Tokyo Long Exposure Photography Basics
We head to Shinjuku to teach you how to get a long exposure photo of traffic in the busy streets of Tokyo. We cover all of the settings that you will need to achieve this shot, and in the process you will get a better understanding of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and a few other camera details such as the histogram.
You can also learn more about how to create composite images out of photos like the ones we show in this video:
And you can recap all of these settings in more detail on our blog:
Of course, you can sign up for our workshop that covers these kinds of shots:

How to Take Better Street Photos - Work the Scene
We have a new video up for your enjoyment! We know, we know, it's been a long time coming but we finally have more online video tutorials on the way. This first video is an excerpt, so to speak, from our Streets of Tokyo street photography workshop. In this case, we learn how to 'work the scene,' which is all about going beyond the initial shot and searching for something deeper.
In this video tutorial we explain camera settings, but go beyond that by contextualizing them in the urban environment. Our goal is to explain the what, the how, and the why of the shot. We hope you'll take these ideas with you and apply them in your own street photography!

Street Photography Tips - How to Learn from a Master’s Work
In this week's video, we are trying something new. Lukasz highlight's a photo that caught his eye, this one from another photographer named David Sark. At EYExplore, we know that learning from the masters is a great way to improve one's own work. Going through the motions to reproduce an iconic shot can help you understand what that photographer was thinking, how he/she solved the challenge of the scene and ultimately got the shot. In fact, this approach to learning is exactly how we work at EYExplore: we show you our shots and then you practice, thereby walking away with some new expertise and knowledge about photography. Check out the vid for a glimpse into this approach!
