When I think that I'm no good and should just stop trying altogether, and then I watch your guy videos and hope is restored 👌 thanks . will keep working on it
I love this video. It's so genuine and raw. We all got to start somewhere and it's nice that @Northborders is sharing his journey. I recently got into photography. Watching this video at the start of my journey gives me some faith/hope that my photos (in the future) may turn into bangers with some practice/experience.
Honestly great job man. I just worked on my 2020 demo reel and it's insane just how far I have come and improved in just one year. Your video gave me me the feeling that in the next two years, I will look at my work today, and not even recognize it haha.
The Ferrari shot, was that shot at Albert Park, where they have the F1 race? Because that long left hand turn looks like the back straight leading up to the high speed chicane. It looks so different without all of the sponsors and barricades and everything else.
I am at still at the "My videos suck" stage :) I only have 21 videos posted and 65 subs but I push myself to learn something new each video - thanks for sharing and good to see how far you have come You are a great teacher and help me a lot - funny review of Nikon - I am just about to get a new video camera and can't decide Nikon or Sony
I think these videos are amazing because it really shows where it all began. Even when i see some of my old photoshoots i freak out too but that's the thing i guess :')
As much as you can look back and joke on your old work, theres was quite a bit of creativity there. I think seeing people nowadays on youtube can feel demotivating because your own videos arent as good as theirs, so its nice to see even the pros sucked at some point.
i have the same setup with the nikon 810 and tamron 24-70 2.8 and found it to be more reliable than both my sony and leica cameras. I have had some small issues with cards and firmware updates that doesn't work with some lenses, other than that it's a good camera setup in my opinion better than sony a7 series. The only thing I sometimes have a problem with is the size(with the battery grip) and how it makes people uncomfortable when taking event and street shoots.
I think people are always going to be uncomfortable when you take street shots haha. My Nikon was a solid camera for 3-4 years until I think it just had enough and then one thing after another kept going wrong. When it comes to film making and photography, no camera I've used can compare to the Sony A7 series cameras in my opinion.
Same freakin problem like i bought 4 sd card cause it is always saying that i need to change the sd card until i realized the only problem is where we are inserting this midgets is already damage. Foooc HAHAHAHAHA Btw great job brother!!!
@@AceYYC he litterly acts like it was old garbage while its one of the best cameras ever made, yea its autofocus in liveview is bad, but its autofocus in the OVF is good, offcourse it doesnt automaticly snap on things, you need to do it yourself, but the image quality is amazing, I wish I had one, i have a Nikon D7200 right now and the quality is still amazing, I think I'll stay with nikon forever and I still prefer dslrs over mirrorless unless its for video.
Nice video bro! I’ve just started my channel last year and I don’t have a clue what I’m doing first video was on a GoPro cos that’s the only camera I had that wasn’t my phone Now I’ve upgraded to a canon 80d
You should try the D850! It will give you completely different results! No better camera for photos than the D850! (Although focus still won't be good for videos but that's when the Z7 comes into the picture)
I have a d7100 w/ 18-200 i use the most and I personally love it still!! i dont film very much, but i recently got a glidecam for it. Mike besides your Lemon of a camera, and not having active autofocus while filming, what else did you not like it for? As I said I'm still pretty fresh to filming but I definitely don't hate my Nikon... in fact I find them by far the most comfortable camera to hold. Does anybody have valid arguments that might show why or why not Nikon is worth staying with?
I guess when it came to film making the d810 really let me down. It couldn't handle much of an increase in ISO at night, didn't shoot 4k, had no slo motion or high frame features, nor an electric viewfinder or silent shooting mode (a real silent mode where the shutter didn't make any noise) whereas the Sony DOES have all these features I need plus more. Maybe the new Nikon mirrorless cameras do have these features... I haven't really checked and I don't really care because I'm happy with my Sony's and don't feel the need to switch :)
@@NorthBorders thanks for the reply!! 🔥 That makes sense bro and I guess if your content demands those things it would be worth it! I'll keep a gear switch as a consideration when I up my video skills more! My insta LensFlairPhotos I'd love a critique on some of my car shots! 📸 🔥 ♥
I mean... They're defintely better than my shitty as photos, videos, etc. I've had my Sony A6000 since September 2017 and still barely know how to use it. lol I've slowly learnt what everything does though.
Mike, I think it would be really cool if you took some of these old videos you criticize and look back on, and maybe redid them to show what you would have changed and show how you have improved.
see idk what u mean those vids from the past are like still pretty good like I couldn't do that im still getting into the whole photography and videography thing
Thing is, you arfe laughing about it now, but back then I am 100% sure you were so fkn proud of these videos. Like, I'm planning to start making videos aswel and I know I will make a lot of shitty vids, but I will be so fkn proud of them and me at the same time. Anyway, this is inspiring, showing us basically all the work you put into what you're doing. Have a go-shit one ;)
yoooo mike , i got a video idea my booyyyyy can u teach us how to slow things down in a video , with this fps 30-60 - and 120 `? the difference etc ? like a hole detication videon on fps videos how to make a video slowmotion and how to change it on the camerA? would be awesome 10:22
I actually watched the Dosey pant active video before watching this one (bc I think you made it public) and I thought it was your actual video. It's not that bad!
These video are actually really inspiring, to see how professional people also sucked at the start of there journey aswell
their*
Catalin no one cares
Honestly, these videos weren't that bad :P
Yes Amen !!!
@@jimym__ i do
13:15 ‘the sky was blue’ English teacher: wow so deep!
Northborders: “that is soo horrible”
Me: watching the same shot 10 times to see how he got that amazing angle 😂
When his “bad” videos are 10 times better than yours😂😂
IKR 😂😂
When I think that I'm no good and should just stop trying altogether, and then I watch your guy videos and hope is restored 👌 thanks . will keep working on it
The comprtion vids photos are actually sick
I love this video. It's so genuine and raw. We all got to start somewhere and it's nice that @Northborders is sharing his journey. I recently got into photography.

7:27 ah that was the video you randomly putted online
Title suggestion:
Reacting to MY OLD VIDEOS **embarrassing**
John French cheers boss
North Borders no worries chief. More coming soon
He actually did it👏🏻👏🏻
whats up bro hahaha
He was doing filmmaking with a camera that was designed and made for portrait and landscape photography... AMAZING! Lmao.
these photos are still really good like wow! when you said the iinet ones i was expecting worse those are amazing for the time!!
That spray paint video was actually really good even if you don’t think so now. Seriously great work for what you had
Honestly great job man. I just worked on my 2020 demo reel and it's insane just how far I have come and improved in just one year. Your video gave me me the feeling that in the next two years, I will look at my work today, and not even recognize it haha.
damn this is super early lol its 5:42 am here in Texas i haven't slept yet but hey now i can see a great North Borders video :)
Who needs sleep anyway
Just recently found your channel, so inspired to start photography again, keep up the sick work, "have a shit one".
So proud that I made your youtube Banner,thank you for using it
I love seeing the progress because everyone starts somewhere, it’s cool to see
North border I’m a big fan of your work, I thought it would be interesting to see your attempt in fixing badly taken photos
The Ferrari shot, was that shot at Albert Park, where they have the F1 race? Because that long left hand turn looks like the back straight leading up to the high speed chicane. It looks so different without all of the sponsors and barricades and everything else.

You are a great teacher and help me a lot - funny review of Nikon - I am just about to get a new video camera and can't decide Nikon or Sony
hey Dave, keep going bro! Consistently is key.
appreciate your support :)
I would recommend a Sony
always a good laugh going back through old vids hey. mad to think how much you improve when you compare two! solid G
I think these videos are amazing because it really shows where it all began. Even when i see some of my old photoshoots i freak out too but that's the thing i guess :')
The focus pull got me ngl😂 some good shit right here😂
This video is awesome Mike! Keep up the great work. I love your videos and they make quarantine better for me!!
Ahaha, you worked with Lew... Now I know where you get your humour from 😄
I feel u bro. Shot a short film when I was in university. AND I use Nikon d800e.
i think your old photos are actually pretty cool 🌝
I just realized your thumbnail was the same as your 4x4 Ferrari. A king with sarcasm
As much as you can look back and joke on your old work, theres was quite a bit of creativity there. I think seeing people nowadays on youtube can feel demotivating because your own videos arent as good as theirs, so its nice to see even the pros sucked at some point.
I'd love to see you try your best to remake one of your old videos but use the skills you've learned over the years to improve it. Cheers!
You have such an amazing channel ! I love seeing videos like these

D810 is very good for landscapes and stills in general. I would take an an a7 over it if i'm shooting video. Other than that the d810 is a beast.
Mike i like ur video so much it's so inspiring and by the way u fkn looks like my elder brother😂....
Same freakin problem like i bought 4 sd card cause it is always saying that i need to change the sd card until i realized the only problem is where we are inserting this midgets is already damage. Foooc HAHAHAHAHA
Btw great job brother!!!
I like how the videos are still pretty good.
9:31 me approving myself for every shitty work I've ever done
Legend Mike, just when i dont feel like pushing on because my content sux ballz, i come across this...and Im back!!! Lol. Your the man!!
Love you Mike keep doing what you're doing!
this inspired me to look at my old photos and shit man they were terrible, im pretty happy about my progression
good job as usual man. keep it up
Wow Biggest fan watching you from bottom to top is like WOW Great keep it up
"These are so shit/bad"
*Me peaks over at my own videos*
Yeaaaaa I'll just go hide in the corner real quick.
I started a few days ago photographing with Nikon D5000. This is old school. :P
5:00 is that a startrails shot? I always like you and the boys contents. Even has a pandemic y'all creating good videos and i love to watch it❤
I literally just bought a D810 for my first full frame and I'm loving it.
I feel u on that I just feel like I was being attack lol
D810 is a great pro camera and the mainstay of many pros, regardless of him roasting it.
@@AceYYC he litterly acts like it was old garbage while its one of the best cameras ever made, yea its autofocus in liveview is bad, but its autofocus in the OVF is good, offcourse it doesnt automaticly snap on things, you need to do it yourself, but the image quality is amazing, I wish I had one, i have a Nikon D7200 right now and the quality is still amazing, I think I'll stay with nikon forever and I still prefer dslrs over mirrorless unless its for video.
That reaction face in the thumbnail hahaha
The last one isn’t that bad. Great video! You should definitely try to film another Testarossa🏎💨
Nice video bro! I’ve just started my channel last year and I don’t have a clue what I’m doing first video was on a GoPro cos that’s the only camera I had that wasn’t my phone
Now I’ve upgraded to a canon 80d
Hey Mike could you do a video explaining how to fix a color change after exporting and airdropping to your phone?
see you getting donut media recommended im proud of you
1:04 You can give me that CAMERA..!!!
bro some of those pics were absolute bangers even though u were 16
5%music
5%videos
10% videos
1000% focus
You should try the D850! It will give you completely different results! No better camera for photos than the D850! (Although focus still won't be good for videos but that's when the Z7 comes into the picture)
I'm still impressed how this guy got clients at such a young age
Not about what you know, It's about who you know

glad to see others did the nikon to sony switch
Maybe my sd could fit in there 👀
Using my d3100 10y/o camera. Yep it sux
I love Aussie and I love ur contents keep it up👍
Mike, I think it would be really cool if you took some of these old videos you criticize and look back on, and maybe redid them to show what you would have changed and show how you have improved.
Well now we know why the spray painting video was out!
14:09 Aye that’s Albert Park, innit?
seams like it
Would you say it’s worth it right now to start making videos as a photographer? I feel like it’s worth a shot, I’ve been contemplating it for a while
give it to me, your old nikon camera haha 😂
see idk what u mean those vids from the past are like still pretty good like I couldn't do that im still getting into the whole photography and videography thing
Haha I had a bit of experience before filming these videos, I'll have to see if I can dig up some even older videos haha
Your old photos are so cool haha 😂

I am still saving for the Nikon d810,i only shoot stills.
😂 I can’t wait until I have enough content to look back and do one of these videos on my channel. Cause ooooof it’s gonna be hilarious...
I like the way you say "knick-on" instead of "naikon". So Aussie.
hahah its more or less the correct way to say it 😜
It's like you're supposed to have always been bad when you are reacting.. Some stuff is not bad shit Mike... Every single photo shows talent
You made better videos at 16 than many are doing now with überprofessional gears.
4:56 honestly they're not bad ahaha
yoooo mike , i got a video idea my booyyyyy
can u teach us how to slow things down in a video , with this fps 30-60 - and 120 `? the difference etc ? like a hole detication videon on fps videos how to make a video slowmotion and how to change it on the camerA? would be awesome 10:22
