I had a really fruitful street photography outing in Toronto, but the GoPro died halfway into the day.  I think I rescued it though...

fantastic photographs - thanks for sharing !

an excellent video, thanks for sharing!

This was very good Simon! Those images looked like they were taken on film which I liked quite a lot and I guess that’s what you were aiming for too so mission accomplished 👏👏

Photographic  technology evolves and the depth of tonal range Leica Monochrom photos capture in my experience doesn’t emulate film, it kicks it up a few notches.  It’s like the monochrome sensors are infused with silver halide.  I like the added contrast with the Red filter especially in the first two portraits of men with a cigarette in their mouths.  Those shots are  classic and timeless!

Some fine images Simon,enjoyed the video,look forward to the next one!

What a collection of portraits you got there, Simon, quite impressive and  really characterful people .  Well done sir !

Some cracking shots there Simon. And a great place for it. I'm quite interested in how you do that, so I'll be looking forward to your series on settings.

I’ve got a red 25A on my yashica electro 35 GSN. Love them I’m going to get one for my Leica X 113

Nice representation of all kinds of people. good work.

Excellent video and photosI really want to do more street I am just very self conscious which seems to get in the way. Must get braver.

Great video.  Takeaway:  Red filter plus dialing up the ISO.  Red filter ordered.   Thanks!

Just dropped across your channel, randomly watching street photography videos and thoroughly enjoyed watching this video = I like your style and the video has some zip and life about it!....I really like the shots you got here, love the contrast and tonal richness, very filmic and pleasing to the eye, and I like the compositions very much. The guy you got at 1:45 is excellent, he's very cool, (with a hint of menace, lol) and looks like he just stepped straight out of the Sopranos, very cool indeed..

I love shooting B&W street too, using Fujifilm cameras mainly, and go for a similar kind of look, especially when really bright and contrasty...Pretty decent noise/ grain structure with higher ISO on Fuji's as well, i.e. natural looking, which can be very handy in low light/night street-photography situations, giving a nice analogue look.

TBH, I only use the cameras built in red/yellow/green filters, and get decent results, but have never used lens filters...mmm, don't know why, because I do use CPL and ND filters now and then, and an FLD...After watching this video, I think I'll get some decent red and yellow screw in lens filters and give them a whirl!!..There's always something great to do with photography......Liked and subscribed!

Love this!

Love the effect

Very nice indeed.

Great shots!

Nice set of photos.

yes great philosophy  excellent sage wisdom and advice, new to your channel.  maybe in my next life I will be able to afford a nice Leica Q2 monochrome but being 72 and retired with very limited income, it just isn't possible.  your shooting with the red filter feminds of my youth shooting bulk rolled Tri X so sweet !!!

Really cool film like vibe here. I must try a red filter too.
