    Quick tip for those without a bus pass - The camera strap has an eyecup cover on it, clearly visible at 3:19. The eyecup on the camera body slides up and off, the rubber cover slides on, very useful for night photography too.

      Good shout, I understand your every day person not knowing this, but people who are teaching others on TH-cam should, really.

    I love street photography with motion blur! Excellent content!

    I recently realised that that little black thing hanging on your camera strap is an eye piece cover. Pop off the eye rubber and slip over the black thing on your strap to stop stray light entering. Your welcome :)

    I have watched several videos about "rear currtain sync" application. This one is best. Thanks to Doug and Adorama. Just critical question has come from
    Motasim Momin: "autofocus point?". We know that focus is problem with ND filters. Regards

    Great video Doug. I was at Tower bridge visiting my son a while back. It's a great place to shoot. Thanks for sharing.

    have you ever shot in rear curtain sync in black and white?

    Nice technique thnx for sharing.

    What do you do if the filter is so dark that your camera can't focus on a subject? I know you can remove the filter, focus the camera, set the focus to manual so that it stays focused, put the filter back on, and take the shot (which is prone to error in each shot). However, especially in situations like street photography, the subjects will always be at different distances in setups like this, so how would you do that?

    Would have loved additional examples to go with the different techniques and approaches discussed. Some good ideas to try though.

      if he were truly street he'd use a Ricoh, iPhone or fuji x100

  • @jhouse6352

    You should take all that gear around the 8 mile area of Detroit and shoot some "street photography"! Killer scarf btw. Looks extremely functional.

    Great video Doug, particularly like the dance shots.
    A question if I may, this could be answered in another video? How do you get on with being questioned/stopped why /what you are shooting when you are out shooting street, given todays climate with reference to the state of paranoia that all photography is for naughty purposes, for want of a better phrase ; ) and how do you handle it?

    • @boyangeorgiev

      Most people don't even realise it. People are so into their thoughts that they dont even see you. And in a place like London, everyones a tourist :D so no one cares

    Sir, Pleas teach us how and where use Autofocus point ?

  • @richardpcrowe
    @richardpcrowe 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A remote release would allow you to get the shot "when you want it" rather than when the 2-second delay you selected...

  • @JamesB-yp3dh
    @JamesB-yp3dh 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is that moire, or over-sharpening? This video looks like the camera incorporated focus peaking right into the recording.

  • @hamerovv
    @hamerovv 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can anyone explain to me when do we need the model release and when not? In some of the images you show there are people which we can recognize. Did you sign them on a release form or is that redundant?
    Another thing I can understand is why the rare shutter gives a different result than the front. The sensor records the light on one layer so there is no meaning for what was recorded first and what was after.

      Hi Hadas, I have two answers for you- but this is just the comments section, you gotta trust me and look further into both!
      In Australia and many other similar countries you will need a model release or written permission when you use the image of a person for a commercial purpose. Taking a photograph of a person/a photograph taken of you in a public place is legal and requires no permission or release otherwise. There is likely more to it than that and the law and definitions may be different depending on where you are in the world. Treat people with care, people!
      Rear and front curtain sync/flash- you can control both ambient exposure and flash exposure independent of each other. Flash duration, meaning the length of time that the flash is illuminating it's subject, may also a factor here. Rear curtain sync fires the flash at the end of the shutter duration instead of the beginning, the idea is that any motion blur from the ambient exposure will trail the flash exposure, rather than leading it.
      Give it a whirl! And watch this from Adorama: th-cam.com/video/1ew27hcTods/w-d-xo.html#t=610.099273

  • @wanneske1969

    Is it correct that slow (rear) sync only works for shutterspeeds slower than 1/30th of a second ?

    • @jorgepeterbarton
      @jorgepeterbarton 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      it varies based on flash. whatever mine does it only stops working around 125 or 250 or something. As in the 'flash' part will end up taking a picture of the shutter and a big black crop of your image as it rolls past.

  • @davidokine7334
    @davidokine7334 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Would have loved a longer, more detailed video. The actual photo you took with a slow shutter speed was very bad to be honest. There was no motion blur at all...

  • @gludeklis
    @gludeklis 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What was the flash mode he mentioned?

    • @aaronoverstreet1436
      @aaronoverstreet1436 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rear curtain sync. I reckon Mark Wallace had a great rear curtain sync tutorial on this channel. Give it a look up. As far as I understand it, the flash fires at then end of the exposure rather than the beginning.

    Or wait until the sun goes down, if you don't have ND filters

    Front curtain is more accurate and gives the same effect.

    • @kuantou
      @kuantou 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      agree

    • @gregorylagrange
      @gregorylagrange 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rear curtain will put streaks behind the subject if it's moving across the frame like a car.

    • @jorgepeterbarton
      @jorgepeterbarton 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      how so? In motion blur it would look like objects moving backwards.
      It will capture the instant you click it with front curtain, but depending on subject movement and style you'd generally want the sharp image to be after it's blurred motion to be accurate. That's the whole idea of rear curtain, anyways.

    Removing the $$$ 70-200 on the street, shoving in bag without the rear cover.........
    Could we have left the home with 24 mm strapped instead, needed for streets ............

      Sometimes you have too. I’m a bar shooter and the light is trite,sometimes 1 light. Fast glass and good camera maybe but it’s the red ones some blue. So it’s murder on the end result.
