    I literally loved this film! It inspired me to go out and shoot more in my own city. Photography is a passion and that passion fuels something inside of you to go out and make sure you get the shot you want. That is what I love about photography.

    Explorers, shows interest in the world and how it works. You guys don't take for granted you go where others don't so its your responsibility to either address any issues you find or report them. A slight dilemma when authorities don't see it your way. A lot of these so called explorers aren't running to find something but from something and a dark dismal hole often provides shelter and quiet.

    I love this!! I'm an urban explorer and photographer (IG:@hennessyvander) based in LA, so I can totally relate. It's mostly rooftops and ruins here on the West Coast, but it's always amazing nonetheless. You don't know satisfaction until you've climbed endless flights of stairs, discover a way into a rooftop where you're not supposed to be, and sit at the edge, just drinking in the life and vibrancy around you. Each experience is worth the many risks involved. And Instagram's truly a valuable networking tool among us photographers and models. This episode covered a good portion of what we do, and I loved every second of it. Hope to see more like it!!

    What's a good camera to start shooting with? I've been iphone based for a while now and want to make the switch to a DSLR. I'll mostly be doing urban and street shooting. I've been watching the Canon D series on craigslist but nothing good yet. Is the Canon Rebel series a good start?

    • @malik2246
      @malik2246 9 лет назад

      The Rebel series is definitely a good place to start. The beautiful thing about the series is that all of the cameras are so similar. This is great because you can get an old rebel t2i (which i use) or a t3 and it won't be too different from a new rebel t5i or t7i, so it's easy to save money and get one.

    • @malik2246
      @malik2246 9 лет назад

      Also, the rebel series is made to be an entry-level DSLR, so they're great first cameras.

    • @jackkollhoff9519
      @jackkollhoff9519 6 лет назад

      West713Trey I have a Nikon d3300 which I absolutely love. If you go with it make sure to buy either the Nikon 10-20mm lense or the Rokinon 14mm. They are great wide angle lenses and they are good for filming due to them being manual focus.

    • @JessDoesGames
      @JessDoesGames 9 лет назад

      +Logic Boii canon t3 or t3i maybe even go for the t5 or t5i. Nikon D3200, D3300 and D5300 does are some pretty good choices to begin photography with but prices are pretty different, but affordable

    • @alyssab.5605
      @alyssab.5605 9 лет назад

      +Logic Boii Go for the Sony A6000! I reckon it's better than the Canon T3i and T5i. Video capability is better on the T5i but if you're shooting photos, the A6000 is much better, and faster to boot. Nikon has a better lens selection, but the body is a lot bulkier. Ultimately, it's up to what you shoot and how you want to shoot it. Invest in a good lens, it'll save you a lot of struggle in the beginning. The kit-lenses are ok but if you shell out $100-$200 more you'll be a lot happier, trust me.

    • @MrGambitttt
      @MrGambitttt 9 лет назад

      +Logic Boii To be honest, an iPhone 6s is going to be fine for most stuff. My friend @alxmclrn is an avid photographer and didn't upgrade until just recently. Having a camera does open a lot of doors, but it's good to prove yourself with simple stuff to make sure it would be worth it to upgrade. If you can't make awesome stuff with an iPhone, the equipment isn't the problem.

    • @davidkerrliving
      @davidkerrliving 8 лет назад

      +Logic Boii The Sony A6000! It is a great camera to start out on, it is small, compact but still produces the same quality photos as big Canon DSLR's if not better. It is currently the camera I have now and I love it. If you are just starting out it boasts one of the fastest autofocuses on the market and has full auto capabilities. Once you learn more you can switch to manual mode and control every aspect of the camera. Also it has interchangeable lens which means if you really get into photography some day you can upgrade your lens. I don't regret buying the A6000, and if you do decided to go with the a6000 I would start out with the kit lens. 16mm-50mm. Best of luck!
