14:40 was my favorite. I'm not usually a fan of wide for portraits but this is one of those rare occurrences that work really really well. The light is just amazing.
Great stuff as usual! I’m sure you’ve thought about it but do you know what would really help, is when you share each pic you can include the settings too eg f-stop, shutter speed, iso, so we can learn not just composition but the different settings you use under different environment ☺️
Great pigeon hunt! I come from landscape photography and once I tried to shoot in the city as well. But it's such a difference. I think it's actually harder to create really interesting stuff.
Absolutely love ultrawide lenses out in the street in downtown areas. So good for architecture. Especially in the part of Chicago you're at, so many great lobbies to photograph.
Love running through the streets with a 12mm in my bag. Whenever I get bored with whatever I have on my camera that day, I can challenge myself with the ultrawide. And the lense being manual (Voigtländer) makes the process even more fun.
Would love to have seen more of a blown out background on the guy smoking. Always love your videos! They give me great inspiration to go out and make photographs!
Here’s a suggestion- with an ultra-wide lens you can get REALLY close to your subject. This doesn’t work for portraits, especially doing street photography. But you can get awesome shots where the subject absolutely dominates the shot. And everything is still in focus! Too bad about Central Camera. But they’re open again with limited hours, and stock film at reasonable prices.
I walked by you and your spouse while you were setting your orange backpack up against the Palmer House on 8/6. I wanted to to say "Hi" and share my appreciation for your videos/photography, but I'm just not the type. I'm going to sign up for your course one of these days (I use a X-T3 though). Perhaps I can follow you around during one of your shoots around the Loop. Your Africa features were great!
Pierre - an idea for your next video. Take night shots using >1s exposures and you're only allowed hand-held shots without using anything (or anyone) to stabilise the shots (tripods, resting hands on a wall, pipe etc etc etc).
How do you earn money from photography apart from TH-cam and when did you felt that you will take photography as your profession . Please tell or make a separate video on this 😎
i have 14mm and it give for me lot of new emotions just really enjoy from it !!! i think to sell it after some time and go to 20mm i need one lens for everything and portraits as well but i was not abble to sell 14mm i just like it too much and now will be need to buy 20mm as well or 24mm
I like the wide angle for street! I don't have a prime wide angle, but I have a 11-16mm I use and love it for street sometime and landscape photography
I just picked up this lens a couple of days ago. Love it! Not too wide if you know what you are shooting. This lens is for up close and personal shoots, as well as landscapes. Absolutely love this lens.
Seems like there has been a craze for Vloggers to use ultra wide lenses through their smartphones, go pros or mirrorless cameras. I’m convinced it’s hard to make compelling video or photos with focal lengths this wide. I think 18 mm would be my cut off point. I prefer 30-35 mm. It’s ironic but the 35 mm is becoming a lost focal length. I believe it’s the most versatile and effective, between that sweet spot of wide and tight. This was a great effort but also kind of shows that 14 mm is just not a good focal length.
I agree, well the 24mm 1.4 lens is the widest lens i go for, i have a 16-35mm that i never use because i feel like 16 -20 is just a bit too wide, 35mm is also a great one, but i feel like for video that the 24mm is more versatile than the 35mm
Yeah IME with this kind of ultrawide FOV, a compelling shot requires you to either shoot quite closely, shoot low, lean heavily on leading lines (so match the perspective distortion to your environment), crop, or some combination of these observations. The reflection shots he took were actually pretty neat. But ultimately I find 28-35mm to be wide enough without sacrificing reach, and it's approximately the FOV to which I'd crop in post, if I only had an ultrawide on hand or shot from the hip with one. EDIT: and of course, UWA can be very useful for indoor shots
I had a 14mm on my GAS list but I realised it's not worth it for me, as I already have a 16-35 and I really don't go beyond that 16mm often enough to justify the cost. Great for architecture though - the distortion of an UWA looks fantastic!
le peu de fois ou j'ai shooté en ville , j'ai été très embêté dans bien des cas par le manque de recul dont je disposais pour avoir le cadrage que je voulais...tout ça car ma focale était un poil trop longue. Avec un ultra grand angle je trouve que ça ouvre beaucoup de possibilités en photos de rue...pas sur que ce soit le plus compliqué. En tout cas je trouve ces photos ma foi bien réussies...bien joué !
I use my Rokinon 20mm1.8 for street photography I like 20mm on my APS-C camera as it gives me a 30mm focal length which is wide enough to get the whole street in focus
Pierre, inspiring street photography again! I think with the 14mm it is good to get very close to a foreground which then contrasts with the wide angle. Keep on rocking!
oh man i really would love to be in a city that so many things happen, rails, shops, colors, big streets, small streets, lights, signs.. it kinda sucks where i am after 5-6 roams you have nothing to take photo of, everything looks the same
I’ve always love the ultrawide lens on my phone but doesn’t hold up well when yoy try to edit it. So I’m trying to get my hands on a similar focal length, and that’s how I stumbled on you video. Thanks for this! Definitely buying an ultrawide lens now 😁
Not sure I’d use it much for other than astrophotography, but you got some great shots, quite a few actually. Better than a lot of your outings lately, IMO.
looks great. However it is so specific that for my z6ii i would better choose a wider range like Z 14-24mm F/2.8 (2700 euros) or, much cheaper, with good feedbacks, the Z 14-30mm F/4 (1200 euros). Also a great thing with these is you don't have big ball on lens and you can screw a UV protective filter,... By memory you also had nice street shoots in ultra wide angle mode of iphone 12 pro max, isn't it ? big quality difference with these alpha 1 + 14mm F/1.8 images (of course there is but lightroom+DXO can make miracles) ?
I have a 14mm f/2.8 lens but I have never used it for street shooting. A 21mm f/1.4 is the widest I have used. However, your video has inspired me to try the 14mm in the streets.
which settings did you use to have sharp people crossing street,... enough depth of field with train above the car ? F/4.5 1/500sec iso 100 and focus single point with af-on ?
Hi @Pierretlambert, after choosing to make a documentary. A product review video in public. Or just taking pictures that will be. Uploaded onto a sight like this one. Where it will be monitized. Or even not, but put out for the public to watch. Are you first required to acquire permits?
What lens would you guys recommend using a Sony camera for street photography also for portrait photography hope you guys can help me out I’m hoping to start getting into photography thanks in advance💙

Aps-c: Laowa 9mm 2.8 Zero-D. Full frame: Sigma 14mm 1.8 Art :-)
Those shots are awesome!!! Which AF mode were you using?
I don't have many lenses so with a crop 28mm yeah pretty sad
This is one of my faovrite things to watch on youtube Welcome back Pierre
APS C Fujifilm and the Artisans 8mm Fisheye
The sound of that burst mode shutter is heavenly
Killed it with the smoking dude!!! 14mm portraits baby!!
ya, wide angles are great for portriates.

I love that you put the meh photos and great photos in, shows that it take multiple trues
Great pigeon hunt! I come from landscape photography and once I tried to shoot in the city as well. But it's such a difference. I think it's actually harder to create really interesting stuff.

Les lumières avec le soleil entre les immeubles, les réflexions.. Magnifique!!! Lot of fun avec les pigeons haha!
Would love to have seen more of a blown out background on the guy smoking. Always love your videos! They give me great inspiration to go out and make photographs!
haha 12:08 "who is this crazy dude?" Love it brother. I find shooting wide in the city a challenge too but IG folks love the wide angle 🤷♂️
Steely Dan's Deacon Blues playing at the coffee shop at around 4:36 took me a little to realise where I've heard the sax solo
Here’s a suggestion- with an ultra-wide lens you can get REALLY close to your subject. This doesn’t work for portraits, especially doing street photography. But you can get awesome shots where the subject absolutely dominates the shot. And everything is still in focus!
Too bad about Central Camera. But they’re open again with limited hours, and stock film at reasonable prices.
Love when you do these POV shoots in the city! Always giving me new ideas and places to shoot! 🙌💯
Chicago is a photographer paradise. I love it there!
Lots of love from Maldives 🇲🇻❤️... You are my inspiration man 💞...
The pidgeon girl was so sweet!
this mans energy is always off the charts... i like it.
I like the status of this photographer's street shooting, full of passion and creativity, very inspiring to me, thank you!

That shot at 12:23 is ELITEEEE
Chasing those birds was worth it LOL

La notif qui fait plaisir 🤩
Merci!!

What's your opinion of Alexander Calder's sculpture at 11:28? (Behind the pigeon)
You make the best POV videos! I love when these pop up.
i have 14mm and it give for me lot of new emotions just really enjoy from it !!! i think to sell it after some time and go to 20mm i need one lens for everything and portraits as well but i was not abble to sell 14mm i just like it too much and now will be need to buy 20mm as well or 24mm

6:56 i literally felt in love with that photo

I'd say 50mm is as wide as I'd go for portrait

I love the red dress under the L photo at 3:40!
I have a Nikon 14-30 f4 and love it. One of my favorite lenses
that crazy pidgeon woman reminds me of the kind lady in that home alone in ny movie :)
love it
You are inspiring!! every time you said it's not working, those were your best shots lol !!! I wish I could do that!!!
14:40 perfect portrait bro wonderful
❤️from 🇮🇳 INDIA🙏😍
love your energy, great work!
Love these street photography videos!
Take a Pigeon shot in manual focus (3 to 5 meter range) with multi shot mode
Pierre, I'm now saving for my first camera. Thank you! You're doing amazing work! Keep up the enthusiasm.
Same
Great video, thank you. Could you please let me know what shooting equipment you have hanging on your chest when you hold the camera with both hands?
I had a 14mm on my GAS list but I realised it's not worth it for me, as I already have a 16-35 and I really don't go beyond that 16mm often enough to justify the cost.

Loved the guy smoking. Another great video bud.
That was the best crazy unboxing I’ve ever seen! 🤪
I'm more curious on what focus setting you use since it's really fast run and gun? And what apature you stay around? thanks!!
What's the focus settings you used to capture those individual pigeon shots?
めっちゃきれくて感動✨
I usually use the 85MM but I think it would be nice to sometimes to try something different
I use my Rokinon 20mm1.8 for street photography I like 20mm on my APS-C camera as it gives me a 30mm focal length which is wide enough to get the whole street in focus
Please review sigma 50-100 f1.8 .. how's the depth at different focal points and the picture quality too ..
I absolutely love my 35mm 1.4, I would love to see more content with that lense!
Pierre, inspiring street photography again! I think with the 14mm it is good to get very close to a foreground which then contrasts with the wide angle. Keep on rocking!
This guy is handling his new lens like I handle my life
I just picked up a 14mm for my RP. Mostly for nighttime and astro photography. Never thought to use if for street.
oh man i really would love to be in a city that so many things happen, rails, shops, colors, big streets, small streets, lights, signs.. it kinda sucks where i am after 5-6 roams you have nothing to take photo of, everything looks the same
Just bought a 16 mm and learned a lot from this video. Thanx! (Greetzz from The Netherlands 📸😉)
Binged watch a bunch of videos to get inspiration
Thanks for an inspiring video. I have A1 and 14GM and will definitely try this out for street photography.
Wow ! It's amazing 😍!
I’ve always love the ultrawide lens on my phone but doesn’t hold up well when yoy try to edit it. So I’m trying to get my hands on a similar focal length, and that’s how I stumbled on you video. Thanks for this! Definitely buying an ultrawide lens now 😁
The Spot at 5:00 would be awesome with an anamorphic lens
Loved the results!
bro whch app u use for editing pic is pead app or nothing 🙏😍
Can someone tell me what those red things on the bottom of the camera are called
14mm is great for super candid ninja shots
I shoot Street Photography with a 14mm lens all the time
Started with a Samyang 14mm and just recently bought a Sony 14mm GM
I'm using the 12-24 2.8 and i love it!
Great lens and i love your street photography videos :)
Not sure I’d use it much for other than astrophotography, but you got some great shots, quite a few actually. Better than a lot of your outings lately, IMO.
Can you please show the camera setting with the photos✨♥
looks great. However it is so specific that for my z6ii i would better choose a wider range like Z 14-24mm F/2.8 (2700 euros) or, much cheaper, with good feedbacks, the Z 14-30mm F/4 (1200 euros).

0:26 Professional opening technique 😂
Great video! I so want an A1 but I don’t need one. My A9 will do for now.
Same! I keep telling myself "buy more lenses, keep your A9".
Are you profile-correcting the shots on post? Or is it a zero distortion glass? Thanks!!!
I have a 14mm f/2.8 lens but I have never used it for street shooting. A 21mm f/1.4 is the widest I have used. However, your video has inspired me to try the 14mm in the streets.
Yo thanks for tips......been doing so well in my photography class cause of you man....🔥❤
Amazing! Thanks for sharing Matthew keep it up
I love it when notification appear on my screen "Congratulations! You have a new subscriber." ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i can only imagine how much of a easier time you wouldve had if the A1 had a proper flip screen, all those low angle shots wouldve been a breeze
6:44 GYAAAAAT
how do you control the light?? do you use ETTR?
which settings did you use to have sharp people crossing street,... enough depth of field with train above the car ? F/4.5 1/500sec iso 100 and focus single point with af-on ?
Salut Pierre, I bought this lens as my fun lens. And yes, indeed it is a really fun lens to use.
The dark knight city😍
bought my and im not going back! use it mainly for vlogging. Its so crisp!
hi Pierre, Could you put in the photos the speed, aperture and iso? I am learning photography and I think this would help me a lot. regards
If you’re learning photography don’t worry about copying someone’s settings, learn why they use those settings and how it exposes your image
Hi @Pierretlambert, after choosing to make a documentary. A product review video in public. Or just taking pictures that will be. Uploaded onto a sight like this one. Where it will be monitized. Or even not, but put out for the public to watch.
Are you first required to acquire permits?
Notification squad. Busy doing street photography with 24mm lens ;-).
Legend!
excelentes videos amigo! bravo!!!
The pigeon ones ✨✨😁😁😁
Ahah magnifique cette course sur les pigeons !
Wow
amazing
Very good job guys
Do you only use presets when its possible or do you make allways More?
How did you focus the Pigeons so fast? It cant be AF with this little, dynamic and fast spot?!
I don't know if the gear links on your website are working right. The "New favorite camera just for video" link sent me to the A7RIII
What lens would you guys recommend using a Sony camera for street photography also for portrait photography hope you guys can help me out I’m hoping to start getting into photography thanks in advance💙
Wonderful pictures 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wide lenses always look super cool but pictures always feel super cheesy with them so I never use em
should i get this lens or sigma 16mm as beginner ? I have sony a6000.. plz reply brother
