Octavian - I’m a fan. I appreciate your eye for composition. Any thoughts on the difference you find in shooting a Q2 vs. Q2M? While the images in this video are great I don’t see much difference in dynamic range or contrast than from the Q2.
What a beautiful surprise this snow was. Not everybody was happy about it, of course, but it made for some very cool shots. Is seems that the Monochrom suits you very well. Great work, my friend👏👏👏❄️
Thank you Alexandru :) Indeed a surprise :) apparently the last time we had this amount of snow was 11 years agot :) I love the Monchrom so far and can't wait to hear your thoughts about the shots in Athens ! Multumesc :)
heheh thanks a lot ! :) I am from Romania and when I was a kid every winter was full of snow so I got my share of snow :) but it is not snowing anymore like back in the days :( Thanks for watching ! :)
Thanks a lot! I fully agree with you regarding the snow. This kind of snow (when it doesn't melt instantly) it's so rare in Belgium :) Glad you liked it ! :)
I like it a lot! Snow gives perfect black and white conditions. Did you do a lot of post-processing considered the raw files tend to have not so much contrast as I read in many reviews?
Glad you liked it Luuk ! I did give it a bit of contrast push indeed, increased the blacks, deepen the shadows, boosted the whites added a vignette and that's all :)
Kia ora Octavian from NZ😁 Love the vid. #5 rocks for me. #18 almost got away haha. Personally I like the mix of background sound and soundtrack. Wish I'd done it more on mine haha. Did you recently switch from the Q2 to Q2M? How you finding that? All the best and keep up the great work 👍📷
Kia Ora from grey and dull Brussels :) Phil. Thanks for watching and I am glad you liked the music and the background sounds. I was afraid it is too busy. I did recently switched to Q2M and I simply love it :) Let me know what you think about the shots from the video in Athens, I feel like I am getting better at shooting only BW :). Cheers !
Short but sweet, Octavian. Animated text effects work well, IMO. Big of you to brave the snow and endure challenges of wet gear, cold batteries, exposures for snow that don’t look grey, and slippery going. Kudos for meeting the challenges - don’t see many snow street photography posts. Favs are 5 (chasing fellow photographer, 6, 9, and 18 (folks coping), and 11 (perspective). How much exposure compensation did you use to render white snow accurately? Noticed you did not wear gloves - ever try one of those “made for photographer” models with finger cut-outs? Hope you went for a hot beverage after the session😊. Cheers!
Oh :) well ... snowing like this is very rare as well in Brussels. The last snow like this one was 11 years ago :) Probably next one will be in 20 years hehe
Wonderful street photography,
Thanks!
I like your pictures 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot ! :)
Q2M is excellent for snowy conditions! Keep on the good work!
I fully agree wit you regarding the Q2M. Thanks a lot ! :)
Давно не было таких роликов! Когда фотография, фоном музыка и никакой болтовни. То, что надо.
I am glad you liked this type of video :) Short and direct :) I will probably do some more like that :)
capo!! really cool your shots!! thanks!
Glad you like them! Thanks a lot ! :)
2 is so good! Cheers!
Thanks a lot ! :)

Un grand merci Philippe ! :)

Thanks a lot Tim. My favourites as well :)

Very enjoyable short film and I love the pictures-thanks for sharing t😎✌️
Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks a lot ! :)
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for watching Christopher :)
Number 5 - fabulous!
Thanks a lot ! :)
I like them all!!😊
Thanks Miguel :)
Great 👍
Шикарное вИдение "решающего момента"👍Браво, Мастеру👏🤝
Thanks a lot Alexander ! :) Glad you enjoyed it !
Nice pictures. I like the simplicity in making the pictures, while the result is so stunning!
What focal length are you using?
Very beautiful photography
Many thanks Alex ! :)

I'm sure they will be great
Wonderful series my friend. The Q2M suits you well
Gracias Dan ! À bientôt sur Liège peut être 😛
@@OctavianCarare avec grand plaisir pour une battle Q2M :)
That's a great set. Very different for you. Lovely tonal quality. My favourites 5, 11, 15.
Thank you Geoff ! I am glad you liked it ! :) Maybe it's the camera that makes me shoot different (dunno if in a good way or a bad way) :)
All are very nice, but no. 19 gave me this warm feeling. I think a monochrome camera is just perfect for street shooting in snow.
Thanks :) I kind a agree with you. Snow and rain looks better in BW, dunno why :)
Very nice - number 5 is my favorite.
Thanks a lot ! :) Glad you enjoyed it !
You're enjoying your new camera. Great shots. Was the exposure compensation setting on picture 2 deliberate? 5 & 20 are my favourite pictures. Nice!
Thanks a lot ! :) I love the Q2M so far :). Yes, the exposure compensation was intended :). Thanks for watching ! :)
Great set. I like number 18.
Thanks a lot ! :)
Love this pov much I never experienced snow in my life 😞 also kudos to assist the gentleman that fell in snow..great video sir
heheh thanks a lot ! :) I am from Romania and when I was a kid every winter was full of snow so I got my share of snow :) but it is not snowing anymore like back in the days :( Thanks for watching ! :)
Great work Octavian 👍🏼. The snow gives street photography a completely different atmosphere. Very interesting!
Did you shoot on auto or manual because of the cold hands?
Thanks a lot! I fully agree with you regarding the snow. This kind of snow (when it doesn't melt instantly) it's so rare in Belgium :) Glad you liked it ! :)
I only used AF :)
Now this is street photography
Thanks a lot mate !
Great shots. Every picture is amazing. Do waffles taste better in monochrome?
Thanks ! :) Appreciate it ! I did not have a waffle for ... ages now :) It is probably time to change that :)
I like it a lot! Snow gives perfect black and white conditions. Did you do a lot of post-processing considered the raw files tend to have not so much contrast as I read in many reviews?

It ended..... and i went..... Nooooooooooooooooo.
I was loving it too much.
😎📷👋
Well, there is a new video coming soon from Athens, a longer one this time with loooots of shots :) I hope you will enjoy that one :D
Fantastic pictures! What are your typical camera settings in this cloudy snowy weather?
Thanks a lot Darius :) I used a high ISO - 1600, a fast shutter speed and f 9- f 11 but also f2 or 1.7 for different shots.
Thanks! Take care!

Great shots! May I ask if you have used the zone fosusing for this session? Thank you.
Thank Diego ! I used AF for all the pictures:)
Thank you! So, I have to practice more with it!🙂
Short perhaps but still fun to watch. 😊
Thanks 🙏 Christian! Glad you enjoyed it!

Un grand merci !
Zone focusing la plupart du temps ou AFS champ ?
AF single shot toutes les photos :D
My q2m never saw a snow day 😢, specially living in Uae 😅
Oh :) well ... snowing like this is very rare as well in Brussels. The last snow like this one was 11 years ago :) Probably next one will be in 20 years hehe
I would have liked to watch this but I can’t stand the POV approach. Who wants to see your camera? I want to see the shots.
The shots are in the video ! Or instagram :) just don’t watch it 😬
