Heck yeah, Dustin. Stoked on how this came out and it's so wild to think how long we've each been doing this stuff! Mind blowing. Thanks for your super professional job here. Means the world. xo
I remember the first time you shot the builders behind the bikes, with the bikes out of focus, and it absolutely made me pause and think “damn! I’ve never seen that!” And of course everyone copied it immediately!
DK, what have you done to me? I felt empty last week, couldn’t figure out why, and then I realized it was because there was no EBD coming into my feed. Hope you had a good, healing trip.
This guy is a lot better than me and did things that I would consider errors, which means I just saw past the horizon of my abilities. It's always a good day when you get new lessons handed to you.
I'm an architect, ride bikes and are into photography. You couldn't have made a more niche video for me! Love it and what great insights from such a cool person!!
I realized I screwed it up as soon as it came out of my mouth. Dustin caught me at the end of the day and I was exhausted after already shooting for a few days. My apologies to the locals! haha - It's like everyone that misprounces "Rio Grande" here in New Mexico. Drives me nuts!
My favorite UA-cam content creator showcasing my favorite facebook page?!?! Sweet baby Jesus bike geek worlds colliding !!! Great content as always!!! 👍🏼
Nice story… I always like your stories, but this one resonates with me as a photographer. Great insights. And your capture and edit of this grips your attention. Excellent work. Curious… Are you shooting with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3?
I remember meeting John briefly at Golden Saddle many years ago. I had bought a used custom frame off of eBay and needed something from the shop. He immediately noticed a bunch of details about the frame that I hadn't even noticed. That he brings this level of detail to his bike photography makes total sense. Cool video!
John probably has that same drawer I have filled with lens caps. Need that stick tho, relying on luck finding the perfect wood stick when I wanna shot bikes is not a strong strategy.
I really like this interview. As someone whos main hobby is photography who just gets into bikes, this ticks all the boxes. Also "everybody's lookin at their shit on their phone" hahaha this is so true :D
Thank you for this video, I love his style and I am stoked to have learned the basics through this video. About to take my photography to the next level with these tips!
That does it. My 5d3 and 70-200 are heading out to photograph my newish Fargo. My pics of it suck. What a maestro! Great, informative video, again. Thx. 14:10
That was tight. Tips from the master. Side note, was visiting Portland last weekend (from California), my Girlfriend and I are eating alone in a completely empty Vietnamese noodle place on Saturday. She says to me, "Don't you follow a bike UA-camr who lives in Portland?" Less than 15 seconds later, Ellie (DK's wife) walks in and sits down at a table. I'm like... how is that even possible? We didn't bother her but just whispered about how unlikely that was amongst ourselves throughout the rest of lunch. Small world.
I love all your videos, DK, but this was the one where «Everything's Been Done» clicked with me. John didn't only share tips about photography, he shared important conceptual ideas on how to be original. Big respect to both of you.
Loved this. I always used Nikon stuff back when I was shooting press jobs, but the R series stuff from Canon is *Saul from Coming to America voice* BEAUTIFUL
@johnprolly is a true gentleman. Through the overlanding/4x4 scene years ago he offered me a place to stay if I visited stateside. Always love seeing his photographic work.
Bro said it. Most media is consumed on a cell phone or a tablet. Extra effort going into these ultra crisp videos and photos is just wasted time and effort. Not to say you shouldn't do it but definitely don't end your life trying to do it.
I don’t think I take a ride without at least one photo of the bike I’m riding. Great video, great photo tips. Great creativity from both of you……ENJOY THE RIDE
That was VERY cool. Take that guy on a ride with you and your posse and ask him to take some photos along the way! By the way, 02:50 the word ACTUALLY is spelled wrong. Sorry. Can't help it!
Dammmm, the crank position is such a good shout! I take bike photos all year then pick the best of each month to make a calendar for the next year so gonna use that now. Nice1
Some great lessons from the master! Thank you Dustin and John. I like the part at 8:56 when he talks about aperture. I feel like some people shoot wide open all the time because it "looks cool" but sometimes they end up losing details of the bike.
I’ve been following his work since the Brooklyn fixed gear Prolly days, but to say he is “single-handedly responsible for setting the standard of bicycle photography to this day” is really disrespectful to all the other working photographers in the bike industry. I really admire that John focuses his work around small builders and the cottage cycling industry, but I swear some people act like the dude invented the 70-200 lens lol.
No disrespect intended. Just because someone gives someone else praise doesn't mean others are unworthy of praise. I don't understand this cultural phenomenon.
1\200, not 200 milliseconds. So, if the photographer mentioned 200 milliseconds (1/5 second), it's too slow for a 200mm lens, especially for handheld shots. It would be more appropriate to use a shutter speed of 1/200 second or faster (e.g., 1/250, 1/500) to minimize camera shake.

You shared all your secrets....except.....what is the bike stand
@@mfmeow206 Stinner Frameworks (it's in the video)
This was a pure and total honor thank you J!!
Every major hobby must have an equally important minor hobby to support the major hobby. Or something like that. Bike needs camera.
Super nice!
The real skill is to be able to connect them one all in some form or another.
DK, what have you done to me? I felt empty last week, couldn’t figure out why, and then I realized it was because there was no EBD coming into my feed. Hope you had a good, healing trip.
I was on my walkabout. But Im BACK BABY ;)
This video satisfied my daily dose of 2 things I can really nerd out on: bikes and photography 🤘🏽❤😎
My work here is complete!
@@EverythingsBeenDone for this video yes, but don't quit yet, keep them videos coming 🙏🏽
This guy is a lot better than me and did things that I would consider errors, which means I just saw past the horizon of my abilities. It's always a good day when you get new lessons handed to you.
This one is a keeper. There were several things I learned from John on this as well.
#prollyisnotprobably
Very cool. Great video just hearing John talk about his process. Thanks !
I had a feeling this one was going to interesting. Talking with John had way more depth then I expected...such a cool experience to be able to share.
You had me at "crank lined up with the chainstay".
I'm an architect, ride bikes and are into photography. You couldn't have made a more niche video for me! Love it and what great insights from such a cool person!!
\m/
Johns considered approach to every step of this process is truly appreciated.
its WilAMMette goddamnit! 😂

What a fabulous episode! Well done, friend. John Prolly seems like an awesome dude. Love the Radivist.
This one was a long time coming. Honored to be able to hear Johns approach to photography.
Cool point of view from a cool dude.
Well said!
Who remembers #prollyisnotprobably ?
I really liked this video. Thank you.
This makes my day Alex!!
man... you don't have an idea how many times I have scratched my head asking 'Who is holding that bike???' in his pictures...
Very nice indeed love the nerdy bike talk since I’m always talking nerdy bike talk haha.
Great looking pictures as well!.
My favorite UA-cam content creator showcasing my favorite facebook page?!?! Sweet baby Jesus bike geek worlds colliding !!! Great content as always!!! 👍🏼
This is a real working photographer... you can tell because he's part of the UV filter/no lens cap mafia 😂
#SayNoToLensCaps haha
I love how every aspect of the process is considered!
Cool! Love hearing about his process. Thanks.
May all our photos benefit from this!
Nice story… I always like your stories, but this one resonates with me as a photographer. Great insights. And your capture and edit of this grips your attention. Excellent work.
Curious… Are you shooting with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3?
As a professional photographer and videographer working for a bicycle company I agree with just about everything said in this video!
"You don't have to be crazy about it." - Don't tell me what to do, John! I'll be as crazy as I want.
Bawhahahahaha you go grrrrl
GET CRAY!
I remember meeting John briefly at Golden Saddle many years ago. I had bought a used custom frame off of eBay and needed something from the shop. He immediately noticed a bunch of details about the frame that I hadn't even noticed. That he brings this level of detail to his bike photography makes total sense. Cool video!
Cheers! It's a lifelong obsession! xo
its a yearly honor/highlight of mine to have a bike shot by JW --- lens master of the bicycle --- nice video!
We gotta make it happen more than once a year. I need to wade into the tick jungles and go through the shed of bicycle glory holes with you!
Awesome, really like how John is breaking down his thought process and showing the end-result. Inspiring.
John probably has that same drawer I have filled with lens caps. Need that stick tho, relying on luck finding the perfect wood stick when I wanna shot bikes is not a strong strategy.
Loved every second of whatever this was. Keep doing what you're doing. Both of you.
I really like this interview. As someone whos main hobby is photography who just gets into bikes, this ticks all the boxes. Also "everybody's lookin at their shit on their phone" hahaha this is so true :D
Your best video by far and one of the best I've seen in a while. Maybe because I like cycling and photography 🙂
Thank you for this video, I love his style and I am stoked to have learned the basics through this video. About to take my photography to the next level with these tips!
Now these are some top tips from the man himself. Great hearing John speak about his work, he seems so positive and enthusiastic. Thanks Dustin!
Hell yeah. Awesome stuff. Keep up the great work.. both of ya.. and all the Made folks too.
Rad stuff! Been waiting for an episode with the Radavist himself!
I'd love to get a bike stand like that.. Love it. And thanks for the video..
That does it. My 5d3 and 70-200 are heading out to photograph my newish Fargo. My pics of it suck. What a maestro! Great, informative video, again. Thx. 14:10
This makes my day!! It would be really cool to see your previous photo next to your new photo(maybe carousel on IG?)
@@EverythingsBeenDone I shot my Fargo, and put the pics on my Smugmug site. I need to reshoot a few to hide irrelevant stuff.
Great video, great ideas to shot bikes
greetings from argentina
Hey did John give any info on the bike stand he’s using or how to get one?
It's Stinner Frameworks.
That was tight. Tips from the master.
Side note, was visiting Portland last weekend (from California), my Girlfriend and I are eating alone in a completely empty Vietnamese noodle place on Saturday. She says to me, "Don't you follow a bike UA-camr who lives in Portland?" Less than 15 seconds later, Ellie (DK's wife) walks in and sits down at a table. I'm like... how is that even possible?

Synchronicity at its finest! Hope you had a good time in Portland.
So thrilled to see all the StravaGram photos this inspires!
That was very good, loved every minute.
Always rad to hear from John Prolly Not Probably! His pics are always the icing on the cake on any radavist article!
Very well done. Thanks for this one. Love the behind the scenes and process perspective.
Such a nerd - love it! Good stuff.
Thats what we are here for!
Still miss when the site was called Prolly is Not Probably!
I miss prolly is not probably
I love all your videos, DK, but this was the one where «Everything's Been Done» clicked with me. John didn't only share tips about photography, he shared important conceptual ideas on how to be original. Big respect to both of you.
Much respect! Thanks cheers for the supper! 🤜❤️🤛
gr8 video, THX!
Loved this. I always used Nikon stuff back when I was shooting press jobs, but the R series stuff from Canon is *Saul from Coming to America voice* BEAUTIFUL
Ive stubbornly stuck with Canon since film and the R series is legit (I have R6 & R5c)
The quality of the light during the interview in this is amazing. Well done - Looks dope 😎
Best light of the weekend!
wooo I was following Prolly is Not Probably before he turned into Radavist!
Thats whats up!!
Great to see the method behind the stunning results.
Turns out John is also a great teacher!
@johnprolly is a true gentleman. Through the overlanding/4x4 scene years ago he offered me a place to stay if I visited stateside. Always love seeing his photographic work.
Cheers man! The offer is still open! 🙂
@@johnprolly a gentleman and a scholar!
Whoa!! Prolly in not Probably!!
In the digital ;)
tysm for making this video!
Your appreciation does wonders! 💫

Hey Dustin! Thanks for the video. Would you know where he got the bikestand propping thing? Thanks man!
That was VERY cool. Take that guy on a ride with you and your posse and ask him to take some photos along the way! By the way, 02:50 the word ACTUALLY is spelled wrong. Sorry. Can't help it!
Cool dude, enjoy listening to him explain his process and I have 0 knowledge in photography
Dammmm, the crank position is such a good shout! I take bike photos all year then pick the best of each month to make a calendar for the next year so gonna use that now. Nice1
I am just really enjoying his nerdom; infectious
Best bicycle photography on the interweb. Fact.
A lot of “oh yeah, never thought of approaching on that away?! Makes sense.”
6.5e-18 parsecs is a great focal length for shooting bikes
This was really cool! Ive always loved Johns work.
Well that's upped my Insta....
Nice... 🤩 Can me as a normal mortal can but this stand?
Great video! John is such a legend ❤
I missed some "Blow up" references. 😅
prolly is not probably 😘
Prolly not probably
Prolly gonna be a good vid.
Makes me want to get a 70-200 even more now 😅
Fantastic stuff!
what a nice guy!

Darn, I'm gonna have to bring my 70-200mm on the rides to take the stupid Strava shots from now on...
You can hit those same fundamentals with an iPhone. Just zoom in 3x.
To much braging on very simple subject~
Minutiae is the bastion of the nerd.
Apropos of nothing, Sycip has the sweetest head tube badge.
Right?
Koool video I learned so much things thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Buy Cycle Ad is ironic since Prolly was owned one tine by TPC…
I was never owned by anyone. ;-)
"it's a girl" 💀💀💀
😂🤣🧑🍼
Great video and info!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I feel like you’re reading too into it. John’s point was made regardless of the exact semantics of it.
