Hi erwiuewurwehu,

all of my photos are spontaneous, none are posed.

I don't really "create" them.... I steal them ;) but don't tell anybody  :D

Street photography is not art, it is theft :o

You can see a lot more of my work if you click the links below, or visit one of my exhibitions.

Wow. Keep them coming. They are a real inspiration. Maybe one day you can post a tutorial of do's and don'ts for street photography....

Sadly I don't think it's something you can teach.

Everybody is born with a talent, a gift..... the lucky ones get to discover what their talent is, but others search their whole lives for what they want to do, instead of what they CAN do.

Schumacher, Pavarotti, Pelé, Mohammed Ali, and so many others were born with abilities.  None of them can or could really explain how they do it, they just know they were born to do it, and none of them could ever achieve success in another's field.

Just follow your instincts, wherever they lead.  I can't explain how, but I can share what I can do, and hopefully others will be encouraged by my photos.

Photography was my trade for about 23 years until I gave up in 1997.  I didn't intend to ever touch another camera, but about 4 or 5 years ago I wanted to see what digital was all about, so I bought a camera, and photography got me back.
I can't explain, but I can try to encourage :)

The following is one of my street favourites, but it features the finger so I'm posting only the link here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/_husky_/16117159547

It's a famous barber shop but one ironically with very poor reviews, including impolite staff (as if you can't tell from the photo). Apparently the client laughed when she told him I just photographed them through the window, and at first I couldn't tell if she really meant that gesture or if she was fooling around with me. So I went round to the front of the shop, thinking to thank them and leave them my card (I had one other, better and less-controversial pic of them) as I quite often do when I'm 'discovered' by my subject/s while streeting, but was very rudely shooed away without so much as a chance to explain what I was doing.

    • All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica). 
    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
