The biggest compliment I've ever received from an 80 year old award winning architectural photographer was that he envied me for the variety in my photography. He was so entrenched in his specialization that he struggled to photograph otherwise. In other words you could specialize but don't forget to use all aspects of photography. Take pictures outside your comfort zone and dare to think outside the box, be creative and enjoy.
Back in the day I thought a Nikon D2X would unlock the photographic secrets of the universe. Now I review my old D70 files and think dang that looks good. Enjoy what you have.
Hello Robin, I think your passion for photography is inspiring. I have an Olympus camera which lead me to your channel. Once here, I have gained a wealth of knowledge, tips and information over the past 12 mths that has helped me "understand" my camera. You do a wonderful job and I hope that I can contribute to your Pay Pal when Funds are available. Many many thanks to you. John Gordon
You are a tonic 💛 I learn so much every video. Bought myself an ep-l10 for my birthday and you and that camera have been the biggest help in shutting out the madness of the world right now!
How true Robin! Especially the first point: photographers from newbies to advanced shooters can be afflicted by this "analysis paralysis". There really is so much to think about that it can drive you crazy (composition, exposure triangle, focal length, focus point, etc.). I'm simplifying things by shooting in Program mode, 9-point focus cluster, auto ISO, AWB, shutter button focus.
Great tips! I’ll add another one: always have conversations with other photographers that have more experience than yourself. And the best one, if you know something that works and that can be repeated with the same results, share it.
Haven’t seen one of your videos for a while. OMG Robin you look fantastic! Good on you. Great video and I’ve some catching up to do on your channel. Bring on 2022!!!
5:42 this is so true. Many people persue for ultimate IQ like lowest noise, best bokeh, best sharpness, corner sharpness, best exposure, best AF..this is nothing to do with good photos. Many legendary photographs not even in focus, not perfectly exposed, shot with high grain film, etc
Hi Robin, based on experience if accidentally drop battery at around waist level, would it be damaged? It still work when i put i It back into the camera. Thank you
hello robin and thanks for all the tips you give .... but i'm asking you plz if you can make a video explaining how to shoot manual... i mean when should i use high iso or low iso or adjust the shuter speed .... why auto mode always do a better job ??????
Hi Robin. Thank you for the information and advice you provide us with in your videos. I am fond of photography, and I practice travel photography. I'm interested in swapping out my old Sony NEX (predecessor to the 5000 and 6000 series) with the 16-50 f3.5-5.6 entry-level kit lens. Budget € 1,200 - € 1,500 Options that interest me: Fuji xt30 II or xs10. Lenses 18-55 f2.8-4, or 16-80 f4 Olympus em5 III. Lenses 12-40 f2.8, or 12-45 f4 I would like to know if they are suitable options for the type of photography I usually do, and among the indicated options which one would you recommend me (or another option if it seems more appropriate). Thanks a lot from Spain
I think AF tracking might be handy while shooting a toddler moving about, but it's too unreliable for general purpose use (it's easily confused and might "jump" to another subject). Focus and recompose can be used for landscapes, but for closer objects you might get focus shift. Better to just use the touch screen to move the focus point.
