3 tips for better results with your zoom lens
#zoomlens #photographytips #leica #copenhagen
In this video I talk you through some tips and tricks when shooting with a zoom lens. Zooms and primes have their specific use case in photography and it is important to know when to use one over the other.
I also talk about how zooming is not the same as moving around - therefore I encourage you to use your zoom with more intention.
Make sure to watch till the end, since I also share some tips on how to shoot in unpredictable environments and how you can find your favorite focal length.

    I do a lot of hiking and cycling in Europe. After a lot of experimentation, I’ve settled on Sony 6700 for still shots, Osmo for any moving shots as it delivers way better stabilization and image quality vs the Sony, and iPhone for run and gun people shots as it is the quickest to whip out from my hip pocket and provides the best exposure of faces.

  • @kayakerjer
    @kayakerjer 5 дней назад

    You hit the nail on the head. I have a Sony 6700 and have found the stabilization with the 16-50 kit lens does not work well and many of the images are not as sharp as I like. However, the solutions are to move to a prime lens that is much less compact than the zoom or to move to a much bulkier lens or gimbal, which negates the whole point of having a compact APSC camera. I have found myself turning more and more to my Osmo pocket for video which I find much sharper than the Sony and using my Sony as only a stills camera. I do a lot of hiking (e.g. Camino de Santiago in Spain, Laugavegur Trek in Iceland) and a compact form factor is something I cannot compromise on. I wish Sony had upped the quality of the new 16-50 Mark II zoom as this would have been a perfect solution. The Sigma 18-50 recommended by nearly every Vlogger is sharper than the Sony kit lens but does not have stabilization and is too big. First world problems, I guess.

      Well the OP3 is really unbeatable, when you are okay with the 20mm fov especially when you introduce camera movement But that sounds like a very powerful combo you got!

    Is Nikon Zf with 28-400mm too big for everyday ndbonly setup you have? I might want to add 14-30mm too. Z6III has bigger grip but they say the dynamic range is lower like APSC, not sure if ts true

    • @NetvoTV

      By the way, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a logo for your channel to have a dedicated branding image your audience can remember you with and also print on your merchs and works too? Let me know if you interested and I would love to design it for you! :-)

    • @leanderhoefler
      @leanderhoefler 7 дней назад

      It depends what you shoot I guess - could be a good combo for landscapes. For my style of shooting it would probably be too big. The Z6III has slightly less dynamic range than the Zf - but I‘d say it‘s hard to notice in practice. But the Z6III makes up for that with much more speed, which can be handy. Also the ergonomics would lend itself more to the 28-400

    • @leanderhoefler

    Without the flare. It distracts too much from the main subject. Just my opinion. It’s fine either way, depends on who you ask lol. Great picture.

    • @leanderhoefler
      @leanderhoefler 11 дней назад

      Yes I agree - think it is a bit too strong for this image. But I will experiment with it in the future maybe there‘s a way to find a happy medium

    • @leanderhoefler
      @leanderhoefler 11 дней назад

      Definitely the ZV-E10 II with the Sigma 16mm f1.4 or Sony 15mm f1.4 - can‘t really beat that combo

    • @shirleyb7719

      I think less flare could work, but IMHO, this one obscures too much of the other detail.

      Replied to your other comments - it‘s the same setup for all those shots :)

    Nice video :) but what camera were you using while filming this?

    • @leanderhoefler
      @leanderhoefler 12 дней назад

      I use the Sony ZV-E1 with the 24mm f1.4 GM lens from Sony - but you would get pretty much identical results with the ZV-E10 II with a Sigma 16mm f1.4 for example. The gear doesn‘t really matter for those talking head shots, it‘s more about light and sound really.

  • @bruce-le-smith
    @bruce-le-smith 16 дней назад

    5:29 was a helpful example too, I've tried those shots telling myself 'it's a balance of dark and light, like a yin yang (shady and sunny sides of a hill)'. But I agree they rarely feel aesthetically pleasing. It's interesting how tones aren't enough on their own to create balance, that subjects \ focal points are needed too. Although, it feels like some street photography (inspired by Saul Leiter or Henri Cartier-Bresson or similar) can get away with turning light and dark tones into a pleasing balance of shapes... It would be cool to hear you discuss that if you have any thoughts! Does the genre of photography make a difference to how we think about combining tricks ules?

    • @leanderhoefler
      @leanderhoefler 16 дней назад

      That‘s a good question - I think the tricky thing with balance is that literally everything will have an influence. And yes, the genre definitely has an impact. If we compare landscape and portrait photography for example they usually are vastly different where the place the subject, what framing options they use etc.

      @@leanderhoeflerthanks for you reply man. I’ve been doing a lot of searching around online about some cameras mainly DLSRS. Do you think the 80d would still be a good option for street photography? Do you think the actual camera itself would be good for it?

    I am using a smatphone Samsung S22+ and a action camera Insta360 Ace Pro for videos for the past year when I am traveling. I am now looking for upgrading with the Sony ZV-E10II. Do you think the quality of the videos will be much better ? Thanks

    • @leanderhoefler
      @leanderhoefler 18 дней назад

      For traveling I‘d say this is already a solid combo - especially for stabilized footage. The ZV-E10 II would offer you much better low light performance if you are often shooting at night. Or if you really make use of the shallow DOF I can also see a benefit.
