Hi mate, Photoshop aligns the images making a tripod unnecessary, obviously it would be better on a tripod as you wouldn’t lose any of the image to cropping, however for this experiment I wanted to see how it held up doing hand held stacks.

@@keithguppy Did you lose much via. this experiment?

I did look at the test drive program, however not knowing anyone that has used it I wasn’t sure about using it, I know it’s not actually cannon but another company, I imagine they would take the deposit for the stupidest reason.

@@keithguppy Yeah its definitely a third party... both times I've used them it was closer to the end of the pandemic, and because they weren't sure if they would get the Equipment out to me on the agreed date, they sent it to me a few days early, so I got to use it for more than 48-hours for no extra cost... Whether that's still the case, or whether I got lucky I'm not sure, as has been a few years now. The Gear itself came in proper cases as well, protected by Memory Foam, so when I wasn't using it it was stored safely away lol!... Was definitely a case of using it like a new-born baby to avoid having to lose the deposit, but never had that issue... I do eventually plan on doing a video around it later in the year. Can imagine people have had horror stories though, as guess that 3rd party can differ as to where you're based in the country... e.g. Equipment you hire, probably wont come from the same place that I get it from.

@neilstevensphotography good to know. My previous experience with canon repair service was awful so I’m a little dubious about using third party companies. Maybe I just got unlucky

Thanks Keith. The advantage of staying with canon for me is I love the camera body’s and the menus, so it would be like getting a makeover for my camera, same camera different insides lol.

Hi Shawn, hope you okay mate. I am in two minds about it, I want to upgrade because of the new features, but at the same time I do love my 5d mk4 , it still produces some great images. One day mate I will take the plunge into the mirrorless world.

Hi Jon, hope you are both well. I agree, mirrorless is definitely the future, and I feel the same, my 5d still produces some great images but lacks features of the new mirrorless cameras. I would keep all my lenses and use an adaptor mainly because I can’t afford to replace them lol.

Thanks Enrique, thought I would have fun with this one

Thank you 🙏🏼 I don’t to technical reviews so I thought I would throw a little fun into this one

@@keithguppy i did laugh at the little guy lol

😂 glad it came across as intended

@@keithguppy it certainly did Keith 🙂

Cheers mark 😃

Thanks for commenting

I need to reshoot this, I’ll be sure to take this into account when I do, thanks for commenting

@@keithguppy It would've been wrong for me not to do the right thing. Best2u!

Absolutely, it’s good to learn from mistakes, and people pointing them out helps me grow as a creator 😀

Hi Shawn, thanks mate. Practice is key, many thanks to your wife mate.

Cheers mate, if I remember it I’ll bring it on Tuesday and you can have a go.

Thanks Joe

Hi Jon, hope you are both well , yeah i noticed this too. It’s not the best one I have to be honest. I have a few others. I may do a comparison for macro one day.

Thanks Enrique, Ha I wish Enrique, I don’t think I will make money from UA-cam for a long time. Maybe from sponsorship.

@@keithguppy That’s an easy one Keith, you shoot with Canon, just call Tokyo and tell them that you want to be a Canon ambassador.

@@Enrique-the-photographer I think they would want someone a little better than me lol. 😂

Cheers mate, it would look better with an extra zero lol.

Cheers mate, finally got into that 8% club 😃 AI wrote the script and I thought it sounded mysterious so narrated that way 😂

Thanks Enrique 😄

Hi Shawn, thanks mate, yeah you used to be able to go in but too many people took advantage and ruined it over Covid I believe

Hi Jon, hope you are both well. I do love B-roll lol I would have stayed except I wasn’t dressed for it and I didn’t want to get caught out, I love thunder and lightning, we do t have a lot of it down this way sadly.

Cheers mate 👍🏻

Thanks Keith, I enjoyed shooting this one. It’s crazy how different things look that close up.

Thanks mate.

Thanks Shawn, this was fun shooting this one. Macro is definitely fun.

Hi Jon, hope you are both well. I can confirm the lens is sharp, in an upcoming video I put it on a tripod and get sharp photos. I agree there are a lot of variables, like how steady you’re holding the camera, how hard you press the shutter. It’s cool to see everything up close. I haven’t really played enough with it though.

@@keithguppy looking forward to watching the follow up video 📹

Thanks Julian much appreciated 🙏🏼

Hi Enrique, I have been looking at getting the 65mm laowa myself. Have you tried it with the flash? You can get better results but still quite hard. I have another video coming up where I use it with the flash too and I still struggle

@@keithguppy Not with a flash, the shot of the serrated knife on Instagram was shot with constant light.

@@Enrique-the-photographer ah, okay, I guess if it’s not moving you don’t really need the flash. I use constant light a lot. Easier to see the results straight away

@@keithguppy I did try with a small flash mounted on the hot shoe but it was casting a shadow on the image (I was too close to the subject), I will try something tabletop with off camera flash.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I find them very helpful, you do have to get closer to see anything but I definitely see things I wouldn’t ordinarily see

Awesome thank you 🤩

Awesome thank you ☺️

I was photographing something at home and dropped It, I was devastated when it hit the floor! Luckily it’s quiet robust and still works perfectly 🙂

Cheers mate, I’m not looking forward to the bluebell tree. If I miss that it looks awful

Hi Craig, yes I like that. The choice is for the video that will go up every season. I might pop all the photos up at the end of the year.

@@keithguppy that's easy. Focus each video on a different location, but share the photos you got from the other locations for that season. Either way, definitely share all at the end. You really have my brain turning if I want to attempt anything similar to this. Thanks.

@@craigpiferphotography that’s a great idea, thanks for the idea. You should go for it, it can’t hurt and it’s more content for your channel

Great thanks for commenting Peter. Great choice, It’s looking like that will be the one.

You would get some great seasonal shots too Keith, that would be an intriguing watch. Thanks for the vote, it’s looking like no3 will be the one at the moment.

A first thoughts review of the photography tripod the K&F Concept A254C4 carbon fibre tripod ua-cam.com/video/xc4Dnr1n3Ag/v-deo.html

Hi Jon, hope you are both well, great choice, I do enjoy shooting this location. Thanks for the selection. I’m looking forward to doing this series, and a little worried I’ll forget I’m supposed to be doing it lol

Thanks for commenting, Awesome thank you, I like number 2 as it’s only 20 mins from my house 😂 .

@@keithguppy Thats the best way just a short journey from home.

Thanks Enrique, loving the iguana photos by the way

@@keithguppy Thank you Keith.

Thanks mate, I though it was a good way of getting an extra video out of it 🤣 I’m leaning toward no1 although it’s about an hour from me, no 2 are relatively close and 3 is about 40 mins from me. You always have to travel to the best spots lol

@@keithguppy Yeah that's very true... Thankfully I picked a spot that was just 30mins away from me

Hey, yes, a very atmospheric and beautiful location.

i would love to go i would not know where to go there it is a lovely spot love to try a ghost hunt there thank you @@keithguppy

@@user-uq7cu6pm9r are you local to Dartmoor?

no i an from belfast i would love to go there it feels so spooky @@keithguppy

Ah fair enough, it would be a long trip.

Hi Shawn, you can always do a round 2 mate. nothing wrong with reshooting content if you think you can do it better, so the first vote for No3 then, cheers mate.

Thanks Mark, the best way is as-lib I think, more natural and you know it’s coming from a place of honesty. I will definitely let you know mate, we could do a collaboration.

Thanks Jeff, you just have to get out there for every one to judge and then forget about it 😂

Yeha B-roll is a hard one, sometimes i just appear on location others im doing a 5 minute b-roll segment lol, I know what you mean mate.

Thanks Craig, at the end of the day, we are still producing good content no matter how we film it , it's the final product that matters, no matter how long it takes up lol

Thankfully I don't seem to be the only one who self edits, I thought I was just doing it wrong, maybe this is the way to do it lol

Hi Shawn, It is fun self editing, the amount of outtakes we must generate lol.

Hi Jon, hope you are both well, I think my backpack is around 15kg too, I have done 10k hikes with that thing on 😂 it keeps you fit I guess.

Indeed we do Keith. Although I think you probably win the gold medal for all those mountain hikes you go on to get those shots. And if you count travel miles you definitely win lol.
