@HR-wd6cw 3 года назад

I think shooting at a set focal length for a day, week, or month (and exclusively at that FL) is helpful and a valuable skill for photographers. If you can do this over, say, the course of the year as a project, it can help you visualize how your camera and lenses will see, and you'll spend less time wondering what is the correct FL for a particular shot because you have will developed the skill and know what each FL can present (roughly) in a given scene. I'm not saying this has to be your primary focus, but if it's something you work on as an annual project, maybe each month you photograph at a different FL and maybe even the same subjects, but at different FLs throughout the year, you can start to develop a mental library of what different FLs do in various scenes...

@kennygo8300 3 года назад

As Adam and Gavin have found out in western Canada, collaborations are always fun for the viewer as well as the creators.

@wesleysteyn3006 3 года назад

Thank you for this week’s video. I follow James as well and great to see the collaboration with you two! Love both your channels 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@chrisjames1924 3 года назад

Everyone who has a mirrorless should get themselves a vintage 135mm manual prime. They're ultra cheap (under £50), are great fun, offer amazing image quality and teach you so much about using longer focal length.

@JeahnLaffitte 3 года назад

I don’t know if it’s the nature of who I am but I find myself reaching for 200mm the most almost all the time. Maybe it’s where I live but I find it so much easier to isolate my subject and avoid man made objects/ get tight enough from a distance. 24 is very hard for me in every day use.

@jabezhane 3 года назад

70-200mm is the way to go IMO. I have around a dozen lenses but now I reach for the 70-200mm most of the time.

@keertisiag4820 3 года назад

Absolutely agree with you in challenging ourselves with restricting focal length. I went out with a 24mm prime and absolutely regretted my decision while shooting with it on top of a hill thought I was missing out on all the details in sky and clouds but was pleasantly surprised to find out later looking at them in Lightroom that I got some really lovely wide shots that I may have never thought of. Thank you for posting such informative and encouraging videos all the time. Will make sure that I tag you on Instagram in the 24mm photos that I took yesterday. Hoping for a quick feedback!!

@Lemonayde 2 года назад

Hello Nigel and to anyone! Just wanna ask about the difference between these two on portrait photography and videography hehe • Nikon DX af-s 55-200mm VR (e.g. if at 55mm) • Nikon 50mm 1.8D NIKKOR i usually practice shooting on events but using a stock lens of 18-55mm and was looking for a second lens to explore to, any thoughts ? hehe

@johnpollock6996 3 года назад

Good fun, great video from both of you. Really enjoyed the brief "sound of freedom" echoing through the valley.

@simonmiles1972 3 года назад

This feels like a compelling argument in favour of the humble 24-70. There’s always an image to be made in the mid-range. There’s no better single lens for landscape photography IMHO.

@alanmcdade2459 3 года назад

The 24-70 is probably any thing but not humble. It is big, heavy, expensive. A nifty-fifty is humble.

@jabezhane 3 года назад

Never seen the attraction of the 24-70 lenses. I've tried a couple and the focal range is 'wide to a little bit closer'. It's why I went with a 24-105 F.4, just has more reach and you still get a nice bit of bokeh at the far end. Works pretty well on APS-C too. However, I've mainly switched to 70-200MM F2.8 over the past two years. Much more usable than you think. It's just the size/weight thats the downside. You get used to it though. Each to their own.

@vidthreenorth4007 3 года назад

I admire the concept but as soon as I saw 24mm and 200mm I felt that you guys bit off a tough one. I think 28mm v. 135mm would have had a bit easier time, and with the other restrictions (after 9:00, weather, etc.) would have been a little less challenge and a little more fun. But I doubt if many would agree with me. :-)

@hum2020 3 года назад

May I suggest another restriction. White stick with a blindfold. Show all the blood and injuries from any falls.together with bone snapping sand moans of agony.

@duncanrae7504 3 года назад

I really struggle with wide lenses , pushing the back ground subject too far away , if I zoom with my feet I end up losing the foreground interest :-/

@EdwardKilner 3 года назад

Not an easy outing. I have the Nikon 24-200mm zoom for my Z6ii, but would never have thought to restrict myself to the outer limits!

@Stillfilm1 3 года назад

Two for the price of one - what's not to like? I often take out just one lens to force myself to be more creative. Of course it's always the wrong lens for the job. Great video Nigel & James.
