Wonderful. The photo of the bike with church in the background, awesome. iPhone photography. Wow. You always say rightly, photos are taken by people,not by camera. Really nice video. Liked it so much.
France makes you smile. After watching this really enjoyable video, I can definitely say, this video makes me smile. Just like all of your videos. Keep up …
At nearly 90 years of age, I have no intention of ever getting on a bike, but I am a serious amateur photographer...still. I have been watching your videos for some time now and just want to thank you for how much you have contributed to my work. Keep it up. Please.
Another excellent video and perfectly timed! Recently upgraded to an iPhone 12 after many years and have been exploring all of the little built in camera features.
Awesome video. You keep on evolving and getting better and better. I remember 10 years ago, or so, looking for RU-vid videos on photography, and luckily, yours was the first one that popped up. I've been a bing fan since then. Keep up the good work!
days like that are the best..big clouds..sun...creates great contrast in the landscape..sun bursts etc..great countryside as well..Look forward to the following videos Mike
Thanks Susan. France is packed with great scenery. If you'd like to see more check out the gallery on the Photo Biker France page. link below ... MIKE🙏😊 www.photographycourses.biz/pbfrance
I had the privilege of taking some photos of a friends Harley Davidson the other day Mike! Beautiful bike. Chrome everywhere! It actually looked quite like an old Indian in design. I was quite pleased with the photos too. I just hope the owner of the bike liked them too!
im just at the part where youre having trouble getting a pic of the church..Just a heads up in case you didnt know, you can turn your camera upside down which puts the lens at the bottom closer to the ground. THEN looking up like that is a bit easier..THEN you can rotate the image later.
I'm by no means an expert, but if you take your phone and flip it upside down (so the lens is toward the road in the church with the bike shot), you can get even lower more easily. I love your videos. I'm working my way through your catalog since I found you a few weeks ago. :)
Love that you shared the whole experience of getting over to France, it appeals to my passion for travelling and photography. You've inspired me to get out and try to be more creative with my phone on my next trip, even if it won't be the lovely fields of France 😊 And your French is most definitely better than mine as well!
Another enjoyable biker video Mike :) My top tip for iPhone photography is to ditch Apple's stock 'Camera' app and use the camera that's part of the Lightroom Mobile app. It gives you much more specific control over exposure, shutter speed, ISO etc, and also it has a built-in digital spirit level which makes those low-down tilted shots much easier to frame up. In addition, it doesn't do quite as much of that HDR processing that the Camera app does, and lets you shoot in DNG rather than just JPG/HEIC format ...
Well that was extremely interesting Mike. What a lovely country and what a beautiful day you had for a ride on the 'Bird. One day you must come up to London and meet me and the rest of the gang from the famous 59 Club either at the HQ or The Ace Café and we can talk bikes/photography. Have a great trip.
Glad you enjoyed it @oc2phish07. That's a great idea! Please send your contact details to me via the website - link below... ... MIKE🙏😊🏍️ www.photographycourses.biz/contact
I have a top end Galaxy phone, but still consider the photos to be no more than snapshots. Even in raw, the tiny phone camera sensor just isn't up to the job in my opinion. For travel, I use a pocketable Canon G7X, which does a fine job. A nice journey to a lovely part of France though 😁😁
I also have a top end Galaxy phone and wholeheartedly agree with you. Top of the line Sony phones are a lot closer to a regular camera and it is something to consider on your next upgrade, as they are the only game in town that does not go heavy handed into computational photography.
Hi mike! I admire your videos and photos and your way of being, congratulations! I am also passionate about photography and I learned a lot from you. I worked on several contracts in the Birkenhead / Liverpool area, and an English colleague took me around Wales. Watching your videos, I fondly remember that peaceful atmosphere from England. I wish you good health and success in everything!
Wonderful ride. France is a beautiful place. Noticed that you clicked most of your pics in portrait. Any particular reason? The one of Mt. St Michel was great. By the way had been to Mt St Michel in2011. What a lovely place especially the Abbey.
This was a very enjoyable video, with the photos that you took, and the beautiful scenery that you passed. However, I have one nitpick, using pinch to zoom on your phone can drastically affect the final resolution of the photo. I've read that, if you use the crop function in your favourite editing app, instead, there is much less impact on the resolution of the final, cropped image.
this video using just your phone came at just the right time, i broke my wrist and can't use my camera at the moment, so all my photo's are with my phone, i call it my "one-handed" look, lol
Great Movie I admire your patience with the cell phone - when you have nothing else to hand they can work but hells bells the farting around and you can never see anything clearly :-( Suivez la piste encore Monsieur - Happy memories - Vive La France !!
Hi Mike. Beautiful area. When I worked the QE2 We often stopped at Cherbourg after leaving Southhampton, and I used to go off to different places for the day. I did 6 months on her.
@@MikeBrowne I have Mike. I did 10 years at sea and 5 times around the world. My two favourite places was Singapore and the Falklands Islands and South Georgia for wildlife and scenery. The first time at the Falklands was during the war. But the two our tours was fantastic.
I'll always hate taking pictures with my phone. Its 48 mp sensor doesn't change the awful ergonomics. For me it will always remain just an emergency camera for the few occasions when I for some obscure reason didn't bring a "real" camera. Still, thanks for the tips: Since I rarely use it, I had no idea how easy it is to change the exposure. I'm a bit envious of your bike trip. But I don't even have a licence to ride one. About 40 years ago I'd saved up some money for a license, but the taxman took it. And, well, I tend to bring too much gear anyway, so I really need a car. And being as old as I am (I think I'm several months older than you), it's too late anyway. I'd probably just kill or cripple myself if I ever got up on such a thing.
Yes the ergonoics of a phone are pretty bad. But there are tomes when they are super useful. I was down by the sea about to leave for home after running a workshop when some big black storm clouds suddenly parted and a shaft of light came in under them. Didn't have time to unpack the camera again but the phone saved the day - even though the quality isn't great, some image is better than no image... ... MIKE🙏😊
