I am greatly enjoying y'all's wonderful channel! Thanks for sharing!

For me, when I purchased the Leica Apo 35 Summicron it was a religious revelation. Outrageous price but wonderful results. Had the close focus Summilux version before and never liked it greatly. Found an Apo sat on a dealer shelf and a deal was done. Don’t miss the f1.4 at all on an M11-P and it produces amazing quality.

As someone who just started doing street photography, this was a very interesting and informative video. Thank you

Had to shoot from hip while careening through Dhaka in a rickshaw. One hanging on for dear life, other holding a D750 with strap wound around arm

Why does everything in Britain look so depressing??? At least in this video

What shutterspeed you using while zone focusing?

Interesting that I stumble over your video just tonight, after having a photo walk down town when I tried for the first time to shoot photos with my right arm and the camera dangling at my side, so shooting in a right angle while walking by. At the moment I'm using a Sony Alpha 7 with a battery grip attached. Together with that vintage Carl Zeiss Jena 4 / 20 mm it was not at all the right equipment to keep a low visual profile while shooting, but I wanted to check it out. First views on the camera display look quite promising.

Awesome I love the look on the 50, what metering mode do you use ?

Another great video Jeff!

Nicely done…low key style is appreciated. What 50mm lens do you prefer? My love of and addiction to the 24-70mm has been locked down, but I’m now suddenly shopping for a great 50mm.

Pro or not your video is fantastic. Great instruction on how to approach this technique. Well done.

5:38 I prefer the first one because of how the veil covers her and forms an interesting shape

I feel a lot of "in camera" composition comes from training your eye and gaining a "feel" for the composition technique. When you are cropping your photos in post, you can always make your photo "fit" a composition and this ultimate helps you train your eye and gain that feel...but as many photographers will tell you, "you can'y polish a turd". Ultimately, as you gain more experience, you'll be able to crop more in camera and less in post.

Love this video! Thank you for inviting us into your bird's eye view! I really liked your book reviews...what happened to them? Would you ever consider doing more of them on you tube? I really loved the best books about street photography and the ones you had on your site. Please do more! LOL

Nice - how did you set up focus?

Anyone saying "don't do this" is a crybaby ass gatekeeping hipster. Photography is about what's in the frame not what you do outside of it. Thanks for this video. I never really thought about shooting from the hip. I have the Fujfilm XT3 with the tilt screen so shooting from the hip will be very doable.

Shooting from the hip is probably one of my favorite techniques with point and shoot cameras. Glad to see more folks bein' re-introduced to this technique through you.

I’ve recently pick up an older film camera and I have to say it is a weight off my shoulders getting my face out of the back screen of my Sony a6700. It’s helped me slow down and stay more focused on just getting the shot and move on to the next.

👍🇨🇴

Toujours aussi magnifique et remarquable ❤

Great video, thank you!

Been shooting this way since the TTartisan 25mm f2 came out. “Shooting from the hip” just gives me a broader ability to take the shot I want. Sure, I can’t frame it perfectly, but having used the lens for a year I KNOW where the lens is aiming at. I zone focus a lot too so that helps!

Jeff always enjoy your videos, could you take us over your images selection and explain why you like them as street images?

Thank you!!

This, like all your videos I’ve seen so far, is so amazingly helpful and wonderful! It’s so positive and affirming. It’s just magnificent and I really appreciate them. Too many times I’d see videos and would just want to give up. With y’all, it’s just the opposite. I feel more enthusiastic to pull out the camera that has been sitting idle for far too long.

First time seen your channel really enjoyed I’m heading out in Blackpool and st Anne’s tomorrow going to give it try and even just take one lens many thanks phil

Lovely shots. What f stop are most of these shot at?

I will never „chimp“ again,…promised. 😅

Nice 📷👍

"Dom Key"

The pictures that this guy is showing in the examples are complete trash and utterly uninspiring. I am surprised that people listen to him.

Thank you.

Love the shot at 6:04

Great tips. Thank you

The 50 is actually a very difficult focal length to master. Great photographs.

I just got myself the original M Monochrom. I was wondering if you shoot in manual or aperture priority mode? Also, how are you metering? I have been metering under to where I have the arrow and the dot just appears. Seems to give me the most consistent results. As far as focal length, I am about 50/50 between the 35mm and 50mm on my M11, M9M, and M5. My focal length choice usually falls upon two factors -- where I am shooting and my mood. Always love your vids!

I'm *just* getting a 17-70mm lens and haven't taken it out yet. Around 4:30, you mention having to see things from further back. THAT was a key detail. Worth the whole video.

Great video! I haven’t done a lot of street photography in the last few years, as I haven’t been close to a city to do the work. But several years ago I lived in San Francisco, which is an ideal city to do this kind of work. My technique was very similar, walking through the city and moving towards the action rather than wait for people to come to me. After a while , you can develop lighting reflexes and capture things that only come together for a fraction of a second. Again, great video and great work!

The guvnor. Always great! Get in!

Great video. Love the 50mm look. My most used lens. If crowds too dense, use reluctantly, the 35mm. Bravo.

⁠I’ve just stumbled across this video (thank you algorithm). Have liked and subscribed. I really appreciated both your style and the practicality of your advice, and also loved your work (will seek out more). I’m not confident or competent from the hip. Actually, I’m still working on my equivalent of your earlier, more static style, and enjoying that. But really interesting tips, and will be trying again with more consistent-depth field-focusing. For me, the key attraction to this technique is wrt your comment about being non-confrontational. I don’t like pointing a camera at people going about their private lives. I do like the art that can result. Squaring that circle in an authentic and considered way is really interesting.

Photographing people in public can be a big challenge for some photographers and there's no right or wrong method. The only thing that matters is enjoying what you do and ofcourse, the final image. Shooting from the hip is a great technique that with practice can be just as precise as if you look through the viewfinder. Great video.

A few good ones!

Wonderful images as always... I embarked on a project that started on the 1st of June to only shoot with the M10 & CV 50mm/1.5 Nokton II. If this goes as well as I think it will I may extend that to a year with 1 camera, 1 lens... I'll have to wait and see...

Sensational photography. Love the girl surrounded by the her brothers/family and the three girls and the mural. I noticed you mentioned that shooting into the sun simplified scenes. I always thought if you have the sun behind it would illuminate and bring out features in your subject/faces more?

A couple months ago I was visiting a bookstore with my son and DiL. It was an interesting palce and I decided to carry the X100V at my side and surreptitiously capture other customers in the place. I came away with a few nice captures. I've been shooting the X100V so much that it will take an adjustment to take out the X-E4 with a 35mm lens on it and make it work. Ha! Nice work.

You've got some good ones there, the one with the three women in the shade and the mural was my favourite.

I like the 50mm lens( I love the 50-55-60 range of macro lenses more). Really good video. A couple shots could be considered for a future photo book.

💯

Some really nice captures there Jeff. Zone focusing with the 50mm particularly well handled and judged. What happened to the film Leica? I thought you were moving back to film only. I have a missed a few videos, so I maybe you addressed this. I’ve just purchased a Yashica Electro 35 to get back into film a bit more.
