Thanks Wes, I think I'll be doing this a lot more in my street videos. Maybe the breakdown and behind the scene thoughts are more interesting for viewers that I realised.
Efrain here from San Diego, CA. I just wanted to say that I love your channel and your skills. Also how you explain things. I can honestly say I have learned new things from you. Thank you for the knowledge and inspiration.
As a fellow photographer (who has just got his own Q2 less than a month ago), I feel genuinely shocked how the photographer 20 seconds into the video took such a close portrait of a random stranger on the street. One of the biggest challenges I have met was that I feel very uncomfortable and quite offensive to be so close to a stranger on the street taking photos of them without their consent... Seeing this is honestly feeling like reassurance that maybe my concerns are far from being necessary... Long ways to go to master the 28mm...
0:19 I don’t find it respectful of the person in any way. I wouldn’t want to be photographed like that! If this is supposed to be your kind of street photography, then „no thanks!“
I think that's a perfectly valid way to feel. This part of street photography is a very grey area imo, there's definitely ways to get close to people without coming across as creepy or invading their personal space, unfortunately some street shooters don't understand that and think they can just stick a camera into people's faces(not saying that's the case in this video). For me street photography is about documenting everyday life without artificially changing the scene with your presence
Everyone has a different approach, this is what essentially enables people to get different photos. Every situation is unique, so there isn't a definitive guide on this but it all boils down to you as an individual and ultimately how much you want to get the shot. I know of many photographers who seriously push the boundaries. Whatever floats your boat haha.
The IBIS is significant 40 mp is significant in being able to crop The auto focus is significantly improved for those that use tracking and eye auto focus The video features are a significant upgrade also Is it a MUST upgrade for those with the V.. nah you’ve been fine without then you should be ok still but it is a significantly better tool.
Very poor has to be said! Lack of originality trying to be inspired by masters of the past willl only get you in trouble if you do not put your own spin on things, and the camera is far better than you are! Stop being a photographer for everyone else and focus on yourself. This is the problem of new age ‘’Street photographers’’. Sorry Mike but you are good at editing (well same old hipster music)
Of course, it's your job to have an opinion on political matters you may agree with or not. After the American Supreme Court made their ruling on abortions and states rights to decide on the matter, I decided to photograph a protest on it. I didn't agree on anything from the pro abortion people, but I still did my best to take fair photos to reflect what they believed.
@Mike Chudley it's your channel. Obviously, you can do as you please, but if you're going to cover political events in a video, it always seems disingenuous when street photographers act like they are above it all and don't share what they are feeling in the moment. It's photography covering politics after all. Still enjoyed it though.
Great stuff Mike. I really appreciate that you take the time to explain (and sometimes chase) your compositions for the rest of us to see.
Great stuff Mike! The shot of the guy sitting at the post and everyone pointing is a great shot! Love your work.
Excellent video as always man! Love the explanations you gave for some photos and your thought process behind them, cheers!

Been starting to get out now it's spring, looking at where you are going must be literally passing each other like ships in the night, great stuff man
Amazing job, like always dude, congrats. Nice inspiration for me!
Love to hear it, thank you!
Great vlog! You’re videos are inspiring to get out there 👍🏻
5:05 brilliant
Since shooting this photo I think I like it more and more! Thanks for the watching!
Great job mate, was fun watching.
Thanks Oliver, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, Mike. I was there earlier this month. I see they recently changed the graphic on the corner of Sackville.
Thanks Tom, appreciate that. The billboard on Sackville street is always a treat.
Hello💕 I recently moved to London. Where do you develop the film? Can you recommend photolabs? And thanks for the video🙏🏻

Confidence is key.... Don't look, sound or act like you up to no good then most people won't mind it.
In some country, it is definately illegal.

Really liking those skin tones
Leica colours + my presets ey? :) haha
@@MikeChudley indeed 🙌
Love your vibes always man! What mic you using for the voiceovers?
Thanks man, appreciate that! Just a simple job wave pod.
Great video! Would love to see the images your friend made with his M6, too.
Kenny? Definitely check out his Instagram! He also has a few POV videos on TH-cam.
lovely underground descent shots
Yeah I had fun with those - the great light helped me out.
the celebrating girls sang a song in Spanish that says "all day the sun rises chipiron" Ironic being in London hahaha
Our people in Pakistan wait for Winters to go out for street photography, or say morning photography. :)
The IBIS is significant
40 mp is significant in being able to crop

The video features are a significant upgrade also
Is it a MUST upgrade for those with the V.. nah you’ve been fine without then you should be ok still but it is a significantly better tool.
I’m tempted to get the Leica, the only thing that worries me is damaging such an expensive camer
Yooooo... I've have Reclaim The Street on preorder from a certain huge corporation and it says it's due to be released on April 6. You lucky devil!
I've cancelled from the mega-rich corp and ordered elsewhere. I found copies in stock on other retailers' websites.
I thought I was lucky finding it available to buy.
3:39 wow really lol.
Good video.
Why are your photos so boring?
Great video….
Thank you!

Second comment

Impressively quick Max.
Just a personal thing but a lot of your photos look washed out. Maybe it is look you are after? Video content has better colours for me.
Of course, it's your job to have an opinion on political matters you may agree with or not.

Of course I have an opinion but I don’t want to share it on my channel, this is about photography, not politics.
