    I use a 50mm lens for landscapes for one reason, it portrays naturally without the distortions from the wider angle lenses...!

    Was at a location during a sunset. Every photographer was looking out toward the sun setting. But the real shot was when I turned the other way and caught the setting suns light on the clouds and landscape BEHIND me. Agree, do not focus on one obvious thing, look around.

    The fact is that you do not own the beach, and should not expect people to give up what they are doing to accommodate you. You are not more important than them in any manners. If you want people to not get into your frame, go earlier.

    @@BonciuToma the fact is that you came after them, not before. If you came first and they walked into your frame, that would have been a completely different story. How would you feel if you arrived early to get in the right position and someone arrived later and then asked you to give up your position?

    6 mistakes to avoid: 1. Overexpose in harsh light 2. Underexpose in low light 3. Ignore white balance 4. Not paying attention to shadow 5. Not expose for light 6. Not place subject in the light.

    May I ask what metering mode did you use to make a moody look? Did you need to use spot metering? Usually matrix metering would even out the light condition and the look is flat.

    I took the same picture with a fuji X-E1 and a fuji X-A5. E1 is 16 mp and A5 is 24 mp. The E1 photo was nice and clean and the A5 photo was very mushy and full of noise. In fact the E1 photo had a lot more details in the shadows. And in the A5 photo the highlights was blown out. I find I am pushed towards using older cameras with low pixel counts like eos 5D mark 1 and 20D and its confusing.

    The most important tip is the one that you did not mention: Rotate about the nodal point of the lens to avoid parallax errors. This point is the entry pupil of the lens and is best determine experimentally. A nodal mount is required. This is a simple extension that moves the camera back so that the nodal point is over the tripod's rotation point.

  • @BonciuToma
    @BonciuTomaАй бұрын

    If you go above 35mm or 50mm the nodal point is not that important anymore. That is why I didn't mention it. I said go above 35mm. To rotate around the nodal point you need a panoramic head. It's a very important concept but for many it creates problems of understanding and sometimes it gets in the way of the crrative process. Thanks for point it out though. It ads a lot to the information

    Tilt/shift lenses are the best landscape lenses. Shots fits perfectly together, you can correct perspective and no need to turn your camera with tripod etc.

    Toma, we both enjoy photographing trails in the forest. There are a lot of panoramas of grand views outside of the forest. I like the idea of doing a panorama inside the forest and including a trail. I hope you will discuss this in more detail in the future. I'm curious how you handle getting everything in focus when you have plants and trees that are very close and will be included in the panorama. Can you also do a panorama with your camera close to the ground? Also, what do you think are the best sizes for panoramas?

  • @BonciuToma
    @BonciuTomaАй бұрын

    I like to do panoramas of 5 shots, although 6 would make a wider view that is a classic panorama. I tried to do a panorama close to the ground but I didn't stiched it yet to see how it looks. Because the focal length is higher than 35mm (often above 50mm) the planta cloae to me are not in the frame

    I only recently discovered Michael Kenna, and was immediately smitten. A point he emphasizes in many of his interviews is how helpful it is to study the work of other photographers, to the degree that he has gone to the locations used by some of his favorites, immersing himself fully in their oeuvre. Very much like what you're doing in your "Learn From Other Artists" series. I stumbled on this one while searching Michael Kenna. I'll now move on to the next! Thank you for your analysis of Michael's approach. A good distillation.

    It looks like you took an otherwise boring shot and made it magic with post-processing. If you could do a video on that, it would be helpful. It looks like you did heavy vignetting and cranked up the contrast. Thanks for your videos!

    Excellent tips so thanks! One thing I took away from your photos is that even the examples of when NOT to convert to B&W still looked awesome. Looking forward to your other videos. I find that photography in the forest is the most challenging subject matter. Mine forest shots all look boring but granted, catching the forest on a foggy day is no simple task for the hobby photographer.

    🌺🌻🌺 As you and others have said before, take the time to figure out what ones eye is actually catching within the whole of what your eye is seeing.... or something like that. I miss it often but thanks to cropping within software I can train myself to see what I was seeing and not all that my eye saw.

    OK, I have lived here forever... there are no "grand vistas", nothing exceptional and nothing much of interest. I've been all over my area in my 70 plus years. While I do take pictures where I can but its not much fun. Not very compelling views. hum drum to say the least. Oh well. carry on. Good video. Great points and made me think differently so maybe I can do better with my black and white next outing.

    enjoying this ( thank you), until you suggested photo stacking = cheating / dishonest that what AIs do, they are false. If we do that, lets give the whole thing to a tin box AI and take the humanity out of photography. i will use lightroom to correct weaknesses in my camera's representation of what human eyes do with the world. that's enough.Use tools to express what i thought i saw.

    The extra knob on the head, just below the arca Swiss clamp looks like it is for panoramas. No need for a levelling plate/ball, just get the camera level using the ball head , lock it tight. Then pan the camera around by loosening that extra knob. Or perhaps it’s designed for another purpose?
