1. Love this video and the photos in it. Thanks for sharing.

2. I love it!

3. Good one this!! thanks!

4. I've been wanting to experiment with this myself, 20yrs of photography and I've hardly touched on this style/technique. Excellent video!

5. Love it ! Will definitely give it a try

6. Good job, I really liked it mainly because you reminded me that I should turn off IBS before taking photos. Thanks a lot!!!

7. Hi -I am new to your channel. I dusted of my Olympus pen F-And im looking for a lense there is good for travel photogtaphy. I looked at the Lumix 35-100 mm and the Lumix vide angle 7-14 mm. Would you recommend any of these? Best Stephanie

8. Try Shinjuku station in Tokyo… 2 million people per day in just one single train & subway station. More passengers that all German train and subway stations combined.

9. Please tell me how you get sharp photos with blurred moving objects? No matter how hard I tried, all the photos were not sharp. How to take a sharp photo at such a long shutter speed? Fujifilm XT5

10. Loved that . I’d like to see another one in rush hour . B&W works really well

11. I love ICM and do try it every now and again but mainly in nature love to try it out in streets too. It is not something you always get right the first time but that only adds to the fun and creativity love your images some fine captures.

12. Superb and so interesting.
    Thank you

13. Fun video! I've recently started as well and it's all exploration and discovery still. Great phase of the journey. Another thing to try: playing with motion as it interacts at different levels of depth. With an opened up aperture (may need ND filter) not only does bokeh show motion differently than focus, but the focal plane reacts differently depending on distance+speed. So you get to add layers of depth to the equation. Which is challenging but creates some really cool effects. A good example is walking at pace with a subject… But the static FG and static BG are both out of focus due to depth of field. You get this really cool "swimming through reality" effect. Anyway, look forward to checking out your other videos.

14. Just use an ND filter, it will help you a lot in creating motion blur

15. Somehow I missed this…really enjoyed! Glad ‘you did this’ Super, super 😊

16. 素晴らしい感動的な作品ありがとうございます、疑問ですがモーションブラー撮影はカメラの手ぶれ補正機能をOFFにしているのでしょうか？

17. When I was a teenager, I had a dream of taking up photography as a hobby with an SLR camera, but more than 40 years passed without that dream ever coming true. Recently, however, I began to wonder if it was still possible to fulfill that dream with a mirrorless camera even now.
    
    Yet, times have changed, and smartphone cameras have evolved to an astonishing degree. This immediately made me question the significance of cameras in today's world. There is certainly a joy in operating a camera, but that alone does not seem to be a sufficient reason for me to own one. As I was asking myself what kind of expression could only be achieved with a camera—something that would make photography a meaningful hobby for me—this video provided me with valuable inspiration.
    
    I look forward to learning more about photography from your other videos.

18. Very inspiring, thank you. I've only tried a few slow shutter pictures here and there.. after watching the video I'm motivated to try more. This could be a good approach for shy street photographers :).

19. Really I like your idea – I have played with it before at a circus midway – living out in the country this try of shooting is a bit more challenging – But you got me to think about it and see what I can come up with. I am thinking of a way to use in one of my longer term projects and the one that comes to mind is documenting the people and the land (farmers and the like) of where I live. Thank you for the inspiration.

20. I am completely confused how you can shoot that low shutter speeds like 1/4 of a sec from hand without the whole picture getting blurry. Do you have some sort of Digital Stabilization in your camera?

21. what about a tripod and some photo merging for some of these spots? that way you get more people in the frame

22. Cliche, yes. But what an amazing few shots on that train arrival!

23. Nr Matti – how did you achieve BW photo in Sony 4? Postproduction? My old Lumix Panasonic was better because it has BW function. RSVP.

24. I imagined this would be you trying to focus on say a train, while you panned across the scene getting the train in focus, while blurring everything else. So I was surprised at this approach, but it's all fun, and it opened up my mind to possibilities!

25. Love it!

26. Great stuff. The shot-by-shot commentary is so interesting. Thanks for taking us along.

27. ❤❤❤❤

28. Kiva video on tullu itekki testattua pidemmäl valotusajalla kuvaamista, mutta tää video inspiroi ottamaan vähän vielä pidemmillä valotusajoilla Helsingin kaduilla kuvatessa.

29. Very nice…. I like this!

30. Excellent video! Thank you for the inspiration. 🙏🏻

31. Excellent outcome, comparable with ICM

32. Excellent! Love that first black and white of the doors and people. 🙂

33. thank you for the great content! What is the reason you bump up the aperature at times?

34. As an American, it's soooo weird not to see people jumping the turnstiles in the subway and homeless people everywhere. Would love to visit Helsinki some day. Great pics and loved the voiceover explaining your thought process.

35. This is real Art!

36. Some great shots there Matti! Made me smile when hoping for a few more people in the scenes, you are in Finland after all 😂 You should come over to London 😅

37. Thank you Matti for the inspiring video 🙏👍

    Question… at about 5:43 minutes you were upstairs in the mall and there was a nice round fence along the big round hole. That was also a big pole from the construction of the building on the left.
    Maybe that could be a nice spot to wait for a subject! The leading line of the round fence, the pole for a more narrow gap…

    Or isn’t that your style of photography?

38. We hear about the story in photography, I think blurry images add some mystery to a picture.

39. I see that in each photo the three parameters change except the ISO. Are they done automatically?… Some later i saw ISO 800. It seems tat ISO is on AUTO. It is good this experience

40. Lovely work Matti
