Haha Chris, it's not about one or the other. They are both brilliant in their own ways so it's a question of what's the right tool for a particular job. Namibia is VERY long lenses, and I wanted to test the 150-600mm so the GFX stayed at home. It'll be back in my pack for the Dolomites though. It's lovely to have the choice.

Incredible images again Andy and it's also encouraging that you're using the telephoto lenses with many of the photos. It makes me think the 70-300 will be a great lens to use for both wildlife and landscape when I eventually get out there. Keep up the great work 👍
@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, for Namibia you absolutely need a telephoto and something like the 50-140mm isn't long enough. The 70-300mm will be pretty good for a lot of shots, but for wildlife you might still need more

Well I can’t wait for the video! I’ve hesitated to invest in the 150-600 for a while now, especially with some reviewers complaining about the aperture being too small at 600mm. No doubt your opinion on the matter will be helpful. Did you have to use a sturdier tripod than usual to make images at the longest focal?

Great pictures Andy! I recently had a question about the 8mm on a 40 MP camera and now I saw that you used the 55-200mm on the XT5. I compared pictures with that lense on the XS10 and XH2 and found a quite signifikant drop in quality especially on the longer end. What is your opinion/experience on 40MP? Thanks again and keep up the great work!

First of all a massive thank you for your videos and all the useful information, tips and inspiration! Really enjoyed watching many of them and get a lot of inspiration for our own Namibia trip in October. Love your beautiful pictures and also the way you explain and share your experiences and your mindset behind your photography. But in addition a short question: Which size do you use for your Kase filters? I'm shooting on Olympus MFT and Kase recommends a size larger for the filters (77mm instead of 72mm) quite similar to their recommendations for the Fuji lenses. From your experience it is necessary to step up to 77 or perhaps even 82mm?
@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 9 месяцев назад
Thanks so much. For the filters it's really doesn't hurt to go a size bigger if you want to use more than one filter at a time. If you just use one, then you're probably OK with a 72mm on the lens

@AndyMumford 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comment. I took the XT5 because I really wanted to have the long reach (notice a lot of these images are above 300mm) and last year with the GFX I had to crop into a lot of images. This year I wanted to test the 150-600, which was perfect for this trip as it turned out, so the GFX stayed at home.

Can only emphasise what @gelade has already said, another amazing video. Been following you for a while and wanted to do the Dolomites and Tuscany tour but a busy work life came in between the past 2-3 years but I am not giving up. Your videos are short but sharp, I like that you share many example photos and you don't make it too complicated to understand. Greetings from Dubai/Abu Dhabi (work) and see you hopefully in the Dolomites soon. It is only a 3 hours drive from Munich and the money is also put aside all. I need is the time :-) If you are looking for input for what to change it would be great if you can add a date and time stamp to your photos, in aother words where, what day of the year and what time of the day.

@JustinWatson23
@JustinWatson23 10 месяцев назад
I think lots of people pixel peep with lenses etc, especially the XF16-80, yet in reality having perfect pixels doesn't make an image great, the composition does. I'm literally going to Namibia in a couple of weeks and will have the 16-80 with me, so hoping to get images half as good as these!
@steveborghardt
@steveborghardt 10 месяцев назад
@@JustinWatson23 Good luck on your trip - I'd love to see what you capture. I had the 16-80mm and sold it pretty quickly as I was never happy with the results - I bought it used so I may not have had a good copy. I agree with you on composition over pixel peeping. Some of my favorite images were taken with my D750 and my 24-120mm lens. It's not the sharpest or the fastest, but when I'm out in the ocean or in areas where I know the elements may get to it it's the combo I reach for the most and it comes through for me.
@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for the comment. When I was here last year I realised that you need a really long lens for a lot of the scenes, so I wanted to test the 150-600mm, and it really is a great lens for this kind of trip. However it's not a lens I could see myself using in a lot of other places, the 70-300mm is probably more practical. The 16-80mm I've been using for over a year and I really like it. It's not as sharp as the 16-55mm, but in my opinion it makes up for that in versatility and compactness. I'm really not a pixel peeper, and for me personally, when I look at lenses it's a combination of sharpness, focal length range and size/weight that I take into account. Some people value sharpness a lot higher than I do, but for me as long as it's acceptably sharp then I'm happy with it. I'll have a review of the 16-80mm later this year...I think it's a really really useful lens

@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford Месяц назад
I don't remember their name, but they're the only heli operators in Sossusvlei. They don't specialise in tourism though (most of their work is conservation based) and so you need to contact them and charter the entire helicopter, which is around $1400 per hour.

@Xyviel69 10 месяцев назад
Your photography is amazing, and the video was a joy to watch. I very much hope I will be able to join you on a workshop some day. I am curious however about your settings and the process that goes into how you choose shutter speed. Some landscape photos have a fairly high shutter speed, at the cost of some ISO. Why would you push up shutter speed for these kind of photos (not talking to photos taken from the helicopter, of course) ?
@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 10 месяцев назад
Thanks so much for the comment, really glad you enjoyed the video. The fast shutter speeds are because it was often windy and I was using very long focal lengths. Even with a tripod and IBIS it's very easy to get micro-shake and blurred images, so I increased the ISO. With modern cameras there's very little decrease in quality up to ISO1000

These days, the challenges photographing this part of Namibia, are that it’s hard to get a clean shot in Deadvlei, as there are too many photographers who enter the composition and interfere with the image one wants to make. Unfortunately, there’s also a lot of garbage left at the base of the biggest dunes, which means a lot of effort is needed to clean up the scene before the photo can be made. The helicopter shots are brilliant, but the cost to rent a helicopter is prohibitive for most, so be prepared to go only if you have deep pockets.
@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 9 месяцев назад
Well, just getting to Namibia is relatively prohibitive for most, but once you're there the helicopter flights are quite a bit less expensive than most places I've visited if you can get other people to share with you. With Deadvlei, the best bet is to stay in one of the places inside the outer gate, which allows you to enter the park one hour before sunrise and leave one hour after sunset (for everyone outside the gate you can only enter at sunrise and have to be out at sunset). I've been to Deadvlei 6 times now and apart from our group there have only been a couple of other photographers in the morning before the masses arrive about an hour later..but by then the best light has gone so we leave. In the afternoons we've always had the place to ourselves for last light as everyone has left to be back at the gate at sunset. The hotels inside that gate are expensive, but the Dead Valley lodge has a campsite as well. I've always found it to be a relaxing place to shoot as it's so calm and quiet, and there are so many different compositions to choose from. It's a shame you didn't have such a great experience when you were there.

I know it is a bore to talk gear but I am about to go to Namibia and Botswana and I could use your advice. I have huge weight restrictions on the small planes flying to Botswana so I will have to make a major decision about lenses for my xt5. I also have an XT3 so I thought I’d have one camera with my 100-400 and use the other camera with a mid range….18-55? Or 16-80 (which I don’t own). Should I include the 10-20? If you can, I would appreciate your input….I am not taking a tripod due to weight restrictions (and travelling with non photographers)
@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 10 месяцев назад
The 100-400 is essential, but I would say you only need an ultra wide angle if you plan to visit Kolmanskopp. Everywhere else you'll probably be fine with the 16-80mm (it will give you close coverage to the 100-400 and is much better than the 16-80mm). If you really want to take an ultra wide just in case, you could get the super small and light Fuji 8mm or Laowa 9mm. Your two bodies and 3 lenses should be well under 3kg

@AndyMumford
@AndyMumford 10 месяцев назад
@mrskarshsphotos Personally I much prefer the 16-80 to the 18-55. The 55-200mm is a lovely lens, but it's really not long enough for a lot of images in Namibia. Most of the images in this video (except for the aerials) were taken above 300mm

It would be great if we could take a look at the raw files and the editing process behind these images, particularly those captivating aerial shots showcasing such remarkable contrast.

The contrast had to be pushed a little in post processing to drop the shadows down, but you can see from the videos that the shadow side of the dunes was pretty dark

that's interesting, now I understand these type of compositions with the dune which almost looks like a vertical wall in some of them, I have seen something similar but I couldn't figure out what was that..... by the way would you recommend the 16-80 on the 40mp sensor? and, would you recommend this lens in general?

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. I think the 16-80mm is a great lens and I use it all the time on the XT5

Why when you camera is on a tripod you go all the way to iso 800 or iso 640 or even 400? most of your photos have been captured in iso 400? Why not iso 80 or iso 100 when you have a tripod?

Because even with a tripod when you're using very long focal lengths and it's very windy, as it was here, then you need to have fast shutter speeds or the image will be blurred from micro shake.
