I really liked the fact that you used canon T6s on the tour and not 5Ds or anything. Really breaks the myth that, one only needs high end camera's to produce good results. Such a beauitful place btw.
+Rishabh Rai That was a goal of mine :) All modern cameras are capable of making gorgeous photos - it's about getting out and taking the time to make the shots.
Newbie question: How do you know what fstop to use to have everything in focus? At :44, your 3rd stop at some backroad, I noticed that you used an aperture setting of f5.6 but you want everything to be in focus. Wouldn't a smaller stop like f22 make a larger depth of field? Great photos btw.
Hi Dex- yes, The larger your fstop(ignoring that they are fractions) the larger your depth of field but very rarely do you need to go as high as f/22 - Your depth of field is determined by your focal length, where you are focusing in the frame and f stop. So with a wider lens, focused about 1/3 of the way into the frame f/5.6 will be fine in many situations. You can play around and learn more using the depth of field calculator found online. I will have a video on this subject soon. Thanks
Interesting. Are there any pitfalls to shooting at f22 as opposed to f5.6? More noise? Thank you for taking the time to reply - I know you're busy guy. Looking forward to more videos. Best.
as you close aperture down to f/22 you can suffer from increased diffraction which will cause a loss of sharpness - it is a small amount and is likely to not be noticeable in real world shooting but I don't go that high unless I am trying to cut light or create a starburst effect on lights.
I was surprised to see Vermont when I was scrolling through your videos. (I recognized the farm and road in Woodstock from the icon. LOL) I'm from Middlebury, Vermont! I'm really enjoying your videos although I am so new to photography that it's the manual settings that I am really in need of instruction on. Can you suggest anything?
HI Karen, Sorry I missed this comment earlier. I used to live in Brattleboro VT and have shot all over VT. I suggest ua-cam.com/play/PLCUnGRSvb-aJNI7ovQ8dn7erQxpnlyLmZ.html and you sign up for one of these tours j.mp/McKayPhoto :)
Thank you for your videos, they have been awesome. I'm a dentist and I do a lot of teaching. Currently I use Canon DSLR with 100mm macro and ring flash to shoot my photos. I have a 10D that has been a work horse for years..I also have a T4i. I would like to start shooting videos of some of my procedures. Keep in mind I usually prefer to shoot at higher apertures. So that I have a greater depth of field. What's your thoughts on a video set up I could use that is portable and could be used to produce some awesome video...I currently have a great comouter and am pretty good with premiere. My CPU core i7 4790k 32gb RAM and SSD for scratch and Geforce 780ti...love to know your thoughts on some gear
+jonty shapiro All timelapses you saw in this video were either shot as videos and sped up or the morning time lapse at the beginning was shot as stills using the Sony TL app which then creates a video in camera. More and more, for short timelapses Ireally like the video method - it is just so much faster. Longer stuff or when I want to carefully edit still images are still best but man they take forever to process.

+PhotoRec Toby That IS the truth I want to pass to loads of people who believe that only the most expensive cameras can take a photo worth admiring.
Yes, great point. As the old saying goes, it's the carpenter, not the tools.
Enjoyed seeing our trip through your eyes! Great weekend!
Great video I have the Nikon equivalent of the Canon T6S the Nikon D5500. Great little dslr. Great image quality when doing photography
I like these videos! Makes you want to get out take photos. Very inspiring and seeing u take photos, composition, angles, settings, lenses was nice
+133faceman Excellent - that's exactly our goal with these videos. Thanks!
Excellent Video. Learned so much and am looking forward to joining you again for the coast of Maine.
I wish we had scenery like that here in Southern California.
Beautiful country.
1st one nice trip and thanks a lot. I have learned many things from this video😙😙
Love the videos and yes, it looks like green screen. That was my first thought. lol
Especially when with the. Tameron 18-200 vc two
Great video it looks like you guys are living out your dreams.
This was a pretty cool behind-the-scenes video.
+Rob Kramer Thanks!

You should also mention the location

+Wesley Mullins What length of time do some of these procedures last and I imagine you have good light?
+PhotoRec Toby they could range from 5 min to 1 hr..total record time but the actual edited video could get it down on longer ones to 5-10 mins
+PhotoRec Toby yes we have light
+PhotoRec Toby canon t6s or canon 70d What is the best and why
+الــعـأإشـق الـمـحـب photorec.tv/2015/04/t6s-vs-t6i-vs-70d/ < your answer is here
Very Nice !!!
Are you making a video and then turning it into a timelaps or are you actually taking a bunch of photos?
