Dude you and Casey are going to freaking take over RU-vid ! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 you guys are both so good at different things and now you two will literally be the best at it all. Omg I’m so stokedddd!
"you're better off getting a new one" when a new one is litterally thousands of dollars and it works flawlessly aside from 2 easy to replace rubber rings?
I’ve been a huge fan of both peter and Casey and now seeing them both collab... STOKED! You can already see both of them getting better- the storytelling from pete talking about the lens while getting a container of gas I feel was something casey often did- storytelling and continuing the story from place to place. I’m not saying they’re copying each other but rather they’re integrating bits and pieces of each other’s styles which is making their content insanely better than it already was!
Dam, my lenses are used non stop and still look like new, but I do repair as I go, I never move on to the next project with a lens that has any type of damage. The normal wear is inevitable however.
Just bought your luts and presets few hours ago! Now I'm going though my whole photo library to rediscover my old shots with a new look! Thanks a lot for these packs
So we adopted a hound dog from a local shelter and he's only been with us a few days. He has never lived in a house so some things flummoxed him, such as the television. He has gotten used to it for the most part, but the beginning of this video brought him off the couch and right up to the TV screen. The forest, maybe with the bird noises, really caught his attention and he watched until the woods part was over, then cocked his head to one side for a minute before returning to his nap on the futon. I think that is the sign of some well done B-roll, you fooled the hound dog. Love your stuff, thanks for the education and inspiration.
Thanks Peter for the fun video :) For anyone not familiar with Aperture and depth of field, 2 more points that are important to know. 1. Telephoto lenses (zoom) will have even more background blur when zoomed in fully, but as Peter said you will lose sharpness (not much but some), depending on what kind of image you're going for though it can be worth it. 2. A lower aperture f1.4 = shallower depth of field meaning only objects within x distance will be in focus. X will increase when at a higher aperture. I.E. f1.4 might have a 6" field of focus, and f5 might have a 24" field of focus. This is extremely important to know when doing any kind of run and gun shooting. For run and gun, I typically use f3.5-f5 and f8 if I am really struggling with focus. For B-Roll i use F1.8 (as I do not have an f1.4 lens)
NOW I'M CONFUSED. WICH LENSES ARE BETTER TO VLOG??? 24MM or 50mm? Do the 24mm make that anoying noise? PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME! JUST bought a Canon 80D ;) THANKS
Josi Daresbach Alright here goes. The number, (24, 50, etc) refers to the focal length, which means how wide or zoomed that lens is. For example, a 15mm lens will be really wide, whereas a 400mm is gonna be super zoomed in. Usually, for vlogging, you'll want a lens around 30-50mm because that's close to the view of the human eye, so it seems natural. If your lens makes noise, that's not got anything to do with the focal length, it's got to do with the motors in the lens when using autofocus. In general, cheap lenses are loud, but most lenses (even $20,0000 lenses) make a lot of noise when autofocusing, so you should try and avoid using autofocus, your videos will look waaaaaay better if you learn how to use manual settings as well anyway. Watch a lot of Pete's videos, and stuff by DSLRGuide, FilmRiot, CaseyNeistat, D4Darius, etc to learn more about cameras and lenses and how to vlog. Also, bonus tip: your camera has a crop-sensor, which means that whatever lens you buy is going to look more zoomed in, because the sensor (the eyeball of your camera) is actually a little cropped in already. Dont worry, you just need to do some thinking when choosing a lens because your camera will basically make it a little bit more zoomed no matter what. So, take the focal length of the lens you're thinking of buying, for example let's say you buy a 50mm, and multiply it by 1.6, and that will tell you the focal length that your camera will actually see since it has that crop sensor. If you want a 50mm (remember to multiply to see what YOUR 80D will make it) I'd suggest the "nifty fifty" Canon 50mm F1.8, there's a million videos on this lens, and it only costs about $125 bucks. If you want something wider, consider buying used/vintage lenses on Ebay for around $20, they're just as good but not as shiny and new anymore. If you do that, make sure to watch some videos on vintage lenses. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I'll do my best to help.
Josi Daresbach if you want something versatile that will help you get your bearings on what focal length works for you then find a used 24-105mm f4 L. It should be less than 600 bucks U.S. And it's generally a great all around shooter. And if you ever want to sell it on you will make all of not most of your money back. Then you can move on from there. I will say this. The nifty fifty on a crop sensor is probably too tele for daily vlogging. A 35mm prime would be better. If it's the only lens you are buying.
This intro song isn't from Epidemic sound tho. Its Airlines by MrJaxx from google store or Apple music. Think it costs about 1 dollar tho to use. play.google.com/store/music/album/MrJaxx_Airlines?id=B4g5bqt5pifl4nsjttl7usz5wbq
Peter - I know any helmet is beter than none. But, the helmet you are rocking here is a MTB/Downhill specific helmet, and not really close to the safety standards of a motorcycle helmet - I would really advise you to get a real Moto (MX) helmet..
3 years ago my dad gave me his Canon 50mm 1.8 ii. This lens came with his FILM camera he bought before I born. So I'm using a 24+ years lens! Still working perfectly and helping me a lot with jobs. Great video! Cheers from Brazil!
I want one of those, the picture looks so crisp. My budget is not there yet so I will properly go for a 50mm f1.4 USM as my next one. Right now using 24m F2.8 pancake for my studio. Great video and nice to have something on the wishlist
For some reason this felt like a much different vlog, and for good reason. You told us the story of your very first lens, the memories it brought you, the experiences you've had, and how you're now only sending it off into the sunset. I think some of that Casey magic rubbed off on you in a good way, but I would rank this at the top of the lists of favourite videos on this channel. Amazing stuff, Peter, as always.
Peter you should make a book about people like us who are into b-roll cinematography or about your tactics of being a photographer & cinematographer! I'd definitely buy it
My first non-stock lens was my Canon 10-22mm. Absolute beast of a lens, took me through 26 countries and even got me paid to travel, withstood countless drops and dust and snow and water over 3 years - only to die in one last drop where it literally snapped in half around the focus ring. Didn't bring it with me to Canada but after watching this I feel like I need it back for the memories haha
Chris Snyder If they like it they like it let them enjoy it. Some people like cheap pizza, some people don't, it's about personal taste not objective quality, cheers man.
You should do more vids about Cannon Lenses, understanding the difference between all of them and advantages and disadvantages is really helpful 👊 Thanks though PM for all your videos! They are really helpful and inspiring already👌
Alexander, do you know if Is this 24mm better than the 50mm for vlogging? I just bought a Canon 80D and I'm going to buy one lense, but I don't know wich one it's better. I don't want to buy lots of lenses, its gonna be more for vlogs than pics. Thank you in advance!!!
If you have to choose between the two, definitely go with the 24mm because the 80D has a crop sensor, which means your lens wont be as wide as it would be on a full frame camera like the 5D. For Vlogs I'd recommend a wider lens like the 10-18mm, or 16-35mm if you want to get an L series. :)
Oh yes, snowmobiles need to be registered but many just use them on fields, in forests and they cross some streets as fast as possible for not being caught by cops! I have seen a snowmobile in the middle of a highway (large grass part between the two lane sides), he was travelling over 150kmh!
Peter, what ever happened about a month ago or so it hasn't gone unnoticed. Something even more brilliant is happening and your camera work has matured significantly. Is it due to new equipment or a state of mind, whatever is happening it's working. You are a force dear...keep it up!
Hey pete, Would you still recommend this lens on a crop sensor (70d)? Im hoping to upgrade to full frame eventually but looking to invest in some glass now.
24mm always looks so wide when I use it but for you it looks amazing! I really struggle to get b-roll with the quality you do without the big budget gear - any chance you could do a tutorial on getting cinematic b-roll with lower end gear/lenses? Love your work mate - I'll buy you a coffee if you ever find yourself in Australia... :D
This is unequivocally your style 100%. Amazing b-roll and information from experience that takes us unto the story. Loved the part about the old lens! Thanks Man!
Hi Peter, I just bought the LUTS Package using the offer. At the moment I shoot with a Canon 6D and the Cinestyle Picture Style set in camera to have the most "flat" look. Should I change to another Picture Style to have a better match with your LUTS ? Thank you!
what lens do you vlog with? i currently have the art kit lens from canon the 50mm and the 18-20mm but im looking for a lens thinking of the 24 or 16-35mm? i think
Oh Peter.. I've been having this huge grin on my face watching your newer videos.. the vibe is just so uplifting. Bought both the LUTS & Presets and I don't even make videos! Keep at it, and good luck.
Your vlogs look so clean cut and crisp! It always bothers me a little when a vlogger moves their camera around too much since it hurts my eyes and makes me dizzy, but I really appreciate the content that you and Casey put out.
That intro sequence is 🙌. I wish more people and companies made more fun "reviews" of lens like you just did.Shows people what they are investing into.
Another fantastic Video mate, I have just purchased a Canon 80D and I have been making a few vlogs, I think I'm hooked. Keep up the great work Peter :)
Got one too and I wonder what lense do you have and use for filming? I've got myself the standard Kit lense 18-55mm then bought a 50mm 1.8 Aperature Lense for 100$ and a wide lense 10-18mm for 140$ ... I still question myself if I should by a high end one for maybe 500$ or so ... But I'm also worried if a camera with a ASP-C sensor is enough compared to a full frame camera and if I should Upgrade even to a better camera ... Any opinions? Thanks in advance! :)
The Italian i also have the 18-135mm (great lens) i want to get the 35mm for next, ive heard really good things about it. As far as cameras, it depends what you use it for, it’s nice to have there screen that swivels on the the 80D when you are vlogging. If you are not vlogging with it and can get a full frame? Go for it! If you are only using for video, take a look at the XC10 and other camcorders. Like I said it depends what you are using it for.
Peter, I have bought both the Luts and the Preset packs today. Thank you for inspiring me to buy a camera (Canon Ti6) and pursue a hobby I never knew I would do! Keep on rocking and bringing me a bit of happiness into my world.
I've been getting some great tips on shooting from you lately. Still have a lot to learn. But I have to seriously thank you for the Epidemic Sound tip! The music there is fantastic!! Love your channel! Thanks for all you share!
You can tell you hung out with Casey! You still have your cinematic feel but now carry a story through multiple scenes and while you're doing mini side story's as well! Very smooth
Shit I just had a sony a6300 crap out on me and had to trade off my canon 24-105mm to get another a6300... Its rough whenever camera gear has to go to the graveyard.
Hi Peter, thanks for your Lightroom Preset pack, I'm new to photography and just bought your Lightroom presets. It's really a big help for me to learn from it. Hope to see more of your amazing tutorials and videos and hopefully in the near future I could take great shots nad videos like you.
I see some of Casey’s story-telling kinda vlog here right after you both meet. Combined with ur cinematic skill, the vlog is becoming more fun to watch!!
The intro to this video is amazing and very well polished. I did own until very recently a sigma 17-70 dc macro lens for a APSC sensor canon EOS 7d. That lens was my walk about lens it went every where the camera went. It has been on every holiday, every photo shoot. I have own that for nearly 9 years just like Peters 24L lens. Then one it would not go to f2.8 it would only go down to f4. Quick phone to sigma who confirmed it had 'had it', so I traded it in and got the contemporary version of the same lens. It is a different beast, quiet, quick focusing a very good lens.
That opening shot though 😰😰😰... 5 mins in and i quickly move from inspired to disappointment once i see your ATV and i'm reminded that it's illegal for us to drive them on the road in Britain. Good thing i already have enough lenses 🙃
I'm using the Samyang iteration of the 24mm F1.4. Only con is that it is completely manual in focusing and aperture control. Though when it comes to versatility and sharpness, it is stellar: and its aberrations and astigmatism is almost non-existent!
Matt Stephen i am confused too becouse now i can afford only one and i need to make choice but i am going to invest in 24 or something like that focal length!
Fair enough. I'm using a cropped sensor. Mostly for filming myself and vlogging stuff. Just looking for something moderately cheaper and wide enough to film close.
Forget the RIP bit...there is a honorable afterlife for your beloved 24mm...just remove all the lens and mechanical elements, then insert a styrofoam or plastic cup and and there you have it...your 24mm is reborn to a real Canon coffee cup... yes, there is life after death...
That intro is just sick! So smooth, so awesome, so crisp with the DOF and focus! Thanks for one fresh and informative segment. Good luck, love your work Peter:)
Giving thanks to Peter for an amazing year in photography. I eagerly wait for your videos. Your video is an escape for some people and I appreciate what you do! I've learnt so much but the one thing that stuck is "GO THE EXTRA MILE." and for that my friend I salute you
in where i live there is no so much of cinematography and with watching this guys videos am getting a head of all the video makers in my city thanks a lot dude
I love that you love the 24mm 1.4 L so much--I feel like no one ever talks about it! I've had it for a couple of years, and while I feel way more comfortable shooting at the 100mm or 200mm focal length than I do with a wide angle, it's a super sharp and very interesting lens.
