Great video, Hugh. I like how the street sweeper turned out in print. I've just picked up a Sigma 90mm to go with a Sony A7C II for a compact setup - looking forward to testing it out on the streets.

Thanks, again, Hugh. I don’t lose photographic motivation but I have recently become super motivated to document scenes of Americana - things from my childhood, non-chain standalone shops, hand-painted signs, etc. I look at them as architectural portraits. This focus has helped me channel my energy toward an unintended collection of sorts based on gratitude, nostalgia, and an appreciation for craftsmanship. Thanks for this and all your videos, Hugh. Your friend in Texas, Eric.

2:03 Love the choice of blur with the sign and again with the “Slow Down” sign at 2:30. Really beautiful.

Though I did notice the 'camera police' and got pulled up quite a few times.

Love that photo of the women on the escalator. Nice one! I am a keen photographer like yourself and like all sorts of photography. I left London 30 odd years ago but go back once a year. I was there a week ago and love shooting around the same area. What strikes me is the incredible amount of photographic opportunity in the city. I had a good couple of days and came away with some winners. The weather was also incredibly good so I could take advantage of shadows/highlights and the blue sky for colour shots. Good stuff!

the bnw shots look great!

Really appreciate your scene critiques. The discussion about the “5” photos was extremely helpful. And of course, the photo critiques are always great. I really like your border choice in these prints. My favorite print is the matte version of the girl in the tube. I thought you’d say more about all the other characters in the scene, though. Thanks for all you do, Hugh!

South Bank is always worth a wander, I'm more patient than you! ;)

Another great video, subbed. Your channel deserves more views! really good to hear your thought process and post photo review.

For me its why. Why do I want to make images?

Thanks for this intelligent analysis of creative block, Hugh. I can see myself in at least four of your reasons.

Some nice shots fella, I live near Cambridge and seem to struggle getting close to people, I’ve got a Fuji x100v so getting near is a must. Guessing you’re shooting from the hip. I love that you printed them out too.

Subscribed. Hope to see many more videos on your channel in 2024 and beyond.

Good video again. I really like the format. And more importantly I really love your photos. Thank you for sharing this.

Really well done! I really love how you edit in black and white (are the edited right? 😊)

The City affords lots of opportunities, Hugh, and you visited many of the locations that I tend to haunt when in town. For me, the running man outside Lloyd's was the pick of the crop, although all the other images were strong. The Breakfast Spuds picture was another I really liked. You certainly had a productive day.

Are your annual books for sale?

Some folks may think 90mm is kinda long-ish... but that's the point: very tight framing. With wide angle lenses, sometimes you'll easily put more unwanted stuffs your frame. Of course, documentary-style street photography generally favors wide angle lens, and there's Saul Leiter/Ralph Gibson etc who make abstract-ish shots. Kinda different approach.

You’ve been missed! My pick is the ladies at the coffee shop. Love the composition. Love the colors. I really like what you did with the colors in the subway station - especially with my favorite at 1:15. Welcome back and thanks as always for a wonderful tutorial.

Good video 👍🏻🤩 Enjoyed it much

Welcome back! I missed your videos and kept checking whether you released a new one.

On your way to 1K subscribers, well done Hugh !

Everyone looked downright miserable on the subway.

I am surprised that the dog walker going past the red doors of the fire station failed to make the cut. Same with the skirted man - both are quirky images, and I like them a lot.

Great video but it really, really does not need the constant background music. Just irritating. Videos do not need constant noise.

Nice video. In particular, I enjoyed your explanations of your prints. Thanks

I'm not a person who posts any comments in general... But this video and channel totaly deserves it! I'm shocked that you haven't a big count of subrscribers. And... your photos are just wonderful. They are about my preferred style of "street photography" with architecture beeing the greater structure that paves the lead to humans or their traces. Just subscribed and I'll be keeping an eye around here!

Excellent work, love your photography. Now subscribed!

Hope you don't mind if I nit-pick Hugh, does it not bug you that the football fan has a pole growing out of his head?

Watching this video completes the task of scrutinising your whole channel for me, so thanks for creating a really inspiring body of work. I eagerly await new videos.

Colour was absolutely necessary in Time Stands Still and A Shade After Twelve. You seem to take shots about something, rather than of something; they do a superb, narrative job.

Another great video Hugh. Really like the format of your videos; the studio intro, the street footage and then the print review outro. 😎👍👍

Wow! London is truly no longer an English city. Sad.

Excellent!

I now shoot predominantly in b&w, although my camera also records RAW files. I seldom refer to the RAW files, except when the shot is so clearly about colour. For me, it is high contrast monochrome for at least 95% of my shots. This is a complete U turn on what I was doing 2 years ago.

The awning and umbrella shot is pleasing, but the cyclist going past Campkin's Cameras is the one I like most; the reflections on the paving are sublime. Having said that, the man with cardboard box did not appeal much at first glance, but the way the lines on the box echoed the joints in the sandstone of the hotel grew on me the longer I looked at it. The path that runs along the edge of the car park is one of my favourite haunts and you captured the light there so well. I sometimes venture towards the railway station and there is a covered pedestrian bridge over the lines that offers some intriguing composition opportunities. Have you ever shot there, Hugh?

It's very interesting to hear about your thought process during the taking of the shots. The post-session analysis and printing of the favourite shots really serves to elevate your efforts from the vast amounts of street photography videos on TH-cam, so well done for coming up with something innovative

Another great video, Hugh!! Thank you for sharing your work and thought process! Positive vibes and support from Texas, USA!!! Eric

Hugh. Sorry but had to keep skipping through this video due to the extremely annoying and loud background music. Has it been there on your other videos and I hadn’t noticed, I am not sure. 🙁🙁

I really enjoy my Tamron 70-300 for street photography. I can reach things I can’t get to. The vid was a little dissapointing tho. No clowns, no elephants, poor excuse for a circus….

Another great video Hugh !!

You have some interesting individual shots, but as a set they make a great statement about what Brighton is.

What's the deal with all those tents?

Great video Hugh. You are extremely creative with your photography. Hope it’s ok to nick some of your ideas when I go out at the weekend? Cheers. Wayne 👍😎

Superb images Hugh. Loving the videos. I am really pleased to have found your Channel. I am wanting to get into Street Photography and your tips are spot on. 😎👍

What a wonderful eye - full of texture & composition - Cheers!

Hey Hugh, great shots for a single walk. My favorite is the 4 umbrellas in a row, but it wasn't included in the prints. Also, I prefer the blue and pink pastel version vs the b&w. Thanks for the printout analysis portion, that really is my favorite part. And I think you nailed a good length for this photo. Your 20 min videos felt too long, and a photowalk of more than 10 mins also felt too long.

What kind of photographer does not enjoy a bit of bag porn? I don't (yet) have a Leica, but when I do I am going to buy one of those beautiful German leather bags designed specifically for Leicas. Oberwerth seem to create gorgeous bags. One thing I carry with me is a small spiral-bound notebook in which I can write down anything of interest, especially the What3Words location of places I may wish to revisit. I plan to have my own TH-cam channel and intend to give fellow snappers the precise locations of my shots, so noting down things is a necessity.

I really like and relate to your process. You’re much more patient than the snag and grab NYC street guys. LOVE the bridge shot of the punt passing underneath. My vote is for the color version of the lady with the umbrella. The limited color palette is a great unexpected catch!! Yes, the bicycle shot is a wonderful shot. Almost a still life. The framed umbrella shots are wonderful! I really like the raindrops. Thank you, again, for such a wonderful video.

These are streets that I also wander, so it was interesting to see what you came away with.
