I loves street photography, but sometimes I don't have time to use the manual configuration, maybe I'm in a car and I need to take the photo quickly, that's why I don't mind using the manual mode sometimes

Hi Eren!
I like your mentality, the fact that your focus is on the process and the results and not on the gear! And we can see it if we take a look at any of your pictures.
Easily you are one of the best street photographer I know.

I get the comments regarding manual, my preference as well but when starting out photography is a mix of art and technology. You don’t have to master the technology to work on the art. I sometimes set my aperture and SS, leave the camera to work out the ISO, or set just aperture or just SS, the more time I have the more manual I go. Therefore I think the advice on using auto is inclusive for those of us still grappling with the tech.

Thank you so much for this video! Really appreciate your motivation...

Excellent video, great advice! Stunning images, very inspiring 👏🏼

[ajameslee]

Biggest thing is get out and take photos. Auto newbie or manual pro just shoot and move and have fun!

[vladimir_filipas]

Fantastic tips! I agree on all of them.

I use to shoot all in manual for so many year and missed shots due to slow pace for busy streets, but few years ago I start shooting in aperture priority and it changed my flow in a better way.

And as far as gear goes I find the best way to choose the camera and lens is the due to inspiration, something that inspires you the most to picked up is the best personal choice…even if its not logical sometimes 😁

In street photography in Germany, it is legally important to respect the personal rights of the people depicted. In principle, the right to one's own image applies, which means that people who are clearly depicted usually have to give their consent for publication. There are exceptions if people are just accessories in a scene or if they are public figures. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) considers photos of identifiable people to be personal data, which requires additional consent. It is recommended that you obtain written informed consent after taking photographs.

I’m not brand new to photography, I shot film and even had my own darkroom 10 years ago…but getting back into it now and getting familiar with the basics again on new equipment I’ve been shooting street on auto or ap priority just to get used to it again in that moment. It’s been nice to focus on the moment and I’m happy with what I’m getting. On landscapes or outdoors or single abject stuff I can focus more on Manual mode and have fun doing it then.

I like messing around with different focal lengths, I've used a 16mm prime and a 55-200mm zoom and everything in between. Especially if I go to one place multiple times, I find it forces me to look with a different perspective, and I love the compression of a long lens.

Cool video, man, keep up the good work.

[Boatzerama]

The classic Fuji 35mm f1.4. I must of bought and sold then bought again this lens, before I sold my Fuji gear. I loved it.

[jacquelinesanderson]

Hi, love your work and this video was most helpful, I hear you say about camera body and lens...I have a bridge camera, is that OK for street photography? Thanks 😊

[FunnyVideosLover]

One of the best videos on the topic. Concise and with substance. Thank you.

[iaincphotography]

Typical, you go out to do your Vid, and you've got Roaming Roman video bombing.

[mrmarzo]

Hey Eren, You've owned, tried, and reviewed a lot of cameras now. What is your main Fujifilm camera these days? And what is your number 2 or backup fujifilm camera if you had to choose?

As always keep up the amazing work.

[MacGuy]

Just found your channel and subscribed😊 How do you / photographers make money / a living doing street photography? Or can you? I’ve been a wedding and portrait photographer for 27 years and at this point I would love to just go and shoot people.

[hiteshjoshi]

So concise and cleared my all doubts, could you please let me know, what if i click at 35 mm from 28-50mm will i get the same sharpness like 35 mm prime lens

[nezbulkanal]

Another great video ! The ssue "sharpness " in your video reminded me that in one of Ara Guler's exhibition i was very surprised that some famous photos of him were not even sharp .But they impacted and still be remembered .
So i myself trying not to be obsessed with sharpness but it is hard to change :-) As it loses concentration on the composition and demotivate .

[giandeguzman]

Aperture priority + Auto ISo + Minimum Shutter Speed = best of all worlds

[josebrivera]

Aperture priority tends to choose low shutter speeds. Which is why I highly dislike it.I don’t trust it. Shutter speed is more important than aperture. I want sharp images, else why bother!
