You have an interesting idea, to understand the color of camera sensors, that's why I subscribed to you. This is your contribution to the community! But seriously, my friend, except for the camera color test, no one except you is interested in looking at photos of bears. It's immediately obvious that you are a creative person, but understand that creativity should serve people. I think you need to not just wander along creative paths, but find a goal. If you take pictures of bears, then make an exhibition and not just shoot for the table, people need to be surprised with art, this is about seeing and feeling what you've never felt before. But the goal of art should always be to serve people and the desire to shock them, to turn their views on life upside down!

Interesting chat, Matocha. I'm thinking hard to see if i can find something in my life where this sort of applies, but i'm drawing a bit of a blank. The only 'creative' activity i have is the house i'm building in our rainforest... or at least it seems to be 'creative' because it's not a 'normal' house and the only other person it involves is lisa, and her role thus far has largely been limited to approving or disapproving my initiatives. I suppose i also tend to think of 'creativity' as being essentially: 'idea' -> determination to act -> problem solving in the process... which effectively makes everything including breakfast a creative act. My photography is not 'creative' - everything i take a picture of already exists and i just stand in what seems to be the right place and secure an image of a pre-existing actual-factual in the world. I did write a few songs a few years ago and i'll get back to that when the house is done, but my experience of being creative there was just a response to what seemed like an irresistible force within me which i just recorded... and that may be the thing that gets closest to what you're talking about here - because while creative, it was not effortful, and that comes down to the way i orientated myself at that time. I spent many years competing in sport internationally - a complex individual sport that posed a lot of problems that demanded novel solutions. I developed a very strong capacity to focus - to reduce the world to a single compulsion - to step into what used to be called The Zone. I have a technique for making this transition from the scatteredness of the Everyday to Being Present in something specific - i use it most days in photography. I don't think it necessarily makes my photography any good, but it does mean the time i invest in doing photography is just one intense, productive flow. Where the improvement comes is in reflecting on the results - in the critique - and then fine-tuning (or massively overturning) the details that are present in the actual practice. Now - i could go on with how all of this works for me in practice, but it's Sunday morning and i've got the house to work on and i want to go shoot late this arvo and a Dissertation on this topic would be an uninvited imposition in a Comments section! You've started me off thinking about a habit that i've had for decades, and now i have to reorient to do some tricky cuts on the framing for the conservatory! Problems, Colton... it's all problems. Cheers, man - thanks for the vid and y'all have a great day. PS: need to organize my zine copy - u want cash or a broken camera?

Brilliant video Colton! Preach it! I have had and on occasions still experience most if not the all those points you have talked about. I slowly learned that doing is far better than than thinking about doing. Working from home and the responsibility of home care there is a ton of noise. Some is avoidable, some is self inflicted and some is just life. I have learned that interruptions are going to be part of my day. How I handle those, the attitude to them and how I can best be pro-active, set boundaries and allow other to know I am going to be focused on a project for hours. As for gear ( GAS ) learning to be content with what I have and using it to the fullest. I think that it takes a bit of realizing what you really need over the desire of wanting. Thanks for having a great channel and sharing you creative journey!

Using an Olympus e-300 Digicam, and totally loving it!

Bottom line is, the technology is evolving and we need to move with it. It doesn't me though that you need to go get every new iteration of technology. I am still using my Nikon D700.

I've had many Sony mirrorles cameras (A6000, A7, A7II, A7RII, A7RIII, and A7C), and I was never satisfied with their raw files without major color adjustments (.jpgs were even more disappointing IMO). However, having sold almost all my Sony gear, I still had some Zeiss Loxia lenses that were harder to sell. So last week I bought an old Sony A3500 (same as A3000) just to have some E mount to put my lenses on (which are absolutely fantastic), and boom! Wow, this is the first Sony sensor that produces really great lively colors right out of the camera (it's a 20.1 MP APC-S). I had never heard of this model before, I just saw it was very cheap (and old). The camera has a very crappy screen and low resolution EVF, it shoots only at 2.5 FPS, but I use with manual lenses so I couldn't care less about its speed. I'm happy to report its colors are very good.

I'm in south africa where can i fix it?

Great, informative video! Just wondering if there is a noticeable difference in images made with the 14-54 ver1 and the 14-54 ver2? Keep up the great work!

Colton, fantastic video and stories! Love the photos! Just to let you know I am working on a time machine that is powered by a perpetual motion electrical generator. The future me, just told me it works! 😆

Really like the output from this camera. A question though...did you tweak the colors at all? Is this straight out of camera?

Firstly, i'm First. Secondly, your studio could do with a good dusting. Thirdly and finally, i think you'll find that all digital cameras necessarily capture in colour no matter what you set them to. The only exceptions are the Leica Mono and Pentax K3 Mono - for obvious reasons. That said, i think the 8MP CCD seems to have handled the whole ordeal pretty well - did you process with a denoise? Bonus point... ah, haven't got one: like this compact monthly wrap thing (that'll do). Cheers, horse-feathers - get yourself a 3-way geared head!🤣

have you tried sigmoid rendering on darktable? I find it to be easier to get image rendering that I want

Now I want a comparison of using different vintage lenses (same focal length and same camera body) to see if color rendering is affected in any way. I understand 3D pop and micro-contrast, but I wonder if some camera lenses are worth their price

FILM LIKE!! No, it's not no 35mm phoyos look anything like a digital ccd or smos just stop! I yook hundreds og 35 mm photos develo4 my own film and 35mm looks nothing like a evolt or any other ccd camera! Even the earliest digital cameras e'1 d100 look orders of manitude better than 35mm!!

Happy post Halloween Colton! Great video! Love seeing how you put a shoot like these together! I was away for Halloween this year, but I definitely needed the time away. First time not handing out the candy! Loved the plastic pumpkin photo! Thanks for sharing!

Do you crop your images by eating everything on the periphery of the frame?😂

Since you asked, #2 and #3 were my fave picks. Started watching this at 0330, but it was still dark out and a wind was blowing through the trees and there was a creaking noise in the house and my black cat Shamamba killed a white mouse... anyway, i stopped watching and waited until now when it's light and i've got tea and i feel much better, thank you. Did you realize that your T-shirt was a pumpkinish colour too? Let me know what body part gave the greatest satisfaction when you ate it. Weird. Cheers!

Hey, from all the digicams you have tried which one do you prefer the most?

I think a better comparison would be the jpegs out of camera. There is a huge difference between sony's raw output and their processed output.

Have the Camera for a couple of Weeks now and use the Coldshohe mostly for an extra Light. I'm not a Fan of the harsh Light of a Front Facing Flash, so the mounted (RGB-)Light gives me a bit more flexibility. Especially to darken the Background a bit and highlighting the photographed Object/Person.

Thanks for the video. I prefer the CCD color if for the landscape and outdoor scenery. To me I don't know why, the yellow-greenish tint from many (supposedly) CMOS cameras have that yellow-greenish (not the warm yellow) made the photos look cheap and digital, I have D3400, it falls in the same result.

I've been wanting to get into photography, and it turns out my mom has just had one of these laying around :)

I have very sensitive eyes - any EVF, i use longer than just 2-3 mins, i get swindel, headache, eyestrain. I do *need* an OVF, simply as that. Thats why i do love my DSLRs - and would never change.

Hi Colton, I just purchased this camera and I was wondering if is normal the black screen while taking pictures? I mean the image on the screen is not showing anything till I take a picture then I can see the pic that just took. I can also see the settings like normal. I mean is it normal the black screen while taking pictures? Thank you in advance

I have both cameras. I love them both. RZ does have a rotating back and I got a polaroid and instax back for it. Don´t have that for the ProTL. Lens wise I think there is a wider selection of lenses for the RZ. Yes, the RZ is a brick. But doing a lot of LF photography that was never an issue for me. If am tight lugagge the ProTL wins. Otherwise I prefer the RZ. Again, both are keepers.

LOL you realized you bought yourself in the wrong system😂. What to consider is that except Sony I think all systems have allowed limited amount of third party lenses. For instance Laowa 10mm lens auto focus doensn't work on L-mount. Probably because of Sigma's fear of losing sales. I Agree about the affordable lens options on Canon. Besides that I think the price gap between the R6II and R5II is too big also. 4800 for a higher resolution camera is crazy imo. When I started with my Olympus E-500. Canon had a 70-200 f2.8 around 1200. Now they almost trippled. What to consider is that the market after great decline shows some stabilizing. But is still fragile. Still only around 10% is left of the all time high. So manufactureres can't take the same risk anymore as development costs increase and the ROI shrinks because of lower demand. Yeah I can understand it from their perspective. With Olympus both the the 100-400mm and the 150-600 are designed and made by Sigma. Probably to save R&D costs. In MFT I also see that there are very limited third party lenses that could replace first party lenses. I wouldn't be surprised that in the future camera's are made in the same production plants. Like smartphones and many electronics. So camera brands become more designers and less manufactureres.

Excellent video Colton! Using K mount lens here, have a great variety of lens choice...especially with vintage lens! Thanks for sharing!

EF lenses work the same way as RF. And besides, EF lenses have a very 3D pop appearance due to the lack of ED glass! Therefore, it is stupid to buy new lenses. Canon is the only system in which old lenses work no worse than new ones, unfortunately Nikon could not do this, although they have more beautiful glass.

“… using Canon as a prime example…” - LOL!

Here's another factor... manufacturing capacity. A good example of this involves the tie up between Canon and Tamron in the 1970s. Canon was taking off in the SLR market and, for whatever reasons, were not in a position to meet market demand with their in-house manufacturing. This led to a collaboration between Canon and Tamron - some of Canon's best lenses from the period were developed with Tamron and manufactured by Tamron, but badged and released exclusively as Canon. So, it was a symbiotic relationship with both parties benefiting from the respective in-house R&D programs and Tamron being able to build further on that to the stage where they could design and produce OEM-quality glass. As an aside - five lenses to look out to from Tamron, all released in the '80's and '90's, are the Adaptall2 SP 80-200mm f/2.8 and 90mm f/2.5, along with the 'LD-IF' 185mm f/2.5, 300mm f/2.8 (the 60b variant) and 400mm f/4. These are all superb manual focus lenses, built like tanks, and can be found for considerably less pingers than their OEM equivalents. Cheers.

just got a sigma f2.8 lens for my old ass Sony a380, glad I didn't have to spend a lot of money for it

Will Autofocus work with Canon 50 1.8 STM?

Congratulations on your Zine! It looks fantastic and really enjoy these live streams! Thanks for your time and sharing!

I must admit, I’m absolutely impressed by the quality of this stream - in terms of content and vibe but also colour, grading and tonality. You have tweaked something or invested in new gear recently, am I right? Cheers! 😃

Nice

I think something is not working here as expected 😜

I'm amazed... the last person I listened to who talked as fast as this clip was a hamster. Are you ok?

Thanks Colton!

Had a wonderful time on your stream last night! Really enjoyed the insights and the bouncing of ideas. Thanks for taking that time to converse with us crazy photography people! Hope to see you in the next one!

Oh shit... and i thought watching a three hour live stream when it wasn't live was normal. Suck to be me. 🤣Cheers.

Hi Colton, Great video! I personally enjoy these type of content from you the most. Although they may not generate the same amount of views as your gear or photo assessment orientated video's. I hope you will continue to make them. As the mental part of photography is also important, somehow I never seen anyone else making content about it. Except if they go through a hard time and that is why they are making video's on a lower pace. I've always been very goal orientated myself. But after my chronic illness I have decided to care less, also out of necessity. As a perfectionist reaching goals didn't give me fulfilment. I may have become more passive, but more focused on the here and now. By going with the flow as I grew tired of swimming against it.

Thank you so much for this vid! Definetly needed to hear it and its insporational and resonates with me :)

Getting a video out every week is already a lot of work. When I first started my woodworking channel, I was working on my channel content after work, and it felt like working 2 full time jobs. I got an initial boost of subscribers, and I was also burnt out.

Hi Colton! Great video, message and insight! Perseverance, effort and consistency = growth. Never stop learning and keeping it fun. I find pushing myself, but understanding things take time and I can learn from the failures as well as the successes. I also learned that there are times I need a break as well. A change of location, perhaps a time to just think and reset goals and expectations. Try something new and breaking the comfort zone barrier. I picked ups some zone focus film cameras and I am having to really take a bit of a step by step with cameras that are fully manual and be aware of process. I am also aware I need to be more aware of the privilege and show gratitude for the the gear I have and the relationships that promote my crazy dreams. Thanks again for sharing! Always inspirational and positive attitude.

Colton! So sorry I missed your stream. I will watch later.!

I like your calmness and attitude towards photography - use your tools the best way you can, don’t spend absurd amounts of money to achieve like 9% more, try to find fun in it and don’t turn your beloved hobby into profession. We are the chasers of enjoyment with some specific, fluffy goals to achieve in mind. Also, your gummy bears are the best in terms of colour and tonality I’ve seen on youtube! Cheers!

I love my evolt e300. I just wish I knew something anything about photography other than what looks good.
