How to Photograph Strangers | Intro to Shooting Wildlife | Affordable X-Pan | Challenge Day 6

- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- In this episode of Photography Online, we start our penultimate day of our challenge to photograph all 15 UK national parks in only 1 week. Today we are in the South Downs and the New Forest, but Marcus spices up the journey with the help of the world's hottest chilli. We then get some lessons in how to get started in wildlife photography - looking at the best settings and technique to ensure you get great results right from the start. James is then pounding the streets of Havana with his camera, looking for strangers to photograph. If you're too shy to approach people in the street, then this is a must watch to improve your street photography. Then finally Marcus shows us how to get Hasselblad X-pan results without having to actually buy the camera. The X-Pan is one of the most sought after film cameras, which makes it one of the most expensive, but as we will see, you can get the same results (possibly better) from a quick and simple hack.

Photography Online is the Top Gear for Photographers!😂 love the show
Thanks for having us along on your journey, team! 🙌🏼
Another fantastic episode. Tnx for all the great work to produce these interesting segments each month. Always great to see the passion coming through in each of these. Especially enjoyed photographing strangers as that is always very intimidating. Keep up the wonderful work.
Great program as always, loved the wildlife shots Ruth, nice one.
'Swagger' James. 'Swag' is what's carried off by a burglar!🤣. Seriously, great segment and a fabulous show as always team.
Great start to your wildlife journey Ruth
Great show, great tipps, great Storys....and great Photos!! As Always love the "Analogue Section"......thank you all!!
Great show, loved the segment from James. The images were amazing
Another great video everyone.
Loved the carolina reaper stunt Marcus.
James's face was a picture and Harry was crying.
Well James got you back Marcus with the chair scene lol.
I thought you were very close to the edge of the cliff Ruth to get your shots.
I thought it was a bit of a risk
You certainly captured some really nice image's when you went out on your own Ruth..
Marcus i think you are the master when it comes to film photography.
Your image's are absolutely stunning.
Look forward to the next show.
@@timrosenburgh8597 thanks as always Tim. More to come.
As Karl Pilkimgton once said.. I thought that wasabi was a mushy pea... Harry and Ruth dangling camera over cliff without strap made me nervous 😂
Great video! I really enjoyed the segment on photographing strangers! Thanks for taking me along!
James: Loved the street portraits! Nicely done.
great show loved the street photography piece.. well done James.. also the wildlife tips and reminders of the basics..
Great show as always - really enjoying the National Park series
Loved the portraits. The light, colours and subjects were all fantastic.
Brilliant Ruth.
Loved the show as ever. Great work on the Bird images Ruth - not sure I could have sat that close to the edge! Brilliant portraiture James - I need to try out the tips given, thanks
Geez, that did not seem like an hour! Thanks to all off you for entertaining so many of us...well done on the wildlife sound mixing, very pleasing 🎉 The sprocket holes definitely add something to an image 👏👏
Fantastic segment from Cuba beautiful pictures
Wonderful show as always! The wildlife portion of the show is really interesting to me. Ruth's shots with the 5D iv are so great. I love the look and feel of the images from it. I would also love to do some of that street photography like that. I don't mean to take away from the challenge in anyway. Thanks so much for everything!
Great show.
Well done everyone.
Great content in this latest episode. The chili pepper gag was hilarious, poor Harry and James. The wildlife feature was interesting and it was good that Harry covered a bit about fieldcraft and the welfare of the subject - that is so important in wildlife photography. Re the two Silver Birch images, definitely the first version, the sky was much more interesting.
An amazing show as always, congratulations.
@@alanplatt888 thanks Alan. As always, we appreciate your continued support.
Loved the whole show and particularly the special feature with James. Great tips about how to get great shots!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great show once again.
Thanks
Brilliant wildlife section, but so close to the edge 😮
Great show. Loved the wildlife section and Ruth’s shots were superb. Just a bit nervous at you sitting on the cliff edge. Please be careful. Maybe it looked worse than it was. 😲😲😲😲😲
Those sprocket holes are lovely 🤩
They are!
I would never sit or stand on a cliff edge with out a camera strap around my neck or wist in case I loose my footing, great video as always.
You know what's frightening? That sushi looks JUST LIKE what we have here in the States!
Excellent video
@@NikCan66 welcome back!
Another excellent episode guys. I definitely think taking time out to record was a great decision. If I ever have some spare cash I’ll join for one of your wildlife photography workshops.
Keep up the good work 👍👍📸📸
@@adampakenhamwildlifenature - cheers. Thanks for watching
James!!! More time in Cuba Port Favor!
5:21 I gotta admit I have never seen anyone use a gimbal mount like that before! 😂
My fave Sunday of the month! Great show as always! What are the thoughts on using auto ISO for birding?
You don’t really want to use auto ISO as you’re then not in control of the exposure. It’s better to work in full manual mode if practical (which is usually the case).
Many Cubans like conversations with strangers and they are very open about the political and economic situation.
A car buff would want a picture of the pre-revolution Dodge with the contemporary Dodge Ram symbol in the grill.
Thy caption in the lower left sounds like a training video for hit men...
OMG, sitting at home on my couch, I still get the Willie’s when I see someone sitting on the edge of a cliff. Please be careful! I’ve seen too many videos lately of cliff edges falling off into the ocean.
What's that 20:30 silver thing visible whole time in street photography segment ? Some kind of magnification glass ?
& Thanks for another great episode !
@@miharix it’s a magnification loupe. James prefers to use that instead of zooming in on the image,
Noooooooo! I can see why I'm not keen on seabird photography, watching Ruth and Harry perched on those cliffs gave me the heeebe grebes, I'd be to worried about losing my camera, let alone the thought of joining the birds in the sea, great feature though and some superb results, but not for me!
Love the Cuban pics! Great colours and contrasts. How much post editing would you likely do? Little or a lot? Thanks.
Very little on this kind of subject. Literally 10” on each shot to adjust contrast
@@PhotographyOnline thought that might be the case, great shots!
Great wildlife feature from Harry. Do you always use Manual exposure? If so, how do you it with something like birds in flight, where the light can change very quickly?
Do you always expose for the subject and ignore the background? Hope this makes sense! 😊
@@paulrandall8 you would usually always aim to use manual exposure unless you had your subject moving erratically in and out of different light. This is rarely the case though, so manual is usually easier.
@@PhotographyOnline many thanks 🙏
Will do any more features on this wildlife subject in the future, maybe giving advise on how to get the correct exposure?
Cuba is stunning. Would love to join a photography tour there. Just wish James would stop calling senior women, “old ladies”
What's the ISO details on street photos? They are great contrast in seemingly dark areas!
@@vijayantsharma9622 they were shot between 100-400, depending on the scene. Remember that the aperture is typically around f/2, so you don’t need very high ISO settings.
Good Comunication skills James ?? How about learning a bit of Spanish for Latin America or French for Africa ,,, that has got to be lesson one
It’s possible to communicate without any local language knowledge, but it helps to know the basics for sure.
@22:14 : " a noisy and sharp image is better than an unsharp clean image".... wow..I have always been afraid of the noise in the images and did not bump up the iso and there by did not go beyond 1/400.. after what he said, after all these years, I am thinking why I didn't I try ?
was thinking Skye looks different 🤣
Love this but … the background music is distracting
@@outtathyme5679 the music is what gives the features their pace and atmosphere. If it wasn’t there, you probably wouldn’t love it so much!
I shoot landscape and architecture. What happened?
@@unclefart5527 we covered landscapes in the first feature.
I thought the strangers photos were too Flicker-y. Idk why, but can someone explain?
@@door-hinge we have no idea what you mean by “Flicker-y”
Cubans are not photo shy. If you speak Spanish you do not need a guide there.
I live in the New Forest and cant believe that three photographers with everything from 35mm medium format and large format, could only come up with a tree, silver birch i believe and that was it, no ponies, no cricket match,Boltons Bench or church spire in the background, very poor.
You think they play cricket in April?! Ponies are too cliched - which is why we chose not to waste time on them. We were there to get something original, not a retake on a classic - you can’t do that in the two hours we had.
12:50. Love the channel, but my suggestion would be that if you want an opinion comparing two versions of the same shot, either put them both on the screen at once or have one immediately follow the other.
