Hello . It's a very interesting walk, Martin. Because of your video, I rested a little and for a moment forgot that there is a war in my country. I'm really looking forward to when this war will end and our people will start doing nice things again like before. Greetings from Ukraine!
Im glad it allowed you to forget for a moment, we are all behind you here in the UK, Slava Ukraine!

Geroyam slava !Thank you for your support. God bless you!
All the best to you and take care
i loved the pov style photography
5d mark 2 is the best camera ever made ...
Generally ton of that camera is awesome
Stunning shots Martin I wish I could manually bracket my shots as fast as you can.
I loved hearing your thought process as you journeyed through the forest, and how you approach your shots and experiment too. I find myself having similar thoughts on not wanting shots to be too perfect, or predictable in composition.
Nice shots. Great video. Leaves are long gone around here, snow already! Keep up the good work. Best wishes!
Thanks John looking forward to snow, not likely to get any though 😢
Thank you for your videos! Best use of my time watching and learning from you! I’m a Nikon guy but I had to have the 5dii.
I shoot nikon too actually more than canon but love these older cameras thank you for watching!
Very nice video and pictures, Martin! I usually take handheld shots with my 5d mark ii, I like that it's so sturdy (and you never know when the light disappears), I also am a big fan of optical viewfinders, shooting into the sun it's safer for the eyes to use the LCD though. I guess the point is that we do better work when we do it the way we like.
Thanks Kalle! I really like shooting with the LCD screen its really whatever suits us best I think🙂
yea the one main thing i do like about an EVF is that you don't have to worry about what the sun is doing to your eye in these shots that include the sun itself in them.
Lovely!
Beautiful shots there Martin. Really caught the Autumn colours and feel 👍
Thank you!
I love mine 😍🤩
Beautiful and interesting. Thanks!
Stunning video and work. I love your uploads 😊many thanks!
Glad you like them!
Spectacular photos!
Thanks! So keep your 5d ii please.
loved the pictures, recently took a huge upgrade from a sony a290 to a 5d mark ii, after my sony bit the dust, still need to get used to the beast, both feature and weight wise
As always, beautiful work. Martin
Thanks buddy
I’m speaking American to you 😎
@@MartinCastein lol I'm from Brooklyn. We have a whole another language fugetabotit 🤣
🧐 hmmm Ohhhhh I got it 🤣
Great video Martin!
autumn sunset lighting works great for the brown tones delivered by the sensor of the 5Dii
for sure, its ideal for that really i think
You should really replace that missing Eb eyecup, Martin.
I should shouldn’t I, it bugs me too
Wonderful input!
Hey Don, thanks once again!!!!! Hope you are well.
Great video's thanks Martin.
I'm considering getting back into photography after a decade plus away
Currently considering either a 5d Mark ii or 6d Mark 1 with probably a 24-105 f4 L and your content is extremely useful cheers 🍻
6d mark 1 would be my recommendation it’s the better camera.
@@MartinCastein thanks so much for replying, I'm definitely leaning that way especially as it has Wi-Fi so I should be able to just use my tablet
Yeah the 6d feels like a modern camera and has better screen and sensor and so on and fantastic colour straight from camera too
Just picked up a 5d mk2 and I’m thrilled to get started! Trying to figure out the exposure triangle.
What setting do you recommend for landscape? Is there a default setting for landscape?
No recommended settings for landscapes as such but there are loads of tutorials on UA-cam that will help you
Hello Martin. I have a question. Canon 5d mark 2 or canon rp good for photography, landscape photo shoot?
I’d go with the RP you will appreciate all the up your date features. The 5d ii has better colours but the rp is a modern camera with advantages. I’ll have some rp landscape videos soon too
Thanks for the tutorial, I have never shot landscapes like this before and I like the technique. Regarding the 16-35mm f/4, do you prefer it over the 17-40 f/4?
Hmmmm yes slightly better not so much the image quality but the IS helps for handheld shots for sure. The image quality is definitely better but I would only upgrade if the IS is going to be useful to you AND it’s a lens you use a lot. The 17-40 is really good.
@@MartinCastein ah ok thanks. I don't use the IS and I rarely take landscapes, so will stay with the 17-40 - yes I am pretty happy with it when I use it
Yeah I’d just stick with the 17-40 for sure
Gorgeous shots! Is the triple bracketing a setting on the 5d MK2 or do you have to do it manually somehow? Is it combined in camera or in Lightroom or somethin? Thanks!
Lovely lovely images , did you bracket all,of them ? Even the first shot etc
Thanks no only I’m the ones where I said it was bracketed
@@MartinCastein sorry misunderstood, what I was asking is did you bracket every photo or were some of the images a single exposure?
Nice video Martin. Sir, I have an opportunity to purchase this camera and a few len's from my friends son as my friend passed recently. I loved my friends style and I would be proud to use it remembering him with each click. That being said I have a Nikon Z50 (APSC) which I love and am almost comfortable with navigating the menu and it's features. It would be great to have the 5D full frame. Whether or not you have Nikon experience I'd welcome your opinion if you think it would be confusing to learn navigating Canon after the past 2 years after using my Nikon.
I see used mid range condition body's for around $280.00 US. I'd like to offer him $500.00 US for the body and a couple of the lens's (both prime and telephoto). If so what len's would you recommend. The choices are Canon 100-400, 70-200, 18-55, 50mm, and Tamaron 24-70. I don't know the F-stops yet.
👏👏👏Great! 📷🤠👍
Thanks!
Thank you!
Did you shoot this with 17-40 L?
Thx for sharing Martin, your images look great and you make it look sooooo simple!!
Just a quick question, which might help me with my 6D & 16-35mm f4, when you say you don't want to crush the shadows can you end up blowing the highlights or is it easier to recover the highlights after exposing for the shadows.
Hope I've explained myself properly.
I guess essentially, what I'm saying is how far can exposing shadows go before the highlights are non recoverable.
Thx again and keep up your cracking channel! 😁👍
Hi Chris! its a judgement, if you look at the image that is the thumbnail of this video the highlights are completely blown out. But that suits the image, so I was looking at my histogram to make sure the shadow end of it was up to the left hand side but not being crushed in any way. There was enough dynamic range for me to still get plenty of colour in the highlights but not in brightest parts. In the end you have to decide what you want and the best way to do that is look at the back of the camera and say "does this look good" because in the end my goal is to get as close as possible to the final look in camera. So you have to choose what you want and this image for instance required the shadow detail. If i crushed the shadows the trees would be silhouettes.
@@MartinCastein Thankyou for replying!
Makes alot of sense👍
Should i get the 5d classic or 5d mark 2?
get the mark ii, its easier to live with, add the mark 1 one day if you feel you still want it.
Beautiful! Wondering what lenses would be great for videography of landscapes?
thats hard to say because it depends on how you want to show them, id probably start with a 24-70 or 24-105.
Hello Matin
Very nice 👍🏻
Could you point to a video where you show bracketing exposure shot? How you take these 3 shots? Thx 🙏
You j ow I will make a video on this next week I think. I think I might have covered it in a basic way somewhere but no idea which video I will make a video about it
Hello Martin, I enjoyed you're video and what you explained. Thanks. I also use the Canon MK2 , but I do look around for some more dynamic range. Do you have a camera, for the work you make, (because I also like that, forrest and landscapes with nice colors and also portraits) in mind what would be a great upgrade? Thanks
I think you should look at the 5div or maybe r8 r6 with an adapter if you feel like moving to mirrorless
@@MartinCasteinor Nikon D600 or 800 if you want to switch to Nikon for not much more than the 5D is worth.. but tbh dynamic range is.. kind of overrated. You only get like 6 stops in a print or SDR monitor anyways
Thanks
Thank you!!!!
@@MartinCastein you deserve it, thank you
Closest forest to me is the California Redwoods. 8 hr drive 😩
That’s probably nearly the size of my entire country the U.K. 🤣
@@MartinCastein lol. Had a lay over @ Heathrow years back but didn’t get to see England. Not enough time 😔
@@artsmodelstation9396 oh i dont know, i think you could have fitted it in in a couple of hours.
What lens are you using?
16-35 f4 is
5d mark 2 and live view? is it possible
yeah it can record video too. these were the break out features of this camera at the time.
@@MartinCastein how can i set live view feature
I have a video on my channel if you look through you will find it
I never recommend cameras like the 5d2 for this type of photography, not because it's a bad camera, it's just too much camera for this kind of photography. For its time, it was a suitable camera, since it combined high resolution and sufficient convenience and functionality for such tasks (there weren’t many cameras with live view). But overall there is a lot of money, and more importantly now - a lot of weight in the quality of the body, controls and the fact that it is a full frame. These features are not really necessary for walk around photography and for high depth of field photography like landscapes.
If you ask my advice now, I will say that perhaps something more “amateur” but a couple of years newer, perhaps with a little more developed functionality, will be better. “Amateur” cameras don't feel as good in the hand, and some settings are not so accessible, but handling overal not so bad for measured, thoughtful shooting, and these cameras are often lighter and have a rotating display, they can be used with a lighter tripod, and often shutter is softer. In the last decade, I shot a lot of forest scenes with 5D2, but when I was around someone with a camera like a D5300 or 650D or even a mirrorless camera, I felt a little silly with that kilogram body. They can get the exact same end result as me, but they carry less weight and have easier access to different angles.
But there is one important point - some old cheap film glasses can work perfectly with a pixel density of 5d2. And it's hard to find analogues on crop, taking into account the price. I mean the ancient EF 24 2.8 or 28 2.8, even 35 2 and 50 1.8. Close the aperture and the 5d2 will squeeze everything out of these lenses. But if you don’t need super sharp pictures, you should know that the Canon 18-55 IS kit lens is not so bad.
I agree with you, I just like it though, in the end I think that counts too.
do you usually shoot using the live view with 5dmk2 for exposure accuracy?
i get unpredicted exposure results when i use the viewfinder with this camera
I really like shooting with the lcd screens on cameras, I really enjoy being able to see the world around me and not look through the viewfinder i find it helps me see light and compositions a lot. Seeing the exposure is a bonus too and also its better for youtube that you can see what im doing on the back of the camera too. The 5d ii has poor meter in the camera it tends to over or under expose by a stop always. Shoot however you want to though, there is no right or wrong way and anyone saying something isnt pro needs to show their work and then back it up with a reason beyond "pros use viewfinders'🤣
@@MartinCastein do you have mirror lockup enabled? I’m not clear when to use that feature
@@spost26 no im just using live view thats all, should i show my settings for this do you think?
@@MartinCastein Yes please! I think it would be helpful
Hi Martin....sorry to jump in and it's a while ago now..but just watched this great Vid.... But did you ever show your settings for this ???
I watched this video hours ago and now it says it was released 34 minutes ago. What gives?
I had to upload it again, it got stuck in processing for hours at 360p resolution, couldnt do anything about it so had to upload it again.
