Never miss another shot! My Street Photography go to settings! Fujifilm X100V

Never miss another shot! My Street Photography go to settings!

In this video I talk about my settings for street photography. They are not the best settings for everyone but they work perfect for the style of shooting I do - freeze the action and capture great depth of field.

Before I take a single image I always check my Fujifilm X100V is set up with my go-to settings for street photography. This means i never need to worry about my camera settings at all. Im guaranteed to get the image sharp and perfectly exposed, every time!

An old and time served principle is 'f/8 and be there'. This is how I shoot and it pretty much guarantees your images to be in focus!

Theres nothing more frustrating than returning to your computer after a street photography trip to find your images are exposed incorrectly or are out of focus. Try my go to street photography settings next time you are out and about with your camera, i bet you don't go back to auto!

Street photography in London is always a mega fun day! with amazing architecture and so many fun looking and quirky people around your guaranteed some fantastic street photography.

unlike most street photographers on YT, your pictures are superb.

Excellent manual exposure and focusing techniques. This the way I shoot but hadn’t thought of using my back button focus to quickly reset the focus distance.

Hi from Paris. Thank you so much for this one. Very useful explanations.

[rutlegs]

I've been depending on aperture priority mode for street pics but this made so much sense! Thanks very much!

Probably the best street channel on Youtube.
That’s when you’re not doing landscapes.

If you keep getting a problem with that Peak Design strap keeps coming undone then I would be looking at their Guaranteed for life policey if faulty they should repair or replace the item. I have just checked my Slide lite strap and its ok at the moment.Great blog I might try this when the weather allows. I am disabled with walking problems and arthritic joints. Take care be safe, regards.

[christoombes]

Great video and tips. The guy at 19.00 would have made an excellent stranger portrait for me! Thanks for sharing

[paulf]

Thank you Gareth, I’d mentioned in response to a previous video for a settings one. True to your word you said you would talk us through how you set up your camera for street photography. Very useful for me as a novice to know where to start. Loved the walkabout with Fabian too, nice fella funny too.

[michaelgravlund]

Thanks Danks 🙂... another great video. have been looking through your videos and find them very interesting. have subbed.
one thing I noticed about manual focusing anf the scale. do you set to pixel or film ? it is good regarding zone focusing.

[dizzywaskal]

Perfect tutorial. Now going to use this approach from now on! TY

[snitro]

Yes fare the best videos Gareth, learned a lot and I am beginning to master my X100V!! Is there a similar video for street photography (settings) at night ?

[maxbashyrov]

a bit of clarification - expose not just for the "brightest part of the scene" (newbies can take it literally and use a street light, for example), but for specular lights, then, depending on weather/time of day add 2-3 stops.
respect for ettr advice, many "pro" photographers still think it's a blasphemy (usually they also believe in "exposure triangle")...

[davewall]

Excellent vid and your tips on settings for street photography very much appreciated. Note! re- unusual light flare on previous model, I've encountered similar recently using Fuji 10-24 on XT3.

Absolutely enjoyed this video :-) Thank you :-)
