I watched again. You are right. Don't buy a camera if you do not like to photograph. The mechanics are simple as you have explained. It is like sailing. Sailing can be learned in a morning. Then it takes the rest of your life to be really good at it. And now I am out the door, camera in hand. Tak.
We keep learning from you Thorsten, healthy 2024 from the Netherlands
Thorsten, again, a very comfortable presentation, not riddled with technical jargon but awash with just plain good ideas. Such as your prime advice, "Always wear a camera." Tak.
Thank you 🙂
Welcome and Thank you for coming to teaching us photography. 🎉Happy new year.
Thank you 🙂
Good information for not just photographers, but also modern videographers who film with hybrid cameras. I will share this with my students.
Thank you 🙂
I was a Nikon shooter with the usual telephoto, zoom, primes. Now at 67 I wanted to simplfy my life. So, I purchased a used Leica M240. Now I enjoy photography. The feel of Leica, the simplicity. It looks as old as me. As Thorsten advised, I am viewing the world thru a 35mm lens. I find it quite restricting as I was used to a selection of lenses. But, the restriction has made me into a more selective photographer with clear intentions. It's the power of intention that Leica generates which I find so creative.
Thank you for all the information you share!
Much appreciated:-)
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
Health, wealth, luck and that all the important things you wish for will come true.
Oh, and
"Always wear a camera 📸"
These are the questions I have as a beginner. Perfectly explained.
Perfect 🙂
Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
I had a nice time watching this video :)
I found the philosophical side of things you discuss from the 'Ok, so what more?' chapter, to the end of this video, most interesting. Gently offered words of wisdom and light, that I found inspirational, and indeed they instantly helped me with a nagging problem I've been experiencing regarding the current direction of my street-photography, so thanks for that..great video!!...and all the very best for this coming year.
Glad to hear. I hear a lot from people that they like the 'philosophical' part of my books. Good to hear.
Thanks, Thorsten! Always inspiring!!! 📷
Thank you, Reggie 🙂
Perfect timing for me this video, cheers Thomas
Nice!
Very Nice! Thank you 📸
HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!
Happy new year to you too
Always informative you are. Thank you sir.
Welcome! Happy you watch the videos and like them 🙂
Great video! Thank you. I have a Leica M-A, a film camera. I think my simple, flat-bed scanner (Epson Perfection V600) has been giving both my M-A AND film photography a big black eye. In my scanner the film negatives are NOT pressed flat against the glass. For me to assume that an 8x10 print made from a "scanned" image - even a very high-resolution image (e.g. 9600 dpi) - would be of equal quality to an 8x10 image made directly from my film negative is my mistake. I think it's probably a given that a scanned, digitized image from a film negative CANNOT be as high quality as an image made directly from the negative itself. I think you could do "film" and my M-A a big favor by making this point in a video.
Thank you for your clear explanation. I find your videos very useful for those who love real photography because you focus on the essentials of photography. People who photograph with Leica really learn to photograph. Cinzio Gilioli
Thank you. Glad to hear that 🙂
"Always wear a camera." That one phrase could be life changing for me. I have several, so there's no excuse for not taking one along.
I would say they are the most unique lenses in the world and definitely the most historical. But the best is hugely subjective.
Very good explanation of photography. I think that I lot of modern cameras with multiple of buttons and menus over complicates the process for beginners.
Which 50mm Leica lens do you use most often?
All me weird and strange… but I keep coming back to the 40mm Summicron 🤷🏽♂️
A fun and compact lens. Only thing I miss is the framelines for it in the Leica M.
Do you recommend the Leica 50mm f2 APO-Summicron-M for Leica M6 or Leica MP for film photography? Some say this lens is designed for digital Leica M.
Frankly, I don't know if I would. It might give it a new glow never seen in film before, but intuitively I would stay with a classic 50mm like the 50mm Rigid www.overgaard.dk/leica_M4_50mm_summicron-M_20.html

... sorry, you have ever asked yourself as a guest in the restaurant with which pots the cook cooked a 3 *** menu, which brush Michel Angelo used while painting in the Sistine chapel or which hammer and meisel the eGypter when building the Have used pyramings?
Talk about photographs and pictures, about possibilities of the use of light and shadow, but listen to from comparisons with iPhone and Leica. If you don't see anything, one use you like the other for "the" photo.
Sorry, but that had to get out ... Frank
👍❤️👍
Tak skal du have! 📷🎄🇨🇦❄️🇩🇰🙂
…even a Leica aficionado like yourself must admit that they are well overpriced and have problems. I have many Leicas and love them all, but now as I am retired I realise that I cannot continue to afford to buy Leicas anymore and now only buy the more reliable, sell and forget Japanese cameras - and equally as good picture wise. I love your dry wit and deadpan expression! Please may you long continue with your exquisite posts!!
I've given up on feeling they are overpriced, but probably expensive. In the context of hotel prices, airline tickets and that my beloved goat butter now cost $14 a pack, it's hard to decide what it is ... other than that is the reality. I still buy Leica and feel comfortable with the value I get, I feel they honestly try to make real cameras and lenses they way they feel it should be done. Unlike for example a brand like Gucci where they piss you up and down the back and present a joke. As an example of something that started with a mission to deliver quality but forgot it over the years.
One day I might sell my unused lens caps and buy that island I always talked about 🙂
I’ve made a small fortune selling most of my Leica gear. I only have a Noctilux that I use on a Canon R6II.
They have the right to call whatever price they want as Leica simply has no competition when it comes to ergonomics, colour rendition and quality.
Even the last japanese went downhill during the last decade in all three aspects.
@@Funktrainerthat’s fucking bullshit take, those three aspects are improved along with the technology today that’s why pros are using them instead of Leica.
Leica only has no competition in rangefinder area which nobody except Pixii uses anymore because they’re old, outdated and not reliable technology for focusing.
@@ufukkiblat Sony users always talk like that 😉. They simply don't know better.
If it didn’t have an off button it will take 10,000 black photos while it’s in the bag. 😅
Take out the battery 🙂
@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard It’s more of a hassle than just moving your index finger a little (especially those of us using a bottom plate). But any camera really. It’s more of a job to take the battery out and put it back in than just flip the switch.
ISO in digital cameras has nothing to do with sensitivity of a sensor . It is applied gain ! ISO adjustment is applied after the shot is taken. Like you do in post editing but now done in camera.
Different story for another day. Less relevant to talk about now that you can do 3200 and 6400 ISO without much difference, compared to when 200 ISO was the highest you could do in year 2000 without getting weird colors and noise.
in 20 minutes but the clip is 33:13 minutes long
If you give him your email, he’ll spam you with vast amounts of marketing. Beware.
Thorsten Overgaard, the most overrated photographer on UA-cam.
