When I shoot street, I mainly use a Pentax MX or ME, if I want aperture priority. Equipped either with a 28mm lens or a 100mm. What I like about the latter is the possibility to isolate objects or people in the frame from their background due to the shallow depth of field when shooting at f 5.6 or below. I have even used 200 or 300mm lenses, but that is a completely different approach. Interesting, indeed, but utterly different. Thanks very much for your tips... 🙂
My favorite use is at wedding receptions. I put my flash on a pole and the bender on and have the assistant aiming it in all directions on a dance floor. What fun shots you get and pretty soft lighting too! Just put your flash on ETTL and have fun! I also like it for getting sunset photos of the couple and moon shots with them too!
Too much blabla. AD 2015 minus 40 years = 1975 "Forty years ago we had little cameras" In the Sixties there were more LF cameras, 6 x 6 and 35 mm brands than today.
Hello, nice video about filters, thanks to share it. Out of curiosity: If I like to shoot video in 4K in sunny days, is it better Polarizing Breakthrough 62mm X4 Dark 3-Stop or Breakthrough X4 62mm Neutral Density 3-Stop. I'd like to always leave the filter attached on the camera for all shoots for all the time. Thanks for your thoughts.
I use a 8.1 megapixel Ricoh gr digital camera from 2006. 5.9mm f2. 4 lens. A really tiny camera with an incredible fixed 28mm equivalent lens. I shoot in black and white all the time.
I got few Flash Benders and few small soft boxes which got silver reflectors built inside the soft box to gives more light to travel all over the subject
What is the ideal distance from the object you want to photograph? We want to shoot an object outdoors but not sure of the best distance away from the object to set it up.
Great video about the exact issues I am having combining both skills. I can’t get much good footage handheld especially with long lenses but it sometimes works out. Good fun trying though. Love the footage Tesni showed
Useful video clip. I have just started shooting video. Although Olympus stabilisation is excellent, I find it virtually impossible to get a steady clip if using 400 - 500mm zoom in. Although my EM1 m3 with 150 - 400mm combination is the best in terms of weight, holding this steady or doing a level and even pan hand held is not really possible. I have started using a Benro carbon fibre monopod to overcome this issue which is considerably lighter than my Manfrotto tripod with fluid head. About to start a project shooting with an Anamorphic lens. Interesting times for micro 4/3rds.
I bought the 'light' version a while ago.....and then ended up paying £45 for someone professional to do it for me. Earlier today I spotted an annoying bit of dust on my sensor right in the middle - 5 minutes later (using the Light Wand) dust gone. Very easy to use - would recommend.
I'm aspiring to be a professional wildlife photographer. My question is, how did you start? I just got a new 18-200mm lens that I use every day. Do you maybe have some tips for beginners?
