A plethora of tips and advice, thank you. But, what I really enjoyed was watching you enjoy the adverse weather conditions and the results you achieved. Brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍
Fair play for producing a video in those conditions. I love the muted tones in heavy rain. Also… nice touch including the rain audio when displaying your images, it provided a lovely continuity to the story you were telling.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍
I am used to take the shoot of landscape with my Kase landscape filters set, good for me to control the light outdoors.
I've watched quite a few people on UA-cam now regarding Fujifilm cameras, I watch a lot from your channel and I never miss your latest ~ since you are a Fuji photographer and you give good advice. I've recently committed to Fujifilm buying the X-T5! Love the whole concept and it's brought me back my enthusiasm for photography. I've been a Nikon user for some 40 years ish. I generally use manual and always RAW. I am struggling with Fujifilm; one time my images are stunning and the next end up in the bin. This video I think might just be the answer for me. Yes I know about the crop factor (or so I thought 😢).... thanks very much
Thanks buddy, it always takes a little time to learn a new system, after a while it will all click into place and i'm sure your success rate will improve. keep shooting👍👍
Great vlog In those conditions and very helpful for telephoto photography 👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Ian- Have you considered an umbrella! It's painful to watch you in the pouring-down rain thinking, "Why doesn't he use an umbrella?" Anyway, great photos... wow!
I do, its just a little difficult juggling 2 cameras and 2 tripods as well. Plus, I forgot to bring it on this trip haha 🤣
Boy, I sure wish I'd seen this video 2 days ago when I was shooting whales with a long telephoto. I didn't realize I needed to take the crop factor into consideration. Now it all makes sense.
Hopefully your shots came out well anyway. 👍👍
@@ian_worth Not too bad, but they'll be better in the future, with your great suggestions.
Cropfactor on a crop body? Such a concept
Personally I’m skeptical about the crop factor as a 300mm lens is a 300mm lens no matter crop or full frame however until recently crop sensor had more pixels than FF re density which require faster shutter speeds.
Excellent - thanks Ian!!!
Tricky conditions for sure but perseverance pays off. Good tips too, always forget about the 1/focal length one.
Thanks buddy 👍
Thanks Ian. That was really helpful particularly the relationship between speed and and focal length combined with cropping factor. Really good pictures. Those trees are serving you well.
Thanks Christopher, yeah i keep going back to them 😊👍
The biggest problem with telephoto where I shoot is the heat shimmer, and there is nothing you can do about it other than trying to get to your subject closer.
I quite enjoyed this. Thank you for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Excellent information! Very much appreciated and thanks for taking me along!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍
Using a 2.5" Hoodman loupe on the live view screen zoomed all the way in to subject will get the sharpest focus possible w/ tripod or handheld.
It's probably a minimal difference in the world of handheld camera sizes, but I often use the same technique with adjustable camera tripod legs as I do with my adjustable (astronomical) telescope tripod legs: Use the largest diameter legs sections possible. Extend the larger (i.e., outer) sections first, using the smaller sections only if they're needed for the height they provide. In other words, extend from the top down, not from the bottom up. Larger diameter tubes are stiffer than small diameter tubes and will be more stable.
Very good points and a great video.
I agree Len, the only time its preferable to extend the bottom section first would be when the tripod is in water, or at the beach as it stops sand/water getting into the legs 👍
@@ian_worth same goes for sand.
Excellent video, really interesting
Glad you think so! 👍👍
Perfect timing! I just got some telephotos for wildlife but now will try some landscapes as well. Following your tips of course. Wonderful video.
Fantastic! enjoy 👍👍
Great video Ian and your a hero for doing this in these awful condition, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and you've certainly given me some gr8 tips, and from now on Im always using a cable or timer for telephoto shots whilst on a tripod.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍👍
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😊👍
Beautiful images, great topic regards to telephoto stabilization explained very clearly, love your dedication to the art!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent content Ian 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
Many golden nuggets Ian. Really practical informative video. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍👍
Hi Ian,
Another interesting video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it Peter 👍
Great video!
100-400 is definitely my favourite lens, hands down.
I would love to give it a try Sam 👍
Another very useful review, Ian. One additional tip, in case it is helpful. You mentioned the concern about hanging your camera bag from your tripod as ballast in very windy conditions, since the bag can act as a sail and so reduce rather than enhance stability. Very true. One workaround I have used successfully is to leave the camera bag flat on the ground, and to attach it to the tripod hook via a heavy-duty bungee cord that is stretched taut. I carry a couple of these of different lengths in my camera bag so I can adapt to different tripod heights. In truly horrible conditions, the cords might also be attached to an even more stable anchor, like a log or a crevice in a rock. This approach has worked very well for me, even in exceptionally-heavy winds in places like Iceland and the West Coast of Ireland.
That's a really good idea, 👍👍
I carry some para cord to tension my bag or tent stake under the tripod. That way the bag doesn’t sway because it still on the ground. It’s also useful for pulling branches out of frame.
great idea 👍👍
For sure Ian with Ibis and added lens I/S it is amazing how low a shutter speed you can get on that 70/300 and getting sharp images.
it really is amazing 👍
It seems worth mentioning that the '1/focal length' guideline is usually when holding the camera like a photo camera [SLR/DSLR] rather than a mobile phone camera.
Great advice Ian. Hand held landscape telephoto photography can be a bit hit and miss. One tip I would use is shooting multiple frames. Increases your chance of a keeper. I always carry a brolly with me as well when it’s forecast to rain .☔️. Bit tricky when filming as well as taking photos I should imagine? Amazing effort in these conditions. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Steve, yeah a brolly is great but like you mentioned, difficult whilst juggling two cameras and tripods👍
ci vogliono macchina e obbiettivi WR .
Thanks Ian. Both my cameras have IBIS but I’ll be more aware of shutter speed in future, especially when using my vintage 135mm prime which is quite long with the adapter.
Thanks buddy, glad it was helpful 👍👍
LOL I got new headphones. I was trying to get the sound to work better when it was your mic all along.
Great video thanks Ian, just one titbit on hanging your bag under, I agree it introduces shake and if I am in a position where I have to do it I use a couple of elastic loops to enable the bag to rest on the floor and not move but keeps enough weight acting on the tripod to help. I must admit I use the technique less and less with IBIS and OIS and I much prefer to get low and use an umbrella to shield the camera from the wind.
Good tip Andrew, I've never tried this, but it sounds like a great idea 👍👍
I use the XH2 and 100-400 ,both have IBIS, the problem happens when you have a moving subject then you need a high shutter speed to freeze the subject
Very true 👍👍
Great video...I didn't think to take in the crop factor when using telephoto lens & calculating shutter speed.... thanks for sharing... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Good advice. I've just came to the same conclusion about using a longer lens for landscape this week. I know that a shot wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't used 156mm.
I've been having a bit of back trouble lately and have been limited how much gear I can carry without pain. While the tripod is best, I've found a light monopod is a good compromise when trying to hold a heavy camera/lens combination.
Interesting thing about when to use IBIS. Must check my camera specs.
Thanks buddy 👍
One of your best videos. Thank you for “keeping it real.” I liked the examples of telephoto images interspersed between the video. However, I have two questions. 1) Since you are using a crop sensor, is the posted focal lent the lens focal length to the equivalent full frame focal length. 2) I saw a 60mm “telephoto” image, and I would not normally consider that “telephoto,” unless I multiply it by 1.5. What do you consider a telephoto focal range.
Thanks so much, yes they were the crop focal lengths so it would be times 1.5. I would say 70mm and above on full frame is telephoto. 👍
Yes, IBIS is more effective with wide and normal lenses, and becomes noticeably less effective with focal lengths past ~85mm on crop sensor. And that's where the importance of OIS comes in. To me at least, OIS is super important and helps me get away with very slow shutter speeds when shooting handheld. I was surprised to see you didn't always use a lens hood in the rain. Using that, especially with longer lenses really helps avoid getting raindrops on your front lens.
Thanks buddy, yeah I always forget my lens hoods ha ha 👍👍
Good one! i set my IS mode to "shooting only." However, when I turn off the lens OIS, my camera indicates that image stabilization is off. Does the IBIS still work if the lens OIS is turned off?
I believe that on some cameras if you switch ois off on the lens it will turn all stabilization off. it's the case with my camera anyway 👍
I just bought XF 100-400 so this is good timing. So far it’s been great with the older XT3. Certainly helps that the lens has 6 stops of IS. It’s like magic and extremely sharp across the entire range (mine is anyway). Have to say though, I’m not sure its build quality is worthy of the Red badge. Exposed screws and lateral play on the zoom ring is unacceptable for a such an expensive lens. The rubber ring is uneven too. Huge amounts of fun though so no regrets…yet!
Awesome, hope you enjoy it 👍👍
The weather and way you're dressed in this video you'd think it was Autumn / Winter!! lol Great pics BTW!
Its global boiling 😂
After a lovely spring, its been a pretty rough summer so far. keeps the crowds away though, so i'm not complaining👍
Just because a person can achieve better images than others Does NOT they are PROS .
They have learned how to use there camera .. like anything longer you learn , practice you will become better .
Same applies with everything in life
Thanks Ian! Some great nuggets (as always) and awesome timing on this video, as I practice more and more with my telephoto lens.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Nice tips ..
? Why not save the gear a bit,
and set up an umbrella above your gear 🧐
I was enjoying this video until I saw the Fuji logo. I shot the XH2, GFX100S. With both I got horrendous blurred images. With settings that should not get me those. Like 1/250, 1/125th, auto iso, decent and correct aperture. Standing still. Like I was in w hurricane. Ibis on and off. On and off the tripod. Had it with the XH2, the GFX100S, 50Sii. It made me sell the system. And move to Nikon. No more issues now. I searched the forums, the internet and the manual for the issues. Turned all af related setting off and on, all ibis related settings off and on. Their firmware seems crap. Very sad. Cost me a frak ton.
hi ian i notice you use the word PRO an awful lot in your titles ? how come ?
These things offer a sharp image - nothing more.
Using a fast enough shutter speed to stop any motion, including camera motion.
Make sure your camera is focused properly on your subject.
Make sure the sharpness adjustment on your camera setting is set for merely adequate, which means there's never a need to crank up the sharpness setting beyond what's necessary.
Use a lens which is the furthest away from crappy optics. Quality glass absolutely matters.
