Canon CPS | Don McCullin Feature - Seeking the Light

Don McCullin is essentially what the British refer to as 'old school' -- both in manners (impeccable), demeanour, charm and career outlook - what if Canon CPN could document Don McCullin's journey into shooting with digital cameras, in this case the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
See the complete story of one of the world's greatest living photographers. CPN has recently been highly privileged to become involved in a major film project with this giant of photography.

Great short film. Great marketing for Canon. Great to see to Don out and about. His (digitised) shots looked great (regardless of the technology, he has a great photographers eye)... and great to see Jeff... I last saw him personally in 2012/13 at the Photography show at the NEC, doing a talk on the perils of wedding photography. It was so great, I stayed way longer and nearly missed my 150 mile ride home. Worth it though. Great indeed !

25:32 WOW, that quote hit hard, this old dude is so damn self-aware and prophetic, no amount of my instinctual inner cynicisms could ever even slightly obscure or refute the wisdom this man just shared with me, real wisdom of the most rare and pure form that I can see and touch and make use of in my life... I've never heard of Don McCullin, not before this video, and I dunno why the hell youtube put this in my feed, but I am grateful that they did

[@MadderMel]

He is an amazing man isn't he ?

[@Micantropo78]

Great human being and one of the greatest photographer of 20th century.

What I wouldn't give to have 10mins on a shoot with Sir Don McCullin. What a remarkable person. Thanks Cannon,

[@Rambleswithmycameraonyoutube]

A truly remarkable man on so many levels

[@beaucorr2561]

[@tafowen]

[@Carl-vq6ww]

Love Don mccullin, seems very genuine, the Imagine documentary was incredible.

[@MadderMel]

Should be Sir Don McCullin !

[@GeorgesThoughts]

We often underestimate what we have thanks to technology. Until someone shows you how such a simple thing as auto focus can be so much relief.

[@DavidComdico]

What a gentleman and fine photographer.

[@MikeKlarich]

Spectacular, thanks for sharing that! Can't help but be a fan of Don's after that. Wonderful person.

[@rclutsam2112]

Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed that!

[@johnparr5879]

I fully agree with Don McCullin, the chosen picture, has to be fully complete. For some to use other software programs that then, alter that chosen image, in some ways is not the... clarity... of image that I personally would choose. For to have your individual senses in.. . *That fast flowing moment*.. You have to be... Right there too... *

[@hogg1izmtv140]

You can tell he loves shooting more than his own selfish preferences. Will to try new technology for the sake of a picture says alot. I love people who love

[@carmenfissenden2530]

My choice of lenses are 60, 90 mm and 28 . I keep the 60 on the camera for most walkabout and avoid the kit zoom . Nice shots . I too took a while shifting away from film to digital and have no interest leaving it now that I have found it.

[@giloubigmogwai]

He's so right about people checking every shot..

[@L.Spencer]

Yet in the other video I just watched of him shooting in Calcutta, he's checking every shot. lol

[@margaretmoore7034]

At 06:30 Don has a bit of a rant about photographers " chimping " .. Yet I watched his documentary when he's in Kolkata and I caught him chimping the screen after at least 6 different shots. So much for this discipline that he wont give up, he guaranteed .. hmmm.

[@1986wake1986]

the image at 22:09 WOW!!!!!!

[@raiyanrafid9241]

thats funny. someone is teaching Don McCullin.

[@tjmanou6422]

the world this man has seen ;(

[@ItsTheBungle]

Why is this in 480P ??

[@gohumberto]

When you start thinking that you are a good photographer ...........it's time to watch a Don McCullin documentary, or look at his books. It re-calibrates your opinion of yourself.

[@simonsharp9162]

This is nonsense. Don still shoots medium film for his landscape work.

[@nihilistichris8609]

Funny seeing this comment in 2021, how wrong u were.
