Great video! The only thing I am struggling with is getting my camera in vertical mode on the gimbal. For some reason it doesn’t lock on the main slider, and my camera won’t stay in place. Is there anyway to fix this?!
Could you do your autistic followers a small favour? Please, omit the music altogether. If that's too radical,just record sounds in the area and use that instead. Quietly. I went to my hospital today. I waited behind the TV, and work a bluetooth headset and listened to a podcast. I avoided the flickering and sounds of the TV.
All of these are absolutely amazing! I shoot lifestyle and people mostly and have zero experience photographing things like this, BUT i am definitely going out and trying to find architecture gems in my city 🏙️ Cheers from Sofia, Bulgaria 🤙
Looking forward to seeing the remainder of the series, a genre that has interested me but I have never do much with it, I like image No4,the Flat iron 2 .
Thanks for posting. I was initially interested in the Freewell (although you didn't mention its monopod capability); however, the iFootage is now also a contender as I appreciate its half cup head mount which is far easier to use when setting up for a pano.
I too am a fan of Peak Design products and have fitted a Capture Clip to a cheap chest harness that I bought on Amazon for £17. I modified it with a carbon fibre plate, backed by neoprene padding, that holds the Capture Clip. It holds a heavy camera and lens close against the chest and does not interfere with the straps of a rucksack. It allows one to climb, scramble, and run without the camera bouncing around and it is painless to carry a camera all day with it. Like most prototypes, it isn't beautiful but it really does work for me and it was a real game changer for me.
This is a hugely impressive and inspirational video. I am very keen on modern architecture and how it can be photographed. Thanks for sharing the what three words location information; I shall be making the most of that on my next visit to the capital. Needless to say, I have subscribed to the channel and shall work through your catalogue.
I’m very inspired by your video, Ben. I’d really enjoy seeing your how-to video on any of the images but if I had to choose just one it would be #14. Thanks!
@@catherinesoucy6911 Hi Catherine, all of the links to the videos that I have already made are in the video description. Once I have made the follow up videos to this I can add them. If that is what you mean?
Well done Louise and congrats for your work. Love all, but 4, 12 & 14 are my faves. Been following you since your Glaswegian videos and love your work. Beautiful, outstanding and thank you for sharing.
OK, I would pick Ghery 1. I have to say, that for a city that has a significant architectural feature called "The Pickle" a building called Walkie Talkie seems pretty mild.😁
This was such a helpful and visually stunning video Ben. I am truly in awe of the process and your dedication that you have to your craft. Knowing how long each of these have taken you is both impressive and humbling. Thank you, I look forward to learning in the next episode... just wow! And Scotty... I didn't realise that he gave some of the locations - I'm going to thank him myself as I too benefitted from his knowledge.
@@louisewelcomephotography It was a very long time ago that fun day in London, but man were we tired at the end of it! And I called Jim Scotty for several years until I found out his name was Jim Scott! Make sure you follow his IG account etc, his work is fantastic.
Very interesting Ben, and nicely made, thanks! Some really good-looking buildings you showed us too, thanks! I think in terms of which images to show being processed, numbers 2 and 5 appear to have the most range and complexity, but then maybe a simple one could be good to not put off beginners too? How about one easy and one complex?
@@cameralabs Thanks Gordon, there are certainly some images that were easier than others. I have my favourites, but I want to know everyone else’s. I think an easy and a difficult one is a great idea.
Amazing stuff mate, I’m heading to London for a trip next year from Australia and can’t wait to get my butt to the central business to at least get some conventional shots. Will definitely watch more of your videos to teach myself this technique! Thanks Ben!
@@MichaelJones-fu8ey Thanks Michael, and make sure you save the what3words locations for your visit. I am sure that there are some great examples of buildings in OZ that would work well edited in this style, but generally built up cities will contain more options.
Dominos and stacks are my favourites but I am bursting with lots of questions but will be patient as I’m sure you will cover then in the next couple of posts. Great video thank you 🙏
@@janh6639 This does open up a lot of questions putting so many images into one video! The answers will be coming in part 2 & 3. Hopefully they are worth the wait.
Aah, London! I'm going to start buying lottery tickets again so that (with luck) I can afford a first-class ticket on a direct flight Perth to Heathrow. What a cornucopia of stunning buildings to gladden the eye of a photographer (even an old, retired, amateur) one. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks, Ben and cheers from DownUnder 🦘 PS - My favourite Ghery 2.
@@zyban99 Too kind. The truth is I haven’t been to London with my camera for a while and I ran out of raw files to process! Plus making a video like this takes an incredible amount of time to make. More fine art videos coming soon!
Wow! How creative are you? My three favs are Ghery 2, Curvature 2 & Looking up 16, so any of these. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks Ben. Can’t wait. BTW I guess you’re using a short zoom, 70 mm?
@@christianpetersen1782 Hi Christian, on that day I was shooting with a Canon 24-105 just to keep things simple and lightweight. I would ideally shoot with a prime such as the 24mm tilt shift, but I saw a variety of buildings that day that warranted a zoom lens!
This is great, thanks Ben. I keep promising myself to try it out and have followed Joel's work for years now. I'd be happy to see the processing on any of them tbh, but walkies 1, domino and more really appeal. In particular I would like to see how to do the sky replacement with long exposure cloud streaks simulated, as this effect would make shooting in the city far more appealing than standing on the pavement with a 10 stop ND filter pointing to the sky!
@@stephenlong1251 Thanks Stephen. If you want to see what Joel has produced, then check out my ‘fine art resources video’ as that summaries his tutorials etc nicely. I would have used a long exposure filter if I had the right sky that day, and more time, but you can see that I was trying to cram too much in to one day and shooting handheld was a better option on the day. To let you in behind the scenes, when I do have to sky swap, I have a folder of long exposure skies that I have captured over the years and I pick and choose one for each image. I could probably sell them to save people time?!?
@@carlosquijano2827 Thanks Carlos, yes it has been a while. I mentioned above that I just haven’t been around many inspiring buildings recently. But don’t worry, I have a folder full of images still to edit….
Hey Ben. I like all the images and think the editing on each is magnificent. If I had to pick just one I’d pick #10 “Wilkie’s 2”. I enjoy black and white photos for many different reasons. Nice video.
Great video Ben, and I'm flattered by the beautiful words. I have to emphasize that I have learned a lot from others myself. The only thing I did is to combine everything I learned together and add my own personal ingredients to it so it looks 'new'. Thanks Ben and looking forward to seeing the rest.
@@JoelTjintjelaar Thank you! I meant everything I said, you are the true master of this genre you have created and without your teachings, none of us would have been able to creating these images.
Thanks for the shout out Ben, much appreciated. Was great to see your take on the locations I suggested to you. Really love the Redemption Roasters edit from Broadgate Circle and will need to speak to you about the Oxford location as that looked an interesting subject. Definitely agree totally about your comments about Joel, absolute master in this class. Well done again to Louise too.
Hey Scotty, thank you so very much for your generosity in sharing some of the locations - I should thank Ben too as he took me along. It is thanks to you both that I had a day that has truly influenced so many other aspects of my photography. Just thank you sir!
@@louisewelcomephotography my pleasure Louise. Ben was my pathfinder into this genre and have been totally immersed in it for nearly 6 years. Was great meeting up with him during my last trip to London
@@scotty4418 I hope that everyone else can appreciate the work that you create also Jim, EVERYONE should go and follow Jim! I have no idea when I will get around to editing the images that we captured in London, they are now in a big queue!
