "raping private lives", not only is a very serious comment which I do not like at all to be honest, but as far as shooting people in the streets is concerned, if they are in a public area a photographer can shoot them. In other words being in public removes any right to privacy from being photographed. For me and for many other street photographers it is all about getting the moment, a candid moment not posed photos. Shooting posed portraits with permission as far as I am concerned is portrait photography in the street. It is a small part of street photography but not the definition of it.
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
Spyros Papaspyropoulos the rule is to not be a sick brain who force people to be taken in picture without respecting their human right! You are not in a #zoo ! You don’t realize what you do it #racial you took picture of this lady just because she looks exotic to you, this is #racist there are no differences between you and 19th century photographer who published picture of Arabs slaves women naked. I hope one day you will have enough knowledge of history of representation especially in colonial and post colonial photography. I feel so disgusted by you and your attitude ! You can’t even have a little bit of empathy for this people that you see like inferior to you, who you don’t even allow the right to own their own image! Poor boy not able to have a little shadow of consideration for Other! You are disgusting

Very bad voice recording man, Its only 100$ to get good windproof microphone, you spoiled the video entry, I am sorry but we saw mostly videos while the project is photography, and honestly not that real street impressing photography results. good luck next time, really bad voice recording, wind in your microphone spoiling everything. you did it in the wrong way, specially with the woman wearing black. This was not street photography, it was tourists regular non professional photography, Dislike
Really a shame video and especially sound is so poor.
+Thomas Jessen thank you for you feedback
You guys seem so disrespectful to the locals. Taking the public space privilege too far especially with the kids.
We had a Turkish guide that instructed us in the do's and don'ts. Also, western culture concerning kids differs to eastern culture. I assume you didn't watch the whole video because this matter is discussed in 33:50.
Thank you for watching.
Spyros Papaspyropoulos
You are a liar it not part of our culture to let white men take picture of women and children without their permission ! It’s ridiculous !
