    Like the fact such a great photo didn't require a 5am start. So many video's focus on perfect light photography. As many (Most) amateur photographers work finding time to capture that ever so elusive perfect morning glow is really difficult, I'm normally on the M4 at this time. So if I only took photos in great light I'd hardly ever take any. So thank you Julian for reminding me that I can take photos in almost any light, just choose the subject. Brilliant video as my waffle above probably shows I found it inspiring. My camera hasn't been out for nearly a month, it's out tomorrow!

      Thanks Steve, and great to hear you've been inspired to get your camera out. Did it go well? I'm a sucker for a big sunrise, but I think it's important to have a few creative ideas up your sleeve for when the weather is less than perfect....which in the winter in the UK is a lot! As you say, if all we did was wait for good light we'd never get out! 😀👍

    Beautiful image Julian and I would say it would work well in B&W as well. Nice easy process on the photo keeping it natural. I have recently bought a canon pro 100s and still trying to get to grips with. What is the canon pro studio, I have never heard of that programme.

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks Terry, I like to keep things simple and natural when I can. Print Studio Pro is Canon's own printing software (and works as a plugin in LR). You can download it here: www.canon.co.uk/printers/inkjet/pixma/professional_photo_printers/print_studio_pro/ It's compatible with the Pro-100S so it should have been on the driver disc in the box (though you'll want to download the latest version).

    Great to see the process end-to-end Julian and a lovely image it is too. How did you manage to find a time with no one else around? My calibrator and photo paper has been in storage since September and just came out this week so I am ready to do some printing again. With the current weather, spending some time going back through the last six months' images is probably no bad thing.

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому +1

      Glad you enjoyed seeing the complete process and the final result. There were a few people about, but most were walkers and runners so they didn't hang about long. Going at dawn keeps most people away, and going on a grey flat day keeps most early morning photographers away as well. I managed to squeeze this shoot in early one Friday morning (sunrise), so a little quieter again. Hope you find some gems in your catalogue! 👍

    @richardwood6121 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the video Julian. Great to see the image getting edited and printed. I'd be interested to learn more about preparing the image file for printing, running costs and maintenance. I currently use lab printing, order up a sample print (12x8" or similar) and when I'm happy I order a framed print which can be expensive.
    I'd love to own a printer but I'm there's the inital outlay and the cost of replacement inks etc to worry about. Another concern is if I didn't print anything for a couple of months would this risk ink blockages etc? Perhaps I've been unduly influenced by Thomas Heaton's 'Who'd own a printer video'. Would be great to hear mooire from you about printer maintenance and running costs.
    Having said that, I'm a Nikon Z6 owner and there's the 70-200mm F2.8 lens getting released in June. Gradually coming to the conclusion that resistance is futile, I'm sure you'll understand ;)

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Richard. In terms of preparing the file for printing I don't do anything other than what I do in editing. I have a fairly simple workflow and there isn't much more than what you saw. I select Print, set the paper (and associated ICC profile) and margin sizes and go for it. I've never had a problem with blockages on my Pro-10S. It's had several periods where it's been turned off for weeks at a time, or left on and nothing printed for days, and I've not had an issue.
      Running costs are a little more tricky. Replacement genuine Canon ink tanks for the Pro-10S are around £9.50 each from Amazon. However, there is no easy way to work out how much each print costs in terms of ink. If you look at Canon's published tank yields I would estimate that an A3+ print costs around £1.54. Personally though, I don't concern myself with the costs too much. I don't mean that money is no object for me, but I consider the running costs of the printer just another line item of cost in my photography like petrol to get to all these locations. I appreciate not everyone can have the same attitude as that but given everything else that I spent money on my photography, ink is probably low down in the yearly expenses.
      Still, given the choice between the 70-200 f/2.8 Z lens and a printer, I'd probably go with the lens! :-)
      Not sure if any of that helped?!

    • @richardwood6121
      @richardwood6121 4 роки тому +1

      @@jbairdexp Thanks for the reply Julian. I've found that getting acceptable prints has been the most difficult part of my photography journey. After purchasing a calibration device (Spyder X Pro) and still getting too dark prints, further research made me realise my cheap and cheerful monitor just wasn't designed for calibration. My new BenQ 270C sorted that issue, my prints are now much closer to what I'm seeing on screen. I regard it as a worthwhile expense as it affects every image. It led to a replacement for my aging pc which couldn't supply the necessary resolution but that was a purchase I had been putting off for at least 3 years.
      I'm rambling on a bit here, but one final question. Your print was framed pretty quickly, do you buy standard frame sizes and then size your prints to fit the frame? Apologies for the rambling, thanks again for engaging.

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому +1

      No apologies necessary Richard! 😀 You can't beat the quality of a very good monitor. If you ever calibrate a cheap monitor and a decent one side by side and the see the differences in colour range you'll know what I mean. I've actually got a a few frames that I use on a regular basis and I just swap the prints when I see fit. So for this video I already had a frame ready, so just printed the image to fit. In other videos, such as this one - ua-cam.com/video/FJYOckTLbyA/v-deo.html - I ordered a custom frame to meet the specifications of the print. 😀

  • @dimitristsagdis7340
    @dimitristsagdis7340 4 роки тому +1

    Very nice, tnx for sharing. A question though: doesn't printing all the way to the edge mess up your printer inside with ink? And the frames are A3+ and have a mounting all around are they standard?

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому

      Thanks Dimitris. I've had no problems with ink inside the printer by printing edge to edge. 😀 I order all from my frames from www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk/ - I can configure the frame to my exact requirements. So there is nothing special about the frame components, but I do have them made to measure.👍

  • @zebraprinter
    @zebraprinter 4 роки тому +1

    Hi Julian. There are a couple of reasons that I don't print my own work. The first one is that when I used to do it years ago it would fade after time and lose the colours.
    The second is cost. How much do you think it costs to do an A3 because for me to get it printed high quality is about £7.00.

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому

      Hi Barry. I can't say that I've noticed any fade in my prints but then again I've only been making prints for a few years. I use genuine Canon Lucia inks so I'm confident that they will last (coupled with a high quality paper). Ink cost is a hard thing to estimate because there is no way to measure how much ink is used to make a print (you can in the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000). However, based on Canon's published ink tank yields, I've estimated that an A3+ print costs around £1.50 in ink. I print on A3+ papers from Fotospeed which cost from £2.92 to £3.48 per sheet. So I'd say that print you saw cost me around a £5 (which is less than what I spent on petrol getting to Lyme Regis).😀

    • @jbairdexp
      @jbairdexp  4 роки тому +1

      The monitor I use for my photography (the one nearest the camera) is an Eizo CX217 calibrated with a SypderX. The other monitor is connected to a laptop and isn't used in any of my photography or video workflows. Eizo monitors are pricey, but the BenQ PhotoVue range is highly rated and I am considering getting one so I can jump from 2K to 4K resolution.👍
