I prefer these types of videos rather than just review videos. I learn so much more. Thanks!
Thanks. Hoping to make half the videos each year more of this ✌🏾
You had me at "Learn how to f**king cook!" ❤
Great video.
Excellent. If you are an artist allow your emotions of the moment to be applied to the canvas.
This was suchhhhh fire!!!
Shoutout to the Church x Street read binge I’m about to go on while I watch this
Appreciate you fam ✊🏾
Great tips Gajan! always appreciate your advice ;)
As someone who learned photography in the film era, this brings a smile on my face. Whatever settings you use, you can now check your picture and change the settings for the next one. We had to learn how to cook and taste a few days later.
Great video Gajan. I have been struggling with my photography this year and if I take anything from this video it's that I want to "learn how to cook" in my own style... a huge part of this for me is accepting that I'm going to make a lot of "bad dishes" along the way but that doesn't matter... it's all about experimenting, learning from the results, and loving the process.
I would call this video a mini Master Class. Excellent and makes me question my regular approach to my photography.
Truly appreciate that, thanks for watching.
watching from Tokyo...newbie here...thank you ...best advise i came across.....chef and ingredients. Questions...perhaps please share how many shots of same scene as most of us thinking , the pros usually take that ONE MAGIC and thats all to it and a bit of post edit to make it even great pic.
That reading with your hand is super interesting, I am going try that at my daughters soccer games tomorrow
Sick of gear videos. I want more of this. I want to learn to cook.
It’s gonna be 50/50 cuz there’s always some bills to pay, but trust me when I say I enjoy writing these video more.
@GajanBalan definitely respect that.
Street photography is a different animal, as it comes down to if you have time to make these kind of adjustments!
Most of the time I don’t have the time and it’s best left on program. Although you can program it to make the most of your hits possible!
I do two types of photography I do some professional work and then I do Street photography for fun but there is no money in Street photography so I really don't care what I shoot to be honest I just have fun and play around and then when I have to switch on to the serious stuff I will do that
I don't chimp. i hate it but i do take a "test shot " when I arrive on the street just to get a feeling for my settings. I make some adjustments as I move through the scene. if you have those test settings in hand you know your in the neighborhood of where your settings should be and adjust accordingly. Seems to me if your not in the neighborhood you ain't ready to shoot. Gajan has it right. Knowing or observing what the scene looks like is the most important thing of all. It's so important to see it and be prepared for it than not. All this is inferred in Bresson's decisive moment. Studio photographers take test shots to make sure they get it right. On the street we may not have a studio but we can borrow from the technique to improve our street work.
I keep running into the fact that Leica will violate the floor I set for shutter in aperture priority with auto ISO and I get blurry images when the camera thinks proper exposure level is too low. No way to guarantee the lowest shutter I want other than the manual setting.
Yep, same issue on several brands. This is why usually set the shutter myself much of the time.
Yeah, my M11 can recover three stops of under exposure but not of blurry pictures.
Third ask for where you got your shutter button on the Leica
This is a custom shutter from Jay Tsujimura shopjay.com/
Thanks Gajan@@GajanBalan
First one!
EZ. You just use P for professional. 👍
😂
you took a big risk for yourself and your camera by taking the photo off the boys playing cricket.
Fortune favours the bold
Seems a no-brainer to state that a photographer should manipulate their settings based on their environment and intended outcome.
For a seasoned photographer, sure. For someone that’s earlier in their craft, prepping for the result instead of starting with a recipe might be a new concept.
