My Bucket List Shot & The End of Landscape Photography
Переглядів 2453 роки тому
There is a shot I've been trying to get for the past three years, and I finally have an opportunity to get it. This is my bucket list shot, and it feels like a real capstone to my landscape photography journey. Landscape photography doesn't move me like it once did. Taking pretty pictures of pretty things is no longer fulfilling. There are so many more things I want to do with a camera, and rig...
Content ID and its Discontents

In this video, I look at what the law requires, what Content ID is, some of the problems Content ID creates, and ways Content ID could be fixed.

Filming The Yosemite - Part 1 - Short Film BTS
Переглядів 1843 роки тому
I spent a long weekend in Yosemite capturing the first footage for my short film The Yosemite. I chart my progress over three days as I wander through the Yosemite valley and get to waterfalls I'd never see before despite having spent hundreds of nights in Yosemite over my lifetime. Not everything went according to plan, but overall it was a successful trip. Follow me here: Newsletter: www.gran...
Intro to The Yosemite - Short Film BTS

I've started filming a new project that I've been thinking about for a while now. I'm making a short film about Yosemite, pairing the words of John Muir with footage I'll be shooting. This is just a brief introduction to the project, with more videos each time I take a trip to Yosemite to film.
I'm Burnt Out
Переглядів 2723 роки тому
I'm burnt out. Making videos every Tuesday isn't working for me anymore. The videos I've been making aren't very good, I'm not taking photos other than to make videos, and I just need to make a change. I'm taking the rest of the month off from UA-cam. When I come back, I think I'm going to be doing things a bit differently, which probably means the end of weekly content. We'll see... Prints of ...

    so basically a shift lens effectively is a lower mm zero distortion lens.

    Clear and concise.🧐 I don't agree that these tilt-shift or perspective control lenses are 'ridiculous to own'. I just bought a Nikon 24 mm PC secondhand in nice condition. This can be used as an excellent (although relatively heavy) wide-angle lens without tilting or shifting. Its minimum focus distance is 20 cm. I habitually take close-ups of plants while trying to get their backgrounds in focus too. I would also have taken more architectural photographs in the past if verticals didn't converge so much. 🦥

    @palmelavig6117 8 місяців тому

    I use this lens all the time. It produces very sharp images all the time. But, I stop down to f14-18 when I shift. If you are doing this wide open at f4 then, of course, you are going to get poor sharpness in the far reaches.

    If you want a cheap tilt-shift lens, Arax has a few really nices ones. They're completely manual, so no talking to the camera in any way, and they got them for several different mounts. I got their 28mm, and have had a lot of fun with it. I have it for the Pentax K-mount, and have now adapted it to the Samsung NX mount, and it's still fun for both photography and video.

  • @martins2462
    @martins2462 Рік тому

    I own this lens and have for several years. It is definitely not the lens in my possession that I use the most, but I do love to take pictures of tall buildings, especially cathedrals and such, and when I do that, I find that this lens can capture it in quite a unique way, one certainly no other lens I own can come close to matching. As you say, it absolutely stellar for that purpose. But yes, it is for that and relatively few other purposes. I guess that the tilt-shift functionality gives it some creative opportunities, but yes 17 mm is too wide angle most of the time. A niche lens that does a small number of things in a unique and awesome way.
