Those filters look cool! I have a couple of Urth lens adapters and I’m really happy with them. For winter photography I got a cheap pair of cycling gloves on Amazon from a brand called Ozero that are thin enough that I can mostly still control my camera, they have a little conductive fabric on the index finger for touch screen use, and they’re waterproof. They definitely make winter photography more bearable!
You nailed it! That’s why I’m so addicted to shooting at night. Great video.
Great work Faizal, as always. Also, congratulations on your move to NY. You deserve every success. It’s been great watching the channel grow. Keep going, don’t give up and all 223k of us will continue to watch. Have an epic 2024.
I love how you played with blur and shapes. Even more so, stopping down to F8? Wow.
Awesome video again man! Love seeing your mindset and your pics. If you posted an unedited vid of a shooting session I’d watch the whole thing, it’s so relaxing!
This guy: FranceWheeler – rides a powered wheel through Paris. He shoots video with what looks like an Osmo Pocket 3 mounted up above his shoulder on some kind of harness/rig. He doesn’t say what gear he uses but I noticed a shadow in one of his two most recent videos. Very smooth imagery – video POV higher than a bicycle and just above car roofs.
Gotta get the gloves on bro! Keep those paws warm! Great stuff!
Moody! The music goes so well with the visuals.
Hey man, great video! And if you don’t mind sharing, what’s the lens hood that you have on there?
I love that expression “Honeymoon Phase”… lol.. but never hold back. You’re an amazing photographer, way above average! Are New Yorkers your main audience? I’m a random guy in a small town in Canada, and I’ve been following your channel for years. You inspire me, and for sure countless others. Never apologize. Go for it! You’re a true artist. There’s no such thing as cliche, except to intellectuals.
Wow! What an incredible video! The music and atmosphere are absolutely mesmerizing. I’m curious, could you share the photometry and exposure dial settings you used?
F2 is really fast lens. I like the cyberpunk ambience on some pictures and the music selection collaborate with this
Hey, what’s the lens hood you are using on the 50mm ?
F2 is fast
Great video! I also believe that photographers use a faster lens to shoot at night without having to increase their ISO. Resulting a noisy image which some people don’t like. But who cares.
Faizal, f/2.8 is a fast lens. That’s why it the constant max for the fastest zooms. The f/2 on the X100V is super-fast.
Let’s see what you can do at f/4
Would you do a video on your setup for your GR like you did for your x100v.
love this stuff man, you should shoot at night more often. I think it suits your contrasty edit style well.
I really enjoyed this. I thought the accompanying music gave the film a sense of slight trepidation that shooting at night always seems to give me
I have some F1.4 even F0.95 lenses, but they are quite dim wide open, so it’s rare that I can take nice and sharp photos at that aperture. I also prefer to use them F2 and up. Also keep in mind that Fujifilm focuses on the nose instead of the eyes lol 😀 so if you take a head shot @1.4, the eyes are already gonna be blur.
I would like to add tho, that F2, F2.8 are still fast lenses. What you’re trying to show on this video should make sense if you shoot F4 or F5.6. Those are apertures of cheap kit lenses.
