For photo walks
►Rode Wireless GO II With 2x Rode Lavalier amzn.to/3QV0k0l
And in the studio we use
►Rode VideoMic GO II amzn.to/3Skp837
For podcasting I recommend using a dynamic microphone as it will reject a lot of room sound and background noise. The most important part is to make sure you are as close as you can comfortably be. Using a pop filter can help reduce sibilance and plosives as well.
We just got a new dedicated audio recorder that is a much better option than using the camera's audio input - TASCAM 4-Channel Portable Audio Recorder - amzn.to/3FWPZxy

"My favorite focal length is 35mm"

Every other YT channel... Thank you for embracing the intimacy and immediacy of longer focal lengths! I love a 50mm+ because it brings things to you, to your image. Sometimes I do want a wide image that captures everything, but more often I want my camera to bring me closer, to cut out the extras. I just bought a Fuji X100S for a trip I'm going on... and its a nice camera, but the focal length just feels like I'm using my cell phone.
How fun! We have a very large Car Show in Sandpoint, Idaho. I have never been good at photographing cars. Nice video. Maybe I will give it another try.
Like you I love the 90mm lens.
Yes! 90mm club!
Finding new compositions and experimenting with perspective can really take photography to the next level.
5:06 a photographer stalking her prey, wild photographers can often resemble confused hawks with their unwavering focus and meandering path 😂😂 this was very relatable tho hahah
Another big fan of cropped scenes here, I've been trying to get familiar with wide angle lenses lately but they just don't seem to fit my eye and after a few shots I end up using 50mm or above.
Finally got a chance to catch up.. I have been so busy with Canberra trip; work and my family
Another great video.
About photographing people... I only use digital cameras for that these days.
In fact, last weekend I went to a punk/goth etc. event with several DJ's and a live band. It was my first time there, so I didn't know what expect - except for the photos from previous events. I brought a Sony RX100 III and set it to continuous shooting, auto ISO and 1/125 - 1/80 with wide open aperture and -1.7 exposure compensation the entire evening and night. It was a very dark room with lights on the stage, so I focused on getting shots of the DJ's shooting in bursts. I did manage to get some shots, I like a lot, that I might share the manager of the event, but not many.
At least it was digital...
Completely rewired my brain when it comes to cropping... We've got a few car shows in the area and now I wanna hit 'em up to give this a try. LOVE the photo at 6:54.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I hope you have fun at the car show and enjoy shooting! Thanks for watching
I like your green outfit at the car meet. It would of made for some cool photos with you inside the cars or sitting on them.
Great video. Loved seeing you crack yourself up.
Haha I’m glad to hear that thank you!
These are really beautiful photos.
We have a classic car festival coming up soon called “Graffiti Weekend” here in Southern Oregon USA. It’s a massive cruise involving probably over 150 cars. My house is smack dab in the middle of it so I will probably be sieged in (like a medieval castle). Therefore might as well shoot some film. I have never thought of trying that tight of a crop. Thank you for the idea. Got some fresh CineStill 800T (120) as well as some Kodak Gold 200 (120 also) to try out.
You are AMAZING 🤩
Thank you lovely!
Brilliant as usual Lucy! Great tips here 😊 I have been bring out the 85 and 90 more often as a challenge. Thank you for sharing!
The Zuiko 90mm, 100mm f2 lenses are some of the best vintage lenses out there in that focal length but also a bit rare.I got lucky and found 100mm f2 really cheap and couldn't be happier with it.
I totally agree, 100mm is one of my favorite focal lenghts, I have a Zuiko 100mm f 2.8 and it is amazing, guess the f2 must be a dreams lens.
I started using an 85mm on my OM system cameras during the Pandemic for street photography to keep social distance but found I liked the tight shots and the anonymity for stealth candid shots. It also tends to isolate the subject better with less distracting clutter with blurred foreground and background. This lead me to my latest style of using a 55mm f1.2 lens wide open at F1.2 to get a super narrow depth of field and to give the photo a cinematic look and feel (almost like large format). I use slow film and use a red or dark orange filter for black and white film and an ND filter for color film. Shooting at 1/500 or 1/1000 also really helps freeze the action.
Stunning photos ! 50 mm is my favourite too for simplifying the composition. Lately I have starting to use 35 mm also as it works better indoors and in travel.
Top! Old cars, cool beer and some great guitar riffs... all I love. Have fun! Greetz from Germany ❤
So glad you enjoyed! Love to hear from the German viewers too! Thanks for watching
I had always taken photos of the whole car as I am a car nut. My Grandson has always taken the cropped shots like you do. So my Grandson has taught me some lessons.
Yes I think that plays a huge part in it - whether you like/know about the cars or not. My partner tends to shoot more of the whole car and then tell me all about it and I don’t care one bit haha I’m just there for the details the colours and the photos and I have no idea about the cars themselves. It’s funny though how that changes the way you approach it. Thanks for watching lovely
Also prefer working close when shooting classic car as I find that I'm not really interested in shooting the entire car but instead like shooting the lines and shapes and details that you can get while working close. Favorite lens for shooting classic cars is a 1950's era Leica 5cm (50mm) lens as I feel the colors work great for 1950 and early 1960 cars.
Love this look Lucy! So on point.
Thank you lovely! X
Lucy, great episode. You mentioned that some girls were dressed up and wanted their picture/s taken. I have a heard time asking for a portrait. When do you know that a person wants their pic taken and how do I go about it?
I personally like shooting close crop also. Wider exposures can at times simply have just too much in them.
I like hobbiest better then amateur. Professional just means you get paid for what you do.
I'm a wedding photographer I don't say I'm a professional wedding photographer I just say I'm a wedding photographer.
I do think amateur is fine if you want to use it. Some people will say I'm a amateur sports photographer and they are working to go pro.
As a wedding yes most of the time it's a fun job but it also comes with headaches like editing a bunch of wedding photos and sitting in front of the computer for maybe four hours. Sometimes editing can be fun when you have great photos.
I think people are the most interesting photography subject. I think small zone focus cameras are best for this because people pay less attention to your camera and don’t seem to get upset. The older ones are also very quiet.
I have been doing these close crop images for years, also including reflections and trying to incorporate things like the lines on the street for geometric angles to complement the curved car panels. This weekend my daughter and I spent the morning secretly taking photos of shoes moving up an escalator or walking through a clothing shop, again using geometric angles to set off the curves of the shoes. My friends cannot understand what I am on about when they view these "strange parts" of things.
Oh my god yes!! I love this! The shoe shooting adventure with your daughter literally sounds like my dream activity but I can understand others being confused by it haha 😂 we can be a stranger bunch us photographers. Thanks for watching
@@LucyLumen The most exiting part was distracting the Mall security to allow the other to expose the partially concealed cameras, my wife would KILL if she knew what we get up to at times.
I love olympus ,i have om2n and omd em 5 mk2,im new in film photography and i like it,its more fun
Film is way more fun! Welcome to your most expensive hobbie haha 😂
I hope to win to the lottery one day 🤭
Composition has always been a problem for me. I feel like I only get three or four good shots per roll, and it's very frustrating.
Hey Scott, thanks for watching. Composition can be tricky and this is something that is a common problem with photographers. I have lots of suggestions, advice and examples that I offer in my portfolio reviews if it’s something you would like to work on and have some help with. The info is in the description of this video if you want to learn more about it. I will do a more in depth video on the subject of composition soon though but it will obviously be just broad advice.
I like to photograph hood ornaments on classic cars with a tight crop where I only get the ornament in the picture as I find them interesting. The other thing is I have found the lighting challenging at automotive museums as the cars are lit with bright LED LIGHTS for cellphones and the reflections off the cars are horrible and hard to control with uneven lighting off different parts of the car
Yes I can totally imagine the artificial light at indoor spaces would be hard to work with. I actually had a lot of trouble at this festival but I enjoyed the challenge of trying to make it work either by leaving it out or bringing it into the photo. Thanks for watching
How did you go about metering these? Reflective / incident, just letting the camera do it?
I just used aperture priority mode the metering on the OM10 is actually really really good.
@@LucyLumen Well there you go haha, and just rated at 400? The camera really nailed the direct sunlight on the paint
Yep just at 400. I think Olympus meters off the actual film’s surface or something like that Lux was explaining it to me once. Super underrated.
Wow I'm like you. I don't like much to shoot people but if they're on the way I really wanna shoot them. 😂😂😂😂
Jokes aside, great content thank you so much.
Basically, Lucy, you do fetish photography 😂 (lol as in focused on a specific part of something. In your case, through cropping and framing.)
you're still 30% too much I'm afraid 😂
Lol 😂 I know right gotta work on bringing that 30% down right?! 😆
