    Your explanations go deep into the topic, and all the effort pays off when you don't justify by word alone, but demonstrate the 'why' for choosing this field of view. Excellent video, nicely done!

    You are absolutely right about the storytelling capabilities of the 35mm and the fact that it makes you think creatively is one reason I love the focal length. Great pictures by the way, the sound you also added made the experience totally enjoyable. You have gained a subscriber .

    Absolutely agree that shooting on a long focal length makes it so easy to create stunning photos that you forget that blurring your background does injustice to the story sometimes.

    Great video Tongue. to your point at the end - I agree. Mike Chudley has a great video about this, but specifically with regards to street photography. He makes the case that people trick themselves with 85mm, believing they have taken a good photograph, but they are actually just impressed with the quality of the hardware they are using.

    I absolutely love using 35mm for portraits!! I absolutely love voyeur/candid photography. I got tired of following the herd really quick, and thats when i began playing with my other lenses. The 35mm is my favorite. It captures the scene, or as you put it, the story.
    I am using an APS-C with 1.6 crop factor.
    I was an indoor/outdoor, nude natural light photographer. When Covid came, it took it all away, and it never came back. But hopefully things may turn around in the future.
    Until then, Squirrels are so photogenic and expressive, that I use them for practice all the time. 35mm is also great when shooting children, because with them, i believe the scene is important.

    Excellent video, and you're right to 'ruffle a few feathers (85mm) , we are in an era where one can almost treat a mirrorless like a point and shoot lazy persons camera; the 35 mm focal length used properly MAKES you work to come up with magic

    Environmental portraits are my favorites, but I accomodate them in the 50mm FOV.
    I should give it a go to the 30mm FOV tho and see how that goes.

    For me the 35mm focal length is the least used when It comes to portraits. I love wide angle portraits but the 35 just doesn't work as wide angle. I shoot with 14mm and 24. 35 is too narrow. That's why I always go with something like 14mm with 105mm combo. Not that I have a bad 35mm lens because its a aigma 35mm f1.2 😉

    35mm is the greatest focal length ever invented. 😄 Longer focal lengths are good for capturing details in a scene, or getting some compression "magic" ✨.

    Hi Tongue ! I saw that you use Lumix S5ii as well. Do you prefer for video and foto X-h2S or S5II ? I have X-h2S and more X-mount lenses. But i am wondering if i switch to FF.

    • @Iamtongue
      @Iamtongue  Год назад +1

      I prefer video on the XH2s even though the autofocus is not as good as the S5ii. But the S5ii does have worst rolling shutter peformances...But the s5ii is a great camera you will probably miss the stacked sensor and film simulations if you switch. That's about it.

    Okay, I think I’m confused 🙈 I’m still a total amateur, so I probably missed something. But it looks like a ton of the photos say 23mm on them in your on-screen captions… but this video is about 35mm… what am I missing 😅

    • @Iamtongue
      @Iamtongue  2 месяца назад

      @@GraceRedingFilm yes, 35mm I’m referring to is a 35mm full frame field of view. But I shoot with a lot of Apsc sensor cameras which has a crop factor of 1.5x. So if you multiply 23mm x 1.5 you get something around 35mm full frame.
      Generally when you see RUclipsrs talk about focal length and lenses they are talking about the full frame version.

    Nice video. Just be careful when you work with a client that's a bit more curvy and feels insecure about it. I mean, take that into account when you're placing the client within the frame if you really want to stick with the 35mm.

    Awesome, Ideas, new?
    1. Teach us angles, to shoot different subjects and models
    2. Teach up how loght works and everything u know about it, and manipulating it
    3. maybe you can show us how to get models to shoot from step 1,
    to the Final step, And photograph them, and what to give them in terms of value, and how to give that value to the customer
    4. Maybe u can show us what price to charge, and why and how long until we up the price.
    5. Teach us small habits that will take us from beginner to pro
    6. Show us how to direct a model, or what kinda models need to be instructed and directed, interm of facial expression or body position or behaviour
    7. Show us what are the best poses for the model
    8. Show us how to get that perfect background, for the models and what they are wearing
    9. Show us different styles of clothing like: what goes and doesn't go, and what makes the model pop and not pop, from the back ground.
    10. show us clothing colours, and color of back grounds and how it effects the image, maybe you can talk about how the color makes us feel, and how to make other people feel an emotion via their photograph.
    Just a little gift for you 🎁
