Man this makes me miss summer and fall! The subjects you shoot and the types of lighting that you seek out is right up my alley. This was super cool to watch.
It's such a miserable day here today and that had me thinking the exact same thing as you, I super miss the summer! Thanks so much for your kind words, it's people like you who make the world a better place.
Thanks a lot for this nice video! The footage from the X-T3 looks really great, as well as the photos from the two Canon cameras! I own two analog cameras, a Nikon FE2 from the 1980s and a Leica M6 from the 90s. Both are great cameras and it’s pretty hard for me to decide which one I like more😇🥳.
With the Nikon FE2 you had my curiosity but wihh the Leica M6 you have my attention (django unchained joke). I've always wanted a Leica M6, what's your favorite thing about each of those two cameras?
Well, on both cameras I like the design. The Nikon has this classical SLR design, very similar to your Canon AE1, and the Leica, well, has this gorgeous rangefinder design, very clear and unobtrusive without the “SLR-hump”. On the technical side, I like the Nikon because I can shot the camera in aperture priority mood with up to a 4000/sec. On a sunny day this is really nice and an advantage over the Leica that can’t compete with just a 1000/sec maximum shutter speed. But the Leica is much more silent than the Nikon. Without the clapping mirror and the cloth shutter the sound is very smooth. And of course - the lenses. The Nikon lenses are great and small compared to the newest autofocus lenses (especially in the fullframe league), but compared to a m-mount Leica lens they are quite big (although not heavy). So each camera has its pros and cons, and as I wrote before, it’s difficult to choose one over the other. I prefer to say, it’s good to own both😇😉👋.
Owning both is definitely the right attitude. I think there is something just so stylish about the Leica that would have me wanting to use it every time I see it. I have a couple of cameras that slap hard like your nikon, kinda frightened me the first time I heard it 😅 when it comes to digital cameras I'm currently looking at the fujifilm x100v, I certainly don't need it... but god do I want it.
Actually, I own a X100F - and it's a wonderful little camera. I think today, the Fuji X100 and the X-Pro series are the closest thing to a Leica without being a Leica;-). And for sure, if you like to take a camera in your hand and go out and shoot, than it will improve your photography, too!
So I had originally made that edit to "You suck Charlie" by Joji but that would get me in trouble so I instead went with "HDBeenDope" by BYRD because its part of epidemic sounds audio library. I think it kinda worked out a bit better that way. The tricky part was finding a song that matched the same bpm but the editing gods must have been smiling upon me.
