      @@mohammedmalik9311 not really. That’s a big misconception you often hear on the internet.
      (You may know but I post this as a general info for others, as many mistake it on the internet)
      On crop, a 50 still is a 50. you will get the same perspective, bokeh and compression. The only difference is that the image is basically cropped. It’s like taking an image with a 50 in a full frame and cropping it later. It doesn’t change anything you are just „loosing“ the outer parts of the image.
      So what actually changes is that on a crop camera, you are forced to step back to get the same content on the image. Stepping back in turn will have an effect on the background blur/bokeh (it gets less) and on the depth of field.
      The reason why photographers choose specific lenses is usually because for the above effects.
      That’s why people should be aware of this when thinking that getting a 50 for their crop camera will give them a 85.

      I really dig the idea of stitching together frames for a panoramic image. May I ask which software you’re using to do this?
      Back before digital (dating myself here, I know) I used to shoot 6x6 and then crop heavily to get a panorama effect. I would cut down 20x24 paper into 3 strips and I got some pretty decent results printing 8x20 images from medium format negs. I miss the days when NYC had rental darkrooms where you could easily print 20x24.

We try to be quiet, respectful to the property and we don’t stay for long either, usually just 5 or so minutes - plus if someone comes and asks us to leave we will go straight away. If I want to use something that’s right in someone’s front yard or I think we’ll be there for longer than 5 mins then I’ll knock and ask! But people in Sydney are usually really nice about it all and I’ve personally never had any issues 😊

If I do portraits I have three lenses for my Sony a7riv and A9. I use the Sony 135mm f1.8 GM if I have enough room, or I go to the sigma 105mm f1.4 art, and if it’s closer I will break out the new sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN. They are the only 3 lenses I use for portraits. I do have a 24-70 but I only use it for weddings or video work I do with my A7iv. It’s funny how I went from using the 70-200 to just primes. I have a 35 f1.4, 50 f1.4, 90mm f2.8 G, and my 70-200 just collecting dust. Now I am kind of sick to my stomach after typing all those lenses out how much money is just sitting there doing nothing.

I can see how you don't touch the 70-200. Those zooms though, sometimes you don't have time to change lenses. I can see how concert photographers who get to shoot the first 3 songs may want to carry one camera with 16-35 and one with 70-200.

The only bad thing about it is you need a lot of light or you have to jack up your ISO and I hate doing that. But I have heard great things about the 100-400. My dream lens to own is the 200mm f2. Maybe if I sell all my lenses I don’t use I can get one. It sucks that Sony don’t make a 200 f2 but I would get the canon version and adapt it. It just has that 3d pop. I have the poor man’s version with the Sigma 105 that produces the look sort of. Do you mind if I ask how you got into doing concerts and the steps of how I could go about it.

      @@LMActionsports I guess it depends on where you live. Here we have small and big gigs every day basically, some are open air with no restrictions on cameras. Also i just asked some venues if i could shoot there in exchange for photos they could use, they were happy with the results and asked me to shoot some bigger bands and so on. It's much easier than you'd think, i guess unless we're talking really big artists. Try it out, really small artists are probably just happy that someone's interested and happy to get quality photos. I'm not sure bigger is better. With smaller artists you can easily get shots from behind the stage, shots from soundcheck or just lounging around. With big artists, you're typically in front of the stage and can only shoot for 10-15 mins. In that situation you won't experiment as much. That said, one of my favourite shots is of James Hetfield, i brought a compact ricoh to show and shot basically from his lower leg up towards the guitar and face. The tricky bit with small clubs is the light, both the amount and the quality of it. With productions you can pretty much get away with f4, or aps-c.
      100-400 is a useful range. I have some photos of grets van fleet and the hives taken with it. I'm probably more of a 70-200 person though, or better yet 135mm prime. I rarely feel a need to go wider than 85 or longer than 200. It also depends on what perspectives you like. I like the short-medium tele compression, and strongly dislike wide concert photos unless it's something pretty creative with a 15-16mm or so. For filmmaking, i can see why they shoot so much in the 24-35 range. It's a different ballgame.
      I actually have the sony 200-600 next to me as we speak, it's not mine though. Great, but cumbersome. No offense but i kinda get the sense that you're a bit caught up in the gear thing. Reality is, people do mediocre stuff with expensive gear and vice versa. You probably have all you need to shoot cool stuff. Then again maybe you have a very clear idea about what types of photos you want to take with that 200mm that you can't take today. In general, i think it's easy to get caught up in sharpness, resolution, autofocus speed etc. I also see a lot of people chasing the entire range from 16mm to 600mm just to be covered. To do that with quality glass you'd have to spend a fortune, and you'd suffer from option paralysis since you'll only want a few lenses in your bag and can only have one on a camera at once. I saw a video with peter hurley the other day, he talks about his 24-105 f4 and his 100mm macro and nothing else - he knows exactly what he needs. I have a few pro photographers/filmmaker friends who are the same, they don't talk or think much about new gear at all really. At the venues here, there are a few photographers i see all the time. One with a sony and a few primes, one with two canon r bodies with rf 2.8 zooms, a few with generic 70-200 lenses, a few hipsters with something like 50mm 1.8 or all in one compacts. I can't say i see a correlation between gear and quality output. Maybe in the sense that experienced photographers with pro gear consistently get the editorial stock photo look. They're on assignment and they deliver. The photos are boring to me though, technically good but predictable and generic. That's the 24-70/70-200 3 song limit look, you'll get something different if you can hang around a whole day. If a 50mm 1.8 makes you fly under the radar a bit more, maybe that will let you take more interesting photos. One of the reasons i prefer my 85mm prime to a big white 70-200 2.8.

    both are great lenses. i prefer 50mm to 35, because don't need to get as close to the models, also more background separation, and less need for a good background, instead focus more on the model. in fact if could only use 1, i think 50mm is my choice. since just move a little closer for 85mm like shots.

      I think it depends on the style and what you’re going for - while these guys are a real couple we were going for a more “fashion-y/portrait” look with these photos. For my wedding photography I take a different approach since my couples have usually never posed in front of a camera before or are nervous so photos with the couple both looking at each other and more being in the moment are more comfortable to create :)

    Love this comparison! I started with just a 50mm and then went mirrorless and now I have only a 35mm while I save for an 85mm. Everyone says start with a 50mm but I kind of wish I had just started 35mm like I first considered. I'm so eager to get that 85mm though! Like Mitch said at the end, it just has a magic that I can't get with only the 35mm!

    You know what? I’ve been a 85mm kinda portrait guy for years and the more it goes and the wider I tend to try. Thanks to your videos I feel confident in going that way.
    Recently I got my hands on the Nikon 58mm f/1.4 and the Tamron 35mm 1.4 is coming soon.
    And it’s due to my discover of the 28mm in the Leica Q. So I progressively try wider and wider! But still love the 105 1.4 of course.
    Nice work!

    I'm just starting with photography and I bought the 14mm and 24-70mm until I figure out where I am shooting most of the time and it turns out that I almost never use the 14mm but when I am using my 24-70, I am almost always either somewhere around 30mm or on 70mm and even find myself wanting more range, so in my conclusion, after I sell the 14mm and 24-70, I will be getting a 35mm and 85mm as my TRUE first lenses!

  • @jonoy4375
    @jonoy4375 4 года назад +1

    Most photos shot by 2 lenses from almost the small distance (3-5m far). If 85 shoot from 10-15 meters far away, the photos look great, full body with blurry background.

  • @lumoproduction
    @lumoproduction 3 года назад +2

    Amazing jobs for both I just don't know which one to chose, 35mm seems more cinematic I guess in some way and it's really great cause we can see more context more environment around the subject whereas the 85mm doing an excellent job centering and isolating the subject, hard to choose... :/

  • @GabrielSolisDesign
    @GabrielSolisDesign 10 месяцев назад

    I just don't get the excitement about the 35mm lens. In almost every example, I preferred the 85mm. With the 85mm, the focus is solely on the couple. It tells the right story, which is how happy they are together. The 35mm tells a story of their environment. That's great if you're in a beautiful field, or Rome, but random street? Sure, the wrought iron fences are fairly pretty, but I don't want some fat branch high up on a tree distracting from how in love this couple is. The 85mm gives you just enough background to know where they are without including someone's parked Taurus.

    Great vid! Love my 35 1.4 I use it for street and ports quite regularly. But if I want some compression and bokeh then my 50mm 1.2. Obviously the style of 35, 50, and 85 is subjective, but ultimatley it's what works for you in those situations. If I have more space I use my 135 f2, that's a magical lens. ❤✌

    Don't get me wrong, my man Mitch's pretty good at what he does but when it comes to taking photos at a certain angle or even instruct clients on how to pose, there's a distinct difference between the photos that Julia had taken & the photos that Mitch had taken. & every time, you can tell that Julia just comes out on top. I'm sure that there's no competition going on here, but still. This is more of a constructive criticism for Mitch to step his game up. But yeah nah, lovely work nonetheless, you two!
