Focus stacking with NO tripod gives me the worst anxiety possible! Props to yourself Will, I could NEVER!

Haha! Using a tripod gives me much worse than anxiety 😂 that comp just wouldn’t be possible with one, too close to the wall. Handheld stacking is a breeze, as long as you’re not bouncing around like a maniac 😆Thanks mate!

You're absolutely correct let the creativity kick in free the mind.

Awesome to watch and just really enjoyed it. Thanks William.

Had the pleasure of watching your interview with Nick Page this morning, really got a lot out of it. Decided to check out some of your work and wow those images from Bombo Quarry were amazing. Like your thoughts on shutter speeds for water movements, might not make the hand held at 1/3rd sec due to age and hand shakes, but enjoyed the way you have mastered it .🙌🙌👏👏

Haha, thank you Ken! Slowly filming less and less and utilising a videographer mate these days, just to allow me to concentrate on the more important stuff. Nothing worse then getting home and reviewing the footage and finding that the angle was off or I was chopping my head off 😂

Really enjoyed this Will and so true about the problem of tunnel-vision re a single composition mindset. I've found this at my local on the northern beaches (also shot there probably 50 -100 times) and still finding new compositions. One thing I find helps is to scout out the area during the afternoon/evening when the time constraints aren't as pressing and explore during a similar tide to what you'll have at sunrise. Given the light changes so fast at dawn it's often a bit of race to find a composition that works. Mind you I've been surprised how after the adrenaline rush of shooting the sunrise shots you can often find a new composition after sunrise that just works!

@WilliamPatinoPhotography

Жыл бұрын

Well said mate, and thanks again for your thoughts. I must admit, I work best 'under pressure' and in the heat of the moment, when I have less time to think and am just operating in a state of flow and instinct. Most of the time I don't even begin looking for a composition unless the light is doing its thing. Very different to how I first started out.

Went there about a week ago for sunrise. Amazing location. Not being very nimble I had to stay put but loved trying to get the waves crashing. You had great colour 👏

Love the video and images! One question for you, how do you stabilize your body to shoot slower shutter speeds you mentioned the images were at?

@WilliamPatinoPhotography

Жыл бұрын

You need a camera with stabilisation (IBIS), which most mirrorless bodies have. I haven’t used a tripod in years. Most people could get away without using one but it becomes a habit. I prefer not to use one as it frees me up creatively. Cheers.

Hey Will! I found your channel a few months ago and instantly fell in love with your videos! You are extremely talented and teach so clearly. My love for photography has only grown! I noticed in this video while watching you compose the shot that your view finder showed a very cool image. Do you usually shoot in manual white balance? And if so, do you try to shoot in a lower Kelvin than the auto would suggest? Obviously it depends on the environment, but with that gorgeous sunrise I was surprised by how cool the image was out of camera. I also noticed you switched to the 12-24mm from the 16-35mm. I am looking at buying the 16-35mm PZ but I did like the way the 12mm looked. How often do you take photos in that 12-16mm range that I would be missing?

@WilliamPatinoPhotography

Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much mate! Really appreciate it. I usually just leave the WB on auto and then adjust colour in post. See my latest grading video for an idea of my approach. Yeah I got the 12-24mm about a year or so ago. Where I live, it’s very handy for forest scenes and especially the steep mountain valleys. So it totally depends where you live and what you usually shoot. I use the 12-14mm range a lot though now. Only down side is the edges are much softer.

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography awesome, thanks for feedback! I appreciate it. Since I’m not typically by large valleys or mountains I’ll add the 16-35 to my current line up of a 100-400 and 28-75. Should be set from there. Keep killing it!

50mm or wider, I will get 1/10 sharp just about every time. Typically can shoot as slow as 1/4 if I’m on the wide angle. If you’re using a DSLR then you will need a tripod though.

How do you determine color temperature?
