1:26 "... the perspective has changed..." No, it hasn't. :) This is my favorite photography pet peeve. You can't change perspective without changing the position of the camera. Zooming in and out does not change the perspective, it only changes the image magnification. Equivalent ways to express what zooming does: it changes the crop; it changes the angle of view. That's also why you cannot "zoom with your feet". Ansel Adams explains it well in his books. I think going into some more detail on perspective versus zooming and differentiating precisely between the two is worth another video. As Ansel Adams said (paraphrased): Most importantly, you have to make a decision where to stand (=perspective) - and that's not a decision primarily based on focal length. Focal length is a secondary decision as in what to include or exclude for a given perspective.

yes you are completely correct of course, badly worded, ive noticed ive done this before in a video, im not sure what it is about being in front of camera that causes this. But yes completely correct.

@@MartinCastein Do a video! :) I think lots of people will benefit from this being explained by you. And yes, a slip of tongue quickly leads this situation, happens to the best of us! That's why it's my favorite photography pet peeve. :)

@thedarkslide, if you only zoomed from an exact spot and changed nothing else, then you are technically correct. It would be very rare that you don't re-frame the shot after zooming, however slight, (which he did in the video), which changes the perspective, (technically).

Excellent vlog. Finally a vlogger who approaches the landscape photography differently. One who explains their compositions/perspective etc. Please go on this way. Compliments . 👍👍👍

Thoughts on taking 24-120 f4G to a dusty/wet environment? Thinking of using it for hiking trips and landscape stuff but sometimes it gets pretty dusty. Not sure if the zoom mechanism will suck dust into the camera.

Only just come back to Canon and waiting for my used D6 to arrive. Found your Chanel a week or so ago and you are truly inspiring. I’ve kept my Fuji XH1 which a great crop sensor camera which I love. Reviewing my photos taken back in 2018 when I had a 5d classic, the colours just have a certain quality that’s hard to describe yet touch somewhere inside me which I hope my 6D will give. It was your review of the 6D Martin which made my choice so easy and a huge thank you for that.

Happy new year Martin. Wish you all the very best this year. That shot of the rear of the boat, around the 8:15 mark is, by far, the best shot for me. I love that look. I would even have considered dropping the exposure a tad more to sink the dark shadow of the rear of the boat. Thanks for all.

I will make 1 comment before I watch the video ,i have cameras from Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm, Pentax and Nikon with prime and zoom lenses, when it comes to glass you can get good or poor results from any lens no matter what you are using regardless of sensor size and manufacture.

Hi Martin, really enjoying you KZbin videos. Im very, very new to photography, i have a nikon d7500d with a kit lens. Would like to do landscape photography is this lens ok or which one would you recommend? Ps, dont want to spend silly money, i know the more you spend the better the product. Thanks for any input. 10:05.

@MartinCastein 7 ай бұрын

Start with what you have, the camera is good, lens is ok I wouldn’t change until you’ve done some landscapes for a bit

@MartinCastein 7 ай бұрын

i think its fine for landscapes if you are starting out, just go for it, worry less about gear for now and enjoy photography.

Hi Martin. I'm really enjoying your KZbin channel. Just a thought. As your obviously a great communicator, and if you didn't know that, well you do now. Have you thought about converting some, if not all of your KZbin content into podcasts? It's a great way of spreading your brand to a much wider audience and it doesn't have to a super polished show. Some of the podcasts I've checked out regarding photography on Spotify are nowhere near as informative or as professional as your content is. Anyway keep up the good work. 👍

@MartinCastein 8 ай бұрын

thank you, i havent really thought about that, i will look into it, i wouldnt really know where to start but i will look into this, thanks for the idea!!!

@@MartinCastein I think your be very pleasantly surprised at the kind of traction your kind of brand delivery will get. So many people want to listen to quality advice and professionals stories in easily accessible formats like podcasts, because you can pick and choose when and how you listen. 👍

I put together a cheap used kit. Ef 17-40mm f/4L ($200), Ef 24-105mm f/4L ($250), and a Ef 100-300mm f/5.6L ($150). So a bit less than $650 all in with tax. I bought them all from KEH and was delighted with what they sent. Ebay isn't as good of a source because sellers don't offer warranties. KEH, MPB, and Used Photo Pro all offer warranties which gives me piece of mind that I won't end up with a costly paperweight.

This was very informative! I like how you demonstrated many different compositions, and different focal lengths on the same subject. Usually I take one picture and move on. Good tip about the WB at the end.

Great video and happy new year. Interesting what you’re saying about zooming and how it changes the depth of the image. Another good example is moving backward while slowly zooming to get the exact same image (all the subjects still in the frame) but everything looks on a totally different scale , like you were saying mountains in background looking much larger etc . Looks like a stunning place that 👍

I use the same principles for concert photography. 90mm to capture one individual on stage and 24mm to capture the entire band. At the small venue, where I do my concert photography, I can get really close to the side of the stage. So using 24mm, I can have the band member located closest to me take up almost half of my frame with the rest of band spread out in the other half of the frame for some interesting shots.

I personally love mid range zooms the most, ultrawide has its place but also way over used, I dont get as many opportunities with my longer telephoto though. Great photo!

@jaspercaelan4998 9 ай бұрын

I just see focal length as a way to crop out the part of the image I want so the main issue is figuring out where to stand, height of the tripod etc.. works a bit different with ultra wides but I've never really found a use for them in landscapes.
