My first serious camera was a Minolta X-370 with 2 lenses, the basic Minolta 50mm and I had a generic 70-210mm lens and with the doubler it was a fantastic set up. That set up along with a John Hedgcoe book, and I could write a book about the fun and learning journey I took with that set up. Alas I sold it, and do now regret that. I did manage to replace the John Hedgecoe book a few years back with a copy in good nick I found on line.

I started doing photography before image stabilization was available. So, using a tripod is second nature to me. I got tired of small travel tripods not being stable enough and went back to using a full size tripod. But, I think I've found a cheap simple way to make smaller tripods more stable. Just loop one end of a long strap around the top of the tripod, let the strap hang on the ground, then step on the strap at a point causing tension on the tripod. The tripod will not move while you are standing on the strap. I use a yoga strap which come in various lengths.

Great segment on traditional film in old style cameras. As an ex-Kodak Lab man myself, I installed the worlds last wholesale photofinishing laboratory. Can I just reinforce the warning about rem jet. Designed as an antihalation layer to absorb light which has passed through the film avoiding halos around point sources & highlights, DO NOT send these films through to your local lab e.g. Snappy Snaps, Boots, Walgreens, etc. for this kind of lab, this type of film can cause a hell of a mess with black rem jet all over other peoples films. Otherwise, have fun, this is a great way to use film.

Ultra Panavision 70, where you can fully immerse yourself in the glory of film, 65mm that is. Movies like, Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra,2001 A space Odyssey and Hateful eight. There is something about the film. Great show folks and great to see the love of film photography.

Yes but they tend to be more expensive, so it just depends if you want to spend more money and do C-41 or spend less and do ECN-2.

Here is a factor you left out of your shutter speed discussion. 1 over the focal length is a good starting point, BUT not when your subject is moving! If you are shooting a moving subject (car, airplane, etc) then 4 over the focal length is a better place to start, with long lenses especially! Also, many have commented that turning off the IS when on a tripod is the proper choice, but again, it depends. If you have your rig on a tripod and it is windy out, it may be better to leave it on. The wind wrecks havoc to cameras on a tripod more than we think, Best advice there is shoot exposure(s) with it on, and then again with it off. Then check in post.

@PhotographyOnline

Жыл бұрын

You are correct about the IS being useful when on a tripod in windy conditions Gordon. You comment about a moving subject depends how fast it is moving across the sensor (not the speed it is actually moving). A distant plane can be travelling at 500mph but moving across the sensor very slowly, so it totally depends on the situation. This feature wasn't about capturing moving subjects though, it was about handhold a lens instead of using a tripod. Obviosuly you wouldn't use a tripod for a moving subject. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. All the best.

Harry is only struggling because he is looking through a 5Ds manual for an R5 camera 🤣 Great show though

One question I still wrestle with: does it ever make sense to use IS on a tripod? I think the question is complex. Older cameras (think Canon 5d ii and 5d iii) lacked IBIS, but the EF lenses of the day had IS. However, there was advice floating around among photographers of those days saying you shouldn't turn IS on for a lens that was mounted on a tripod. The explanation was that the electronics in the lens were designed solely for the sort of vibration that arises from hand-holding the camera, and that when IS attempted to compensate for vibration coming up the legs of the tripod, it could actually make matters worse. Certainly the properties of those two types of vibration are very different: tripod vibration is probably one or several orders of magnitude faster than that from hand-holding. However, now that IS design is about ten years further down the road, and IBIS is added to the mix, I strongly suspect things are different today. IBIS in particular, which moves the sensor, is moving far less mass than the IS in a lens, which has to move entire optical elements. So, I'd say that today, turning on IBIS (at least) might help a shot on a tripod that's subject to wind, or which is set up on a raised boardwalk in a preserve or a national park. Comments?

@PhotographyOnline

Жыл бұрын

Hi Rahul. There's nothing wrong with a crop sensor camera, but depending on what kind of photography you want to do, then it may (or may not) limit you. For example, if you want to do portraits and get super shallow DOF and nice creamy bokeh, then the larger the sensor, the easier this is. Also if you want to shoot super wide for achitecture etc, then a crop sensor will limit your lens choice far more than FF. But if none of these are an issue, then don't worry about changing your camera, as it may not make much difference. Hope this helps and good luck.

Now being from the States I know we speak the same sometimes. Marcus states that the film is ISO. ISO is a term used for digital and film is ASA. He has done this in the past also.

Hi Richard. ASA became ISO in 1974, long before digital was even a twinkle in Steven Sasson’s eye. Film has been marked as ISO ever since, but older films (maybe up until the 1990s) were also marked with an ASA/DIN rating. There is no separation between film and digital when it comes to ISO and ASA. It’s just that digital wasn’t around in the ASA days so has only ever been ISO. Hope that clears it up. (Marcus)

I have been a wildlife photographer for around 40 years, so well before such things as IS. For me, holding a camera correctly is critical because a tripod often does not lend itself to the dynamic situation of tracking animals so technique is really critical. A lot of people are coming into photography from the cellphone platform. I often see them holding the camera like a phone - that is, held away from the body, looking through the rear LCD. That might work for the shorter focal length lenses of phones and some cameras, but the longer the focal length the greater the leverage on the body and the harder it is to control the heavier telephoto lenses. It can take some persuading to get someone to hold the camera close the body, hand under the lens, eye to the viewfinder and arms tucked tightly into the body. I hold my own arms much tighter to my chest than your example - I have the upper arm right in contact with my chest. The other thing is breathing. Breathing out before taking the shot means the torso is much less likely to move. I agree that better gear, in itself, will not make one a better photographer. Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) is a characteristic I often see when people are highly demanding of features of cameras under the belief that the lack of technology is suppressing their own latent genius. Better gear will help a good photographer in specific instances: telephoto lenses for wildlife to get tighter shots of subjects without getting too close, good macro lenses, fast lenses for portraiture. Yet, I have taken images that I am proud of with relatively humble equipment. From time to time, I still shoot with camera gear from 2000 - to demonstrate that good photography is more about technique than the tech. Much depends on what one is going to produce - the investment to produce extremely large, high resolution Fine Art images is going to be greater than for posting on line, in social media, or for digital display.

Hi Julian. It makes no difference what size the sensor is as the reciprocal rule is focal length dependent. For exampole, if using a 50mm lens on a MFT camera, you would get exactly the same amount of camera movement as you would on a FF camera or a medium format one. It's a myth that different sensor sizes provide different magnifications for the same focal length. All that is happening is that the smaller sensor sizes are cropping the image, but the actual reproduction image is exactly the same.
