Great video. There is another train of thought I read for street photography a lot is that you should set the ISO and shutter speed to Auto and this frees you up to concentrate on the composition. I found when shooting with my R5 I followed your advice but when I used my x100v I used auto a lot. Some of my best shots are from the 100v, so much so that I am in the process of selling my Canon equipment to buy a Leica Q3.
I recently returned to photography, bought cheap Canon 2000D kit and I am happy. WHat I found is best thing ever on digital cameras (compared to my ancient Nikon 3000 film camera) is auto ISO. I cannot emphasize how painfull is to have one film at say 200 ISO and you go out and day went to crap. It was basically game over. My system is now to set all other exposure parameters and let camera decide ISO up to 6400 so i can take photo and not miss it. Usualy I can edit most of minor details on PC later. RAW file format is gond sent thing lol.
Just got my hands on some old digicams from the early 2000s---do these settings still apply?/ Any you would suggest in particular? Currently messing with an 800 iso for some more grainny looks.
Top top man i am hitting Manchester today about 4ish do street for the 1st with a canon 80d, going to stay till dark get some longexposure and get the golden hour, any tips for golden hour, just gutted my canon 70-200 f2.8 mark iii not come in time. Cheers for the tips.🤜🤛👍
Good basics and video. Covered day and night and exposures. Depth is a helpful tool but like any image based upon preferences. Night time you can shoot as slow as 1/30th sec handheld without much issue. Use your frame and look where strong light source is at night and build a shot from there. Ironically street photography is raw and film with grain and such was part of the landscape of choices and seldom hear of it from content creators who never shot film.
1/30th is too slow for anything that is moving unless you want motion blur as an aesthetic choice. Minimum I use is 1/200th to 1/400th. 1/200th for normal movevement, 1/400th fast movement. The higher you can get shutter speed the better. Anything under 1000 iso is fine. The shorter the focal lenght of the lens the wider you can open the aperture and still have a large depth of field. You can shoot F 5.6 or lower on a 35mm lens and everting will be in focus.

@@MikeChudley I use the old one.. Canon EOS 600D, it's my father's camera, he don't really use it anymore and I just want to try Street Photography things
Love your videos and street style this is something I been wanting to dip my fingers in more I'm shooting on the Canon EOS R love my 35mm Prime need to be hitting London more its my local city would be cool a video on how you find spots.
Great tips ! Would you consider shooting in Aperture Priority for street photography as well ? Sometimes I end up missing the shot or beign too late because I was adjusting the Manual settings.
that's very true - I stick to manual as I do believe having the most customisation will allow you to get the best shot. But if it's not quick enough then using something like aperture p can help for sure.
Solid subject intro and well illustrated, Mike! If you didn’t cover the topic before, suggest a follow up vid about exposing for the highlights: expose to the right, using histogram as a guide (or using at least clipping indicators). Cheers!
All great tips. As for ISO and noise though, is it the devil that people purport it to be? I never shot film (maybe I should?) but I have a shelf full of books full of photos shot on film in a variety of lighting conditions. Some of my favorites are grainy (noisy) high ISO film shots of Times Square. Do I notice the grain, not before I admire the image?
I know this is way too late, but to anyone else seeing this: film grain is massively different from artificial digital grain. Film grain often adds character and actually looks nice to the eyes, whereas digital grain is almost always the opposite.
@@atlasaskskindly5437During the flim days of the 1970s, f/8 and be there was a common phase for hand-held photographic work. But it's important to note that the film commonly used (Tri-X) had an ISO of 400 and sometimes pushed to 800 or more. The lens of choice was the 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4. (Many preferred a 35mm optic.) Seldom did street shooters use aperture settings other than f/8 or f/5.6. This setting is often considered the sweet spot for many lenses (but not all) in terms of optical quality. Beyond f/11 (e.g., f/16) for most lenses made for hand-held cameras, lens diffraction occurs, which is a softening of the photographic image as a result of light striking and being bent by the lens aperture blades. Here are the starting-point settings that I use for hand-held work using a Sony a6400 camera with either a 23mm or 35mm lens: Bright Sunny Days Camera set to aperture priority. Aperture: f/5.6 or f/8 Shutter speed: 1/200 sec. ISO: 100 Adjust settings as needed for correct exposure. Light Overcast Camera set to aperture priority. Aperture: f/5.6 or f/8 Shutter speed: 1/200 sec. ISO: 200 Adjust settings as needed for correct exposure. Heavy Overcast Camera set to aperture priority. Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter speed: 1/200 sec. ISO: 400 Adjust settings as needed for correct exposure. Before an important shoot, get to know your camera and how it performs under different lighting conditions. Shooting indoors or at night often requires very different camera settings.
Thanks for this nice advice buddy, great photo's you make, love to watch your video's keep on going and stay save, And ofcorse big like and supscribe ✌🏻
Well your wrong about the ISO... iso by itself does not add any noise to the photo, iso is only a "brightness booster" that only makes visible the noise that is already in the photo due to the lack of light... Thanks to these "advices", a lot of people keep the iso to a minimum, but it is not enough for them to get a good photo aperture or shutter speed and then they are surprised that they have poor quality photos
I think if increasing iso increases visible noise, the explanation in the video is fine. Yes, people need to understand you still get amazing shots at higher iso though.
Merci !
Thanks!
Exposing for the highlights is one of the most valuable tips I’ve learnt. For me a 200 shutter and 2.8 aperture is always a good place to start.
Yeaah thanks for watching man! Those seem like a good place to start for sure!
How do I concretely get control over that ? I mean, ok i put all the needed settings, nail my focus, but how do I choose to "expose the highlights" ?
And if you shoot film, expose for the shadows!
Honestly, one of the most helpful and well made videos on photography tips here on YT. Thanks for this
That’s great to know, thank you
Coming back to photography after about 15 years off. A good refresher to get going again.
I came to this video like 5 times now, it's just the most simple and easy tutorial to set the camera settings, thank you ❤
Amazing video and can be applied to more than just street. I love it. Thank you from a novice photographer with a new camera lol
great video Mike! Very simple to follow and understand. Beginner photographers will be taking sharp images in no time with this info.
Cheers Dan! Let’s shoot soon again ✌🏻✌🏻

Thanks for watching, appreciate it mate!
Set apperture to f8 during day iso about 400-800, and shutter on auto use exposure compensation to stay slightly underexposed easy
That was incredibly useful!!!

Auto definitely - but it does depend how good the camera + lens is.

That's down to your lens. Not the camera.
