How to get the best colors: “I barely edit”. Sick dude, very helpful.
Thank you for just editing the video without fast cuts or anything flashy. It's a breath of fresh air! And my method to editing is very similar, but I tend to tinker with the highlights and shadows and white balance too much, to get it 'perfect'.
It is always so refreshing hearing your process and I already knew I gravitated toward you because of your simplistic approach to editing and focus on in camera shooting. It’s funny because I fell in love with photography through the editing process but the more I shoot the more I find it a nuisance. These days I find myself importing directly to my phone and editing from there because it’s simple, quicker and convenient. I still love to edit but it’s your simple approach that I too align with that makes the overall experience so much better. Hope you’re well, Sam!
really appreciate it! thanks for the kind words
@@SamuelElkinsPhotowhat are you using to edit on your phone?
Thanks for the video! I am the owner of the x-t2 and the source quality gets better when the correct white balance and exposure are set for each film. And even with this old camera, I still haven't reached the limit of my abilities.
Thank you for sharing this, Sam. It’s always refreshing to hear your process and to see your minimalist approach to capturing beautiful images.
Nice take away I had for portraits: starting with the Velvia profile on raws in Lightroom. I've always struggled with getting richer tones in studio portraits, especially with people of color. I started fiddling with that on some existing images, and was impressed that it was easier to pull back the saturation than it is to add saturation with some of the other profiles. Thanks!
Always love your colors, this really is and interesting episode Sam
I just want to appreciate the choice of warm tones on the yt video. It feels good)
Great information! Looking forward to the lighting set-up videos.
Great video! Keep up the great work!
Something I kinda learned from you and that helped me a lot is how important white balance is. I used to shoot in auto wb all the time and many cameras tend to be too cold or lean towards magenta with auto wb. If your eyes aren't that trained yet you just think why does my image look so bad and don't really understand why. Shooting Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten wb instead made my raw files so much better and a better starting point for editing.
absolutley! great to get everything dialed in before you start shooting. makes the editing process that much easier
Hey Sam, could you do a video using the Sony ZV-1.. I love your style and want to see what the camera is capable of. Thanks
Thanks Sam!
This is one I have been waiting for my friend…thank you so much for sharing your insight and being transparent with your process.
I’m a huge fan of your work and I also shoot the Fuji system so there is a ton to take away from this video.
I really love your simplistic approach and you couldn’t have said it better regarding doing what you can to get as much dialled in camera as possible.
Great stuff mate! 🤌🏼
How you set the white balance when you are shooting? Thank you, Sam.
Soon 200k, well deserved Samuel!!
Thank you!
Would love to see you doing a review on Leica SL2 + APO-Summicron-SL lenses
Def feel the same when I got into photography the trend was to really over edit images. I shoot now as simple as possible keeping the image as real true to life as possible
The edited ig story pics you post, usually food, is that from a camera or an iphone edit? Curious about how you edit those and if you use lightroom mobile or similar to get that look?
Hey Samuel, how do you export your pics/vids to keep the same quality?
Great video. I like how simple you keep your edits. But the warmth in your images you add it with temperature or sometime you use the split tone?
sometimes split tone, sometimes temp adjustment. it all really depends on the look i'm going for
So, are you saying that it is easier to adjust colors in raw images if you adjust the jpeg the way you like it in the camera? Thanks Sam! Geoff
What camera and what lens was used to record this video?
No idea what lens was used, but if I remember correctly from his Room guide or whatever video, he uses Canon c70 to record his videos with, I might be wrong but I think
Hey I ve got a question: what editing software do you use when editing fujifilm photos? I ve seen online that lightroom doesn t handle the fuji sensor very well and it affects the sharpness of the image.
As always, dope video my friend!
Also you left 3 minutes of black at the end haha
Yup just fixed it lol
Can you do a video like this with the R5 because the raw files in Lightroom completely change from what you shoot in camera. Ide like to know how you deal with that file.
Interested in this as well!
Any Capture One or Fuji X vids?
great video
Hey Sam and others, about to buy my first Fuji - your thoughts on Capture One vs LightRoom. You obviously do just fine with LR
I have both and I kept Lightroom. I find it easier to use (I'm only an enthusiast and C1 is apparently more for the pros and stuff, didn't like it). The only pb with LR is how it renders the Fuji RAWs but there are tools to sharpen the files nicely.
@@SIQmai Thanks dude!
What do you prefer as your daily driver? The XT5 or actually the GFX100S?
gfx for most things, xt5 for a small compact but practical setup
@@SamuelElkinsPhoto Makes sense! I am invested in X system lenses and had a Hasselblad X2D as well. May go all in with Fuji as the combination of APSC and Medium Format with the same color science is really practical ☺️
hey sam, im a huge fan and im in the market for a upgrade on my equipment so i hope you dont mind me asking. if you had choice, would you get a R5 or GFX system (50s ii) ?
so tough - i think if you want to do any sort of video work r5 all the way because it's a very capable video + photo cam. gfx is very niche and tough to use at times if you need a faster camera or more video centric features.
@@SamuelElkinsPhoto thanks
I shoot with Fuji as well!
I just asked this on your q&a yesterday lol😅
Did not expect to see photos of Dunsmoor in this vid
One of the best restaurants
Film recipe ?
If fuji released an X100 with real manual focus with a distance scale, I'll sell my M10-P. The colors on the M10 is too coop and is a pain to edit for a casual shooter.
What bag is that at 1:43?
Sam has a dedicated video for his 3 backpacks
I think it is Shimoda X Series. But not sure it is x30 , x50 or x70.
yup shimoda
And they said the Rode PodMic isn't a side address mic...
😆
just so you know the last couple minutes are blank!
thank you! just fixed lol
There is also a small section at the beginning where you do a couple of different takes - think you would have put an edit in to take one out?
