Breaking 4 Photography Rules on Portra 400
Mate, these shots are unreal! Awesome work. Keen to try it out myself sometime
That didn’t last long for Pentax. They didn’t produce many of them, so there was a backlog of people waiting to get them. Now that enough have been distributed in just a few weeks - there is now a surplus of them. Turns out that they are not selling well at all. Wonder if Pentax will reduce the price to four hundred?
Doubt it, it’s a great camera. Niche uses but it crushes those niches. We’ll see! Hope this leads to a new medium format tho 🤤
Awesome video, Lucien
Thank you mate!
You mentioned "phase" detect did you mean multi field detect?
Yep!
Nice one!
Thanks mate! 💪
Hiii, We should meetup for a photowalk. Enjoy Vienna.
❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
Nice work mate. I love the last set of images in the collage, haven’t seen something like that done before.
Thanks man! Yeah the fact they’re going after the disposable camera crowd reminded me of photo collage walls you’d put up in your room as a teenager, which got me thinking of the David Hockney Polaroid collages, which this seems like the perfect camera for. Going to do some street portraits in a similar fashion too
Nice video! This camera is really interesting. What camera did you use for the POV video?
Thanks mate, DJI action 2
I can't help but notice there's no setting that corresponds to the zone between 54cms and 1m. Like what setting to have it on when the subject isn't a meter away but also isn't 50cms? Prefect example is someone sitting across the table at a restaurant. It's called the 'extremely close distance' setting, but 1m is not extremely close.
Hahah yeah I’m gonna do a proper review once I’ve put a few more through it, definitely got some gripes haha. Really easy fixes tho, seems crazy how much some small things impact the whole experience and how easy it would’ve been to fix it 🤷🏼♂️
I worked in that abandoned building a few years ago for a few months. Carpet tiles, suspended ceiling, fluorescent lights, the usually fair.
Yeah I love all these in-between spaces you get the further down the water you go from the city. Also love hitting the docklands side near Ron Barassi Snr Park. The rate of change and development over the past decade along either side is pretty spectacular
Be sick to see 36 dyptics. There’s the challenge! Seems like a fun way to shoot film whilst being economical.
Hahah, sounds like I’m gonna be busy 🤙
Awesome video Luce looks like you had a lot of fun with the Pentax , pictures look great. Glad you were able to resurrect your DJI. 😎👍
Thanks JD! Yeah I love it. A few minor changes would make it an absolutely incredible camera, going to do an in depth review once I’ve put a few more rolls through it 🤙
@@luciengraetz that’s cool. I’m looking forward to watching your review video.😎✌️
Absolute insanity! That window you were watching from was an elite spot, which made your coverage awesome! I had no idea this existed, so pretty cool to go behind the scenes.
Great Video! Was like looking at myself shooting since those are the same two spots I frequently visit since 2007 😂 we also share the same shooting style, lovely to see your shooting! (Great camera work!)
Haha! Thanks mate! We’ll have to bump into each other next time!
I have a mint G1 and G2 with the OEM flash, 35 mm, 45 mm and the 90 mm but I also picked up an Elan for like $10. I use this often when not shooting with either Contax (with either the EF 40 mm 2.8 or 50 mm 1.8). It's quite plasticky but I'm amazed at the photos this thing takes. Not as fun as my Contax G models but it's a reliable film alternative that takes great pics.
Exactly 🤝
Killer video! Had no idea about this event. Such a cool thing they are still doing it. Crazy and all but still it’s nice they kept it. The light looked so nice as well, very warm, bouncing around the dirt and the buildings, alternating between the shadowy parts. On a side note PETA and the rest should probably focus on say, the chickens first, before attacking a bunch of Italians keeping tradition or a tiny % of population eating foie gras.
Amen! Thanks brother. Yeah the light there is incredible and the backdrops, it’s like being on a film set everywhere you go 🤌🌞🤌
That's hectic dude, I have mixed feelings about the event... but imagine the bangers 😅 Great video!
Thanks man! Yeah same, even the edit was tough 😮💨
Great video dude! 🎉
Thank you mate! Now we can focus on our dancing/MTV music video era 👯♂️
Hi Lucien! 😎Wow! Unbelievable! You covered the Siena event superbly. Wouldn’t have been able to comprehend that event without seeing your Video amazing! Thanks for sharing. ✌️
Thanks for the kind words JD! Always appreciate the support 💪
@@luciengraetz 😎✌️
Nice job! Thank you
Thanks Craig!
dont quite get why you would spend 11k Aus on a 60 MP camera but then use it at medium DNG. Am I missing something ?
I actually found there was a slight boost in dynamic range in medium over large, and I used to edit everything on a laptop, but now I have a NAS server so I shoot large
Thanks for the tips, just got the Q3 will give them a go! Love the Jesse Marlow print!
Thanks mate! Happy shooting! My friends and family chipped in the get the Jesse print for my 30th. It’s edition 9 of 10 and the tenth one got snapped up by the NGV! (National Gallery of Victoria if you’re not from Aus). Very lucky to have it 🥰
@@luciengraetz what an amazing gift!! I’ll have to drop some hints with my family about Trent Parke 🤣
@@devlincook5741 hahah good idea!
Are you really using S-mode?
Sure am!
Used your recommended settings for street work with the Q3 and I am super impressed and grateful for the results. I used a Q exclusively for nearly 4 years of shooting (have been a photographer for over 55 years) and it was my fist Leica. Lot's of impressive performance but terrible autofocus particularly when so much better tech was available for rent even from Leica's digital partner, Panasonic. The Q3 is miles better than the Q in may ways. Had high expectations for autofocus improvements but with the settings I was using before your suggestions I was seeing at best a 20% improvement. I do a lot of shooting from the hip. The settings you recommended are stellar. Thank you so much.
Legend! So glad to have been of help. Have a great day, and happy Q3ing in the future
Where does this idea come from that film cameras or old lenses are blurry and washed out? I have family photos from around 1900. They are tack sharp.
Not really about sharpness, old uncoated lenses definitely have a look to them. Especially when it comes to reflections and highlights
The first photo of the dread person is a smoking frame imo . The zoned out expression is so real. I love the lady at the bottom left edge peaking in and the one in the back right kind of entering the frame. It feels very balanced and real. Those are my favourite kind of street photos, far more than any juxtapositions or anything!
Thanks for the kind words mate! Greatly appreciated 💪
Great video!👍🏻😄 video with a Gopro?
DJI Action 2 🤝
Great video! GoPro on your chest?
DJI action 2 🤝
For street, I set f8 @ 1/250; auto ISO with focus set to 2 meters. Drive mode is single shot. LCD off of course.
Nice 👌
I don't know why so many people call this the perfect street camera. I miss shots all the time because of slow response after auto power off. If I disable auto power off then the battery life is total shit. Never miss a shot with Contax T2/G2
Yeah fair, but I don’t seem to have this problem. I do have a spare battery tho. I keep the camera on then just press the shutter as soon as I see an image occurring to make sure the camera’s on. I find two batteries will last me a whole day of pretty rigorous shooting, and coming from shooting film just carrying one little extra battery doesn’t bother me either. I also shot a G2 for about a decade, love that camera but it’s nowhere near as fast as a Q3. Completely different ball park
I would rather have a clean master image and add a fake glimmer glass look in post (if possible)
Yeah not really possible to mimic a filter exactly, and I prefer it this way, for me the less post processing the better! Each to their own tho. I’m in Japan right now and just shot another ep with the glimmer glass. Got a photo that I think perfectly explains why I prefer the filter over an edit. Hopefully you enjoy it when i upload 👌
Did you travel with just the Q3? I am considering one, but not sure if I could travel with just a 28mm. I know you can crop with this sensor, but so can my A7rv.
I shoot film too and have long focal lengths on my film camera but the Q3 is generally a pretty good everyday carry for travel
Thanks for the feedback.
Isn’t it a bit off to surreptitiously take photos of people, where you don’t dare look them in the eye and be honest about what you’re doing?
Nope! And who said I never look people in the eyes? I engage when I want/need to. 99% of people would prefer you’re invisible anyway, and it gets better results, the aim is to capture candid moments without bruising the scene. When I do a street portraiture I’ll talk to the person. Street is completely different tho. Study Vivian Maier or any historically significant street photographer. Enjoy your day.
I honestly can’t fathom why anyone searching for and or just interested in street photography or Leica would make such a comment. I hate internet jargon such as Trolling but here is a clear reason such terms exist. Keep it up Lucien. I admire the restraint and good manners it took to leave your reply. Cheers!
@@mjcatto thanks MJ! Greatly appreciated 🤝
What's point of Vivid setting using dng only. I thought that is for jpg output
I found it helps give me a slightly better idea of what I’m capturing as opposed to looking at a flat dng on the lcd when I’m out in the sun rushing around
Good video! ❤❤❤
Thanks mate
Do you use Sf20?
Nah, I only have the LightPix
Ты прикольный чувак)
Thank you 😎
Very wide lens, a huge distortion
🤙
Hi Lucien! I have a little question about your shooting style on Leica Q3 Is that DNG with postprocessing in Adobe LR? Or JPEGs directly from camera? The resultat is incredible! I saw your video about settings on Q3, but not understand - VIVID color profile is working only with JPEGs, no? Beforehand thanks for answer and wish u a good day
Exactly, dng into Lightroom, and yes you can shoot raw with vivid in camera and change back in LR if you wish. Thanks for the lovely comment, have a great day too!
Turn off EVF and LCD, set focus to manual and set the lens to 10ft. Set aperture to f8. Shoot everything that comes to within 8ft of you and it will be in focus. If you know the lens' field of view well, you will know roughly what is in the frame.
Yeah I’ve been doing this! One of the reasons I bought the camera was to begin playing around with range focussing. It’s good fun 🤝
There are no 10ft on my Q3.. do you mean 6 or infinity?
@@meditationdaily1129 you can stand roughly 10ft away from an object, focus on that, and leave the lens set that way. You can set it anywhere you like, really.
These are really the most primitive tips I have ever heard, I recommend you use one cell phone rather and you can save a lot of money or buy several cell phones. Please do not take photos with the Q3, this is pearls where swine are cast.
Bahahahahaha all bow down before the keeper of the gate! WE’RE NOT WORTHYY!!! Go fuck yaself Klaud 😂
Could I ask what are your camera settings and what power do you set the flash to
Honestly couldn’t tell you, it’s digi tho so just play around with the flash strength and see what you like. The lower the shutter speed the more motion/light blur you’ll get. Happy flashing!
Love your photos and your work with the Leica. What is your setup for the video? Equipment? Chest attached? Thanks!
Hey! Apologies, I’ve been on holiday. I use a DJI Action 2 👌
Lucien. Do you see any problem w magenta cast? Do your pics get post processed?
Hi! Apologies I’ve been away on holiday. I’ve never had any problems with it, I do a quick bash through Lightroom that’s all 🤝
thx for sharing. what Af method are you using? and do you use single or continuous Af? thx
My video before this one is all about my settings 🤝
thx!
Love the dog. Nice street photography
Thanks mate!
Nice video, good commentary! Subbed
Thanks Dominic! 🤝
I love the way you capture light. Your pictures are beautiful, thanks for sharing this video. 😎✌️😮
Appreciate it JD, very nice of you to say 🤝
@lucien - Great Vid. I'm taking my Q3 to Tokyo in a few weeks... Could you share your shutter speed and focus approach doing street? Zone or auto..? Thanks.
I did a whole video on my settings 🤝
I found it!! Outstanding. And thank you.
Happy to help, have fun in Tokyo!
