    A huge city that looks quiet, clean and safe at night. Bicycles parked overnight nicely and not vandalized, decent and polite people. Where else in the world can we see that today? Japan has to be one of the last civilized countries on Earth.

    Totally agree with going to random places and getting some new shots and view things from a fresh perspective. I decided to get shinkansen tickets to Morioka on a whim last November - spent a very fruitful day taking street photos in this beautiful town in Tohoku. The people living in different towns are solving different problems with respect to building layouts and geography and it brings individuality to not just towns but to streets and alleys.

    I'm the opposite of having a project- When it's time for street photography, I grab the GRIII, head to downtown Savannah, and make random turns until I decide to park and walk around. No set rules, I let the photos take themselves when the spirit moves me.
    Of course, it's easy in Savannah: the entire downtown are is one large National Historic District, so there's always architecture, and the night life areas give me the benefit of being ~250 years old, but has the lights and signage of modern times.

    Tokyo is a one of a kind city - sadly in the (USA) city I live in - it would not be safe for night street photography (homeless and gang population make things way too dangerous in our downtown area especially with an expensive mirrorless). I love the atmosphere of these shots and will actually be traveling over to Tokyo later this year to do my own street shots! Thanks for sharing these with us!

    This idea of "The Project" is not corny at all! I sometimes struggle with wondering how all of my various interests are contributing to the whole of my life - But realizing that all of them play a different role in making up the art project that is your life is a healthy outlook and revelation, I believe. Any plans for a session out in nature anytime soon? I echo all of the appreciation for these videos, thanks for sharing!

    Hope you don’t mind me asking you this question…
    I’m currently using Nikon D500 partnered with Nikon 10-24 3.5-4.5 for the ultra-wide shots… The pictures are good as long as the lighting is excellent…
    Thinking of switching to Nikon 14-24 2.8 for a better all around photos regardless of light…
    My only concern with 14-24 is its bulbous front element that can’t be protected with any filter (using UV filter for my 10-24)…
    What say you…
    My other lenses are Nikon 24-70 & Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR2
    Just in case, I'm just a hobbyist and love to take candid shoots & scenes...

    Enjoyable post, thoughtful (if fuzzy😊) theme. Black outfit for night work - intentional? Cool alley, cooks, and steamed glass eatery shots. (Steam from cooking condenses on cool glass - more so for steam nearest cooking source.) “Project” IMO includes planned and random events that make up a lifetime. Can’t “engineer” all aspects to a given objective. Cheers!

For a totally private session that's also 3 hours and at night, we have this one: www.eyexplore.com/adventures/tokyo-photo-workshops/tokyo-omakase-street-adventure/

  • @duncanthorn6338
    @duncanthorn6338 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I noticed with a lot of your settings you have -EV settings, on some as much as -2.3 EV with auto iso. Do you set your aperture and shutter speed, and then dial in the EV until you see the exposure you want rather than accepting the auto iso the camera sets?

    • @EYExplore
      @EYExplore  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Precisely! Basically, I don't mind much what the ISO is exactly, so I prefer to use the EV set the exposure relative to the camera's meter, which is usually pretty accurate. Having said that, I do always keep an eye on the ISO and will adjust shutter/aperture accordingly to force the camera to change it. For example, if the camera sets ISO 400, I know that decrease the shutter one stop, say from 1/100 to 1/50 will cause the camera to lower the ISO by 1 stop, from 400 to 200.
      I am also picky about the 320-500 ISO range as that is where the Z9 switches between it's two native ISOs. If I am close to this range (basically around 400) then I would rather just be over it, say 640 or 800. That actually results in less noise and more dynamic range when consider editing (often lifting the shadows).
