Well, a Leica M6 is not really know to be weather sealed and had no plans to find out how it could handle rain but while I was shooting in St. Petersburg it started to rain and I refused to stop shooting. xD
For all of you who where concerned when I posted a photo of my wet M6 on Instagram, I can assure you that the camera still works just fine. Also my 28mm Summicron survived the rain without any issues.
See you soon in the next one!

I never shoot with a flash and now you give me a second thought ! I am amazed how people NOT reacting to your flash during the night in St. Petersburg!
Something tells me that there are some cities where the people might be less understanding. I wouldn’t attempt this in Boston or Philly lol
@@seanuminski As well as the Arab countries😂😂😂
That bus photo is awesome!
Damn. That shot of the bus driver with the masked guy and reflection is amazing.
Why are you so daring... Wow. Thanks for this. So inspiring as always.
Robin, you go man! You don’t let weather stop you! Nothing like staying motivated bro!
siempre increíble Robin!! Inspiración total.
very inspiring to watch!, also i think it would be cool to see a Q2 Monochrome video from a rainy night like this one!
Woww, great moment. Street photography on rainy, that's awesome and more challenging. good job anyway, Robin.. 👍
This is certainly next level street photography and an inspiration for aspiring amateurs like myself to get out there and try to capture touching moments.
Thank you Tom. 🙂
Love that film! The flash was a brilliant choice. So good to see that everyone was fine with it.
If people stop and think about it, imagine how much in depth there is to a different world of possible photographs when rain is introduced. It’s an entirely different world opened up . Good on you for getting out there and making it happen!
Bloody amazing work mate.
I am watching all St. Peter.. videos as well as rest, but there, you got some guts to do some photos and not get called out for those :)
I, too, am amazed at your courage. There are so many homeless people roaming around in my hometown. Your video says something good about the people of Saint Petersburg. Normally I don't like "flash" photos, but yours were really interesting. Thanks for this video.
Großartig, Robin! Mach ein Fotoheft mit den Bildern daraus. 😎 Das geht ab.
Danke dir! Dafür habe ich leider nicht genug Material. Habe auch schon andere Ideen für ein neues Magazin. 😀
These are so dope! I’d love to own a print or 5 of this series!
Thank you Josh!
had the same problem with the flash cube it wouldn't work on my Fuji x-pro3 so I exchanged it a Godox tt350 & trigger works fine
How do you calculate the power u need of the flash in the vid? How do u know when should use the specific power tho thx ! Nice vid again
8.26 - very cool
what flash do you use for your m6? I like your work!! It's awesome!
I think pics will look much better in b&w with the flash, i just don't like how film color pics look at night with the flash.
Kudos to your guts to shoot with the M6 in the rain and with a flash🙀👍! Here in Germany I would expect to go from streetphotography into a decent streetfight if I would try this (or at least a somewhat nasty discussion with the police)🤪🥳. And although I‘m not the biggest fan of streetphotography with a flash, your pics came out pretty good😃👍👋!
This can also be done in Germany. 😀
Hi Robin, are you still using that new very small video camera you bought like 2 months or so ago ?
The raindrops on the video camera lens gave some sort of nice bokeh stars around the lights, very nice.
Thanks for walking in the rain to share this video hehehe.
Greetings
I actually used a different camera this time when I went to St. Petersburg, it's much better in low light. I might do a video talking about this in more detail.
I have the same issue with this flash in combination with black m6. It doesn’t work with my Leica but with my Sony a7r 3 it works just fine.
Noch eine super Video!! Wann kommt das „zine“ mit „Street & Flash“ wo du uns dein beste Foto mit Blitz zeigen wurdest? 😉😇
Danke dir! Neues Zine kommt sicherlich dieses Jahr aber hab dafür schon ein paar andere Ideen.
Nice video, I have a classic Leica M6, is it weather or rain proof ? 😅 wanna try the same
Nice! :)
Wow with a flash - that's really bolt.
My favorite is the bus drivers shot!
Are you leaving your camera at a fixed shutter speed for these photos? I love how sharp they are with the flash
Yes, I did use one shutter/aperture combination for the entire shoot.
Hello how did you record on this video with cameras on both hands??
Run & Gun: Bruce Gilden Style! Nice! Just when I thought I couldn't feel any more uncomfortable watching u shamelessly do your thing.. :p Good job Robin, enjoyed!
Thank you! 😀
A small "umbrella", made out of a piece of plastic, would prevent the lens of the GoPro getting wet. Or at least reduce a volume of water on the lens. Likewise, I was using plastic bags to cover the camera a lot during the downpour. A hole on it for the lens, then you put a lens hood from the outside, maybe a smaller hole on the bag for the viewfinder and voila! Now granted, I vas using autofocus cameras, both film and digital, without any issues. Doing that with the manually focussing lens is a bit trickier...
It’s crazy how much you decomplex the idea of shooting with the flash. I do shoot, my own with the flash in the streets, but I do always feel guilty and very weird about it. Idk.
Braver Man than i!
I'm the guy who sticks his head out of the door and looks up to the sky to see if there's a drop in it.
Flash at night probably depends where you live. I shot someone with flash at night in Los Angeles once (Hollywood). I'd just shot an event for someone and was walking back to my car. I had my camera and flash with me, and that was the only time i've ever been yelled at by someone after taking a pic. Plus people here will stab you.. 😬
If people react in such an aggressive way then there are for sure some underlying issues responsible. Something for Sociologists to think about. 😆
Thanks again for your video! And thanks for mentioning the flash problems - I own 3 Leica M6 (silver, black & titan) and the flash Q20 II is not working on all three of them. I bought this flash because I've seen it in your videos and it is disappointing that it doesn't work on my M6 cameras. It doesn't fire when I take a picture but it fires perfectly afterwards when the film is not transported to the next frame - in this state it is perfectly synced and flashes everytime I hit the release button but it won't once the next frame should be taken. It is a pitty!!!
Yeah, it's a little annoying and they should try to fix the issue when they have a new version at some point.
i want to ask is your camera m6 classic? i bought the same flash , and can not use on my leica m6 classic . Is that i am the only person facing this problem?
Like I said in the video, both of my M6 bodies are classic ones.
I found the Q20 is pretty finicky.
Works with most of my film cameras. Works with my cheap film Canon Rebel G, but will not work with either of my two Canon Elan 7.
I’m super confused =,D I’ve got 3 Rollei 35’s and I bought one of the Q20 however I just can’t get them to work with it aswell. The cameras r all functioning they will work with any other flash I have, but the Q20 will only work with 2 of my SLR’s.
I think they should probably disclose that it won’t work with some film cameras, I only bought it cause I saw on their Chinese site they had a picture of it with a Rollei 35 😭😭
Yeah, it's really strange. Hopefully they will come out with a new version and address those issues.
May i ask what flash is that?

@@thomasjames7644 tnx
It's all fine till u flash someone with epilepsy
My feeling is the flash is too powerful and could be better balanced with the ambient light. Great shots though.
Less flash would introduce more motion blur. When shooting portraits you have more control but in this case it's simply not possible.
Who needs weather sealing? 😎🤘
It's totally overrated.
For that case, i use my old X-300. ;-)
lol how do you use flash on people and no one says anything, just suprised
why do you hold the flash in your hand?
On camera flash makes everything look flat and takes away any dimensionality by taking away shadows. Just taking the flash off the same axis as the lens will fix that.
Thank you Thomas for clarifying the reason! 👏
@@therealsirrobin thanks for your videos, great content.
Flash street photography wouldn't work in the US as well. People would definitely say something lol
stole the shot entirely 🤣 they definitely need to see it
