Hi William: I just found and subscribed to your channel. I really liked your teaching style and approach to this subject. Your images as spectacular. Well done! Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Hi William, seriously you should have a load more followers, been watching your channel over the weekend and its very insightful. Keep up the great work.
This helped me decide that I need an ultra-wide. With respect to composition & subjective aesthetics, do you ever break your own rules such as 'leading the eye' and 'harmony' (rocks on either side instead of one) in order to create an affect such as 'tension'? Aesthetics is a fascinating (mystical) subject with no right or wrong answers, the essence of all art, in the pursuit of the 'sublime'. If you have these kinds of pics, perhaps a video dedicated to displaying them is a good idea. Thanks & cheers mate.
Thanks friend. Yes there’s certainly moments where any established guideline can be thrown out the window. It’s hard to teach those specific scenarios because they’re incredibly subjective and often derived from instinct more than anything else.
I really enjoy your videos Will, I have purchased your Master Class and hope to get into it soon however in the meantime these short videos are awesome. Thanks again for your efforts. 🙏🏻
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography I ordered a Canon 6D Mark II, but the camera and lenses had to be shipped from Hong Kong so I haven't received either. The 6Dii is a bit of an older model now (released about 5 years ago), but I feel more comfortable with old style mirrored cameras :)
May I ask a question, Mr. Patino? Do you feel that a wide angle lens/ digital camera setup....is equivalent to, or as good as, the "good old days" of using a view camera with lens tilt/shift capability. I remember using a 4x5 twenty years ago...but I rarely see landscape images that include foreground elements that you describe. I feel that foreground elements add so much to a landscape image, but so many landscape photographers I follow on RU-vid do not create those images. ...but that is just my opinion. 🙂
Opportune timing for me. After seeing an earlier video I bought the latest Tokina 11 - 20mm wide angle and are very impressed with the depth of field Sharp from close up to the distance and at the moment I have been using f8 but will try f11. One little tip - I thought I had lost the lens cap and was using it without it in my bag but had forgotten to wipe the lens when I used it. Due to it's sharpness from front to back not only is the subject sharp but also dust particles on your lens. I have not had a lens where this was so pronounced before.
Nice one. F/8 will be fine until you get closer to the first subject matter, then f/11 would be the go to. Always shoot and review afterwards by zooming in to know for sure. Being ultra close you’ll then need a focus stack. All the best with it mate :)
@@nosamsemaj I Love it It maintains its aperture for all distances and I found it tack sharp on the canon M5 I have just purchased a Fujifilm XT4 with an adapter for my Canon lenses and it is working just as well on this camera Even better the XT4 has very good IBIS so are able to use it at quite low shutter speeds.
Have you used the Tokina 11-20 lens? How soft are details in the distance. I have been using a 28mm prime on a APS-c camera and stacking panoramas to get the detail and wonder if this would give me the same detail.
Only the 11-16 f/2.8 which I definitely recommend if you have a crop body. Sharp as a tack, good price and relatively light. 28mm on a crop doing panos doesn’t sound too fun!
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Thanks I was looking at the Tokina 11 - 20 as an alternative as the 16 - 23 III is not wide enough and as you say it will be lighter and a better price. BTW I really enjoyed the video and picked up a couple of points I had not considered before.
Hi William, Tokina don't appear to make that lens with a Sony e-mount. Alternatively I found that there is a new Tamron 11-20mm f2.8 Di III-A RXD - Sony E-Mount. Do you know anything about it and whether it would be a good alternative purchase? I've been taking my landscapes with a Sigma art 24-70, making panos when necessary, to date. thanks
Hi Fiona. That’s a shame. Personally I haven’t used or heard about the Tokina 11-20mm, however I have a Tokina 28-75mm for my full frame and have used some of their other lenses and I definitely rate them. I think the 11-20mm would be a good investment for you and open up so many more possibilities :)
Thanks Doug. From my understanding, that only applies to jpeg but ether way, lens correction (even in post) is typically good for fixing horizon lines and vignetting but the general warp from the lens will always be present, particularly on the downward tilt.
Oy mate! How do you feel about panorama shots composed with multiple images? High res & no perspective distortion but not nearly as convenient as wide angle lenses. :)
Quite a hassle to do that and it doesn’t allow you to get ultra close to the foreground subject. Getting close emphasises a linear perspective and pulls the eye into the frame. Very hard to achieve doing a stitched pano.
I don't think that's how rainbows work. Rainbow plane is always perpendicular to the line stretching from you to the rainbow center. Is it photoshopped?
