  • Back to Basics Street Photography - Canon 400D + 50mm POV
    In this one we're taking it right back to basics with the Canon 400D / Rebel XTi and a 50mm f1.8
    I take a walk through some industrial areas near to where I live and show that a super basic set up like this can produce great results.

    Hi David. I enjoyed that walk around. I still have my 400d, and have always thought that the colours it produced were quite special. I don't know how much processing you do, but the photos in this video reminded me just how much I like those colours!

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  2 роки тому

      I love the 400d, because despite its limitations, it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot with. I edit to varying degrees depending on what the image calls for but many of the images were edited using my free Clearly Autumn preset as a base and then dialed back a bit and then tweaked to suit the respective image. Thanks for watching 🖖

    That Camara is getting the job done! Great shots. Amazing what a good little workhorse the 400d seems to be. I Shot some stuff earlier today with mine( first day with it)..and I'm starting to get an idea of it's capabilities. It really offers quite a bit. The EFS 18-55 lens( stock lens) was actually very versatile and performed. I'm impressed with the camera for sure. Can't wait to try some other lenses. Great video.

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  Рік тому +1

      Yeah I have that same 18-55 and it’s a pretty solid lens. The 50mm I use in this video is an absolute corker and relatively inexpensive.

    I'm considering between a canon 1000D and a canon Eos 400D - Both cost roughly the same would love to get your advice on choosing between the both of these :)

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  2 роки тому +3

      The 1000d is a little newer than the 400d and as such, it has a few more features in some areas while retaining the same resolution. Live view is a big one for the way I like to shoot so based on that alone I'd lean towards the 1000d. Thanks for watching mate 🖖

  • @damianwojcikiewicz3951
    @damianwojcikiewicz3951 2 роки тому +1

    I’ve noticed photographers set the camera with different options. Some use for example 1/1000 and other 1/900 or 1/800 in the same places and same lights. Is it really matter? No difference in pics? 14:35 for example

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  2 роки тому +2

      It all depends on what you're trying to capture (moving or still), how you approach editing and the capability of the camera used. I know with my Sony's I can push the iso higher and recover shadows more easily than with the 400d. The secret is, there are no "best settings".
      The 2 photos around that time stamp were 1stop different in exposure, but in post I brought them to almost the same point. Thanks for watching 🖖

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial

      I use manual mode and the neutral profile, but I shoot raw so much of my look comes from the processing. As a base I often use the Clearly Autumn preset in my free pack and fine tune the images from there🖖

      I skip the originals because they’re irrelevant for the most part, not to mention that the video would end up being slideshow if I showed both lol.
