Great video, as someone very much still on my photography journey and still getting to grips with all the elements of exposure i often choose to shoot in one of the sei manual modes – as do fully experienced pro photographers – especially street photographers. I think street and travel photography the semi manual modes really come into their own especially in a fast paced environment, where you may loose the shot if you are hung up on getting everything set in manual. I shoot on canon so often use the FV mode – you can choose full manual control or full auto and anything in between and swiftly adjust each or one setting. A brilliant mode for street and travel/documentary styles as you don’t have to move to different modes, you essentially have all modes on one screen and setting.
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!
Thanks Erin, so refreshing to see someone brave enough to suggest full auto. Your images are inspiring and speak for themselves so thanks for not focusing on gear and settings. Respect!!
Just came across your channel this morning. Pleasant surprise. I’m new to FUJi so scouting thise channels Fuji centric. Eren you communicate so well the message you intend to relay. I also really enjoyed your Edinburgh video. I’m from Chicago and now living in Japan. Edinburgh has the grittiness of Chicago. Character! Thanks … you’re a great YouTube Channel.
just saw your videos, and I already learned a lot. Great channel ! I have a Nikon 28-300mm lens f3.5. When I go out and shoot, should I keep it to one focal length or should I change it according to the situation? Thanks for the tip, love the videos.
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
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.
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 .
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 😁
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.
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?
Always keeping it real Eren, much appreciated! Excellent tips all around. I also love the open minded approach you have to the process, not taking a purist approach with settings and that. The last tip says it all, great way to wrap up such solid advice!
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.

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

Thank you !
What lens do you recommend for street photography with moving subjects? Currently working with a canon 18-55mm kit lens 🙂
You just answered my questions about street photography. Thanks a lot. Keep making these!

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.
How do you post process ? Presets ? Can you please share few…

Cool video, man, keep up the good work.
Well put and to the point. Thank you
Great tips. Thanks 🙂
Yo, Tips are amazing. Definitely have me some confidence
brilliant video Eren and excellent advise – refreshing to hear focusing on the story and not the settings. Love your content.
This the only video i have watched that has actual tips, most videos are technical info about things we all already know from watching other videos

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