    Great vid, shame about the wind noise. Good tip is to put your mic on the inside of your shirt. You can use a bit of gaff tape to hold it in place. Make it a bit of a wedge so that your shirt doesn't brush up against it. We used this technique to shoot a documentary.

  • @emilycross4527
    @emilycross4527 2 роки тому

    Vanessa’s shot is interesting because with the cloud, there is kind of a natural vignetting effect with the blue sky around the edges. Key takeaways, wildlife photography is hard, and faster shutter speed never hurts. Because honestly, for a given lens I generally have no idea if it’s stabilized or not without searching the specs, which I’m unlikely to do every time I swap a lens.

    Fortunately the Tamron 150-600mm G2 is a very different lens than the one Chelsea used. I frequently shoot wildlife wide open at 600mm and get fantastically sharp images. So, if one is inclined to buy a 150-600 be sure to get the newer G2 or one of the Sigmas, which are also newer designs.

    Vanessa kept it real, ha-ha...too real with that 10D...but impressively still managed to get tack sharp shots. Wildlife is Chelsea's thing, but Vanessa's shots IMO spoke more to me.

Pictures are soft. I experimented with different apertures, and I figured that I could get decently sharp images at f/11. Anyway, I am thrilled seeing Vanessa Joy doing bird photography.

    I have to give this to Vanessa because she had the budget camera and I'm guessing 7 or 9 focus points and still got the photo sharp with no stabilization whatsoever. I think Chelsea needed some coffee to help her remember she had a soft Tamron lens @ 600mm. I don't have that problem with the Sigma 15-600mm Contemporary lens but hey apple to apples I say.

    Great job - your print exceeded my expectations and gives Chelsea and her much newer Nikon gear a real competition. I think credit is also owed to that legendary EF 400mm 5.6L glass, which still does very well especially when you add the IBIS from the R3/R5/R6.

    10D and the D7500......budget in the used market today, but when new it is expensive for most consumers. Both cameras when new were in the enthusiast price range ($1200+). I guess budget for me is an entry level consumer DSLR (with no magnesium alloy weather sealed bodies) paired with a consumer level zoom. In the hands of seasoned photographers, older enthusiast model camera bodies and lens should continue to yield great results. After all back then when the gear was new, pros were able to generate wonderful images from these cameras. No reason wonderful images can't be created with these cameras in the capable hands of Vanessa and Chelsea today. I guess I kinda have a different idea of budget and missed the boat on this shootout.

Maybe a next idea for yet another video would be to take things even further - how about getting e.g. an original EOS 650 from 1987 (obviously a film camera) and pairing it up with a lens from that era ? Could be interesting to see...

    Proof that the gear means little and having a better eye for a composition trumps all as your image is far better. I like these challenges as it does show you can have the swankiest top end gear which does most of the heavy lifting and get nice looking images but without a good eye and sense of composition and how to frame you are far from a great photographer. Nice work.
