Black and White Street Photography In Edinburgh (On a Decade Old Camera)

In this POV video I shoot black and white street photography in Edinburgh during Christmas season when the streets are busy and vibrant with tourists and festivities. I show which scenes catch my eye and how I shoot them using my decade old Sony RX1R full frame camera.

I love shooting busy places like Edinburgh, especially around the Royal Mile and on Princes Street during festive times like Edinburgh, New Year and the Fringe Festival. There's always so much to see and capture and I love feeling immersed in everything with my camera.

I found that the way you filmed this, with the camera and back screen always in view, made it a lot more engaging to watch the video (compared to other street pov videos) Also very nice photos!

IT'S NOT A RIG -- hey folks, just to answer some questions on the ball head setup shown here, this is just a bracket I used to allow me to film the camera while out and about. It's not a rig or a stabiliser and sadly offered nothing beneficial to my shooting. I was effectively just hand holding the camera, so please don't think you need any extra gear for these sorts of shots. Just a camera and a steady hand!

Love it very much, the sounds of the street making the photo's speak for themselves. I think this is the best street photography film I have ever seen. Thank you.

Thank you for showing your amazing work while also showing that you can shoot great photos with older less expensive cameras as well.

Simply stunning, street photography with street sounds at it's best, well worth a second look.

Nice video and set of images one of my favourites was the three dogs waiting the front one looked very board 🤣 Nice set up for the POV

[jakoat]

A must watch for those who aspire to very good street photography.

Great stuff. I often find when I start on a street photography day out, it takes me a while to 'see' potential photos, to get my eye in. Edinburgh is a joy for street though :-)

[davidgeorge]

I have some great pictures of the piper in the green waist coat too, he must be one of the most photographed people in Edinburgh...😂👍

[wongkenneth]

Wow! such a wonderful black and white photos. B/W gives a different feelings. Look at the photos the tonal range is perfect, do you do much editing?

[frantisekvojtek]

Wonderful photography, greetings from Prague 🙂

[RodneyGracia]

Not a fan of POV stuff, drives me bonkers, but somehow this was 100 times more interesting that most I've seen in the last 3 years.

[darenaubiephotography]

What? You don't need the latest greatest most expensive gear to make great images and have a great day? Youtube has been lieing to me 🤣. Great video, looks like you had a great day. And just for the record, I think the cop was in trouble, not the two girls LOL

[bennielaars]

Great video. I would love to do more street photography but I have a combination of too little talent and too much shyness.
Your video encourage me as it almost seems like you’re invisible or the people don’t feel threatened by your funny little camera (not realizing what a beast it is).
