Shooting Street Photography In Guadalajara At Night
Just one day after filming the last episode in Guadalajara at night, my friend Ricardo came all the way from Queretaro together with his son for a day of Street Photography. The city was very busy and we decided to also shoot at night and I recorded the session to share with you.
Again, I used the Leica Q2 Monochrom with a Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/4 filter because I really liked the results I was getting the other night. Before buying a monochrome camera I wasn’t a fan of using filters but since then I started to enjoy color filters and now also that pro mist one which gives the images a more vintage look.
In case you are wondering why I picked such a slow shutter speed when I shot the guy with a finger in his mouth. Well, the plan was to get some motion blur in the background with the moving cars and then suddenly the guy stuck his finger in his mouth and turned around. I have another picture with way less motion blur but I like this one more because it looks more dynamic and I don’t really mind that the photo isn’t that sharp.
Too bad that the film photos Ricardo took didn’t turn out great but he just recently got back into shooting film and that was his first time shooting at night with his film camera and I guess now he knows that manual exposure is the way to go.
