Night Photography with Insta360 One R 1" Mod
#insta360 #insta360oneR
One feature that drew me to the Insta360 One R was the Night Shot mode for still photography. In this video I go over that feature and compare it to just taking long exposure night shots. Giving manual control over that feature would make this camera a night time/astrophotography beast, in my opinion.

Comparing Astrophotography Shots with Different Sensor Sizes (FF A7R IV, 1" LX10, 1/2.3" FZ80)
Просмотров 3363 года назад
In this video I look at the same shots of constellation Orion with three different cameras. Each camera has a different sensor size. The Lumix FZ-80 has a very small sensor at 1/2.3", the Lumix LX-10 has a 1" sensor, and the Sony A7R IV has a full frame sensor. Truthfully, the results surprised me!

Lumix LX-10 (LX-15): Underrated Vlogging Camera
Просмотров 2073 года назад
The Lumix LX-10 is underrated vlogging camera that you can find on the used market for cheap. This video is primarily to show footage from the LX10 in the style of a vlog. Each clip shows off different resolutions and frame rates of the camera. The footage was edited in Adobe Premiere Rush. Not only is the LX10 a good vlog camera, it also is a great still camera.

Pros and Cons of the Panasonic Lumix LX-10 (LX-15) - Better than a Smart Phone Camera?
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 года назад
Have smart phones killed the compact travel camera? In this video I discuss the pros and cons of the LX-10 (LX-15 outside the U.S.). I've had this camera for a year and a half and really enjoy it but it does have its downsides. There may be competitors from Sony and Canon that others would find better suited for their needs. In this video I also show some photos I've taken from this camera that...
Photographing the Great Conjunction - Jupiter & Saturn - on Sony A7R IV with Tamron 70-180 and 28-75

#greatconjunction In this video I go through my process of photographing the planets and moon during the great conjunction event while keeping foreground elements in the photo. I didn't realize that my zoom in Lightroom was set to 300% rather than 100% so I was a bit confused with the noise level when I was zooming in.

Can the video quality of a $300 Lumix FZ-80 compete with a $3,000 Sony A7R IV?
Просмотров 5333 года назад
Nobody cross-shops a relatively cheap compact zoom camera like the Lumix FZ-80 with a full-framed hi-res expensive camera like the Sony A7R IV. But people who are using something like the FZ-80 may wonder what benefits a larger sensor camera has. This video compares the two to see where each camera excels.

Upgrade your telephoto image quality: Tamron 70-180 vs Sony 24-240
Просмотров 3193 года назад
This video is geared towards the photographer looking to switch from their all-purpose 24-240 to something with a constant aperture and (arguably) better image quality. There are a whole lot of videos out there comparing the Sony 24-240 to the Tamron 28-200. These are all fine and good, but this video is geared more towards those wondering if moving away from the all-purpose super zoom is worth...

My first 1.5 years taking photos - Panasonic FZ80 to Sony A7R IV
Просмотров 4153 года назад
Obviously gear doesn't make the photographer. A pro with a compact ultra-zoom with a small sensor will probably take better photos than me with my Sony A7R IV all day. But good gear can remove limitations and help you get better photos when you learn how to use it. In this video I talk about what got me into photography and my progress so far. I go through, in Lightroom, some recent photos I to...

I love them and I am learning with the Lumix FZ-80.

  • @FatihVideographer
    @FatihVideographer 2 года назад

    Exactly what I was looking for! A7iii with the Sony lens really sucks in low light straight out of the camera, and I really need a better telephoto lens, am thinking about the tamron. Does the tamron perform better in low light? I need to deliver straight out of the camera images on location to my clients while shooting conferences with crappy lighting. Thank u! Btw. The sony has too many artifacts while shooting long exposure photos even in lowest iso.

    • @headwestphotos9615
      @headwestphotos9615 2 года назад

      yeah, the Tamron is great in low light with the aperture set at 2.8. For sure, the Tamron is leagues ahead the 24-240 in terms of overall image quality. The sony would be useful if you really need the full zoom range from ultrawide to long telephoto, but if just need the telephoto reach, the Tamron is great way to go -- or if money isn't a concern, the new Sony 70-200 2.8 looks fantastic and is getting rave reviews.

    • @headwestphotos9615
      @headwestphotos9615 2 года назад

      I shot most of these in M mode. For birds, I set the ISO pretty high so I can get the shutter speed up to 1000-2000 to freeze the action. ISO causes a lot of noise on this camera above 800, so try not to go much past that. But I'd rather have more noise and a crisp shot than worrying about keeping the ISO at the minimum settings.

Make sure your auto focus is set to tracking for wildlife and use the touchscreen to try to lock onto the subject. the tracking auto focus works decently in bright situations, but it does miss quite frequently so it is wise to have camera in burst mode while using the tracking auto focus

      I got mine at Precision Camera in Austin, TX. Check 'em out online, they're good people. As far as I know, there's only one version of the FZ-80, you can record in different resolutions up to 30p 4k. I'd definitely recommend not buying this camera used unless it's in like new condition and only if you can buy a replacement warranty with it. The motors for the zoom tend to give out easily so you'll definitely want a replacement warranty if bought used or new.

It got me hooked on photography and even though I've bought a bunch more cameras since, I still break out the FZ-80 when I get the chance. Interestingly, the tracking AF on the FZ-80 works wayyy better than the tracking on my Lumix GX85. Good job, Panasonic on bringing good features to that camera.
