That luminosity ‘trick’ just floored me....! Never gave that a second thought. Best tip I’ve seen in a very long time, thank you!!!!!
Yeah, that was nice wasn't it? Would never have thought of that.
That legit blew my mind! I would have tweaked colours for sure 😹
Same here! mind blown
Brilliant indeed
"A regular peasant camear - like a full frame 5D" haha funny
Feeling so poor with a crop sensor. :(
you could have a 400usd used 5d mark II
or you could even get a Nikon d610 for 450usd used
@@OrestisRovakis I'm really apprehensive about any used market. Why would people sell anything if it's fully functional? Although DSLRs might be an exception an people can outgrow it.
@@danlightened buying used is a habbit. There are certain ways to check a camera, you can also get it to a shop for check. A good reason to sell a camera is: you have used a camera you bought 1500 € for 3 years now and you want to get the new model. Instead of giving 1800 gain you give 1000 cause you can sell yours for 500. And if you are an amature and you ll never buy a new Full Frame cause of the price then buying used is making a dream come true for cheap. I have a Nikon D610 with 100K clicks which is like new cause most working hours are in studio so not sweaty hands all the time on the plastics and the buttons. So anyone who buys this for 450 euros is lucky.
I felt attacked when he said don't use the clarity slider 🥴
You're killing me with all of these transitions! Where the hell am I? 😵😵💫💫
Transitions name?
I think he's trying to make us vomit. :)
I'm immune to most things but this this is a mind fuck.....
When he puts his glasses on! Whaaaaaa so cool!
I had to pause just to see if other people was as blown away by the transitions as I were :O
This video still wins best transitions of the decade 👌🏽
You just called the 5D mark 4 a peasant camera, while I can only dream of owning one for now 🤣🤣🤣
This is EXACTLY what I've been experimenting with lately and I'm so so glad you decided to tackle this subject at this time! So grateful, you have no idea! Everyone else focuses on how to get super shallow depth of field, while I'm all about focus and a wider frame. And the intro... whoa! I'll have to re-watch it and enjoy it again!
people complaining about the intro and transitions must be jealous or something; i think they are so entertaining and fascinating! Personally, i think they hook the audience. great work!!
Congratulations, Jamie! I can only repeat what all your viewers already said: Beautiful and clever crafted transitions, not a bit boring at such a long video, in a word: bravo !
I come to your videos for the content, but often end up enjoying the form -your storytelling and your editing techniques- even more. Great work!!
I was already grabbing a screwdriver to tinker with my camera 😂😂
The Patriarch you would be on the right track ↔️↕️
Bonus points for demonising the clarity slider, you're my friend now :D
Edward Noble I think it is ok to use it. It is about how you use it!
Wow, this tutorial is 11 minutes long and not a single second of it is boring!
With this skill you should be a movie director.
I know! When it ended I was like that was a nice little 5 minute video but it was actually 11? Talk about engaging.
You edits and transitions are so on point! You make me want to be a better filmmaker and editor
The Brenizer Method
Yeah. I thought I'd invented this for a while until I read about him. Damn it! Interesting the way he uses it primarily to get a super-shallow depth-of-field. I hadn't considered that, only that it would make your focal length effectively wider (like medium format) but without losing any image quality.
I was going to mention Ryan Brenizer
your avatar made me try to wipe a hair off my monitor :)
Good video btw - I thought I had invented it when I started doing it 10 years ago (www.edwardnoble.com/bokehpano). Ryan Brenizer did it before me, but apparently he wasn't the first person to do it either. Essentially it's just a panorama taken on a fast lens wide open, so I use a generic term for it - Bokeh Pano.
PS. You can get far more shallow depth of field using SLR lenses using this technique than you ever could have on medium format. I made a chart to find the best lenses for the technique here: www.edwardnoble.com/bp-equipment
You are blowing my mind with all your video editing skills.
I really liked how you visualized the shooting of the different angles with your 5D. That was just plain awesomeness.
Please don’t stop feeding us with your videos!
They are just too good.
For Christmas I wish that you will do more videos about video editing 😬
Have a nice week!
The amount of work you put into these is phenomenal! Great job Jamie!
Nicely done! i shot medium format professionally for 10 years and never achieved the look with a FF camera, regardless the brand. I love the look and feeling to it.
the quality of this video, in terms of content and transitions (also overlays), are dope. Thanks
I think the D850 and the A7R III are the closest that full frame cameras can come to medium format. Even so The latest generation of Sony sensors being used in the 645z/Phase One/GFX 50/H6D 50 are nearly 2 stops better in low light. Also the depth of field being shallow isn't just the reason why medium format is so lifelike. It's the way the depth of field falls off and compresses the foreground and background more than a DSLR can even with the fastest lenses. That being said it's pretty incredible how similar the A7R III is to the 50mp medium format sensors in terms of dynamic range and resolution. These sony sensors have as much dynamic range as the Arri Alexa and nearly 8X the resolution! It's never been a better time to be a photographer. That being said, until I switched to using the Pentax 645z recently I was taking shots with my wide shots 6D and using radial masks to blur the rest of the shot. It was ok, but once I shot with the medium format sensor there was no going back. Biggest disadvantage is the lack of glass, and the glass that is out costs nearly as much as mid level PL mount cinema glass (like cooke lenses). The lack of super wides is frustrating, but honestly the complete lack of distortion at "wide angles" like 35mm and 28mm on the MF sensors are extremely wide, but have almost no distortion.
As a big medium format fan (and APS-C user too) I was really dubious when I saw this pop up in my YT feed. “Oh god, what’s this jank?” But, man, what a video. Love your technique and your edit. And now I finally know what the luminosity blend mode does.
Great tips! Excellent video! I did this trick for years for some commercial work. Then I found a really nice medium format film camera and never looked back since. Doing this method makes you really appreciate Medium.
Great work! I've been doing panorama portraits with my X-E3 like this for a couple years now. Lightroom's panorama stitching is a game-changer.
Man, I love your videos... your editing is getting more and more impressive. Love it.
One minute into the video and I’m subscribed.
Btw, the word you’re looking for when describing medium format’s overall essence is higher/better “fidelity”. Cheers for the beautifully well made vid! I know Ryan brenizer and he’d agree :)
coolest intro ever.
YAY ! your back!... Totally missed you... great video.. welcome back!
Fake is aways fake. The analog photo is much more beautiful. Focal length changes everything. Thank you for the great video.
Probably the best intro I've seen this year in RUclips, awesome work!
Transitions on point. Information on point.
sick editing as always mate - i have been craving new content from you for a long time
Yet another brilliant video, Jamie. Well done! Now I'd love to try using a medium format camera to mimic large format!
I really miss your videos Jamie!
Congrats for make a such great video
Just discovered your channel recently. Have to say you have some of the best content out there! Amazing
This editting.... this quality....
By gods..
Why didn't I know about this channel when you uploaded your first video ?. Now I feel like Peter Mcckinon is overrated.
Jamie just gets straight to the point and stays on point. He's not all waffle and fluff. You'll be 5 minutes into a McKinnon video and he still hasn't got to what the video is about.
McKinnon is definitely highly overrated.
He definitely is overrated and I don't understand why people like him so much.
@ neither do I. Honestly, I don't think he's such a good photographer either. He's just very charismatic and he has a way of talking that people seem to like including me. In terms of photography and cinematography, almost everyone that i know and follow on social platforms are light years ahead of what mckinnon does.
Yeah McKinnon speak a lot🥴🥴
This is for sure ultimate photo vlog. Unprecedented quality and "flow". Thanks.
I've always liked your videos, but I love the sequences at the beginning and the other fun stuff you added. Well done
i dont regret subscribing on this channel,thanks for sharing knowledge
Your work really is on another level to everyone else. Like a Sean Tucker/James Popsys mash up (that's a compliment btw 😉)
Two of my favourite RUclipsrs. Compliment received with gratitude. Thank you.
Medium format is all about depth of field and rendering - more specifically, the smooth transition from in focus to out of focus areas.
The second part (rendering) is not a matter of sensor size, but of lens design.
With the stitching technique, you're decreasing the depth of film, but you'll never get that smooth rendering unless you use a quality (and I mean medium size quality) lens.
Just to clarify it’s not the Brenizer method he simply attached his name to this very old photographic technique.
Edward Edward collage method then?
@@BlackEagle352 Bokeh panorama
Very true but if you put Joseph Puchberger Patent 1843, you're unlikely to find many instructional videos on youtube :) (although there is one link to a video on Brenizer Method if you do that!)
Great transition mate! Loved it! I use this method all the time! The "Brenizer Method" is amazing! It yields the best digital rendition I have ever seen from a 35mm body! Thanks for sharing Jamie!
Hahah, man you just nailed it with with this joke about Mick and Bowie !
Isn’t this the Brenizer method he developed for wedding photography? My MF is a 645 Bronica ETRSi, it’s my second favourite camera after my Zorki 4K but at £11 a roll I’m glad I develop and scan my own. I’m going to attempt a panorama of 15 120 images over winter when the sun is at the right place over the Solway, going to scan them in as TIFFS and then stitch them in Lightroom. It’ll probably take about 3 days to clean all the images up but I just want to try it to see what happens...that is besides my computer totally choking. Great tip for fixing the picture, thank you for that. Jamie Windsor and David Hancock posting on the same day could quite possibly take my respect into overload. Brilliant video, and you look good in the glasses...well at least better than Bowie and Jagger in the "Dancing In The Street" video.
just build yourself a ryzen PC and you're golden fam
I have had a lot of luck stitching images using Image Composite Editor from Microsoft. It is free was developed for massive stitching. Lots of options for projections. I find it works more reliable than Photoshop Elements. www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/computational-photography-applications/image-composite-editor/.
My experience with stitching medium format film landscapes tells me to plan the exposure ahead of time. Understand the darkest and lightest elements of the scene and use the same exposure setting for all shots. This also means lots of variation in lighting needs to be avoided (clouds, setting/rising sun, etc) or you must plan to work quickly. I had trouble with a canyon scene where the sun was in one frame and the shadow of a cliff in another. You may need to compromise. I would stay away from reversal film in this application because of this. Negative film will be much more forgiving. Meter the shadows you want detail into zone 3 (2 stops underexposed) and let the highlights take care of themselves. Nothing shows up a stitched scene like different exposures on different frames.
Thanks for sharing the Microsoft option! Will try that.
BigDogDoug Cambridge Sorry, I should have said the 15 shots are actually 5 bracketed +2 and -2, my comment is misleading. I'll be shooting from the Scottish side of the Solway for the version I’m printing off in the larger form which gives me a foreground of salt grass. All the mountains will be the distant English Lake District. I’m off to Lake Vyrnwy in Wales on Sunday just for a test run and to see if I can do it. There will be much more chance shadows playing a role there. Whatever happens I always use the same exposure for panoramas and I'll spot metre for all my zones beforehand. Once the sun gets near the top of the English mountains (I’ll be shooting SE from Scotland) the light will change very fast indeed. With the extra 2 stops either side I should cover myself against blowing out my whites and I should have enough shadow detail to avoid any muddiness in the early shots. I’m planning on using a C-41 film as I don’t want a supersaturated image of Velvia and in all probability will go with Fuji Pro 160ns. I’m ebbing and flowing whether to develop and scan myself, which even on the most sterile conditions will be a long job, but if I do I use Windows for scanning so Ill try that program thank you. Or get it developed and scanned in a lab, but Nick Carver had a lot of problems there, if I go with that option I’ll edit it on my iMac as it has 32GB ram as opposed to 16GB on my laptop. Whatever I do it’ll be my biggest file to date and will definitely be my biggest print as a 35mm scan at the equivalent of 25mp and my Bronica is 3x as big. It might also be the biggest fund raiser for the charity that gets all my prints, but I have a couple of prints that are well into double figures so probably not. If you look at Ray's latest video from Visual Art Photography I've gone into more detail how I’m planning to edit and print my Solway image. The Vyrnwy image will only probably be A3+ in landscape with my usual mounts, frame and alias.
I was just about to reply mentioned the Brenizer method, this is the same method used here it seems, though the goal for the Brenizer method to achieve a wide angle shot with a telephoto compression and shallow depth of field.
Ugh, the intro alone was worth it. So beautiful and inspiring!!
Really enjoyed the video, they just keep getting better
Your video transitions are awesome
So we got the British Casey Neistat here? Nice intro! Loved it.
Really well presented technique, easy to understand. However, it tipped me over the edge to doing something I’ve been toying with for ages; I went out and bought a Mamiya M645 for 180 quid! Currently working through my first roll of Ektar.
Great video...I've been experimenting with various applications of panorama's for some time and thoroughly enjoyed the added depth and detail. It's a technique worth persevering with. The luminosity blend is a terrific tip for patching PS stitching errors, which can happen often.
I was sceptical clicking on the video because of the clickbait title and thumbnail, but this has been super entertaining and informative. Thanks!
Great video! The transition and information are on point!
The Brenizer Method is what I know its called!
This can be used in just about any type of photography!
Little more difficult is using this technique to make an image sharper using an older camera with fewer megapixels can make an image sharper than a newer camera with better megapixels. The file size will be huge but you can achieve a much better image using an older camera.
Subscribed within the first 20 seconds of the video. Awesome transitions!
Cool Intro, love it! Something to state not mentioned in the video, is shooting subjects close up with this overlapping method will have parallax problems that make things not line up in the stitch (the picture frames) even WITH a tripod used. What you'll need to prevent parallax problems is a nodal rail on the tripod. But you can always try your luck and with a blurred background such as this, hope the post production won't take an eternity.
Great topic and great explanation. One thing you seem to gloss over is the difference in the background. The full frame camera enlarges the background, as seen in the right picture at 8:12 because of the 85mm lens which is not comparable to the 80mm lens you are using on the medium format camera. If you want to have the same size background as the medium format camera shot on 80mm, you would need to use the full frame equivalent focal length, which would be around 44 mm. It would have been better to have shot the digital image on a 50mm lens. The merged image would not have as many pixels because you don't need as many composite images due to the wider angle, but it would be more true to the background/foreground composition of the medium format shot. The one thing I am beginning to understand about the quality of medium format is that it is very hard to create the same depth of field on a full frame camera because the needed equivalent focal length to get the same perspective (44mm in this case) would usually not produce the same amount of bokeh. What a medium format sensor does is enable you to get the optical quality you usually only get with longer lenses wide open on full frame, while maintaining a wider angle. And off course the extra detail and film look helps a lot too.
Duuuuude..... Your video editing is BOSS!!! These Lightroom/Photoshop edits and hacks... BOSS!!! You've earned a like and a new subscriber!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽📸💯
80mm on a Hasselblad is equivalent to a 50mm in 35mm format
Not if you stitch several pictures together.
yes, i commented whie looking at the video, after a while i discovered the whole process.. my bad!
@@jamiewindsor do you address the difference in dof and background in the next video?
What FoV equivalency aims to do is compensate the effects of different crop factors. For the same lens, focal length stays the same no matter what sensor you put it in front of. Imagine the following: you take a 50 f/1.8, you slap it on an APS-C camera and take a picture at f/1.8; then, from the same exact position, you put the same lens on a full frame body and take the same picture with the same settings. If from that point you crop the full frame picture by exactly the crop factor difference between the two cameras, the two pictures will look exactly the same in terms of DoF, perspective and framing, probably the only difference will be the number of pixels you have.
But, in this example, isn't there more included in the background of the 80mm Hassy image than in the composite of more narrow shots? That yellow poster-isn't that because the Hassy's 80mm is a wider perspective, which then affects the image the same way using a 50mm lens is different than shooting the same subject with a 28mm lens on 35mm, even if you adjust the composition so that the foreground subject fills the 'same piece of space?' I would think that the wider lens (80mm on 6x6) would give more of a 3D look than a more compressed rendition of a telephoto lens. Obviously, we're talking about nuance here, but if we're here to try to make 35mm look like MF, nuance is what we're after.
That was hands down the best transition I have ever seen in my life
I do these kind of shots all the time with my D800 and D850, it's so effective especially with static elements in the frame.
The part at 5:20 was dope, excellent representation of the process
Those transitions were amazing 👌
This guy has mastered the art of transitioning! Cheers, love your vids!
So many ideas and so little time to copy them, ehem, I mean learn and be influenced by. No seriously! Great info, superb editing and bringing it all together with spot on images!
Thanks for sharing this idea! Seen a couple of your videos and I think you'll be making more solid content in the future. Subscribed.
OH MY DAMN!!! Totally lost it with the Mick and David reference!!!🤣
those scene transitions are excellent! cheers!
Dude you are a wizard. Always look forward to your informative and entertaining videos, thanks!
Love those transitions :)
That’s some very impressive editing you did there. Subbed.
the fix at the end BLEWWW my mind! Damnnn
Absolutely love it. Thanks for making such great videos!!!
Superb editing! Straight to the point!
this is so interesting i love your videos !!! and i love how you actually edit your video in a smart way, not just "vlog style" as all the (really) lazy youtubers ;)
Great video, I'll be trying this technique when shooting next. Welcome back also.
Luminosity trick has saved my day! Thank you!
Love these dope transitions
Your video transition’s sick man!!
getting clever with those transitions ... nice work!
One of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen! Amazing
Amazing work with your videos! Keep going...
Great intro sequence ! Seemed like a Jamiroquai music video !
I had to drag my wife up from downstairs to show her what I mean by good video editing. Learned something about photoshop too. Excellent😁
Your videos are the treat to the eyes.❤️
Jamie, I´m really happy a I found your channel! Great learning tips while in quarantine. Keep going, stay safe :)
Thanks, will do!
The editing on this intro was just amazing
I love the transitions
Awesome transitions!
Pretty awesome trick mate. Time consuming but handy.
Nice! learned the luminosity trick, very cool
Fred looks like a real barrel of laughs.
Hey Jamie, love your video. I've experimented for quite some time with this method. The best results can be achieved by using a tripod that rotates the camera and the lens around the nodal point. This way eliminates all possible artifacts and removes the parallax. Cheers!
Why is the clarity slider bit making me laugh so much
Wow!! Your skills are amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Wow man, CTRL + ALT for brush size/softness & that Luminosity......Awesome tips thanx!
WOW!!!! you are a photography GOD!!!!! Thank you VERY much for all your hard work, and sharing it! :)
Great video, thank you for all these tips!
Interesting process. I guessed it would take multiple images. Great explanation.
Great video, dynamic, good presentation! Keep up this great content coming :) Thank you
