Michael Breitung, a German photographer, gave a pretty positive review of the NiSi 15mm some time back. That lightning "framing" La Capilla is incredible.
Nice catch! Personally, I would prefer 20mm and 40mm for landscapes. Too bad Canon doesn't offer any decent little 20mm primes. The 40mm pancake is great though. However, a 15mm lens should work well for close-up / environmental macro type of shots, for putting something in the foreground. You know ...
Love these videos Brent! Thanks for showing true opinions on a lens. Also for making us better photographers (me anyway). Teaching me a whole bunch of techniques I hadn’t tried and now love shooting. Thanks so much
When the horizon is sloping, where do you set your crop? With the base of the clouds? In camera using the level? Or just eyeball it? I always have problems when I try it myself. Lately I’ve been using LuminarAi to straighten it. Great job as always!
A fair review I would say. It does beg the question as to what exactly is your “Go To” wide angle lens if you can only pack one in your bag ? Theoretically of course.
Right now my go to ultra wide is the Samyang 14mm f2.8, and the 16-35mm f/4 if I need a zoom and/or filters. Soon it will probably be the RF 14-35mm F/4.
Another great video Brent..Love the lightning shots. the one with the bolts on each side of the building was super cool. I use a Sigma 20mm 2.8 for all my lightning photos, the problem is that the lens hood is permanently attached im unable to use screw-on filters with it.
The night you were shooting I wanted to shoot also but the lightning was right on top of me (Wind Canyon) and the clouds starting dumping. Was able to shoot some bolts the night before down towards the Burros. You got some really cool shots!.
Oh man, that's crazy! I went out a couple nights later and got some really big bolts right over town. It was a bit too close for comfort being out there for that, lol.
I'm surprised you didn't leave more of the sky and a little less of the foreground? The clouds/sky area was dynamic with the bolt. Nicely captured for testing f/11.
Manual lenses? You are bringing back the memories!
woow... fantastic... I am enjoying every seconds.... 6.45 shot was the best
Many thanks!

I'm really happy more r lenses are coming, really appreciate the vids and post processing 👍
Absolutely love this guy thank you for what you do
Many thanks, I appreciate that!

You bet man, I'm glad I could help!

It depends on the subject. I usually just eyeball it if I'm handheld, or use the on screen level on the lcd if I'm on a tripod.

I like the crop at 25:08 to 25:11
Nice video, thanks!

Yeah, my compositions tend to suffer when I'm rushed and multitasking for videos... oh well.
@@BrentHall The double bolt will be sell easily.
LOL. No matter WHEN you leave, you will ALWAYS arrive precisely 5 minutes late. :)
Had did you get your camera to continually take long exposer shots?
With the built-in intervalometer.
If you won the lottery, what is your dream set up for birds and wildlife.
Can you make your next video about samsung note 20 ultra
Sorry, I don't have that phone. The camera is pretty much the same as the S20 Ultra though.
@@BrentHalli'll make sure to check that video
i got yopur iso, shutter speed and aperture but did you do timelapse and hope that the cam ctches the lightning?
Yes, I pretty much always do a timelapse for lightning.
