This is the best comment I've ever seen! Loved your shootout video with Lee btw! The image with the birds, and that balcony shot were both incredible!

@gilberthenri9441 6 лет назад

This video is also a great example of the compression brought by the use of the 300mm and 400mm settings. Thanks guys, great job as usual.

@StevenSSmith 6 лет назад

I don't know if you've heard but lens compression is not a thing. I saw it on the internet. 2:18

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

Lens compression is not a thing. The effect is caused by standing far away from your subject. The lens just allows me to fill my sensor with only the subject matter I want so I don't have to crop :) #perspectivecompression

Backrolls are looking good, Lee. You've got plenty of time; throw an extra 90 degree rotation in there and you'll have some backroll-to-toesides down (they look stylin AF).

@HS-fk6hb 6 лет назад

This lens or the Sigma varient? Most important thing for me is IQ, planning to buy one of these... Or is there a better alternative? Thanks!

@jibzouth 6 лет назад

Mr Hist I have tested both (on a D750). I compared them at 100,200,300 and 400mm wide open. The sigma was sharper at 100 and 400mm and a bit sharper at 300mm. At 200 they are about the same. If you stop down the tamron to f8, they are almost identical.. On the other hand you can use a tripod collar with the tamron which is a huge plus

@HS-fk6hb 6 лет назад

Tomas Aamli thank you very much for clarifying! And is it true that the Tamron has better AF? If so, is the Sigma good enough for BIF?

@Nicofoto 6 лет назад

Mr Hist I've tried both and yes the tamron is significantly better in AF.

@HS-fk6hb 6 лет назад

Nico Dewantara it's a hard choice between these two... 🙁

@jibzouth 6 лет назад

Mr Hist the tamron had a little bit better AF. But to me image quality was more important (wide open).. I dont shoot a lot of birds. I returned the tamron.. But the tamron is not a bad lens, it just was not the one me and my use

@technomaniac1992 6 лет назад

Nice shots, although i would let the ambient light one stop brighter for my taste :P

@gordonjohnston684 6 лет назад

If it was me, I would but the camera and lens in a plastic shopping bag. Cut a hole in the bottom of the bag, pop the frount of the lens through the hole and use a couple of large elastic bans to hold the bag in place. Shoot through the back of the bag. This is bit of Heath Robinson idea but the camera would survive a splash. I have done this my self. I have also used cline film to cover the camera body!

@jensritchie 6 лет назад

Bruh, Patrick always pack your gear I don't have much, but what I do have I pack all the time, everywhere I go so I can pull something off. Even if the conditions are not right, I can still make something happen.

What af settings using for watersports with this lens to make sure you have your subject sharp?

@simplevvay 6 лет назад

Nice! But I would try to mix the ground in photoshop to eliminate the circles from the lights on the ground... however the photo is great!

@ParadoxdesignsOrg 6 лет назад

Some of my best shots were done from hundreds of feet away :)

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

You know, I have attempted so many super telephoto shots and I feel like they give me the most trouble. Besides sports and wildlife, I have a very hard time finding subject matter where I want to zoom in 300-500mm. I see other photographers with incredible long telephoto shots which makes me appreciate their work even more but for me I really struggle with it sometimes.

@chmalownikpl 6 лет назад

@hawg427 6 лет назад

@ericknorpp8238 6 лет назад

Too bad the Beauty dishes were made for the older "better" Profoto heads. The new inset flash bulbs stink in my opinion for most all of the profoto modifiers, But especially for the beauty dish. I always pull out my Pro7 heads when using the beauty dish myself. The light is much much better. Supposedly there is a glass extender or something that helps a little but never tried it myself. But your finally shot looks good.

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

We did a test of this theory a few videos back on our channel. I found no difference between a head that sticks out and the B1 head. If there is a difference, it's like 5% at best. I love Profoto but to me this is a marketing trick that photographers eat up.

@ericknorpp8238 6 лет назад

I have been shooting professionally for over 25 years with Profoto and my speciality is Beauty, so I beg to differ with you. But your probably right, the average Joe shooter would not notice the difference. That is why their top packs, Pro8's, Pro 10's,still have the extended flash tube for a good reason and why they are called "Pro" heads. On a side note, it does not take Einstein to figure out the spread of light is not the same as the closed flash tube. Specially for their Octobanks and beauty dishes. It is science and spread of light, Not opinion.

@phaskellhall 6 лет назад

Eric Knorpp we only tested the extended glass dome for the B1 and couldn’t see a difference at all. Maybe the pro heads make a bigger difference....might have to do a test on those

@ericknorpp8238 6 лет назад

That makes sense, The answer above "I found no difference between a head that sticks out and the B1 head" was not clear. That is why I did not buy it for my "cheaper" flash heads. I wasn't trying to argue with anybody, just stated my professional opinion. Your final shot was nice in any case. Good job.

@davidlevine5773 6 лет назад

I thought that the shots with a partial kite during actual kite surfing were good and action-ly. The clever thing would have been to take the land picture toward the ocean (in the morning) so it could be cropped to appear that he was actually actively kite surfing.

@wilsontique 6 лет назад

Great tips, but for an amateur photographer like my self, it's hard to get all the lights and rest of the equipment shown in this video. Cool stuff!!

@phaskellhall 6 лет назад

You can use speedlights or any strobes really. Don't get caught up in the gear (well except the lens, you do need a lens to zoom in to get the same effect).

@arbolplantadoproductions2901 6 лет назад

I shoot volleyball games, and I use a 70- 200. The camera the I use is a Nikon d750. Is it normal that the lens sometimes, not always, slows down a bit when I take the pictures? Most of the times the courts are badly light and I need to go very high on my Iso

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

Slows down in terms of frames per second or in terms of hunting for focus?

@arbolplantadoproductions2901 6 лет назад

Frames per second. It is not as bad as with my GH5, when I try to use it for sports photography.I have to shoot on ISO 3200 and there the rapid shutter won't work at all It will take 3 per second. Thanks for the reply!

@vimalneha Год назад

Some good background compression, but the Tamaron lens has failed miserably to produce sharp images.

@ArtKingjr 6 лет назад

Is shooting with a 400 as sensitive as shooting with a macro lens?

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

It depends. When I shoot with a macro lens, I'm using a TON of flash which allows things to be super sharp because of the fast flash duration. Essentially the flash becomes your shutter. However, if you are shooting with natural light like insects out in the wild, then yes, you will need a fast shutter to freeze your action. Shooting telephoto can be problematic too if your shutter gets too slow.

@WarChortle 6 лет назад

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

Lens compression isn't real. Stepping back and using perspective compression is real. Distance to subject compresses, not lenses :)

@Dmsstudios64 6 лет назад

hold the camera up by the monopod lol

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

I'm always nervous to ever take my hands off the camera body when on skyscrapers, helicopters, or above water. I trust the tripod plates but if they fail, that's a lot of gear that is instantly ruined.

@00BlackPanther88 6 лет назад

Or with two hands (one on body, one on lens) above your head. May be incl. a plastic bag over it. Better deal than splish-splashed by a huge wave... oh... yes.. you were splashed by a wave :D Hope your gear is fine!

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

Yeah it's fine, it didn't really get wet wet but enough to where I didn't want to proceed any further. David scouted out this "easy to reach sandbar" a few days before but I wasn't convinced the sandbar had moved during those days inbetween.

@RealHankShill 5 лет назад

Ah... watching this video after a video about how lens compression doesnt exist is perfect...

@FStoppers 5 лет назад

Lens compression doesn't exist, perspective compression does :) Note, I had to move my body further and further to get the effect I wanted, I didn't simply use another lens to create "magic compression" - P

@ruelapas6240 4 года назад

@caltetm1891 6 лет назад

A pitty you didn"t show /take pictures from day three that would have been epic as you said... Somehow the composition of the final shot is not working for me.,I don't see the connection to the model, it's more a colored background however the light composition is great.

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

I wanted to shoot in the storm but everyone packed up their gear right when I got in the ocean. Also the ambient light was so dark (as you can see from my cell phone videos that day). I would have had to shoot at ISO 6400 at least in that situation and because no direct sunlight was being cast through the clouds at all, the kiteboarder would have been lit super flat despite the sky behind him being epic. -P

@danield416 6 лет назад

4 weeks ago you made video titeled "Lens compression doesn't exist...", and now in this one, you have used that expression at least twice! Why? How? I dont get it🤔😒😕🙃

@FStoppers 6 лет назад

I don't believe I ever said "lens compression" in this video and if I did, well that's a mistake. The effect I'm manipulating is perspective compression which is caused by move my body far away from my subject. It would be the same effect regardless of what lens I was using but having a 100-400mm lens allows me to "crop" into the scene more so I don't have to digitally crop my actual photo. The lens isn't doing anything special, it's me actually stepping further away that's doing the trick. The lens just lets me shoot the composition I want.

@dsdave07 5 лет назад

You need a weather resistant Olympus and their superb 300mm f4. I can't be sure, but that Tamron thing looks a little soft at full extension. Even their 40-150 would give you a 300mm equivalent, with f 2.8 to boot!
