Well I’d like to know how much gear have you got

The only video that you've posted that matters.

Feet 🐾 don't zoom 👈🏼

In summary, just get out and take some damn pictures

You could really apply this video to any hobby . Thanks ! Well said

Tamron 35-150f2-2.8, Sony 200-600. Done. [Bonus Lens = 24mm f1.4]

I shot jpeg for years then went to Raw which the files are much larger, now I shoot Craw which is basically a Raw file but a smaller file.

Excellent video - you nailed it. I even want to reduce time in front of Lightroom and other tools to have more time for taking photos and practizing composition.

I would say that Ansel Adams spent more time in the dark room developing the few plates gathered on field trips, being a large format camera his weapon of choice. A master of the whole process of landscape photography, from measuring the light, taking the image and then processing. My point is that he didn't just go out and take plenty of photos and hope to get the perfect image but understood how to the get perfect image the first time. In the digital age, that is the skill that is neglected.

What about Astrophotography? Is high megapixel necessary for clean and sharp looking deep space objects? Could you explain?

Amazing tips! What tripod was that? It looked nice to rotate the camera without moving the tripod so much

If you’re photographing small birds at a great distance every megapixel counts. Other photographers have it easy wildlife is where the boundaries are being pushed

I’d like to see improvements in high dynamic range of the sensor.

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Your thumbnail shows the photographers index finger on top of the peak design tab, not the shutter button. Are you even trying?

Megapixels matter when blowing up or zooming in on a picture!!!!!!

Hi man, what equipment do you use to film your videos? The imagen looks great. Thanks!

Nonsense. You get so many more details in landscape photography with more megapixels.

Ok agree. Taking photos each day best way improve

What I prefer to do is use a combination of auto-iso limit (6400 usually) and minimum shutterspeed limit (between 1/50 and 1/250 depending on the situation). I keep both settings in MyMenu for easy access (that’s how Olympus calls it, not sure what’s the name in Sony)

...and always carry a camera!

Cropping is a lazy way of photography. But then so is all digital photography. Believing edits and plugins can make photos and photographers better. What a lie and marketing scam it all is. Cropping like everything in digital is a celebration of short cuts, lack of competence and mediocrity. Just use film like i do and be a real photographer where knowledge and craft count

Actually, switching from one UA-cam video to another is the hard process, because no matter what the investment is, it does not end up with a photo taken. I agree with most of the things you said, just believe there is some minimal gear that one needs, and it's a digital camera capable of shooting unlimited images, rather than an analog one with just a roll of film. Analog phototherapy requires a more focused approach, and the learning curve is different with such a limitation. Personally, I love limitations but for anyone scrolling through dozens of videos, it may be better not to have such a limit.

that was a long winding way of saying "practice, practice, practice" 😆 and "practice makes perfect.". Really, mistakes ight be more useful for progression than a good photo.

Pixels do matter. Try making a 30”x40” print or larger from a low resolution image.

I am ashamed to admit it, but your descriptive message resonated painfully spot on with me.... I needed to hear this.

so true...10,000 0r more?

m43 user here - I crop a lot, but I do it optically. I just turn the zoom ring on my 12-100 lens :D

I feel the first minute was a personal violation against me.

I have taken pictures a long time ago with the first professional Nikon D1 (5 MP?) and still those pictures are of extremely good quality! So I agree that Megapixels do not say everything!

I agree with you. You need to be out shooting photographs. Lots of them. You need to be challenging yourself.

I think you should give up now……

Take. More. Photos. You never know what gem you'll find. I was in Downtown Pittsburgh one night, and the autofocus was misbehaving on a certain lens. I was about to give up and go elsewhere, but I decided to swap to the plain old Nifty Fifty to salvage *something* from that stop. Turned out to be one of the best photos I've taken all year.

Speaking to the choir (assuming I am the choir 😄 ) . Which is another way of saying everything you're presenting here resonates. I was once asked to help get a novelist off his writer's block. So I went and visited him and told him, the way to get off his writer's block is to write. Same with photography. The way to develop one's photography skills is to take photos.

This is it

Absolutely true. More photos. Side comment. Some of my photos that gave me more satisfaction come from randomly taking my gear when I was out for entirely different business. Like the lake in the morning before dawn when I chaffeured my wife to work and saw fishermen undocking in the limelight. Or a murky bench in front of an ill-placed church in a place I went to buy a tree for my house. So my humble advice is, besides going out intentionally, carry some decent gear with you more often at odd times.

Great tutorial. Two things to add; whip the cpl off before you start and make sure the focus point is consistent.

I keep buying gear because im trying to make myself feel something, used to be more out going but losing interest in things so I recommend spending your money on useless gear if you like to shop; but thanks for the pep talk.

You are talking tooooo fast to catch up. Please slow down.

My opinion: the more pixel you have, the better results you get when „photoshopping“. When you take AI, pixel matter also. But my opinion is also, 99% of users need a resolution for smart phones ans pads which is 12MB to date. Me? -> 50MB

The reality is that it's easy to take a photo. Some people have an 'eye' for composition. An individual will go out as many or as few times as they want. Why are there so many blokes trying to tell others what to do?

300 dpi come from the offset printing industry. That resolution was needed for printing in 4 ink colours at a 150 lines per inch dot screen, that crazy rosette pattern you can see when looking through a loupe at a colour image in a magazine, say. For digital printing it's irrelevant. It existed as a standard before any digital imagery was commonplace. An inch is about 25mm. So at 300 dpi each pixel is less than a tenth of a mm square. That's a huge resolution. I come form a graphic design background and images for offset print were preferably 300 dpi. If it was going to be some kind of digital print at close inspection, 200 dpi was ample. Each pixel will be 1/8 mm square. often 100 dpi was fine, and for large signage projects where no would be paying attention from any less than 5 or 10 metres, 50 dpi was completely acceptable. Quite lo-res images could be blown up pretty large with good results. I used to print segments of images at full scale, and look at them from an appropriate distance to judge. Even 25 dpi was often fine, as each pixel will be 1mm square. It's all about viewing distance. Not many people seemed to understand this.

Great video. I started going out more often this year shooting birds, landscapes and any other wildlife I can see. Taking more photos has made a big difference.

Personally, I find that the sunny f/16 rule tends to underexpose the image, at least in the UK. It needs to be VERY bright sun for it to work. On the other hand, I find that I often need to underexpose to avoid blown highlights. Fortunately, my current mirrorless camera shows me blown highlights at the stage when I am taking the picture. I once used the sunny f/16 rule to take a picture of the moon, reasoning that the moon is in bright sunlight. The moon came out very dark. I had forgotten that the moon is made of fundamentally dark material, so if you use the sunny f/16 rule then inevitably it will come out dark in the picture. The moon only looks bright at night because it's brighter than everything else.

I am going to take your advice and stop watching your videos 😂

That's not how you're supposed to use the sunny 16 rule, telling people to use those settings and go shoot away is a recipe for disappointment since they'll go back home with very soft images and a heck of a lot of motion blur shooting at 1/200s or 1/100s since some may even try that. They are supposed to use that as a baseline, pick a shutter speed appropriate for what they are shooting and then use the aperture to compensate the same number of stops they changed the shutter speed.

Guilty. Started getting into photography 2 years ago with an old canon xs from a flea market. Fell in love with photography. The only mistake was upgrading gears, thinking gear would make me a better photographer. Bought t5i a month after buying the xs then m50mk ii. Then an canon r50 then an rp then r6mkii. Recently sold all of them including my rf glasses. Moved to mft. Lumix gx85 and olympus em1mkii. Realized that if I wanna be good at photography, I need to learn how to get good photos without using "the latest and greatest ".

Do both .
