I’ve been a surfer my whole life (went to Waialua high in 1985) and started shooting surf photography from land about 8 years ago. You guys in the water are beast. I just bought a Fuji xh2 for general photography but would like to shoot some surf. Is the 200-600 lens the way to go for the most part? How well does the af work compared to my old Nikons and Canon dslr’s? I’ve heard mixed feelings about Fuji autofocus but mostly on things like birds in flight which obviously are way faster than surfers. I’m looking at that lens or the 100-400 which do you think will do best for af? Thanks in advance cheers mate..
If only Net 10 didn't time shift the episode, we wouldn't have missed it, but, they slid it back to a new time slot, and, it is missed. Are they going to re-run it some time? At the assigned time slot? Or, maybe it will get posted here sometime? Great series guys, keep doing it.
Thanks Matti, Channel Ten don’t even let us know when they re run it so I’m not sure. All the series will end up on RU-vid when we are out of contract. Thanks for watching!
Great video - thanks a lot. I've done this myself in the past, but I didn't pan just played with the motion effect alone while driving by. The panning adds this nice "twirl" which I really like. I will try this. What focal length did you primarily use for the images we see in the video?
Thanks for the video. I gave this a try yesterday. We went for a drive with my wife driving. Try as I might I could not get anything like what you've done. EVERYTHING was blurry or out of focus. I have a Canon R6. I tried various modes including single shot and AI Servo, different shutter speeds, from 1/60tth down to 1/4 of a second. Could you please share your equipment and its settings? I might be doing something totally wrong. Oh, we tried at various speeds, traffic depending, from 60 km/h to 100 km/h with no real improvements throughout that range. On Thursday we're heading from Sydney to Perth on what's called the Indian Pacific Railway, a 4 day train trip. I'll get plenty of opportunities to practise ICM.
Thanks for your message. Julianne was using a canon 5D mark 4 with a 24-70 lens. Continuous spot focus and her shutter speed was dependent on the distance and the speed of the vehicle. Perhaps you could try a faster shutter speed to start and then work your way slower. I think it takes a lot of practice as you have to track the object pretty accurately to get these results. Sounds like you will get plenty of practice on the train. All the best! Tim
Being and ex professional, now my main hobby. I have to ask this question, how much do these outings cost as a pensioner it may be something of a dream to attend one?
Nice photos of a beautiful location. I'm still using LR6! I think someone said I can download a copy of LR6 on to a flash drive in case I need to reload it because Adobe is cutting support for it. T/F? Thanks for any replies. Anothe rquestion. When you crank up the shadows even at ISO 800, you don't get any noise or mess up the fine detail? Didn't look like it on my screen. Curious?
Thanks for your comment. It truly is a beautiful location. Julieanne gave me this link to share with you. helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/lightroom-6-end-of-support.html As for the ISO question. Depending on the camera system you use ISO800 should give you minimal noise even when lifting shadows. There are some great denoise applications around too if you really want to push it higher. The new version of Lightroom has a great denoise feature and I also use Topaz Photo AI at times.
@@SnapHappy Thank you for the reply & LR link. Yup, some of the newer cameras are getting better with the higher ISO’s but I try not to use them with landscape type photos. I will lift shadows but not as much as seen by some pros in their videos. Higher ISO & heavy noise reduction usually only for Wildlife photos. Even then been trying to shoot lower shutter speeds to reduce the noise. Once again, thanks.
