  • A wise man once said, a good photographer can make great images in their backyard. Today I test that ideology and see whether I'm using good scenery as a photographic crutch to make up for a lack of experimentation and photographic skill.

    I accidentally discovered your channel yesterday and just watched one video after another. Today I've signed in to my account to subscribe and to say that the quality of the whole process/production is so ridiculously good in your videos! Alongside with the ideas that are interesting to listen to.
    And insta! Such a cool landscape photography!
    Wish you to build a strong community of like-minded people :) I'll stick around till you find your audience. Don't give up!
    Btw, if you'll ever be in Moscow, will be happy to show you around :)

    I love this test and this premise. I think it expands to life as well. Like learning to enjoy yourself and go on vacation in your own backyard (literal, city, region).

    Wow what a great vid. Loved the idea and the execution. The idea almost reminds me of some buddhist principles - finding beauty in the mundane. And the photos came out nicely. You seem to be in better spirits too. It's inspiring me to pick up my camera again, thanks!

    Thank you for making these videos. I think you just helped me find a passion that's been in the back of my head. In just a couple videos I've seen of yours I already can see your perspective is something I kinda lost when I was younger. Rectangles are the only way to see the world

    What would you consider to be the best camera for learning photography, with a small budget, like new price maximum 500/600 euro's? 😊

    • @Codacolor
      @Codacolor  Před 2 lety +1

      For digital, I'm a fan of anything in the Sony A6000 series. I've had my A6300 for over 5 years and it's still performing flawlessly. If you're thinking film, I would say pretty much any manual SLR (Canon AE1, Pentax K1000, etc), though I can't recommend any of those from experience. The EOS 3 is the one I used in this video and it's one of my favorite cameras of all time. Either way, film or digital, you can definitely afford a great camera and a lens with that budget.
      Whichever you chose, I would also pick up a copy of Brian Petersen's book Understanding Exposure. It's a quick easy read that's full of photos and describes the concept of the exposure triangle, which is fundamental knowledge for any photographer. Hope this helps!

    A true great Photographer would see beauty even in your back yard, if you look at it with a different mind set Cody, I myself sometimes when I go out side my place early in the morning i see beauty which I would have missed, same goes late at night nature has a way of showing us the beauty of our world even in our back yard my friend, anyway till next time, like always say ( live free or die trying ) ;)
