This app only really works on flat terrain, if you are in a mountainous region with hundreds of meters difference in altitude between you and your subject, this won't work at all. I use Planit Pro, it's more complex to use but has 3D terrain map, VR view and custom building placement.

years before this is the way we used to click HDR pics..

Here full frame means the entire sensor, irrespective of sensor size.

Looks very interesting. I have their 12mm f2.8. Would you recommend getting the 10mm in this case?

HORIBLE PHOTO QUALITY :(

Holy mother of god, I love you! You explained it so well that even total beginner can understand it 🙂

wowwwwwww

Why you didn’t show issyik kul in this video.?

Fist of all, I LOVE your images. I follow you on Flickr and instagram. Second, as a hobbyist who is supposed to save money for a mortgage, I made the mistake of looking at all the new mirrorless Nikons coming out (I have a z6ii). But then I listened to you talk about things like focus stacking, which I never learned to do, and I think I need to learn more before I spend more! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Hello Albert, have you tried the app Alpha Focus Bracketing to avoid Sony limitations?

Nice watch 👍

After having seen those nice landscape shots, the definite question would be: Wouldn't have you been able to get all those shots with GH2 and kit lens... Easy to answer: Landscape / tripod / MF / time to compose. At this point the best and newest AF is just useless. For anyone in action photography that's another story and the 9 line is the way to go. I personally really dislike how Sony had artificially segmented the market when they had gone FF E-mount. Since years I have stopped checking out gear/tools as I have come to the conclusion that is not what matters to get to my final craft.

Goed verhaal..... heel herkenbaar en zo mooi dat je ook aangeeft dat fotografie een reis is, waarin je e.e.a leert door vallen en op te staan en dat al die nieuwe gear het anno nu makkelijker maakt 🙂. Met plezier gekeken en geluisterd! TOP!

This is one of the best practical tutorials I have seen. Thanks so much for all this valuable information and how to do it. I am going to follow every step.

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience on your long journey.

By and large, I don't think most of "us" buy what we need, we (me) tend to get what we (I) want. I mean do we (I) need to get a new iPhone each year (no), but I do. And the manufacturers know it and that's why they do these new product releases so frequently 😅😅

Not for the greater photos, no. But for the easier photos and faster processes, yes.

I was wondering about this. Once rented a gmaster 24-70mm for my a7iii. Couldn't believe how great that lens was. Sharp, perfect, but heavy. So with the GM2 i thought this was the lens for me. But in all honesty im having trouble with this lens. Almost all shot are out of focus. Even on automatic im having trouble getting sharp pictures when people move just a little bit. The only way i get sharp images with the a7iii and 24-70mm gm2 is when i set the shutterspeed at 250. So is this because of my older body? Albert do you know? Didt had this issue with the 24-70mm gm1. Thank you

Despite having newer better bodies, I still shoot my Sony a7ii with the cheap 50mm f1.8 a lot! I like the combo and the images it produces.😊

Well put together video mate. Was nice to hear about your journey from back in the days till date. Had no idea you were in Hong Kong, lovely city.

Worth remembering that great, iconic images were made with much more primitive equipment than is available today. For example, I use Canon gear and still use my old 6D from time to time and have to say I'm still very happy with the quality it produces...almost on a par with my 5Div. It's more about experience and vision than the gear. Great video anyway. Cheers

Excellent! Thank you.

Do we need the newest gear? No. Do some of us want the latest gear? Yes. I always say that my gear (regardless of the type of gear) just has to be good enough for me.

Hey Albert, It's great to see you back with a new video. Your photos and videos are always very inspiring. This video was excellent, covering many important topics with a fantastic summary. Your final thoughts and recommendations really hit the mark. I also found the part about vintage lenses very interesting. Personally, I am a big fan of vintage lenses. Of course, I prefer professional lenses for travel and crucial shots, but the old ones often have a lot to offer. As a fan of old things, these lenses often have a certain soul for me. It's always a good challenge to work with the unique characteristics of these old lenses during a photo walk, such as the bokeh, color, and so on. Sometimes it helps to see subjects in a completely different way and it really sharpens your skills. I wish you and your family all the best! Greetings from Germany, Martin

Great video, thank you! I was just discussing the state of our gear with a friend yesterday. We both shoot on the A7Rii and are still very happy with the image quality. I would love to upgrade to get new features and better battery life, but that will have to wait until that big pay raise! I also love shooting Tamron lenses. Hard to beat for the price.

Hi Albert the new coffee table book about the Netherlands, super excited about that, in English, yes? ❤

Clueless

Very good video. Your photos turned out very pretty. It seems like you don't need the Sony 90mm macro with the 70 200 g2 lens. A question... If you use the crop factor of your DX camera... do you lose resolution, that is, do the megapixels go down? And another question... If you use your camera's DX crop factor for macro photography...can you focus at the same distance as you do with the full FX sensor, or do you have to zoom out? We look forward to your kind and honest response.

Great shots. Amazing landscapes.

Focus stacking for A1???? Why not? Nice video.

Great info 👍🏻

Hi Albert, i see they have a manual focus version of the lens too with 14 aperture blades. Does that improve or change the image quality in any way ?

Beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing

Excellent video. Love the animal shots.

Your course looks exactly what i have been searching for!

Most beautiful timelapse I have ever seen! Absolutely breathtaking. Even better than one I saw about a boat ride from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. If you guys haven't seen that one then search youtube for 'Rotterdam Amsterdam Timelapse'. Mr Albert Dros you are one gifted human being. PS We need REACTION videos to this timeplase.

I don't know if you will reply this question or not but here is my problem with my benq monitor SW271c mine have lack of contrast even after calibrate it. For example on my benq monitor when I view a photo and compared to my iphone with the same photo. On Benq everything looks great but after sending it to my iphone with 50% brightness, the shadow is darker siginificantly and more contrast. could you show me parameter on calibrating it using xrite and benq software? Thanks in advance for the reply Albert

Great information. For the manual panoramas, do you rotate the drone a couple degrees between exposures or move the drone 50 meters or so without changing the camera angle? I would think that there is an element of distortion introduced by the former method and an element of inaccuracy by the latter, but the example photos look great.

Olympus (em system) do this focus stacking more easily and do AUTOMATICALLY in body the assembling process and give you directly the result without the need of Photoshop ! If you are not satisfied there is the olympus free software enabling to do a select assembling

How quality compare with GM1 and G2 ?

Музыка как называется?

❤❤

Very Helpful !!

Finally I learned how to do it not only in theory but in practice! Thank you! Quite informative and with no blah-blah-blah.

Happy to find out about your channel here. I've always liked your photos on other platforms, so now I can learn more about your process here!

I expect that I can use the the paper color sync from benq. So why explaining it in Lightroom. I am always a little annoyed presuming every photographer uses Adobe.

Was searching for 70 200 f4 G II review, but watched the whole 28 mins video of beautiful photos.

There is no difference in image quality from 12 to 48 mp on these drones.

Can you go over manual focus. I’m having a hard time getting focus to infinity nailed on this lens. It’s a great lens. I do architectural photography and real estate photography and infinity is not working like it did on my canon
