Yeah. Especially cause he also tosses the filters in the bag without dust covers etc. I have a cat, so I've been learning the hard way to keep your stuff sealed and tucked away always, unless you want it bathing in cat hairs lol.
I think you're overthinking it. I mostly just use my t-shirt and have never had any issues. If you want to get more fancy use a microfiber cloth or one of those pre-packages lens wipes. There really isn't a technique to learn, just wipe the dirt off when there's some. There's no need to clean your lenses just for the sake of it.
I do a lot of wildlife photography and over the years I have cut my setup down to a Canon EOS Rebel T7 a Sigma 150-600mm and a T3 with a Canon EF 18-55mm IS II in a shoulder sling bag for landscape photos that don't need zoom, it gives me a lot of versatility and a backup camera if my T7 acts up
I have had such trouble with this and still do. Climbing got me into photography but combining bouldering gear with photo gear is a bit of a nightmare. 2 crashpads go easily into 17-20kg + climbing stuff + photo stuff on topnof that. My legs aren't as young as they used to be 😅 Just ordered that Wandrd sling though so I can at least separate the gear a bit more effectively and keep the sling on me at all times, and it'll be useful for hanging on ropes with the camera. There's basically no perfect solution other than owning a car and the approach being extremely short. Effed up my knee some more with snow and a long walk with all the gear.... 🙄 Looking forward to the sling though! Thanks for the tips!
Love the setup. For me if I am taking my camera anywhere that isn't a serious shoot, itll always just be my XH2s with the 27mm pancake lens and a camera strap. If it's not a serious day of photography I feel like this setup has gotten it done. I think the only thing I miss having would be some kind of telephoto, but if its too far away I just admire with my eyes :) Then Ill just offload things when I get home.
My EDC is my Ricoh GR II.... i mainly shoot street/architecture.... if i really wanted to bring kit bringing my TS lenses would just so quickly make it too heavy.... even my M4 stays at home most days After 2 decades of Photography i learned that "performance" really doesn't matter except in sports & wildlife.... having fun makes me use the camera more that's why the GR II and M4 are my go to cameras... My SL2 stays home until i actually need it for a shoot
Fuji XE4, 50mm F2. It's the business. Though contemplating a move to the 7CR and the G primes. Thoughts? I like the idea of a small bag btw. Bags find a way to get full. A small bag will still get full. But of less.
I myself have made a resolution to click more photos and get better at the hobby, and I've been looking for a very compact messenger bag kinda thing which I can use to carry around my camera (Sony ZV-1), batteries, chargers and mic with either a tablet or laptop to edit the images on the go.
I was a canon and Sony shooter, but was considering the Leica q2 for a bit. got the chance to try it for a while and didn't quite like it, so I went with a used fuji xt3, and am considering a xh2s/xs20 now for open gate my backpack is usually full of coffee and gym gear anyway, so I'm usually limited to a body and 2 lenses anyway
How do your tiles hold up outside of the range of your phone? Afaik for them to work other phones need the tile app installed, always running and subscribed to the tile service. I use Android but recently got a cheap iPhone SE II and a pack of airtags to keep track of my stuff
Yes. - ND filters are good for long exposure shots (city, waterfalls, lakes/ocean, etc.) in bright scenes. They're also more or less required for exposure control in outdoor / non-stationary video if you want to keep shutter speed @ 2x framerate and a wide aperture. - Polarizing filters help remove unwanted reflections and can darken up the sky. This is useful in car photography as well as situations with bodies of water or wet elements. - Diffusion filters are useful in the way he mentions, though the effect can be more or less replicated with luminance masks in Lightroom. - UV filters are not generally useful for digital, though. They were fairly necessary during the film days, but not anymore. Some people use them to protect the front element of their lenses, but this isn't very effective & can decrease image quality. Better off with a lens hood & cap. That said, they're useful in very dusty or wet situations, as they can help with weather sealing. Other filter types (color, IR, skylight, etc.) will have more niche use cases.
Would love a video on cleaning lenses. It is something I want to get better at so any advice would be appreciated

Please do a video on your Leica and lenses.
Hmm, I somehow expected the mention of a certain store when you mentioned the water bottle. 😂
i like your choice of tech, clearly you understand the value of it.
pixel, sony tws & dell xps very solid setup.
Maybe consider doing a video on your first year going Indi. I feel like it would be a cool video.

What an insightful video, an absolute masterpiece as usual from the best Camera focused content creator on any platform
Love this video so much

I always want to photograph bouldering but in the gym it's too dusty to feel comfortable bringing anything with me.
Great video like always.
Great kit Brandon!
Good and well thought out set up! Thank you for sharing.

So which filter you using for your product B-roll shots?
No filter, just the Helios 44-2
