A quick look about my camera collecting tutorials, telling you what to expect to see in the upcoming videos.
Does every picture have to be sharp ?
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 4 lety
When photographing action we strive for quality images but does every picture have to be sharp. Sometimes movement can add a lot to an image. By using a long exposure dynamic images can be made without using post production. With wide angle lenses more action can be shown by panning with a moving subject.

Still life demo advanced photography, What's involved
zhlédnutí 29KPřed 6 lety
A quick look at a still life shoot , It's a lot simpler than most people think.With very simple light and decent composition still life can be very easy. Advertising photography is often controlled by the art director, this doesn't leave a lot of room for creativity apart from the lighting and composition, so great attention must be made for a good photograph.

Portraits with a strip light

Shooting portraits can be great fun, although sometimes placing the light when using speed lights can be very difficult, this film shows the great advantage of using some sort of continuous light in this case studio flash with modelling lamps that allow complete control when directing lights for serious portraiture.

Thanks!!
very nice thank you for this work
nice concept
Very detailed review, thank you !
Model?
Hi Phillip, thanks for the video. I'm currently trying to photograph shiny metal furniture studs. Have you got any recommendations please? I think the shape of them is causing all the issues because they're domed. regards Chris
Hi Chris, glad you enjoyed it. There is nothing worse than a domed or curved piece of metal, that needs to look like silver, is it just one stud or a shot of a chair with many studs ?
@@PhillipMcCordall Hi Phillip, Thanks for getting back to me. It's a row of three, on the corner of a footstool. Regards Chris
@@ng3man1 I really don't know how to help, I presume the problem is caused by the studs are deep into the leather meaning you can't reflect dark or light into them, maybe covering the studs in black velvet then double expose the studs with a different lighting. Another way I have solved problems like this is with a small torch and light them one at a time with no other lights on.
@@PhillipMcCordall Thanks, I will give that a try and I'm sure with a bit of perseverance I'll get there in the end. All the best
You could always try setting a small mirror shining on each stud.
Thanks for such a positive video. I'm getting what appears to be your lens's doppelganger. Looking forward to taking it hiking with me as a lightweight telescope. There are lots of t2-to-1.25 adapters out there for exactly that purpose. It'd be sort of a more-compact Celestron C90, which is also pretty good for hiking, though on the large side of possible. We'll see how well collimated it is and/or how easy it is to align. As for the TC, I'll probably stick to a telescope Barlow or a nice Sigma APO.
homemade nucleated glass! I use a cheap etching tool.
Exellent !!
No doubt. I have Sigma 600mm😍
what a lot of waffle the sinnar F was the field camera for external use and the P was the pro camera for studio use the 'C' was for composite
totally disagree with you and find your remark both offensive and rude. The P was much more accurate for focus , pros who could afford the P used them for everything, if you couldn't afford a P you bought an F. I have been concerned with Sinars from 1964 using the Norma at first . I retired with 2ps and two Fs that I often used for quadruple exposures on 10x8 moving the film from one to the other for very complicated advertising images.
nicely done - love it
Thank you glad you like it :)
Jeremy Parr thank you Phillip this as bean very helpful great photography work yours truly Jeremy Parr 😁
Jeremy Parr Hi Phillip I have the canon A E 1 Program it takes wonderful photos I like to shoot black and white but I not too sure with is the best film to uses can you till me with your expertise what is the best film to uses for taking black and white photos yours truly Jeremy😁
Hi Phillip, great video on the sinar p for macro. Just one question, I’m looking to mount a dslr or mirrorless camera to my own Sinar. Did you make the adapter board yourself or did you purchase it from somewhere, many thanks, Chris
I would make my own to de honest, it's a very simple job.
Many thanks, not having done this before, would you recommend the use of a recessed lens board as a starting point?
Wow - thanks so much for this - I was looking through Ebay and it looks like every Leica 2 in the $800 to $1,000 price range is fake - I'm so glad I've found your video. Thanks again.
I have shot three different mirror teles, two 500mm and one 800mm. I've also shot fancy refractor 500, 600 and 800 lenses. The reflector lenses uniformly lack contrast and suffer considerable chromatic aberration. They also lack diaphragms. So, I would never recommend them for serious photography. Furthermore, without auto-focus, they are useless for birding or commercial sports photography. However, there is no denying their affordability, their compactness and portability. They are certainly fun to use and (due to their low cost) would be a good match for a middle-schooler going to the zoo or maybe shooting a baseball game from the nosebleed seats. In fact, they do a decent job for railfans shooting distant locomotives and for folks with beachfront property who like to take snapshots of ships crossing the horizon. There are many non-critical applications for reflector lenses where super-expensive telephoto lenses would be overkill. However, if you're investing thousands of dollars on a safari, then I urge you to rent a serious refractory telephoto lens, not one of these reflectors.
amazing camera and fail proof, every picture out of it is perfect
the camera s great but perfect pics need a great photographer :)
Jeremy Parr wow this is just mind blowing shot top stuff brilliant photography Phil👋👋👋👋
It brings back some memories I can tel you :)
Phil, so pleased for your return. Thanks for your dedication.
Hope you enjoyed Lancaster when you were here!
I did!
So wonderful to see you posting a new video! Nice boat you have there. Bless you for sharing your passion for photography and depth of experience.
Thankyou, I never seem to have the time to post at the moment, too much outside work on the boat and my Morris 1000
do you have any pictures of the morris? @@PhillipMcCordall
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
I don't know why everybody says that exposure needs to be manual. My Nikon D7000, from about a decade ago, allows me to assign a 'non-cpu lens'. In my case it's 500mm & f6.3, now I use aperture priority to adjust shutter speed & ISO. The focus is still manual and very picky, but exposure is not a problem. Check your user manual!
Great video, thanks mate!
There are fakes, and then there are clones
you omitted japanese copies.. CANON; Nikon were involved in making bodies, lrnses. Leotax also? servicemen, eat photographers found some of them wprthehile.
Document life on the boat!! Don't worry about doing only photography stuff! Show us where you go, where you stay, what you eat, and the daily tasks you have to do!
Great video and review of the Exakta , quick question I am finding it difficult to locate someone who can service Exakta shutter blinds as most of them I have come across have pinholes
Thank you for these valuable tips
Fascinating video! I have an interesting "Leica clone" with Fed-1 DNA but it doesn't try to pass as a Leica! No, that would be too straight forward and perhaps overly obvious! No, it instead poses as a famous Japanese Leica clone! It tries to pass as a Leotax with the Showa Optical Works Ltd. nomenclature and such! The lens is a collapsible 5cm f/3.5 marked Lantana Anastigmat with metal Leotax cap. But it has the Fed-1 four slotted screws on its front and the three around the tripod socket on the bottom and of course a lever in the lens cavity instead of the Leica roller! It works well (after a fashion) and is interesting as a "clone of a clone" but it's NOT a Leica OR a Leotax!
Great to see you back in harness again so to speak. Over the 2 or 3 years I have wondered how you are after being stuck in Hebden Bridge. Lovely place though it is - it's beauty and novelty might wear rather thin not knowing when you might be able to resume your journey. I hope that time wasn't too stressful for you with all its uncertainties of lockdown. All the very best to you and I look forward to more great videos.
Thanks , I'm planning one or two, not all on camera collecting
nice to see you coming back!
Thankyou
You can use auto ISO in M mode with these lenses. These lenses will work better on mirrorless IMO. One of my motives for getting the Z6ii was the IBIS would provide image stabilization so I could get a couple extra stops below 1/500 if needed. Focus peaking would pinpoint the focus as I turned the huge focus ring. I am using the Nikkor 500mm f/8 which I think is a better lens than the cheaper Chinese knock offs.
Is it toxic? Is it food safe? Thank you!
We add so many products to food for photography , so I would never eat it :) One was Amonia and hydrochloric acid , mix the fumes and it makes a good steam effect :)
What a knowledgeable person, and such a great presenter. I have watched this many times, and have learnt so much. Thankyou
Thankyou so much for that super comment.
I do have a replica (fake) leica This video is a really good information video that you sir :)
6:09 Sibling might be the word.
Yes that's the word :) :)
Life on a Narrow Boat perhaps?
Thank you for your great tutorials. I'm a product photographer since 1997. Guess what takes me a lots of effort and time! Convincing clients that you need to CONTROL, not ELIMINATE black shadows on shiny metallic objects or glass. In some cases i need to do crazy editing and remove the black surfaces to prove that now the object without any reflections looks like pained with white ceiling paint. Nothing like a metal.🤪
Glad you enjoyed it, just remember a client often doesn't realise, what they need to make their product look good :)
Hey you are still alive. Isn’t that something!!! Good to see you making videos again. Still as quirky as ever.
Good to see you again...
Tank you for your camera Collecting advice, i really enjoyed it, however, could you possibly do More stories from your work life?i love to hear how you did Things back in the day... like the AUDI shot... this was the greatest video ever for me...
I'll try , the biggest problem is finding the pics, most were destroyed in a fit of depression when things went digital :(
Hello dear Sir, very good to see you again! I hope, you´re well and the "boat" is dry inside 😉
At the moment she's dry :) :)
What a great Camera! (And presenter of course)
Nice to see you again !
Nice to see you again!
Perfect video, great info and relaxing after a harddays work.
