Seaside Towns are Strangely Good for Photography
Join my on my photowalk around an old English seaside town resort inside the arcade and then under it.
When the tide goes out, the hidden columns are revealed barnacles, seaweed and all!! This underbelly of the resort could pass for a post apocalyptic scene.

Fujifilm's Most Versatile Lens? | 16mm f1.4 REVIEW

Could this be fujifilm’s most versatile prime lens? The Fujifilm 16mm 1.4 lens is a strange yet wonderful creature. It has macro capabilities despite not actually being a macro lens, A bizarre focus ring that locks and not to mention you can use it in almost every camera situation.

Fuji's SMALLEST LENS | 27mm f2.8 REVIEW
Просмотров 22 тыс.7 месяцев назад

    Tip for you, since you are new to Sony, turn the electronic first curtain shutter off on shutter speeds over 1/2000 of a second, it messes with the bokeh some. You can look this up for more information. It's already on by default in your A7RIV. The A7RV has the same image quality, there is no reason for the extra upgrades unless one really wants the AI focus and 10 bit video. I have the A7IV as well, for video. But honestly, you can do so much with the A7RIV, even with video. The content is much more important than the gear but having a nice tool like you have can really last you a long time. Don't fall for upgrading it or anything, you'll get trapped in materialism and lose the whole point. Which can be a danger to photographers, especially these days. There are people still using a Canon 5D Mark ii taking better photos than most people. Of course with 61 Megapixels when you do crop and want it sharp at 1:1 you gotta be more steady with it, sometimes faster shutter speeds help. Some people say this isn't true but it is true if you crop. This is a good reason to get into lighting too. Godox has some nice strobes that don't cost a lot of money. I got my first strobe not long ago, that way you can use really fast shutter speeds, even outside and light it up well. Inside I use a flash but it doesn't have that flash look, I always bounce it off the ceiling or wall, whatever looks right. So I rarely go over ISO 100 or 200 and that gives you the full ability of 61 megapixels. Because once you get too high in ISO you can't tell much of a difference but at lower ISO you can. You are very fortunate to have a camera like that. Use it well. Don't get another one until you've used it to the point it might not even work. :-)

    Valid. As someone who only used Fujifilm for personal stuff and other brands for professional work, the reason I left Fujifilm was the size and weight didn't make sense anymore for a casual every day carry bit of kit. It's a struggle to find a body that's significantly smaller/lighter than competitor full frame options. So in a way most of their line up has has all the negatives of full frame and all the negatives of aps-c. I mean the a7CII with the Zeiss 35f2.8 is about the size of the X100VI, which is mind boggling. If they could get that value proposition right and have a few more cameras aimed at the casual carry market then I can see myself recommending them for at least personal photography. So far it seems like they have bottled both sides of the fence.

      Yes, but.... To be honest I don't remember that may people saying 6MP was too many - what I remember being the thing was Digital still doesn't have the resolutions of slide film. Today, I shoot Nikon and mostly I'm using at 20+Megapixel sensor and occassionally 45Megapixel. I use the later for my landscape photography but honestly I'm not convinced it makes any difference. I use it because I have it. The files are large (I always shoot RAW). Even at 20MP I can rarely see the difference in prints and definitely can't on a screen when showing the whole image. Going back in the day it was in the 2010s that people started talking about the sensor surpassing the lens ability to resolve the detail. Even at 20MP I can see my cheaper or older lenses struggling with softness even in their sweet spot. So what does 61MP bring us - just the label? More noise? That we have fallen for the emperor's new clothes? Show me a 45MP and 61MP taken with any Sony lens and I bet if I change them around you couldn't tell the difference. Yes more than 6MP, 12MP is ok, 20MP is really good and I defy people to see an improvement on anything that isn't an A1 print, 45MP on FF (larger sites that a APC 20MP) good noise, many lenses noticeably softer at the edge, 61MP?? No improvement on A0 prints, marketing hype? worse noise?, limit buffer and frame rate, out performing the lens by a margin. I'm just not convinced but feel free to spend your own money.🤣

      @@markhickson9087 Back in 2000's, high MP vs low MP was debated even more often than today because the high MP came with a heavy penalty of high ISO noise and considered as unnecessary. It is true that most professional photographers don't need high MP because they already know the type of shots they will take when they get to the job sites with their predefined template. Cropping is not really needed for them. For serious hobbyists, who take photos of everything from family, street, wild life, landscape, vacation, etc and who do not carry five lenses, cropping is a vital tool to increase their chance of taking that one golden moment that low MP would have missed. If you don't believe there is a difference in final image between 20MP and 60MP, take any shot with a small object in 20MP camera then blow it up at 300%. You will see the image become a garbage where 60MP will still resolve. Every time I see people comparing low MP vs high MP, they are blowing up a large object that already contains plenty of pixels. As I said earlier, high MP is just another tool for photographing in certain situation just like how filters, tripod, flash, etc can get you that shot that you would missed without. If you need it, then you need it. If you don't need it, then don't use it. All these conversations of low MP vs. high MP is like saying Toyota corolla is good enough and ending a sentence like that. Good enough for what and who????

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm still waiting for the market to settle, to decide my migration to mirrorless. I'll wait until next year. Fuji was one alternative, but the reliability thing and the price / performance ratio was not right. There are reasons why pro photographers mostly use Canon and Sony and some Nikon now.

      as.a former Canon R6 and Sony shooter ive now landet with Nikon...z8 and z6iii are perfect! They have AMAZING colour, maybe even better then Fuji, almost Sony/Canon Level AF, absolutely great glass... Love it...Fuji is its own thing tho, they render so nice and different, but their results arent good for pro work...failed af even with confirmation boxes tons and the Lightroom worms...just too much, considering the price is only slightly cheaper if you compare equal glass (Nikons 1.8 Glass is amazing and eqv. the 1.2 on the Fujis, but is cheaper)

    i bought an XT-3 for pennies and I love it. its got actual sensor damage but I print a photo once every few months - like if I love the shot that much I’m ok with doing a few touch ups. I also mostly take photos of interesting rocks so I can live with the autofocus though sometimes it also drives me nuts. sometimes something exciting is happening and Id rather have captured the shot even if it is blurry but it wont snap if the focus isnt locked and that drives me bananas

    For video work Sony FX30 is the most affordable right now in the market, 10bit 4:2:2 4k120 with dual card slot, but if you want FF go for a7S3, ZV E-1 is cheaper but it has some issues with overheating. There is something of a sony color that makes it more "dramatic and cinematic" you will love it. you should try to sell your XT4 too imo, there is no need to hold on to Fuji's camera, Sony color is great if you know how to grade its footage/raw. The only thing that I think fuji do better (aside from all of your opinion) is it retain much better highlight compare to sony, I'm been using a74 for awhile now but the highlight is not that good, its not clipping its just not as good as fuji, the shadow is much better tho.

      Ahh thank you 🙏 that’s super helpful! I don’t mind grading log so the whole colour science thing doesn’t worry me so much. I did think about the fx30, only draw back for me is the sensor size, however I’m not ruling it out completely. 💪🏻👌🏻

      For photography Nikon it's the best for recovering highlights. And Sony it's the best for recovering the shadows. That vary model to model, but as a general rule is accurate that Nikon is great to recover highlights in raw photo. I don't know about video.

The a7iv does it with a large crop at 4k60 ( 1,5x ) sampling from 14mp instead of 22mp and around 15ms of rolling shutter.

      @@amermeleitor super nice! I think the argument is the lens selection / the way stabilization works is way less ideal for video. At least in my case with an XT-4/16-55. The difference with a Sony and their 24-70 is tremendous. No breathing on the corners of the frame as you zoom, significantly closer to parfocal, smoother stabilization for video. Fuji stabilization is super jumpy for video. Might be better on the newer ones
