35mm Street Photography in Italy

Hey, isn't that the place from CS 1.6? hhh

Im surprised that you took the Sony camera with you on honeymoon/ holiday James. By your own admission, you don’t really enjoy the experience of using it. I would have expected one of your more quirky/fun cameras. Nice little video though and i do really like this style of photography 👍

The red color (shaped however) is a universal color for "stop," while the word is there for those who may be traveling

should be 35mm LENS photography. came here for some grainy delight!

amazing photos!!! The washed out black in the edit is a nice touch

Just edited James or have u used any program from the Fujifilm 🙂Really nice images

These are my two current favorites as well for walk-around urban/city photog: the 35 GM 1.4 and the 20 f/1.8 G. They're both fairly compact and light. The 35 can handle 90% of the work and crops in nicely to about a 50mm tightness without losing much resolution and then the 20 can come in and save the day for when extra wideness is required.

stop signs say stop in greece too its universal

I swear that meditating guy is Matt Heafy.

Great photos! Really like the sharpness and vibrant colors. Italy is amazing. 50mm was the common lens for old rangefinder cameras like Leica and Canon. How much editing in lightroom did you do with these photos? This Sony seems impressive. Might four years for it to become affordable. :) Cheers.

Why did you change the lens for that little courtyard shot?

What edit software did you use? The finished photos look very vibrant.

I don't know about other continents, but I have not visited a country in Europe where STOP is not STOP.

Nice To Watch a video on which the person actually takes good photos!

Nooo you use camera in rong way
I'm mobile photographer (budget phone)
I do better than you 😁
Cuse You have a DSLR ,you should take photos better

I need to now what preset that bright colorful look u have on a lot of the images in this is

How is that GoPro footage more stable than my G85???

That's so cool! ❤️

Travel photography.
It's on my bucket list

Others might have said this already, but I believe the EU standardized stop signs being the english word "stop" to some degree. Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy all have "stop" on their signs to my knowledge and more countries prob do as well.

we used to have bins everywhere, then they removed the bins and now everything is covered in trash...i know what i would prefer to photoshop out of a picture.

My family is from Elba, such a pretty place.

Nice video James. I have the 35mm 1.4 and love it. Would like to add a 50mm but can't afford the 1.2. How did you like the 50mm 2.5 G? I would like something that compact for street.
Surprised to see you selling the 20mm 1.8 G, such a great lens!

When you said "we've got a 9 month old with us, so its not much of a honeymoon!" how was the doghouse?

Always stunning images. Wonderful compositions.

STOP is 4 letters.... Si Ferma or Fermarsi is much longer

your pictures were good, considering what was on offer.... the first 2 were very high key, and some others were too. This effect was rather interesting, as it simplified the image. I guess large parts may have been blown out. Still the effect was rather pleasant. You also tried underexposing... and I think in the future I will consider exposure in a similar, more creative way. I personally think 35mm and 50mm are 2 quite different focal lengths... so I have both those primes ( though I use Fujifilm X series ) Anyway, once again, I followed and enjoyed your comments and photos.

very nice photos with 35mm! hope you can got more favored photos by your new 50gm, cheers

James
I was in Northern Italy for two weeks a great place to photograph. Much has changed since my last visit a number of years ago and I did notice the stop signs in English. I started in Milon , went to Lake Como , Cinque Terra, Venice, Florence, Piza and Luca.

35mm is now my favourite FL. I love my old Minolta 35mm f2 on my A99.
I empathise with a honeymoon and a kid. Ours was 2 years old, so even more challenging!
Because STOP in Italian is FERMARE...too wide for a road?

I enjoyed your shooting style

35mm, that’s a small street

I'm still reporting scam Popsys accounts. They are annoying pricks

Ever thought about the 35mm f1.8? I'm unsure about selling my 1.4 for years (though it's a fat sigma )

Hi, no need to hide the nice Tudor BB you got on your wrist :-) It's fits you well.

I don't know why the stop signs are in English but it seems that there are very many places all over the world that do so. I only know this because I subscribe the "Itchy Boots" channel, which if you don't know, is a Dutch woman riding her motorcycles worldwide. It seems to me that everywhere she's been, from Asia to the Middle East to Africa, stop signs are in English the vast majority of the time. However, when she got to South America and now into Mexico that seems to not be the case.

Great video - Fascinating to see you on Elba (almost went there for my honeymoon), as have always had a strong interest in the Napoleonic Era, was there much on the island that basically advertises his short stay there back in the day?

Oooo I love the 35 and 50mm lenses and use them both a lot! Difficult choices sometimes I know.

James, I love the set of images you took on Elba. I know if had taken any of these, I would be well chuffed. Keep doing what you are doing. It's awesome.

Great little walk around beautiful country

I bought the 50mm 1.2 GM last week and shot a wedding with it over the weekend. It's amazing. I'm not regretting the expense. Might be my favourite lens right now and I'm only mid cull.

Nice photos! Do you shoot at +.5 EV?

Hi James! Absolutely love your channel. You make capturing wonderful photos look so effortless. Thanks for sharing your process and knowledge.

Have you thought about adding the aperture, shutter speed and ISO as a caption on the photos? As a beginner photographer it really helps me learn. It does add a bit of extra work and could be distracting to others so understandable to leave them off. Either way, ill be looking forward to future videos :)

Love your POV vids James, they're so relaxing!
