Luke Cleland

Hi. I'm a wedding photographer based in Toronto. You'll probably hear a lot about weddings on here, film photography, and gear - but only the best and beautiful kind of gear. This channel is where I tell you everything I've learned since starting my photography career in 2013.

    Thanks for convincing me that the Z 24-70mm F4 is a great lens. Good review!

    Have you shot with Gary Fong at night in open space? No ceiling, nothing to bounce light off of. I have, shot many events at night and I can assure you Gary Fong works and it does diffuse light.

    I am not planning on buying it either. I already have the Plena 135mm & 50mm F1.2 and I get what I need done with those two. But of course, like you, I'd love to own it, just because.

    It can also be an amazing lens, but it's not a 50 mm, due to its size. I think it has been very stupid by Nikon doing a 50 mm with this size.. And the price is really crazy. No words. K.

    You can actually store the little Allen wrench tool in the included carrying case (there a small internal pouch), very helpful to avoid losing it while shooting!

    Hi Luke, love your channel, always nice to see how other photographers work. I’m a wedding photographer for 15 years now (in the Netherlands) our weddings are a bit different then in your country, but overall it’s the same. I was looking at your website and what struck me was that you take 80% of the photos vertically instead of in landscape format. Do you have a reason for that, or is it just your style?

    Well done Luke ! Taking 1 picture everyday for a year is much harder then it sounds. I did it for 45 days on my first try, next was 15 days ! Third time was the charm and I too, like you, made a book, but only for me, containing all my 366 photographs ❤

    Ha ha. So funny. I also didn't realize it came with the phone mount when I bought it. Ended up using the phone mount more than the regular mount. For more serious work you can get the standard ball head mount and replace the Peak mount with whatever you are currently using. I'd probably use tape to secure the wrench. You don't want to lose it because it also works on screws. I'd suggest a replacement phone mount and a replacement wrench set. They're not very expensive. [Tip: When setting up, open all clips at the same time. Reverse when closing. Saves a bit of time.] I have the carbon fiber version and it is light. Much lighter than the Gitzo carbon fiber I have.

    Awesome video. Your excitement is contagious too! And that is why we take photos, not for the perfect shot, but for the memories. Film lets us remember both the subject and the feeling we have as a photographer when we took the shot. I have an F100 and a D750 too and am just as excited as you each time I shoot!!! Enjoy and I’ll definitely watch more of your videos!

    6:29 - You appear to be a nice guy and appreciate your enthusiasm and instruction here.. But what's befuddling is that this happens to be the 6th Lightroom tutorial video I've watched on YT where the UI demonstrated looks NOTHING like the one I'm using - I'm only seeing 'Cloud' and 'Local' tabs up top. None of those links you're showing. I even hit the 'Help' up top to search for 'Develop' you mention. And nothing. Thanks Adobe! 😆 I only see 'Cloud' and 'Local'. As an aside - Why on this Green Earth would I want others looking at my photo edits in the Cloud ?!?!?!?! I'm using Adobe CC Lightroom 7.2 Mac. The UI I have is 100% COMPLETELY different. For time being I'll just stick with the tried-and-true opening the .ARW file in Photoshop and get all the editing controls I need from there. I mean honestly.. why use Lightroom when you can fine tune the RAW file in Photoshop anyways. 🤷‍♂

    Thank you! So you’re using a different adobe program. That is a simplified version of Lightroom. Called Lightroom Creative Cloud (CC). My tutorial and others you have watched it about adobe Lightroom Classic. You can use them together but they are different programs.

    Everyone listen to what he just said, it’ll make a HUGE difference in your photography. “I had my camera set to a FIXED daylight white balance level.” Making this change in my photography COMPLETELY changed my photos for the better. Do not rely on auto WB! I have my camera permanently set now at 53-56000 WB and my photos have improved DRAMATICALLY.
