Landscape photography vlogs, maybe gear and tutorials. Follow me as I venture forth in to the outdoors to photograph some of the most stunning landscapes of the English Lake District in Cumbria and across Northern England in the United Kingdom. Also they maybe the odd steam train photo on the Settle to Carlisle Railway Line.
You mean before Canon lost its way as regards build quality, the bodies that they are coming out with now are nothing short of scandalous for the price that hard working photographers have to pay for.
@@b.2221 At my age you don't get to fondle a younger Canon very often so I haven't really noticed. So I guess you're right. Everything seems to be be made for a high turnover, just to keep us upgrading and spending more than we need to.
I still have mine, had two for a while. While I have a 6D for astro work, the 5 is the digital equivalent of a K1000. It's a tank, and everything that comes out of it looks like film. It really is an amazing camera!
This is a great video. I truly appreciate your in-depth yet normal human discussion of how to do things. Lol. I have a 5D Mark 3 but you may have convinced me to shop around for a cheap 5D Mark 1 strictly for infrared work since I like to shoot so much outdoors. I'm sure I could get a lot of good heat register and infrared shots in Texas. Lol
Thanks Tim. Sounds like a good idea. I suspect that the native plants in Texas should be good for IR. Although I find that the fresh early summer foliage is the best but some trees look the same later on in B & W with or without the IR filter. Hope you find a good 5D. Check the mirror!
My first digital camera, my mirror fell off, I simply glued it back on ,and even bought a second one cheap with the same problem and glued that one on as well , I got some beautiful results, thanks for the video
Canon make great printers!, any camera that takes a picture is worth it. Like you know ive gone back to film, which in my opinion is far more satisfying than digital. congratulations on the 1k mate keep going.
To be truthful, I would get a 5D mark II ,I loved mine had it for many years and although I have many other cameras , including a R5 Canon I still take it out a lot when testing lens or just everyday photo's...
@@kibbsnowden6893 I'm still using my 5D Mark II now as my main camera. But would use the 5D Mark I Classic for infrared and portraits. It's got a look.
As someone who recently got a 5d Mark II, I'm not really sure how people use it. Auto-focus often can't focus on eyes, no golden hour photography works without grainy 3200 iso, even manually focusing on eyes seems to produce blurry results at f8.0. I must be doing something wrong that new cameras do for me.
@@HeyJD123 Low light people photography is beyond the 5D 2 it's one up from a film camera. Set the focus point on the centre square, then use the view finder focus recompose method or Live View at 10X in manual. You're lens might need to be focus sinked / calabrated with the camera (I think that's what it's called. Might be wrong) I wouldn't use any ISO above 1600. Check the diopter is right for your eyes.
I had a 5dm2 but it soon developed a line in pic at high magnifications so traded for 5dm3 which is a much better camera with better video by far. The 5dm2 had terrible moire patterns in video without special anti aliasing filter attached to sensor. But much better is new Canon R8. Focus is wonderful and much improved video that can actually track subjects.
I'm fortunate. I still have life-time versions of Lightroom (v4.4), Photoshop Elements 8.0 and Premiere Elements 12, plus the suite of NIK software that Google gave away free when they first acquired them. I stay away from subscriptions of any kind. All these companies trying to siphon money out of your wallet on a regular basis! My software serves me well, but if someone can recommend something to deal with vignetting, I'd appreciate it. I'm not satisfied with how Lightroom handles it.
If I was taking my time with things, I would be interested in getting one of these - as I usually shoot in the moment, I shan't - though I wonder if the 2nd version is faster to acquire focus?
@@DrZeeple When you say 2nd Version I assume you mean 5D Mark II, which has better focusing on the external focus points. Still not the best. But the most consistent one is still the centre square on both types of cameras.
I changed two cards and updated the firmware, both showed:“update file canont be found please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again”
@@user-my2lq1cz4y Don't know what that problem is, but if the card is over 8Gb it might not work. The info is somewhere on RU-vid or the web. Jon Jon in the comments mentioned it.
@@user-my2lq1cz4y Put it in manual focus on a tripod. Focus on the ground where you will be standing. Put the 10 second delay on. Push the shutter and run to that spot 🤣. Small mirror on a carboard L shape in hotshoe. You used to be able to get a monitor that plugs into the HDMI.
It turns out that the red dot does not appear on the focus point when focusing. I thought it was just my camera that was broken. It turns out it is a common problem.
Nice video, glad that church steeple came out level in the end. Very good information. Don't worry about the mirror, if it goes, it probably will go suddenly, mine did. I superglued it back on using 4 tiny dots one in each corner, applied pressured for 30 seconds or whatever the glue instructions said to do, it has been fine for years now. The only odd thing I ran into was that I needed to upgrade the firmware to whatever the last version was in order to deal with larger CF cards. Had the very original old firmware and it shot fine onto a larger card but had a problem during review on the camera, new firmware took care of that just fine. Best wishes! Good work!
Selber schuld! Die Community hätte direkt nach Einführung dieser Lizenzmodelle Adobe den Rücken kehren sollen. Diese Entwicklung war vorhersehbar. Zumindest für Leute, die über ihren Tellerrand schauen können…
They gouged our small company for years and them WOULD NOT LET US CANCEL our Contact. adobe Make it impossible to call customer care, when you can connect with them they cut you off. Shower of wanker$
J'aime particulièrement l'infrarouge en noir et blanc. Si en argentique, il-y- ale film,le filtre rouge foncé et tout ce qui va avec, y compris la chimie pour la chambre noire. Pour le numérique, comment faire pour que l'appareil fasse des photos en infrarouge, sans qu'il reste dans cette lumière là définitivement, et se servir de l'appareil normalement. Pour les images en infrarouge,cette fois, la marche à suivre, marche après marche pour arriver à la photo définitive, et si on peut faire avec photo filtre, sans passer par photo s h o p ,Qui est professionnel et très cher. ( ordinateur). Pour l'appareil photo et l'objectif s'est N I K O N, et si on peut le faire en dehors avec des appareils plus compacts, hybrides etc. Si vous acceptez de me répondre, sans traduction simultanée en Français, translate in French p l e a s e .
The problem is that most cameras have a Low Pass Filter, which blocks the infrared light so you need a digital camera with a week filter like the Canon 5D Mark 1. But then your limited to long exposures. You can get cameras with it removed or maybe an astro photography camera and if you want to use it normally you can get a filter for the front of the lens. I've see some do this with an old Sony NEX. It might have been on RU-vid a long time ago or it may have been someone's website. There are companies which can convert your camera but it costs. If you go the film route you could always send them to a Photo Lab.
If more people are leaving Adobe in droves (which they are), Adobe has then got no other choice BUT to go back to perpetual licenses and offering them as an option, rather than hamstringing consumers in a subscription model that sounds more and more intrusive every day, and also with NO CLEAR way to cancel your subscription without being slugged with the remainder of their subscription fee. As well as all these alternatives that have been suggested, try On1 Photo Raw and Affinity Photo. Yes Affinity have now been acquired by Canva and that could change in the future, but they STILL offer perpetual licenses, and that program is for the most part IDENTICAL to Photoshop (with some differences of course)
Thanks I'll try On1 Photo Raw and Affinity Photo. I've been having a think about this subject. Perhaps Adobe should have a simple buy once for life software that does the basics then a subscription for all the fancy filters and Ai stuff with a cheaper version for those who don't mind the work/property used.
@@andrewfindlayphoto That's why I have said that Adobe at this point have got NO choice but to go back to perpetual licenses. As for the whole AI argument, it all depends on what you're using it for in my opinion. If you're using it for simple photo correction an fixing flaws, then that's okay. But if you were using it to add things that weren't even there to begin with, if you're a photographer, that's a big no no in my book.
@@lightrecon6354 Really, eh? I'm tired of Adobe products (I'm still using LR/PS). I tried a free trial of Acrobat and it took me close to 3 hours with their tech support to get my money after they wouldn't let me cancel my free trial before my period was up, and they billed me. The buggers. I need to replace LR and PS.
One problem with the CC TOS involves uploading licensed images from third parties. When I license, say, one of your photos to put in a leaflet, I don't own it. Adobe does not differentiate between what's mine and what I licensed. Their "license of your content" clause in the TOS is much more problematic then first meets the eye: I cannot license the third party content to Adobe for whatever purpose, as I'm not a licensor but a licensee myself.
Great comment. I tend to shoot IR photos only in early summer mainly on blue sky days, so I don't have enough to justify a gallery of it's own, Yet. I haven't nailed down a post processing workflow for this type of image that I'm happy with, that reduces the noise/grain. The 5D only has 13 megapixels.
US sues Adobe for ‘deceiving’ subscriptions that are too hard to cancel / The Justice Department alleges that Adobe hid early cancellation fees and trapped consumers in pricey subscriptions.
not happy with licence , just get a pirated version , cops will come knoking on your door , addobe will remotely block your software , adobe will sue you , probably not , is not like you are taking from the pour , thows company make more in one day that what you will make in lifetime ,
That still makes them happy in the end since the notion of cracking Adobe software gives them a larger monopoly even if people don't pay the subscription.
@@lubossoltes321 If that's in the terms then so be it. It's what I signed up for. Would be pretty hypocritical of me to want to use generative AI and image generators then turn around and say "but don't use mine" now wouldn't it.
@@andrewfindlayphoto Until the new owners Canva, decide to take Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher down the SASS route a la Adobe/Autodesk. Then what?
You have an interesting perspective. I am happy with the value that I get from Adobe for $120 USD on the photography plan I have gotten very useful reliable tools in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop which is were I spend 99% of my time working with digital photos. I don't currently have concerns about Adobe. I think if you don't value your own time you don't have a good lens for making decisions. It helps to have a figure of what you think your time is worth to understand the cost of jiggery pokery that you have to work around limitations. DaVinci Resolve is an amazing free tool for those who don't need the Studio edition. There are some great bargains to be had on early Apple Silicon macs now. Those bargains will only get better when Apple brings out M4 machines. As long as you having fun it is all good.
I tried Darktable and I agree, definitely clunky! Another free option is Rawtherapee which works well, the biggest limitation I find there is the lack of masking. That's what then lead me to ART (which is a Rawtherapee fork), it has more masking capabilities although in comparison to what I've seen of Lightroom on youtube it is a little lacking still. But it does the job and is relatively intuitive and is free!
