This is the first comment I've ever written on TH-cam and I've been on TH-cam since the beginning. I just had to tell you that this was a great video. I've been a commercial photographer for the last 15 years and I can say that while it's obvious you're considerably talented, you speak in a humble way and your content is accessible to both beginners and pros. Very well done bro!
I agree.. I’ve been shooting for about 4 years and I’ve NEVER shot at night. Always in a studio setting but, the way he came across has me really paying attention.
I shoot mostly b/w , using spot metering to avoid blowing highlights. Amazing how a dull subject in daylight can become mysterious and beautiful at night.
Excellent advice. I travel to Tokyo almost weekly and I stay on west coast USA time. That means I'm up at 1 am. Out the door I go for night photography in Roppongi and Akasaka. The place changes drastically at night and is super safe, clean, and there are many places to grab a bite to eat. It's perfect, really.
I love shooting in the night, especially if it's wet, as you mentioned, because of the limited light and the reflections. But until now mostly using a tripod and long shutter speeds. So you can let people disappear if you want. I think I will try to catch some magic moments without a tripod next time. Thanks for your inspiring video, even there were not many technical tips, but these were fundamental.😊👍
Great video, thank you so much. Re safety: I once took my OM-5 with an anamorphic lens to get some cool lens flare shots. No bag, just a 61 year old guy with a nice camera at 3:00am. I got 3 blocks into my walk, when I ran back to my hotel like crazy, as 3 druggies really liked my camera. Scary at the time, but hell funny now.
Awesome advice. Thank you. I can also highly recommend knee pads, like the ones tilers use. They are comfortable during low angle photography, and they keep the knees dry.
Great video, clear and precise tips without the "this is what you must do" pressure, but your thoughts from genuine experience. Great shots, the Triangle of Sadness is a great capture. I'm now subscribed 👍
Eren. Thank you so much for another excellent post. I'm a London night hawk, chasing the light. After 3 years, I'm finally gathering a collection of interesting images. I sometimes use the WR 56mm f/1.2, difficult it is, but when I get it right the images are lovely. What you post drives me on. So, please keep posting and I'll keep watching.
You are one of the few content creators on this platforms that's actually a master of his craft. Because of you, 4 years ago I've got my 1st camera (Fujifilm XT3), and the way you create imagines has inspired me to make the best of my local area. You are awesome my dude, cheers from Transilvania !
Thank you for this very informative video.(P.S. I also think you should display only one photo at a time and show them a bit longer… Your photos are beautiful!) Thanks for sharing!
Really great tips but also - solid images, they really convey the sense of purpose and storytelling you have in shooting and image selection (the Triangle of Sadness pic - ace!)
So true about being dressed for weather. I was in D.C. and got caught in the rain. There were lots of opportunities for shots but I was wet, cold and my feet were soaked. I couldn't concentrate on taking good shots and missed an opportunity.
Okay, this is a great video, thank you. I too have been a professional photographer for more than 32 years. I enjoyed the excellant advice you shared, especially telling the story, dressing comfortably, and staying safe. Once again, thank you, and be well.
Thanks so much. Loved your calm and peaceful style which is hard to find on social media. Great point about wearing comfortable clothing - I find that to be a critical component so I can actually concentrate on the photos.
I rarely watch any master classes and lessons longer than 1 minute, this is enough to appreciate the complete failure of the author. This video gave me great aesthetic pleasure and, which happens very rarely, I was imbued with the author's ability to convey his impression of what he saw in an image, despite the hackneyed wording, very few have this ability, but they talk about it and even (what a laugh) teach others very many who themselves do not know how to do anything. Huge thanks and respect to the author!
Useful and sensible tips. Just for shooting in the rain, I live in Marseille (France), notorious precisely for being a dry area. But I will be on the lookout.
I'm new to photography and this video helped out alot. I've been shooting good portraits, daytime photos, nature photos etc. but I never really knew how to shoot at night. This will help out very much. Thank you.
Great pictures. Still, nighttime is not only lonely people. You can also go to busy places and capture the movement versus people who don't move. Capture smiling faces on fairs and festivals.
Thanks so much for sharing or simply trying to share your talent. You’re obviously a very talented photographer who lives & oozes skill & passion for photography.
Great video and instructive. Love many of your shots. Unfortunately, I often found it difficult and distracting two great images side by side at one time. I wish you had displayed only a single image at a time, and for longer. It left me wanting more.
This is/was a great video! I’m in Nashville, Tenn for a lil vacay. Can’t wait to get out there at night. I’ve always known to keep the iso low at night, but imma try your trick and see what a lil noise does. Your numbers surprised me. Great video!
Always been into early light or golden hour photography, you got me thinking! Great mood in your photos, Definately will get it to that space. Love the candid and loneliness aspect reflected in the shadows. Awesome!
Love night street photography, your advices are good and your style very nice, thanks. And yes living in a big city with a rainy weather is a must. Where I live is a really small town and at the night, in the more safety streets, is lifeless. No interesting lights, non interesting peoples.
Thank you for this, I’ve been wanting to expand to night street photography. What you said about rain I also apply to landscape photography, to me it adds natural contrast and better color. I can see this being the same in the streets as well.
Really excellent tips, especially the tip to dress warm... such an obvious thing, but one you may ignore! Keeping comfy means you’ll focus on taking pictures and not getting home where it’s warm. Thx!!!
I'm a big fan of Auto ISO during daytime. During nighttime, I like to slide my shutter speed dial (on my X-T5) to 60 or 125. My front command dial is set to toggle (with a quick press) between 1) moving my Exposure Compensation and 2) adjusting the chosen shutter speed up and down a bit. (For example, at 1/60 my front dial lets me vary it from 1/40 and 1/100). So I can can get plenty of useful control just with that one front dial, allowing me to get shots quickly at the best exposure. (Of course, also adjusting my aperture ring separately as needed).
Thanks for your tips. I practice the frist time last month with fine results. Also bought your presets and used them in LR. I used your presets for my mushroom photography too and they worked out great. Thanks a lot. Greetings from The Netherlands.
I have a Fujifilm XT-30 and I'm a little scared to shoot it in the rain? Do you use any covers or have some tipps for not getting your gear wet? Great video!
I am new to TH-cam and also photography in general. I have purchased a SONY ZV-E10 and a SIGMA 16mm F1.4. This is great for youtube videos but can you suggest settings and ideas for low light photography? thanks in advance
Eren, great tips, thx. Question? I’m headed to Truro and Falmouth down in Cornwall in late April. Have you done any street photography in that part of England?
hi very inspiring video. it makes me wanna go out and try some photography. I didn't realize that rainy days are actaully kind of amazing to go out and shoot. what kind of lens do you use the most?

That sounds like the absolute perfect place to shoot nights!

😅 gotta have a little bag to slip that camera into
Where did this happen?
@@woutvandesompele8310 Melbourne, Australia.
@@petermcginty3636but did you lose the camera?
@@ethicalrecordings Oh, no. That was not going to happen😂. Thanks for asking.
The algorithm sent you my way. GODDAMN bro, those shots are PURE FIRE!! Subscribed!!!
Huge thanks! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow. Your photos are stunning. Every one is a painting. Such moodiness. Thanks
Thanks Keith!

Your photographs are lovely bloke. I would never shoot at night without friends. Cities can bring out the sketchiest of characters.

Nice video. Thanks for the tips. I would add, do carry cheap gear in not so safe areas.

Beautiful pictures Eren. Far most the most appealing photography genre is low light for me. More video about tips please. Thank you.

Beautiful night shots!
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!
Same as everyo9ne else. Great work!
I agree what you wear is really important if your cold or your feet are hurting from walking cold mean you don’t end your photo walk 😮😊
Often not mentioned! but how you dress has a big impact on photography :D
Great tips, beautiful night work ! I’ve subscribed!
Huge thanks! 🙏🏼
Your arguments regarding night photography are correct and perfectly presented. I practice it a lot myself and I love it. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this, I’ve been wanting to expand to night street photography. What you said about rain I also apply to landscape photography, to me it adds natural contrast and better color. I can see this being the same in the streets as well.

100% , not often talked about but how you dress makes a huge diff!
Excellent video, really useful, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, will give it go in Tokyo tmr, btw, love you photos.
Great tips!! Like you, the night calls to me - there's nothing like a city at night. Urban nightscapes are my fav to shoot.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Jasmine!
Great video! Should be in photography courses! Im excited to take these tips and use them practically, thank you
Very straight and simple narration! Nice tips.

Another great vid Eren. I want to do a wire wool spinning shoot, any tips on setting for that? Thanks..:>
Very helpful, great presentation. Crisp, clear, and to the point. Thanks
Thanks Jim!
Very good tips thanks brother
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks Martin!

Hi Eren ! Thanks for the tips. Very useful :)
How do you protect your gear from the rain ?
Great content. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you!
I have a Fujifilm XT-30 and I'm a little scared to shoot it in the rain? Do you use any covers or have some tipps for not getting your gear wet? Great video!
I agree! I have a night shot at 10500 ISO
It sure helps to get into a big city i just dont have that freedom just yet
A clear keyword for night shooting "lonliness". That's it ! Thank you !
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am new to TH-cam and also photography in general. I have purchased a SONY ZV-E10 and a SIGMA 16mm F1.4. This is great for youtube videos but can you suggest settings and ideas for low light photography? thanks in advance

I went once years ago when I was just geting into photography , loved it
Woah, the shot at 8:48 is wicked!
