Awesome video! Love seeing things like this where you can see someone who’s mastered their craft and truly loves the experience of the capture.
❤❤❤❤❤
I love this! So much passion about her work. What an impressive photographer.
Sports is very difficult. You wait for a special moment with no idea when it will happen. Then you have a very short window to get the shots and keep everything sharp. Fast frame rate with great autofocus is a must. I like R5 because it gives enough quality to shoot wider and crop to better tell the story. More options when you got one chance to get it.
Very interesting. Facinating to hear how Elsa's understanidng of a sport get used to anticiapte where to capture these fleeting moments. Thanks MPB for this.
Absolute legend. Elsa is amazing.
We agree!
Yes, golfers can get very angry if they hear the camera's motordrive running at full clack, especially Greg Norman!
Justin Rose moves me around like a chess piece seems like he's never happy where I set up. At least he sounds polite about it with the English accent, lol.
Nikon Z9’s shutterless design must have changed the game for golf photographers.
Elsa, thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge! love sports photography that's why I am amazed by your works!
Great video about sport photography. tqvm MPB for this value content
man I love this. I’m still learning all this but these are the vids newbies need!
Wwwoooowww. I learned soooo much from this video! Thank you so much! This is exactly what I have been looking for for the past few years! Thank you thank you thank you
That's so great to see!
This is exactly what I was thinking... thank you E
Beautiful images, a master at her craft.
Thanks for sharing this video. I've purchased cameras from MPB before, but never knew about the UA-cam channel until today.
SUBSCRIBED!
Welcome aboard and thanks for using us!
Elsa your are a brilliant photographer thanks for sharing your knowledge
amazing video. Thank you
Fantastic I love this more please
Excellent video yet informative
Great video. Girls are the best. In photography also. The only thing I miss in this movie is exposure/iso info.
Thank you for this. It would have been nice to hear you talk about the autofocus techniques you use. That is one thing many of us amateurs struggle with - which setting to use in which situation.
Elsa keep up the good work !!!!!! i love the baseball reference. Yankees fan till the day i die ! It's truly a beautiful game that many don't know how is operated. you are my inspiration. Thanks for making this video.
We're so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Amy
Just awesome
Had no idea MPB had a YT channel. Great vid btw.
You do fantastic work, vey enjoyable!!!
Excellent photography. Did anyone else notice The (partial) Canon banner in the background of the Brock Holt shot?
Do you use back button focus?
As a photographer this is fun
great video
Thanks so much!
That the canon logo just behind the baseball catcher? Very cool
Dream job!
Learned why shooting rollers of cars got more difficult when I switched from a Nikon D40 to a Sony A7iv. Panning is harder with mirrorless when you aren't used to it.
Pan shots is why I still shoot my motorsports on a D3 rather than a Z series body as well. Just find the OVF intuative there. And I can't afford the top tier Z9 type cameras which (supposedly) bridge this gap.
wow nice gear Canon ,
Great sharing.
Thanks very much!
I see the gear but what were the settings for those pictures?
Hi: Thanks for the video.. I'm curious why you don't use the electronic shutter on the 1DX MK III?
Ok, this is a guess based on what she said in the video... I'm guessing because she wants the behavior of a "real" shutter. She even mentioned, she felt it was better when panning the 1DX vs electronic shutter. It probably is just a different "feel," if that makes sense.
@@breezyjrShe said she liked the planning because of the immediacy of the OVF.
Any thoughts on the canon R7?
My goal is to be a Getty images sports photographer. I love this video
Thank you and good luck with achieving your dream! - Jakub
Awesome works. I wonder how you compare the R3 and the 1DX III.
Prior 1DX MKIII owner and now full mirrorless. The R3 destroys the 1DX line, faster AF, shutter, colors, sharpness, i can keep going. it is worth converting.
@@arshotsphotography Yep. Coming from a 5D4, I felt the improvement in color on a visceral level. I still remember the color that first day with it on the court. Same warmth that Canon is known for but something was different, more real. Maybe it was just the added dynamic range, but it could immediately discern the difference between a glossy yellow-amber gym floor and a room of orange benches in a way that was confident, genuine and correct. To truely absorb the AF takes some mental realignment.
6:25 how do you get 3 people all in focus? I use back button focus and when you set it on one person then the rest are blurred...
You can try using a smaller aperture (f/11 or smaller) to increase the depth of field. On the photo you mentioned all three people are roughly on the same distance from the camera and it makes it easier to have them all in focus. Thank you for watching! - Jakub
I love photography but hate how much a good len cost 😅
The question is how to join the Getty Images team?
You can submit a portfolio to them online, its about how much work you've had published really.
@@AdamJonesPhoto thanks I will try to select the best from thousands and thousands. It's hard to choose.
@@lpproductions5023 become a contributor first, then submit a portfolio of published work. Good luck.
That's about 30K in gear alone
did she buy all that gear by herself? or Getty Images provide them?
I"m sure she purchased it herself. From the few photographers I know, they don't get equipment allowances. So, that's like, $18k in bodies, and $25k + for the lenses.
Getty provides the gear but photographers still use their personal gear if they choose.
There's Staff Getty and freelance Getty, the few staff Getty get their gear paid for, freelance on their own. Not positive but i think staff get paid salary so don't get royalties, freelance get royalties only
Holy what ? a 400mm at Basketball?
Usually they use a 300mm, thats about full length person at the far basket. 400mm is like 3/4. NBA is also moving photographers further and further back
@@TheBacontarianI’m five years, we will be shooting from the suites.
Shares all those great lens. Raves about how versatile they are. Proceeds to show favorite shots…….with a 300 2.8 that doesn’t even make it to the table.
Why the annoying foreground music?
Sports photography = spray and pray
Spray, pray, and crop. Chances are, she didn't get the absolute perfect frame with that last baseball picture.
Not if you understand the sport you are covering and understand how to tell a story. She literally gives an example of this in the first minute. 😂😂😂
Yes. Sports photography always involves attitude swimming in a sea of luck. ....which is why I spend hours practicing things like focus-picking out of a crowd, or attaching lens hoods without looking in a few seconds, or 200 shots rehearsing the depth of field at a particular bend in the track before they get there: To improve those odds.
She was just bluffing
A 400 2.8 far basketball? How big is the court? Yikes, way too long.
Bragging about a Megan soccer pic? Shut you off after that. She’s a traitor
Canon shooters and their stupid stickers!
Ooooo... Sounds like I've got to get some stickers!
Excellent advice!. Knowing whatever sport you are covering is essential, otherwise you won't be able to anticipate the moment. Viewers may like Iconic B&W Hockey Photos from the 1980's or 40 Amazing Photo Wrecks from Alberta Small Town Rodeos! thepassionatepackrat
