My God... I've only just discovered this channel a few days ago. I CANNOT begin to explain how these conversations are helping me. Every episode is just DRIPPING with common sense. "THANK YOU" Marc and Daniel for letting us listen into these incredible conversations.
🙏🙏
I finally don’t want a new camera anymore. Took me a while, but my current camera is it. I’ve learned it. I can operate it without looking at it ( the basic settings I change or set often) and now I’m about to settle at one focal length. Just sent two lenses in to trade for it. I actually have bad anxiety about my camera malfunctioning because it’s been discontinued and you can only buy it used now. I seriously don’t want to use anything else!
One of my greatest joys of photography is is discovering a new way to make one camera, one lens work. Creating something where there was nothing.
🙌
"Light, timing, and composition is all that matters". One would think more of us (photographers) would understand that, but we don't. I so love these conversations with Dan. He is so spot on with his observations. I humbly admit I am a gear fanatic but these talks you two put on have inspired me to stick with one focal length for personal work. And, not surprisingly, I love the experience. It has forced me to think more about a consistent body of work, for my personal work. Please keep doing these!!
Great to hear we moved you from gear to your work!
I’m unable to go live with you but I thoroughly enjoy the words of wisdom you chaps give out.
I thought you would like to know that during the lockdown period we endured in Melbourne and when we were unable to move more than 5 kilometers from home I photographed what was transpiring around me. Over 9 months I took pictures of people learning to live one and a half Meters from each other, eating takeaways, wearing masks and the range of designs, conducting workouts in the park etc etc. When in November our Premier announced we had beaten the virus (or so we believed) I produced a 32 page book of what I had taken. It was so appreciated by several shops that they bought copies from me. Being in lockdown taught me to really look at what people do and observe mood changes from periods of despondency to elation and joy at being able to meet together again and appreciate each other.
Again thank you for inspiring me.

Well done Roy!
I used to be “that photographer;” two Canon DSLRS around my neck, heavy backpack weighed down with tons of gear which would rarely be taken out of my bag, etc. Then I decided last year it was time to consolidate. Traded in those DSLRS, picked up the R5, and now stick with my RF 100mm f/2.8L on the single camera for 98% of what I’m shooting. What a relief! And my work is indeed better for it following this decision 😎.
Yeah--the R5 isn’t the lightest Mirrorless out there, as we all know. But one camera/one lens is the way to go! Everything else pretty much stays home-unless I know for sure there’s a need for a different lens or “look” I’m trying to capture.
So I went to Cologne last week - noticing on the train that I "forgot" a 2nd lens. 3 hours to get there, 3 hours back - only with my beloved Fuji X-T1 and the 23mm 1.4 in my bag. The other day back home, watching the results, I felt pretty happy about one of the best photography trips during the last months.

Congratulations to 10 M viewers AYP team. You guys are the best and AYP is my photography school.
Thanks so much and glad to hear. Please help us spread the word to others in your country 🙏
A great conversation.
I started photography in 1998 with a F2 and a 50mm S-Auto 1:1.4 I bought as a “kit”. I used this setup for years because I had no intention and the money to “upgrade”. Now I have tons of lenses in my collection which not really make any difference. For travel and street photography my Leica M8 with the 21mm Super-Angulon or the M9 with the 50 Cron is all I need to shoot for years. Nature, macro and landscape stuff is another thing where other focal lengths and also zooms come in very handy but as you said the main things are lighting, composition, timing and lots of training the rest is nonsense and just distracts.
👍
You two are such an inspiration!
thanks you always fun to have him on the show!
Would love to see a video of Dan in action photographing a scene.
👍
We have one
@@marcsilber is it available on CZcams?
There‘s a little bit in this one czcams.com/video/VWNBp55ZAlI/video.html
Few years old, though
It’s great interview. I have learn a lot from you gentlemen. Thanks
🙏
Amazing video!!!
Glad you liked it!!
Greetings from 🇵🇰 Pakistan. Great episode. Brilliant discussion. So much to learn. Dan Milner, you rock man.
🙌
Dan the Man in the Van… ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

I really love this kind of videos, where you talk about Photography and not about megapixels. When I started with photography I was a gear addict, I had various lenses, filters ecc. I can't say it hasn't been helpulf, in that time I learned focal lenghts, how to achieve an effect and so on. Now I'm using 90% a X100V with fix lens, and I'm thinking to sell my Nikon Z6.
You say that light, timing and composition is the key. I'm ok with light and composition, but I think timing is more important for some kind of photgraphy like documentary or street photography. I'm thinking about Eggleston (cars, fast foods...), in his photography I can find light and composition, but not timing like in Martin Parr’s. Did I get "wrong" the timing concept?
Thank you
timing is a key element and can be considered a part of composition as in the "Decisive Moment"
I currently only own 2 lenses, a Zoom and a 27mm prime. The prime is for taking pictures, the zoom is doing a great job collecting dust. Should have done this years ago!
👍
Tonight is chess night and I am gonna use my new 35mm macro lens. This is gonna be my new prime everyday lens 👍👍👍🤓.
Nice 👍
You gave me some very serious thoughts for the weekend! Anyway, I continue photographing old barns, before they're all gone. The snowy winter of 2018 a lot of them collapsed, and one winter more like that one, the rest might be gone. Too I'll photograph the static ash trees before their gone too, because of the new beetle that is likely to kill them all. And remember, we have no culture left, like in the Mid West or Latin America.
Glad you have food for your weekend photographing!
you need to just do it to make the great mistakes that you learn from ..... 3o years of film plus 20 years of digital and i will never stop pushing the envelopes of craft. i bring what my mind tells me to bring to the work!
Those rare moments when you see Dan in colour... hehe
Find the gear that works for you and run with it!
Great video 100% just get out there and do the work. Constantly missing t hat moment, which is why you have to get out there 24/7 if you can and just shoot, you need that just to get volume to edit
👍
Hey great video as usual! Would you be able to tell me the name of the photographer you mentioned that used toy cameras in war zones? Thanks!!
here you go! czcams.com/video/c_pkDVyVeL0/video.html
For the double exposures Dan was talking about, why not shoot them all as single images and then do the blending in post?
Because the first image is still visible in the viewfinder while composing the second shot, allowing you to see how the double exposure in camera.
@@stegra Tnx for the info, still a pretty ‘heavy tax’ to pay, as he said had to miss some photos so I suppose a second body/lens combo identical to his first may have been nice to have along.
Yes if you need it.
Doing it in post - not Dan’s style
What does "X-T2 and a fifty" mean? Fujifilm X-T2 and then what?
Back in the day, people needed a camera to take a photo.
Now you need your phone and that’s it.
When people see a camera, they think something is up, you’re not just the average joe, you have a camera. Somethings wrong, what’s going on.
Try it, use your iPhone for a month, no one will care,
👍
Light is always changing, even if an object remains stationary. Of course H C-B was more skilled than Ansel Adams but it takes skill to shoot light also.
I'm trying to find the interview with the war photographer using toy cameras but so far nothing. Anyone got a link?
Search Teru on our CZcams
While I am known for my fine art nude photography and not a Documentary photography I use my Canon 85mm f1.2 L series lens 85% of the time. It's become my voice.
👍
Thinking about Eugene Smith carrying his 6 Leicas with 6 different focal length lenses...🤔
To each his own. But he made it to work somehow.
He was a maniac 😂
"Talk" vs "Do" @CZcams photographers lol
👍
love your videos, Sir. I am a 47 year old man, having Leica M10-P *white* limited edition + 50mm f/1.4 Summilux since 2020 January . . . now thinking of 2nd prime like Zeiss Milvus 25mm f/1.4 or Sigma Art 28mm f/1.4 for my 2nd body - Canon 6D (purchased in 2013), to capture wide/landscape shots or street/urban scenes. Can't make up my mind if i should sell 6D & get Sony A7 mirrorless with a small Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 instead of buying 1 of those 2 huge DSLR primes, & the Sony has IBIS too which the 6D lacks.
I’d go with another lens for your Leica. My chive was a 35 shot almost everything with that one lens. Good luck
stick to that 50 f/1.4 for the next two years... you won't get all of the shots you would like to... but that doesn't change when you add another lens... after two years you might consider going tele or wider... (35, 28 or even 24). keep on shooting like there is no tomorrow!
@@marcsilber thanks
@@sascha.gregori thanks
When Dan is saying "xt2 and a 50mm" is he referring to a Fuji 50mm or a 35mm?
What is that setup Dan was showing in this video?
@@Elazarko xt2 and 35mm which is 50mm equivalent.
