I love this! So much passion about her work. What an impressive photographer.

Sports is very difficult. You wait for a special moment with no idea when it will happen. Then you have a very short window to get the shots and keep everything sharp. Fast frame rate with great autofocus is a must. I like R5 because it gives enough quality to shoot wider and crop to better tell the story. More options when you got one chance to get it.

Absolute legend. Elsa is amazing.

Very interesting. Facinating to hear how Elsa's understanidng of a sport get used to anticiapte where to capture these fleeting moments. Thanks MPB for this.

Thank you for this. It would have been nice to hear you talk about the autofocus techniques you use. That is one thing many of us amateurs struggle with - which setting to use in which situation.

Elsa keep up the good work !!!!!! i love the baseball reference. Yankees fan till the day i die ! It's truly a beautiful game that many don't know how is operated. you are my inspiration. Thanks for making this video.

Excellent photography. Did anyone else notice The (partial) Canon banner in the background of the Brock Holt shot?

As a photographer this is fun

Had no idea MPB had a YT channel. Great vid btw.

Learned why shooting rollers of cars got more difficult when I switched from a Nikon D40 to a Sony A7iv. Panning is harder with mirrorless when you aren't used to it.

Pan shots is why I still shoot my motorsports on a D3 rather than a Z series body as well. Just find the OVF intuative there. And I can't afford the top tier Z9 type cameras which (supposedly) bridge this gap.

Dream job!

Do you use back button focus?

Hi: Thanks for the video.. I'm curious why you don't use the electronic shutter on the 1DX MK III?

@breezyjr

Жыл бұрын

Ok, this is a guess based on what she said in the video... I'm guessing because she wants the behavior of a "real" shutter. She even mentioned, she felt it was better when panning the 1DX vs electronic shutter. It probably is just a different "feel," if that makes sense.

6:25 how do you get 3 people all in focus? I use back button focus and when you set it on one person then the rest are blurred...

@mpbcom

You can try using a smaller aperture (f/11 or smaller) to increase the depth of field. On the photo you mentioned all three people are roughly on the same distance from the camera and it makes it easier to have them all in focus. Thank you for watching! - Jakub

Awesome works. I wonder how you compare the R3 and the 1DX III.

@arshotsphotography

Жыл бұрын

Prior 1DX MKIII owner and now full mirrorless. The R3 destroys the 1DX line, faster AF, shutter, colors, sharpness, i can keep going. it is worth converting.

​@@arshotsphotography Yep. Coming from a 5D4, I felt the improvement in color on a visceral level. I still remember the color that first day with it on the court. Same warmth that Canon is known for but something was different, more real. Maybe it was just the added dynamic range, but it could immediately discern the difference between a glossy yellow-amber gym floor and a room of orange benches in a way that was confident, genuine and correct. To truely absorb the AF takes some mental realignment.

That's about 30K in gear alone

did she buy all that gear by herself? or Getty Images provide them?

I"m sure she purchased it herself. From the few photographers I know, they don't get equipment allowances. So, that's like, $18k in bodies, and $25k + for the lenses.

Yes. Sports photography always involves attitude swimming in a sea of luck. ....which is why I spend hours practicing things like focus-picking out of a crowd, or attaching lens hoods without looking in a few seconds, or 200 shots rehearsing the depth of field at a particular bend in the track before they get there: To improve those odds.

Bragging about a Megan soccer pic? Shut you off after that. She’s a traitor
