I haven't done a POV for a while. This one was a little different as I wasn't with Sarah, but my mate Gary Lashmar. Gary's channel is    / @lashmar  

Throughout the video I talk about my techniques and thought processes to give you an insight into how I work on the street.

  • Thanks for the overall walking commentary and explanation of how you “look” while on the streets. Some really wonderful images too ! I like the effect from the 50mm. Well done !
  • @LASHMAR
    You blitzed it. Some wonderful frames most of which I had no idea you was spotting as we walked. Photography is seeing rather than looking and how you see is fascinating. Great video too mate love the commentary into the frames.
  • 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!
  • @silverfoils
    Nice work Jeff. I really appreciate this kind of video. Thank you : )
  • Thanks for the interesting perspectives, very valuable. I didn’t know that you were a mate of Gary’s… I very much enjoy yours and his channel. Greetings from Australia.
  • Really enjoyed the video! Love your happy accident shots, they add such a unique touch to your work
  • 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
  • @ajdhill
    It was interesting to see how you went about your shoot, it's given me a few ideas. I shoot in Manchester most Saturdays and always find something interesting to take.
  • @sdhute
    Loved that photo with that guy with the star next to him. You’re inspiring me to get out and shoot more film. Developing and waiting to see the results is always exciting to me.
  • @karlyabasa
    Excellent stuff. I work on St Peter’s Sq and I regularly have a lunch time ramble with my camera, usually with a 28mm. This has inspired me to use the 50mm a bit more. 👍
  • @nunonvs
    Thank you for the comments while making those shots, was nice to have a perspective of how you approach each moment. Time to go and practice as well ;)
  • @shystreetsnaps
    Enjoyed the commentary very much. Interesting that you were out with Gary. I enjoy both your channels and I'm looking forward to seeing his take on the same day as his mantra tends to be making things happen rather than waiting for things to happen. Personally I enjoy a bit of both :-)
  • @TheMeylaerts
    Loved the video, have the same issues trying to move from 35 to 50mm. Difficult to think different when moving to 50, especially with distance. Thnxx for sharing.
  • Very clever and well done. Would like to know your focus strategy and settings in general - great pics
  • I love these povs; great shots and explanations. I was just wondering though, do you say anything once a person makes eye contact or just keep walking? I feel like I'd have to say something to reassure them.
