Lots of fun to be had with a little language knowledge (if you're a geek). It's a different language, but the same once you see it: järn - iron väg - way station
Yes, it is the railway station.
It is very good that you share your thought process for making the photo. The "why" of a photo is often more interesting than the "how".
Why is before how.
The purple suitcase photo is great! I love the shutter speed and composition. The neon sign reflection is perfect the way it is, imo, and belongs just as much as the boot, the bag, and the jacket.
Thanks so much!
Flash is an asset in bad weather. It picks out bright colours and offers great abstractions from the rain, sleet and snow close to the lens. Also comet tails, especially with rear curtain flash.
Your photos with blur are great!
Thanks.
I am so glad you showed the basic processing. I have so many people that have asked me and I am going to refer them to your video for basic processing to improve a photo.
Thanks. I try to keep my editing quite basic and simple.
The Opening scene when you turn to the bike was a great low key Image itself!
Some great images there Peter. Very interesting as usual. Regarding POV, I'd prefer not, because I find them difficult to watch.Of course I'm not sure if this is something others find, but I cant watch for more than a couple of minutes,
I feel a bit same way about POV.
I LOVE shooting in bad weather! I’ve always said “bad weather makes good photos”.
Great images ; i particularly liked the ones of the station and the yellow jacket. These walkabout real time photography videos are very helpful and stimlating.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
The suitcase should be yellow instead of purple because of the Amarillo shop behind 😆
That color could have worked too.
Excellent video with some great shots captured. We need more of these types of video's, where the photography itself is the subject rather than the gear used. The colours and reflections etc are fantastic.
Thank you very much.
I always like a vignette as well.
good topic for videos
Thanks.
Nice one Peter. I am still waiting another snow in London, but it's been a few years since I last saw 'White' London.
Thanks Jimmy! I am not a big fan of winter and snow, but I have to admit that it gives some nice opportunities to photograph the changing scene. Places look so different when there is a lot of snow.
But only if it's not the wrong kind of snow Jimmy 😀
10:22 I think the Red jacket works very good here. You already have enough Yellow in the scene. The contrast between the Red jacket and Yellow lights works.
Great images Peter, and very interesting to hear about in detail! Thank you!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
I liked the one of the man in the center best. Though if it were mine, I’d have removed the light and the wires. I might have tried B&W too.
Of course you know that you can change any color into any other color in Photoshop.
I love, how you talk about ‘luck’ as a photographer. Of course, sometimes we are really lucky. I only call it luck if I didn’t go out intentionally to photograph and I capture a great shot. Another criterion is that it is shot on my mobile phone. If it’s on my Olympus, I went out with intention. I like then to say, I created an opportunity. - When I started as a landscape photographer, I was jealous of other photographers who clearly were so lucky with the weather. When I got my serious about my own photography, I realised that it wasn’t luck. I now know that even with the best planning (weather apps, PhotoPills, TPE), four out of five times the weather is just not fitting what you planned and only one out of ten times it’s truly great. However, that isn’t luck. It’s buying so many lottery tickets that eventually you have to win something. It’s probability.
What I mean is that you give lucky a change. You lan something and that opens up opportunities that you did not know there is. That is what I call to give a luck a change. Planning is the key.
This one is even tempting when I have the Leica 25mm 1.4 and the 17mm 1.2.
I love the color use in these shots. It reminds me of an outing I had in the snow last winter with some Provia slide film. I thought it would be a mess with the limited dynamic range, but I exposed for the colors, and the white was snow fell into place. If not for life issues getting in the way, I would be doing this series. Hopefully healthy by spring. Great stuff sir!
Thank you very much. Hope you have a possibility to go out and shoot in the near future!
I love what you've captured, you have a great style and ive set my om1 mk2 up like in one of your videos to shoot raw and it seems to work very well for me, thanks Peter.
Thanks! Great to hear!
An interesting video, Peter. Thanks a lot.
I found it interesting to learn why you took certain photos and why the pictures were successful in your eyes - or not. I think the motion blurs in the pedestrian zone have a nice dynamic effect and show the struggle against the weather on the one hand and the hustle and bustle of everyday life on the other.
I also like the quiet picture with the man in front of the railway station.
I'm flirting with the 20 mm lens, although I also own the 25mm/1.8 and don't use it much (which, now that I've seen your photos, I should use again more often).
Best regards, Sabine
Thanks for your comments.
Great explanation of the topic. I like how you ‘married’ weather with street. I’m thinking about seascape and weather on Saturday when I should have some time and the next storm with rain will pass over Scotland. Like in landscape, weather cannot easily stand as a subject on its own. You need a strong support act to provide context.
You are right. You need both.
Peter, your image of the three pedestrians leaning into the wind is very good! Further, your remark of using AI to isolate the subject and adjust exposure, etc was an epiphany for me. Thank you!
Thanks. Glad the editing tip was helpful!
The possibility of luck! Peter that’s fantastic! I’ve never considered it that way!
I think it is an important concept. Prepare for the luck!
“Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.”
@@TITAOSTEIN what a great quote!
Nice video Peter, very nice images. I like the use of motion blur you applied. Will try that. I am just a bit shy for street photography, always worried to interfere with the privacy of people… I will have to get over it somehow. It would be nice if you decide to do a video on this topic one day. On how to act, how to overcome the fear of interference, how to frame, how to set up the camera for spontaneous shots, how and when to freeze the motion or to use motion blur, etc. I am sure it would be helpful for many people. Just an idea, I am not insisting. Have a nice day.
Thanks. That sounds like a good idea for a video. I need to think about it. Maybe later in the spring when it gets warmer.
A comparison needs to be made of this lens and the Panasonic 20mm f1.7
I know that it could be a good "battle".
@@ForsgardPeter The only advantage I can think of for the Panasonic lens is its size and weight😊
Yes! Please do one.
I bought the 17mm f1.2 instead, not so much for the wider max stop but for the focus clutch.
Good points and a good choice.
I disagree, Peter, I think the third image is great because the lady's pink/red jacket echoes the pink of the reflection on the wet pavement. I love the image!
Thanks! There is a point. I was going for more contrast. Other wise the red kind of fits the set. All colors have red tones. Also blue would have been a good color. It would have been a transition from warmer colors to cooler colors.
Interesting photo of the OM System Lens cover !
Now where did you get that so soon lol ?
The new OM System M.Zuiko 20mm f1.4 has a lens cap with OM System text on it.
I like the beard…..and the bad weather images….📸🌈😎
Thanks.
Interesting video Peter! Greetings from Sweden. Now all of us using OMDS cameras are looking for the new WOW camera! I have not been to your site for a while and have to confess that I was a bit "shocked" to see you in a gigantic beard. I am afraid it makes you look a bit older....
Yes, I do have the beard a bit long right now.
@@ForsgardPeter
It's not a beard.
Peter's is now weather resistant.
I have been very interested in doing street photography but feel that I am not good at finding interesting subjects so this was a good tutorial.
Glad it was helpful! You should try and see how it goes.There are no specific rules what to photograph. Photograph what you see and see where it takes you.
@@ForsgardPeter 👍
👌👍👍🙏
👋🙋
The hardest thing about bad weather photo walks, are keeping the glass dry and clean 😅
It is, my glasses do not have a lens hood....
@@ForsgardPeter no hood makes it easier to wipe though. Someone should make a photo glove with optics wipe in the palm of the hand.
Any idea if there is a similar function to that AI masking tool in DxO photolab 5? Having that functionality would be quite handy.
It does have Local Adjustments which works a bit the same way. No AI masking but close. With a little bit of practise it is easy to do.
@@ForsgardPeter ahh ok, I use local adjustments but that masking tool would make it a lil easier. Thanks for letting me know.
Would you recommend the 20/1.4 over the 17/1.2 if the price is no issue?
That is a hard decision. I would most likely take the 17mm f1.2, but then it is a bit bigger and the angle of view is wider. The aperture difference is not an issue f1.2 and f.14 are almost the same.
Image quality wise i would say that 17mm f1.2 is slightly better. It is the best of the Pro primes in my opinion. The 25mm f12 was a little better than the 20mm f1.4.
