Very informative video. I wonder if why all the shots at such a a high iso 2000 and up. Why nothing lower than looks like like there was a plenty of of light.
Another thing is possibly using Auto ISO. The first time I used Auto ISO, I was surprised at how high the camera choose. Overcast day, about 5pm in summertime shooting up at an osprey in a tree. To me it seemed like plenty of light, but the camera chose ISO 2500.
We don't make a 40mm macro lens, so we can't compare performance, but the focal lengths are quite different. Comparing them at 1:1 reproduction, you will have a much wider viewing angle with a 40mm lens, while a 105mm lens will give you a tighter composition with distracting background elements reduced.
What I noticed you are shooting still subject (like a mushroom) and yet your shutter speed is 1/2000 and your ISO is 2000 and AF is 4.5. Absolutely makes no sense to me. I would go for higher quality photo here, by reducing shutter speed to 1/80 or even 1/60 (the subject is not moving) and take ISO down as much as possible (in perfect world to 100) and increase my AF perhaps to 7.0 so I can capture more details of the subject. Its all about balance.
The noise ruined what were otherwise so many good photos. Why shoot at 4000 shutter speed with 4000 ISO, you surely don't need 4000 shutter speed for these photos?
There is no video in 4k resolution in 2021. There are no links to the original raw photos. This is a big omission. The lens test is not informative. Why didn't they use a flash, but used a high ISO value?
This wasn't a tutorial about technical perfection, the description says "a relaxing photo walk" and it was interesting to see how you can get great macro shots without lugging around a bag full of gear, and just using natural light. If your camera can take clean high ISO's why not use it so you can have a fast shutter speed to freeze any hand held movement
@@4Kandlez Finally a sensible comment. In 2023 you can't be afraid to shoot at high ISO, modern mirrorless cameras and noise reduction software work wonders.
