In this video I explain how I like to adapt and use the different forms of natural light available to us on the streets. Enjoy! Directed by Biz Thompson.
Thank you to everybody for the welcome here on TH-cam, especially to those who have subscribed. Also all the video theme suggestions are much appreciated!
Dude these 10 minutes are already more educating than 99% of the videos i've seen the last 6 months. Really thank you for doing this!!! I'm an amateur photographer just starting up the hobby and i really really appreciate your time and work put into this.
Fully agree! I’ve been using the multi-metering mode forever! I’m switching to spot metering on my camera for these situations. Hope to get some nice, contrasty/dramatic images. Strong work on this video! Keep ‘em coming. Thank you for sharing your experience and your knowledge!! 👍🏽📸👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@carlosmcse as i said, i'm an amateur hobbyist in photography. I havent taken any lessons and all the overcomplicated technical stuff about metering and a thousand variations can get frustrating to a newbie. Alan's simple and fun approach works for ME personally. I suggest you stop advising ppl what to watch and what not to and let them make their own decisions about what works for them :)
Can't wait for Alan to do a review of what 50mm lens is best for a Leica - I can already tell it will be wayyyy better than some peoples attempts on TH-cam 😂
This channel is so going to kick a$$!! It has just two videos and already it’s packed with more goodness than others combined. Great stuff so refreshing to see you in action and little gear talk. Love it Alan.
Welcome to TH-cam Alan and thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques in a hugely entertaining manner! Look forward to seeing many more videos from you 👍
So thankful for your photo work and your work putting this channel together. The information you are delivering is very helpful and extremely fun to watch, thank you!
I just stumbled across this video and I absolutely loved it. It was educational, the examples were superb and what's more ... it made me laugh out loud! Thank you Alan.
This was excellent Alan, love the humour and the relaxed way you cover the subject. Your work is truly amazing and I will be following your videos avidly!🙏
Thank you so much for this, Alan! It's not easy to be quite serious about honing one's craft, without losing the ability to have fun at the same time and be genuinely relaxed and always ready to learn new things and be surprised every now and then by what the process itself shows and teaches us each time. But you do it so well! I look forward to watching your other videos! All the very best!
I'm a huge fan, I've been for years and I'm so happy you finally have your own youtube channel. I subscribed right away and I can't wait for the next videos. Thank you so much!
Bless you Alan! This has to be the best video on the subject for sure. Many people waffle on about lighting and shadows and flat light and rim light. You explain it AND show examples of it! Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
great video. you're gonna kill it mate. also, ive watched over 50 videos on exposure and film and shooting and metering and literally NO ONE has thought to point out literally WHERE on the picture they are metering like you've done @ 04:49 . it's so hugely valuable to see where you put your square so we can learn the relationship between the placement of the meter sensor to get the settings you need to get the picture you want. THANK YOU
I do my street photography with a NIKON D 750 + 50mm lens or a 70 - 300 mm zoom. And normally I am very opposed to NOT looking through the viewfinder. Masters like HCB only worked this way - simply because there was no monitor then. BUT: the way you do it seems to work just fine! What I sometimes do is to flip my monitor, hold the camera at bellybutton height and shoot "the Vivian Maier way". Works also with a long lens if you can place your camera on a restaurant table for instance. People don't notice anything. And you can "steal" some fine portraits!
So glad you're starting this channel. I've enjoyed watching several earlier videos about your photography and always found them inspiring so I was really excited to find that you've started your own channel. Great video!
loving your conent! especially your presentation! it makes it not only educational but also fun to watch! keep it going! what i loved the most in this video is the showcases and how you explain each. looking forward to every vidoe you are going to post ! much love
Great content! Really well recorded. I am glad that you share some valuable tips. Tips with exposure 👌🏼 I am already looking for the next one, beautiful pictures 🙌🏼
