Trying out the Canon R6 Mark II
Recently bought myself the Canon R6 Mark II, and it's been great as a video camera for me so far, but I haven't tried much in the way of shooting stills with it yet.
In this video, I change that by giving it a go and doing street photography in Melbourne.
What's your favourite shot? Let me know in the comments!
Cheers.

Fagus and Waterfalls in Mount Field National Park

Thanks for stopping by to check out the last of four videos I filmed in Tasmania this year! I had so much fun getting out and exploring this state, and the area featured in this video was a major highlight of my time down there. We start with the fabulous Fagus up the mountain a bit and then head down to see some waterfalls. Let me know your favourite shots in the comments, and don't forget to ...
Landscape photography on the east coast of Tassie
Просмотров 97Месяц назад
In this video, I've made my way over to the east coast of Tassie from Cradle Mountain. A very different environment to where I've just come from, but just as beautiful. I was blessed with great light at the beginning of this shoot, but don't feel like I really did my surroundings justice with the photos I took. I still had a lot of fun, and as you'll see throughout this video, Tassie really cam...
Battling with tough conditions at Cradle Mountain
Просмотров 75Месяц назад
Do you think I could have fit in another "rough" when describing the weather for this video? It definitely accurately gets across what it was like during the two days I spent here taking photos. But I didn't let that stop me and I had a fantastic time, even if I didn't come home with the photos I had planned to. Hope you enjoy coming along for the journey!
North West Tasmania on Film

It's been a while between uploads, but I'm happy to be back with the first of a series of videos I filmed on a trip down to Tassie. In this video, we start in suburban Melbourne, catch the Spirit of Tasmania across to Devonport, and make our way over to Stanley with a few stops in between. All shots in this video were captured using my FujiFilm GSW690III on Kodak Ektar 100 film. I hope you enjo...

Trying Kodak E100 | Mount Buffalo In this video, I visit a park I've had on my list for a very long time, Mount Buffalo National Park.

Black and white film photography | Dandenong Ranges National Park In this video, I gave a few new things a go. If you've seen some of my older videos you'll have noticed I'm not very talkative when I get out with the camera, but this time I've tried to explain what I'm doing as I go. I also shot, developed, and scanned the photos I took completely independently. And sorry for the garbage audio,...
Waking up early for landscape photography | Otway National Park

Waking up early for landscape photography in the Great Otway National Park. In this video, I took a slightly different approach to how I make these videos in two ways. They may seem a little obvious and a little uninspired but really made all the difference to my process. First off I did a scouting trip the day before I actually filmed the video. This meant I had a rough idea of the composition...

Getting out to shoot one more time | Lerderderg State Park

Last week I managed to get out to shoot one more time before Melbourne was brought back into lockdown again. It sucks to find ourselves here for a second time, but there are bigger and more important things to focus on, and the bush will be there waiting for when we overcome this thing.

Medium Format Landscape Photography | Grampians National Park
Просмотров 1464 года назад
This video is the second, and unfortunately the last, time I could get the Grampians on medium format - on this trip at least. So nice to get out into nature and shoot, but competing with the weather was a losing battle and it wasn't all I'd hoped it could be. In spite of that though, a break from lockdown and the city was an enormous blessing in these difficult times. I hope you enjoy this lit...
Velvia and Ektar | Grampians National Park

Recently I went out to the Grampians for a few days with friends. Hoping to get out and do a few hikes where I could shoot some film and some videos, we found ourselves unlucky and stuck hiding from rain for most of our trip. But, in spite of the weather, I wasn't going to leave without shooting something. So between downpours, I got out with the camera when I could and this is one of two video...

    • @alexforsythphoto
      @alexforsythphoto 5 дней назад

      @@ikechadmedia3116 For the most part it's been really good. I got the EF-RF adapter with the variable ND drop in filter and for shooting video it's worked out great. It's a bit like having built in ND like the professional camcorders I use in my day job, and that's been really useful. If you go down that path though, keep in mind you'll probably want to get a clear drop in filter too, because when you buy the drop in adapter with the VND that's all it comes with, and doesn't have a clear one included. And I'm sure, like me, you're definitely going to want the option to not use it without leaving a bit open gap in your mount adapter while you shoot. Auto focus for stills is great, and for videos it works, but I've found my older lenses are a bit noisy and get picked up on my camera mounted shotgun mic when they're continuously focussing in a quiet room. I've got around this issue by using a wireless lav mic though. So really depends on how you want to use it, but for me this setup has been working well and feels promising as a good tool for me for a while into the future.

    Hi, g'morning Alex. at least for me, it's morning. I'm in Barbados . Yeah, I did enjoy the video. As you said, I also liked the first 2 images but in reverse order...as for the 3rd and 4th, I'm thinking just a hint of a burst of flash from the left as we viewed the image , especially #4 or you could try the image at a differenttime of day to get that back lighting...here in Barbados we don't have areas as vast as you do in Australia but that's the sort of photography that I love, so keep shooting and I'll be looking out for your images in future..have a great day safely...
