Why I Stopped Taking Photos at Niagara Falls
As creators, we can often forget to take in the scenery around us and breathe in the moment. We can get so wrapped up in trying to capture the moment with our cameras that we forget to actually capture the moment in our hearts. In this video, I take you on a journey to Niagara Falls and show you how I learned to put my camera down. I hope you learn something from me in this video, and I hope you keep taking photos!

The Hidden Danger of Always Improving in Photography
Переглядів 145Місяць тому
One of the biggest growing edges I have as a creator is feeling like I always need to be doing better or improving. This need for improvement can hinder the best part about creating: the creating itself! In this video, I explain how to balance improving your photography while also maintaining fun. In this video, I also walk through the ways I composed some of my shots while I was out taking pho...

Is HIMI Gouache Worth it in 2023? Review, Unboxing, & First Impressions
Yes, the VII is still worth it. It just needs an USB-C to be up to date.
Beautiful video. I am now subscribed! Thank you. My gf just bought me an RX100 iii for christmas!

Hello, First of all really nice video. But i need to ask you something what do you think about the ricoh grill, i consider buying the sony rx 100v|| or the ricoh grill. Picture quality is the main point why i think of buying the ricoh because many people are saying that the ricoh has a nicer look, especially like a „film look" which i think is really cool and also the size but i also want to shoot videos(but i have an Iphone 14 do you think the video is much better of the sony than my iphone?) and the flexibilty of the sony and the view finder so what do you think about the image quality? And do you know how far i can zoom with the ricoh and the quality is as good as when iam not zooming? Thanks for your help:))
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! And very good question! Let's start with the zoom part of your question, the Ricoh GRIII does not have a zoom lens, so you are stuck with the fixed lens of the model you purchase (there are some with different focal lengths). However, there is a "crop mode" function that lets you punch in the frame, sort of like a digital zoom. The Sony RX100VII has an optical zoom lens from 24-200mm which is insanely versatile. If you want to be able to zoom, the Rx100 is a no-brainer. In terms of image quality, they are both going to produce fantastic images; you may not even be able to tell the difference. However, the Ricoh GRIII does have a character to it that is, I would say, close to a Fujifilm in terms of like "creative style". However, if you want something that can do a bit of everything, like video, images, etc., I think the RX100 is the right choice. If you mainly want a camera to take photos with a creative flare, I would go with the Ricoh. Your iPhone does take good quality videos, but if you ever want to up your video quality in the future, audio will be most important. The Sony Rx100Vii has a mic input, so you can attach an external microphone. That paired with its image quality, I think it's the better choice for video, especially because it will have better depth of field. There will be more of a learning curve, but it is more future proof in my opinion. That being said, your iPhone will do the job if you're just starting out. Also, using an iPhone as a video camera (although it is totally usable), there is an advantage to having a separate camera JUST for taking photos and videos because you won't get distracted, and you have more creative control.
@@kairoldancreations Thank you verry much:))
keep making videos, I can see myself enjoying them. 👏👏
Deep and inspiring content. Well done! I have a Sony a6400 with a Tamron 17-70 2.8 (I was not very happy with the kit lens) and I'm thinking to get a Sony RX100 just to travel lighter and to have it always with me. I'm glad I found your video! Good luck with your creative process 😊
Thank you so much for this stellar review! I had an rx100mk1 for 10 years, and recently going back to old travel pictures I realized how MUCH it was well crafted, not even in RAW and in full Auto. My mission now is to explore Photography with manual and practice... And was able to get the MK3 for a ridiculous price. Thanks for sparking back my flame! Would you accept to explain how you can bring the Retro style using Lightroom with this particular camera?
@@luclandry92 thank you so much! Aw I’m so glad it sparked an old flame for you. I don’t use LR anymore because I’m boycotting Adobe, but I do plan to make a video in the future about how I edit photos in Affinity Photo to make them look a lil vintage (a lot should translate tho). So stick around and stay tuned!
Hi. Why not a zv 1?
@@kabirdhadiala good question, I considered it, but I wanted a camera that was more tailored for taking photos. The ZV-1 was made more for vloggers in mind, and I also wanted a camera with a little bit of an older sensor. I wanted something with a bit of an “older” feel
Lovely shots and a v well done video! 👏🏼 been eyeing rx100 for a minute and this is solidifying my intrigue with em
I've had the RX100iii and now the rx100 vii. I love the zoom feature and also the other upgrades to the rx100 with the latest camera. It's too expensive new but you can get it used. I use it all the time for international travel-used much more than my sony a6700. That said, the A6700 apsc camera does take noticeably better pics, and for extreme zoom the sony 70-350mm (equivalent to 520mm full frame) can't be beat. Again, I love the RX100 viii :).
envious you have the vii lol, and wow didn't know there was a lens like then on Sony aps-c!! That's super awesome, thanks for bringing that to my attention
Would you be able to make a few videos while you’re out and about shooting? Kind of allowing us to get in your head space? I know it can be rather distracting from the process of creating but would be extremely beneficial
Yes! I am working on a video where I do a live break down of a shot. You're so right; it can be distracting to stop mid-flow, but I think it's helpful to slow down, too.
@@Glacial_Glass I uploaded a video a couple weeks ago doing just this! And I’ll be posting another one by the end of this week
@@kairoldancreations oh hells bells yeah!! I can’t wait to watch it 😁
When i was roundabout your age, i just had one, very simple film camera with a fixed 35mm lens. I used black and white film because this was what my budget allowed. Today I have a battery of lenses and a selection of fancy full frame cameras but i am not happier because of this. I also have a sony rx100.3 which i bought ten years ago and i have a love-hate relationship with it. When i get tired of the heft of my full frame camera and the heavy zooms, I grab the little sony and shoot away. Your beautiful vid has inspired me to give it another try. Thanks Kai.
Thanks so much, Jack! I appreciate you passing down your wisdom, and I totally agree. Full frames and zoom lenses can get complicated so quickly. There's something unique about a small compact camera; it simplifies things so you can focus on taking the photo. I'm glad to hear you are inspired!
@@kairoldancreations The little sony would be the one, if i had to choose a single camera for the rest of my life. That's for sure. Best luck with your YT channel, Kai.
@@Jack_Schularick thanks so much!
I was looking at one used... But your words struck me..esp. The part "Love hate relationship" with it..... I wonder if you could elaborate just a little bit for my curiosity....
@motionoftheocean7524 It probably says more about me than about the camera. I almost never shoot spontaneously, on the go. I take my camera on a trip or a walk and so I take a full frame. This Rx100 has great IQ for its size but it struggles with bokeh and has no macro capability. The zoom range is just 24-70mm. Its noise is not pretty. So much for the hate part. But the images it produces, within the limitations, are great.
3:18 well, this is fųckïng good.
What’s your settings bro?
can you be more specific?
Really interesting to hear your perspective. Did you consider Ricoh GR at all? I'm debating at the moment. Need a smaller camera and phone doesn't cut it.
I did! However, I really wanted a zoom lens, not a fixed prime lens. I'd get both if I had the money. Totally agree about a smartphone not cutting it. If you have the money, I'd say go for the Ricoh if you really want it!
@@kairoldancreations yes zoom is really tempting! Very useful with kids. I generally prefer prime lenses, but in this case I'm a bit conflicted. Maybe I'll try and rent Sony and try it out. Thanks!
@@kash.h Yes being able to zoom is so much better for moving subjects. I prefer primes when I'm taking portrait photos or of still objects. Maybe consider what you primarily want to be able to accomplish with the camera. Like do you want it for one specific thing, or do you want more versatility? imo: Ricoh = street photography, portraits, stills ; Sony = a little bit of everything
Nice! Great work.
Thanks! 🙏🏼
If there’s a a lot a different colors why do you say it will be hard to get the right colors of your reference I still don’t know if I wanna but these markers after a month trying to figure out if I want them and this just made it worse
What I mean is that in a reference there are going to be a lot of colors to look at that are not always going to match the colors you have in your markers. And at first this might seem like a problem. But actually, you can see it as an advantage because it forces you to learn to see colors for their value and hue and choose the closest thing possible. It also makes your drawing more stylized. For example, I didn’t have the perfect color to match her lips, BUT I did have a vibrant pink that I thought could actually enhance the composition. It forced me to make a stylized choice. Hopefully that helps!
your art is absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you!!
That is one hairy neck
she's working on growing her beard
Thanks for the tips! I’ve never used them before, although I’ve been quite curious. Beautiful (and accurate!) piece you’ve drawn there ❤ it amazes me when the final colors of an alcohol marker piece don’t look quite as bold and off putting as they originally did when the artist was first laying them down. At first she looked three different shades of orange to me, but by the end it was a beautiful skin tone. Incredible ✨
You’re welcome, and thank you for the compliment! Yes alcohol markers really force you to trust the process!! lol
no thanks i don't sniff
serás una gran artista😊
❤❤
I love it omg if u were going for realism (i dont think you are ) you should add more shading and colors but fr its good ❤
Omg I want to get those type of markers soon so these tips really helped! Thanks!
I'm so glad! They really are a treat to use once you figure them out. Don’t give up!
underrated ❤
Best of best :)
It look awesome!!❤❤
❤
simple short sweet! thank you!
I love your originality ! So cool! Don't worry about mistakes, they just make a new way to observe something differently!
All I do is sick figures... I'm horrible at this time of stuff yet in super good at drawing monsters. So confusing 😅
Keep drawing! You'll get there 🙏🏼
First comment

'Promo sm' 😁
So cute
Art
Great are
This art is great!
They both look amazing and beautiful I can't believe I haven't seen your art before its a masterpiece even is its just a sketch✍☺
Wow thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
@@kairoldancreations Your welcome!
Aaawww so cute!
Same sis except I use Autodesk Sketcbook (but I wish I could at least try Procreate)
i’m asian my eyes are almond shaped
I'm also Asian, the point of the video is to express that any eye shape can be broken down into a parallelogram to understand that basic lines that make up the eye (not that eyes can't be almond shaped). Most beginner artists will just make a simple almond that isn't anatomically correct, so breaking it down into a parallelogram first helps to create a more accurate representation of an eye
What the f***
Everything
Bruh same
Love this ❤
