Hello from Toronto, really enjoy your content. I'm just getting back into photography after over 40 years out of the hobbie, lol yes that's a long time. Anyay nearing my retirement and figure this would be a great hobby to get reacquainted with. The camera will be a R6 Mark 2 (first lens is to 24-105 F/4 L) from Henries however making and SD Card choice seems to be a daunting one. Any tips on what card to get? This is the one im looking at but wonder if the speed will be fast enough for 4k video and raw photos. Subjects will be travel photos, wildlife especially birds in the future (Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC 128GB 200MB/s UHS-I) The V90 are insane in price a mind numbing $ 250 on sale at Henries. I don't mind spending the money if its necessary to get the most out on my camera. Thanks joe

It will be ok for photos, but not 4K video. The manual should tell you what minimum write speed is needed for 4k video.

@JaySilva88 10 месяцев назад

My thoughts on RAW are simple: shoot RAW+JPG. If you're happy with the JPG, you can just delete the RAW later. But, if for some reason you like the composition but not the edit, you have the RAW to go back to. Also, in a couple years time, you might want to fiddle with the RAW. If you take pictures, save both, the RAW editing power is huge and can make a dull boring foto really pop out! My opinion and my personal practice.

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

Solid plan

@reinhard8053 10 месяцев назад

If you are e.g. on vacation and want to do something with a picture without any processing, it is much easier in JPG. I started with that (on a EOS350D) but switched to just JPG because it was too slow for some motives. Now I only switch to both formats if I expect the picture to be problematic with contrast and such or if I want to do something special with it.

I hadn't heard "isos"(?) for derivation of ISO "film" speed - I understood it was from the International Standards Organisation acronym. "ASA" was used in America "back in the day" and "DIN" in Europe. ISO became more common in maybe the 80s?

Actually, it’s the International Organization for Standards (IOS), and fearing that translations would mess up an acronym (IOS, ISO, etc), they created the word “iso”.

Simon. I have a Canon 6D Mark II with a Tamron 70-200 F2.8 lens. I have all the camera settings correct for indoor competition swim meets. AI servo, Auto ISO, 400 shutter speed and F4.5. When I am at the end of an indoor swimming pool taking photographs of a swimmer competing in the butterfly, I use single shot mode and attempt to time the swimmer at the perfect time with arms outstretched. The majority of the photographs are out of focus while some are in focus. I am not sure if it is the camera or my lens that cannot seem to focus fast enough when the swimmer pops up out of the water. This camera and lens should have no problem capturing this type of action. Any ideas what might be wrong ? Thank you in advance.

@simon_dentremont 7 месяцев назад

At iso 400 you probably don’t have enough shutter speed. you Might want to use iso 1000. Also, set focus to AI Servo, amd take lots of shots.

It’s always gloomy light aswell. Do you think i should change to shutter priority ? Any advice would be great thank you

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

Your challenge is that you have two goals. To get both the rider and horse in focus, you need more depth of field, soma smaller aperture. You also need to freeze the action, so more shutter speed. I’d shoot in Manual with auto iso, and stop your lens down a bit to get both in focus.

Would you still use the 5D MK classic or II, in 2023 🤔🤔🤔🤔 would love a video on this

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

It could still take great pics in good light and if the autofocus wasn’t critical, like product photography

Hi there Simon, thanks for the video! I have a question and I was curios if you could give me a good answer. I also like to shoot in Manual with Auto ISO, but also I would like the exposure to not be at 0 all the time but to change it maybe to -1, so my highlights dont burn out. Is there a good way to achive that? Since only the ISO fixes my exposure when I set the Stutterspeed and Apature, can I control the ISO not to go to 0 but to fix the exposure to -1? Or can I change the settings in the Semiautomatic modes, so that the Apature or the Shutter has priority over the ISO? I hope you understand my problem and you can help me with it. Thanks and sorry for grammar or spelling mistakes :)

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

On some camera brands, if you set the iso to -1 EV, it will stay there when you turn the camera back on in the future. You can set it to -1 EV using the exposure compensation function. On some cameras, you can also set a maximum ISO, so the camera will change the aperture or shutter speed after the iso limit is achieved.

I'd like to see a video of why an iPhone shouldn't superimpose dedicated cameras. Why? Because I don't see any awarded professional taking their photos with phones ...

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

The small sensor on a phone isn’t great in low light and has less dynamic range. Also, the lenses of dedicated cameras are much better quality.

@@simon_dentremont thank you very much. So kind of you to answer my question. Now I have an answer from such an artist like you to those who flood videos on RU-vid trying to instill that idea. I always knew it was odd.

No regular birder, and today while trying it out I walked upon a lonely barnacle goose on the snowy beach, and as I disturbed it, it tried to move but behaved like if it had had a stroke and lay down when I left it alone. By far no veterinarian so no idea if old age or bird flu, but her time had most likely come. Any tips for shrugging that off and not let it ruin the day? Called my mom and we both agreed we got plenty enough of those geese, but could it be a contagious hazard for dogs or foxes or birds of prey? It's far from wilderness around here so it's hard to claim nature should run its course in all circumstances.

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

Calling the local dept of natural resources or wildlife rehab is the best course of action. I have the local rehab number ready to go in my phone.

@joffemannen 10 месяцев назад

@simon_dentremont Just found out it was one of 21 000 geese this day, new record for this beach just north of Malmö, Sweden! But I just remember the one. Hopefully food for an eagle or fox already, but I'll try and find the number for the "town huntsman"

Great video as always Simon. My question is when when taking a family portrait (group) and one person for instance a child is positioned just in front of another person , whose eye should I focus on?

@simon_dentremont 10 месяцев назад

You should use a smaller aperture to get more of the scene/faces in focus. But, technically, the focussing on the front face is better than the back as there is more depth of field behind than in fromt. Check out my video that comes out in the next day or two to see why!

@tonyharris8889 10 месяцев назад

@rryan62145214tw 2 месяца назад

so~in the general situation ,should I set the shutter speed first ? or the aperture first

@simon_dentremont 2 месяца назад

depends which is more critical. In action, start with shutter speed.
