I think you got some good results from your experiment. I believe that it's always a good idea to go out and do exactly the opposite of what you are supposed to do for a given genre. You have nothing to lose, it will test your creativity and you never know what unique images that will result.
This made me miss shooting landscape it’s been a while I normally find trails and get lost and come out with some amazing shots. Looking to get back into it maybe pick up a Sony a7c
When you remove the plastic piece at the back of that lens you can get some more usable image circle width for FF. Makes this lens a nice hack for video with the ac7ii clear image zoom. Removing the plastic piece allows you to get away with only a 1.2 or 1.3x zoom.
Thank you Justine for the lovely photos and suggestions. I noticed that you came closer to your subjects in some of the photos as you’d have with a longer lens. I struggle also in my street photography with my 35mm lens as I prefer 55 or 80mm. But as you say in this video, practice is everything.
Thank you for the kind words, Michaela! Yes, even with wide angles I’m getting closer. I think it’s an exercise in becoming intimately aware of a subjects immediate surroundings, whether that’s a person or a plant 😅 I just can’t compose those typical landscape shots with so much going on but I will get there eventually.
Great video and photos as per usual... and as much as it makes me want to pick up my camera, I'm even more inspired by your setting! I definitely need more forest-bathing in my life.
did this with an og a7c on a trip to iceland, works really well and is as compact as it gets, great for photos, even better for video as you don't suffer from the loss in resolution as much, loved the setup
Love this, and in fact inspired by it to take my xe1 and pancake lens into the woods! Great idea! Thanks for a great video! Oh, and btw, the outtakes, pure gold. So real and honest, so good. Never not do those! Cheers!
Wow this video was so good! I love the sound in the opening clip, are you using an on camera mic for that or was that through a lav? It really was a good branch.
Heh I liked that someone noticed that detail 🙂 all audio was recorded entirely by a microphone I plugged in. Got it from Amazon for $20 (Neewer CM14 from almost 5 years ago). I’m surprised it picked up the crunchy footsteps from all the way back where I started walking!
The Sony 35mm 1.4 GM Lens you think you want is a bit too big for my taste, I have two 35mm Lenses, the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 T* ZA which is very compact and light weight and the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 35mm 2.0 Aspherical which is just as good in optical performance as the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM. For Landscapes I use Sony A7RIVA and Sony A7RV, it is a great to have lot of resolution to catch all the details in a Landscape. You can use any kind of good quality prime Lenses for Landscape, I have prime Lenses from 14mm to 500mm which I use for Landscape, most often the focal length are from 21mm to 135mm. You mimicked the 20mm to act as a 30mm Lens, but just remember that the 20mm have more depth of field than a 30mm Lens.
Love how peaceful your videos are. Very good talker and teacher. Happy to have found your channel.
This is so relaxing) I like small lenses as well.
You are talking so calm. That's nice. Not like other RUclipsrs who come out of our screens, screaming. Lols

Well said! Thank you 🙏
Justine + nature + beautiful shots + dry humor + bloopers - occasionally yelling at nature = Another great video
Hahaha occasionally yelling at nature is healthy

To be honest, even with the 1.5x crop to 30mm feels too wide 😂 this hack will just make me more anxious about how wide the field of view gets 😅
But thank you! If I reach that stage of my curiosity I’ll consider it 🙂

Thank you for the lesson. Very informative.
If you allow yourself to do so, simplicity is the wonderful basis of some growing qualities.

I can imagine this being really good for landscapes in general but even better in Iceland 😊

I ordered the Viltrox full frame 28mm pancake! Can't wait.
I didn't know that existed! I'll have to look into that.
@@BadSloucher google -> Viltrox indiegogo - still big discount for this lens.
Very nice photographs. I do the genre is more "nature photography" than "landscape photography", though. 😉
Another Great Video! And also great Eye for Branches

Great editing as always! :)

Yeah, I guess nothing can compare to the real thing. You can only get close to it.
