EOS R Blue Hour Portrait Photoshoot with L-Series Lenses

[@balazssalfay8194]

I would definitely appreciate more EOS R based video Julia🙏🏼

[@juliatrotti]

I have a couple of other EOS R videos planned 😄

[@GutpunchLyon]

@@juliatrotti do u think is a profesional camera? I am thinking to buy eos r or 6d mark ii what do u think

[@sebastianrivera6164]

I sometimes feel like an amateur doing shoots without a flash, but I feel encouraged again watching Julia capturing these stunning photos in natural lighting.

[@juliatrotti]

If anything you could say natural light is a little trickier to work with as you don't really have control over it 🤓 but in all seriousness I have always believed that you don't need to "look" super flashy to take professional photos, there are times when flash is needed and there are times when it's not - it's all just about what style you are aiming to achieve!

[@sebastianrivera6164]

Personally, I prefer to learn how to control natural lighting to my advantage over using a flash, less equipment to carry, I guess. And I also like the natural look better. Thanks for the advice, I've learned a lot from your videos!

[@PatiNagy]

I am not even a photographer and I am here for each and every video of yours for almost a year now. Love the way you guys capture the photoshoots and the examples you provide 🙂

[@wanakoplays8874]

You find your 50 soft when wide-open, because it is. That lens was never known for its sharpness, but more for overall quality of its images.

[@juliatrotti]

Here's my other EOS R 28-70mm f2 photoshoot behind the scenes like I mentioned in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHSYc4WPa8aSetU

[@nuclear64_]

You're gonna hate me. In the video you say 28-70 f2, but this is a link to a 24-70 f2.8. Here 0:34 Sorry ;)

[@juliatrotti]

Lmao omg, I will fix that 😂I got confused with a video I'm currently editing. Here's the 28-70 video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHSYc4WPa8aSetU

[@olivierfichantfilms8614]

How could guys not enjoy watching this video?

[@thedondeluxe6941]

I use the EOS R with old L-series lenses all the time, and I'm also very impressed by the speed and accuracy of the autofocus! That EF-RF adapter is just amazing. That's odd about your 50mm. I have the same lens and mine looks sharper wide open. Maybe it needs a CLA?

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah I was happy to see that they worked like native glass even though they were adapted!! And yep, I feel like my 50 should be sharper wide open, I'm going to see if I can calibrate it

[@Francisfphoto_]

Hey! I just got an used but EXTREMELY NEW EF 85mm f1.8 for my RP.... I’ve also have a EF 24-70 f2.8 II and a EF 70-200 f2.8 IS II.... My 85 is SOOO soft, maybe is because of that? I was planning on selling it....

[@charismaticweirdo]

I love how you say "EOS R" lol

[@juliatrotti]

With my Aussie accent it’s like EOS ahh 😂

[@fashiondanielle]

Love this! Have the Eos R and this has been so helpful. Would love to see the daytime shoot with the 35! 💕

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! And yeah I would really love to try that out too 😄

[@fashiondanielle]

Julia Trotti would also love a battle of the 35mms on the Eos R! 😉 still struggling with which 35 to go for

[@Francisfphoto_]

StyledbyDani85 Tamron 35 f1.4 is INSANE

[@celesteroxette348]

Yesss! thanks for this one, loved it

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!! I have a couple more planned 😄

[@deebea6364]

Great video - it's cool to see how the EF lenses are actually performing better on the RF mount!

[@IainTAllardyce]

Been looking for a review with EF glass on the EOS R body for AGES! As someone with a fair number of EF lenses... it really helps to know how they focus with the adaptor ring!

[@christianvolkner2028]

I use the R with Zeiss Milvus lenses. The R is exceptional with manual lenses because of focus assist and peaking. You might want to try the Milvus 85, it’s a hidden gem with a unique smooth bokeh:-)

[@toni5133]

Loved this and such a great model

[@smellgoodphotography7722]

Would you recommend the EOS R over the 5D Mark IV?

[@PHILGOODOK1]

Hello and thank you for this video. Finally, which lens do you prefer for Portraits: 35mm or 50mm or 85mm ? Thank you in advance for your response. Sincerely, Philgood

[@dream3443]

Great Video! Would you consider testing the 50mm f1.2 RF to test in comparison?

[@PacoM.]

I've followed you since I started photography a few years back. I've always loved how you shoot and edit.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it 😊

[@hans-gerdschievink5190]

As always a great video. It confirms my experiences with the EOS R which I find is a great camera

[@juliatrotti]

Yep I really like this camera!! I'm looking forward to the next release with hopefully 2x card slots :)

[@DoubleE_Aviation]

Yes we wanna see everything!! Running an Eos R. makes grabbing focus so easy, i don't even have to think about it... I think Canon is soon to show us what they can really do with a mirrorless camera.

[@jaya.v.5093]

Great video! I love see you perform these shoots and the easy way you interact with your models... can you comment more on what autofocus methods you were using? Eye AF always?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! Yep I had eye EF on the entire time and only switched between servo and one shot throughout the afternoon, both had accurate focus :D

[@jaya.v.5093]

Julia Trotti thanks for your reply!, incidentally, I have started to use liveview shooting on my 5D IV , particularly for children portraits, and I find autofocus accuracy is quite impressive, although I am not comfortable with the way servo works under liveview...you need to keep pressing the back button focus (since that’s what I have it set up to do)... I wonder if the EOS R works the same way or if it will track the subject regardless of keeping any focus button pressed... that would be nice,

[@AMANCADENCE]

Hi Julia, thank you yet again for another amazing video. If possible, please try using the Canon EF 85 mm 1.4 IS lens. It is such a beast of a lens and super fast compared to EF 85 mm 1.2!!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Ahh that lens has been on my list to try out for the longest time haha I should really get around to it!!

[@tekkphoto2887]

Great job Julia !! i enjoyed that.

[@icemanphotos]

freakking good work again. Love it Julia, thank you for inspiration

[@Maria-vy9cg]

I don't understand why people dislike your videos! Although I'm not so much into portraits, I find your videos so relaxing and love watching you! 😊

[@juliatrotti]

Haha I don't know, but thank you so much!

[@geoffreyenriquez]

Great video as always. "R" you going to try the RP with those primes? Seems like it's a cheaper option for people wanting to get into the full frame game.

[@jamesfoos199]

So based on this video it seems as if you prefer the results of the EOS R over the 5dmkiv. I’m curious what you think of the R vs the A7iii? I’m looking to upgrade to full frame and having a tough time deciding between the two. When it comes down to results, which do you think you’d prefer?

[@DavidSk2683]

@juliatrotti

[@MicaiahKoh]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the adapted lenses Julia! Would you consider doing a comparison using the RF 50 and RF 85 and their respective EF counterparts?

[@juliatrotti]

Glad you liked it! And yes I would definitely love to do this, I’m really interested in the differences myself 😄

[@Jesusfz]

Nice video and cute smile of the photographer !

[@sols9449]

Couple that camera with the new rf lenses. You will see the definition of sharp. Insane quality and price.

[@rabbu188]

which is better CANON EOS R or SONY A6600. secondly is the kit lens of EOS R good. I have ZV-E10 with the kit lens, but i didnt find the pics that interesting.

[@MICHELLENP]

35mm 1.4 changes everything!!! After I got mine, everything shot with my other lenses looked so soft!

[@juliatrotti]

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way 😂😅

[@Trader-CL]

Have you compared with another copy of the 50mm f1.2? - it could be that it's focusing needs to be recalibrated.

[@wanderingstar2717]

Now convinced. Definitely getting the EOS R

[@HwL01]

Did you by chance activated AWB + white priority? Seems like the 5D4's white balance is more yellowish while the R's is cooler.

[@scottsater]

Thanks, Julia! Love your videos! I'm considering the EOS R this Spring. You are motivating me to get it! Now even to possibly enhance all my L glass (as well as picking up those RF lenses!) Great shoot :)!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! I forgot to mention in this video but I hired this body to try it out again. I'm excited for the mk2 release hopefully it will have 2x card slots and IBIS and I will consider getting one 😊

[@pmarcig]

​@@juliatrotti If you shoot weddings, you're gambling a bit with one card slot...that said in 15 years of shooting I've never had an issue. Same with IBIS. Neither are necessary, but both make your life easier. :)

[@avarmadillo]

Great shoot---beautiful model---really professional with a lot of great looks. I own the EOS R, but only shoot video---so far not a single photo taken, and no plans to do so. I just wanted to say for anyone looking for a hybrid camera with great DPAF, good 4k and fantastic 1080p this is at the top of my list. Hmmmm, looks like summer time down there. You're doing great work, Julia.Not a photo guy, but I always check out your videos and end up inspired by them. Thanks.

[@wanderingstar2717]

I just picked up the EOS R - in part due to your video & use it with the 35mm mk2. I love it, and would appreciate a ‘behind the scenes’ video in more light. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@nathangreen7312]

Awesome video Julia. The photos looked awesome. I really want one of those cameras

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much 😊

[@anthonyhall9453]

Great video and outstanding portraits. My favorite was at 1:54. Beautiful colour, sharpness, pose, and crop.

[@pyroBlastM]

Julia, this is what I was trying to find. Look, which AFMA setting did you have on your 5DMK4? For each lens you tested here.

[@juliatrotti]

I had no micro adjustments for these lenses with the EOS R, I had no issues with the focus so there was no need to!

[@Knoedel91]

Why so many photographers use the live view and not the view finder? I Love the View Finder at the EOS R.

[@viperstinger77]

I dont know anyone that uses the view finder all my friends use live view its a lot faster and quicker and ur in tune with the environment around you let alone when ur doing people shoot you can talk to them without your face being in the camera

[@mikewinburn]

ummm... the 50mm 1.2 IS soft wide open - that's it's charm :) I'd likely NOT sell it if purchasing and RF50 1.2. Excellent video. BTS w/ the 35 please?

[@DixonChan]

Your video makes me want to buy the R and the lenes right away, until I'm at canon website and saw the price

[@juliatrotti]

The 2 bodies I own at the moment are the 5D4 and Sony A7iii - I hired this one to be able to try it out again :)

[@Francisfphoto_]

Julia Trotti why don’t you sell your 5DIV and buy the R? Hahaha I mean, you’ve seen it’s better don’t you?

[@exquisitewidget4227]

Francisfreychet simply because of the dual card slots, 1 slot just isn’t as reliable for professional work

[@suba1234]

Interesting video, although I must say I'm surprised you use live view handheld like that. I find using the viewfinder more precise and more stable.

[@PhysiologywithChristian]

I love the EOS R. The RF50MM f1.2 lens is amazing!

[@juliatrotti]

That and the RF 85 are high on my list to try out!

[@Vincent77668]

Hiii Julia, do you have any cheap 24/35mm lens recommend for eos r? Including those old lens

[@kape2377]

Great video, because that is a camera i have been curious of, when I have to buy a New camera it might be that one. Shooting with the original 6D at the moment. So Thanks for showing what it can Do with the classic L-lenses for portrait, it was a perfect Idea. Good to see I could probably keep the lenses I already have. 👏👏

[@gwesterneng5859]

The fact that this Canon only has one cardslot is killing me.... For the rest great camera! And the shots look really good Julia!

Hi Julia i cannot familiar on my EOS R setting, can you share 3:06 what border on your screen? thanks

[@zsombee11]

Looks like you enjoyed it way more than the Sony a7II and maybe even the a7III. What is your main camera for events & portraits for this year?

[@tuongwall]

i think 5d4 :D

[@juliatrotti]

I've been using Canon for a lot longer than Sony so it definitely feels more second nature using Canon again, but I do enjoy using both mirrorless bodies anyway! And I'm still using the 5D4 for my client work at the moment, need one more lens to finish up my Sony family so I can use that instead :)

[@judgemeifyouareperfect]

Thank you so much for this Video 💖 Which Camera would you choose between Sony A7 iii and Canon EOS R? Could you make a Comparison Video between Sony and Canon EOS R? That would be so great 🙏🏻💖😇 Thank you so much for all of your great Videos and Content 😍

[@saschaperlinger5736]

once you tried the eos r, you'll never go back 👌 love the cam. looking forward for the eos r mark ii

[@juliatrotti]

I love the camera! I did hire this one as I already have all the bodies I need for my work, I'm keen for the 2x card slot that's coming out in the next R though... :D

[@nathanrodrigues6530]

Hi I love your content, and I would love to see a comparison between those same focal length with the RF lenses, so this way I can decide wether I’m investing in a RF or EF arsenal.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much and yesss I would love to do that! From what I've seen and tried of the RF lenses so far, they are super high quality and ridiculously sharp!

[@nick_a_pagan]

The sharpness is one of the first things I noticed when I started using the EOS R. It picks things up on people's faces that I don't even know when I'm standing there looking at them.

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah same here! First mirrorless I used was the Sony A7III where I noticed the same thing about it picking up details you can't even really notice in real life, then the EOS R does the same thing. Can be a good thing but also a negative when it comes to portrait photography, it's an interesting line of deciding when it's all too much sharpness/detail haha

[@jayaniravi7869]

Beautiful

[@Chazyfizzlez]

I have the EF tamron sp 35 1.4 and the RF 50 and RF 85. I love the RF system!! I can't wait for Canon to release an RF 35 and a new body with IBIS. Canon is changing the game in 2020!

[@juliatrotti]

Yess they are releasing some killer lenses, I'm looking forward to the EOS R II as well 😄 I only hired this body to try it out, but would love 2x card slots and IBIS in the next one so I can consider it!

[@elisaarsi-servizifotografi4456]

the 85mm 1.4L and the 135L are amazing with the eos R, super fast!

[@juliatrotti]

If I can get my hands on the EOS R again I would definitely like to try my 135 f2 this time, I didn't get the chance to on this shoot!

[@ejphoto]

My Canon 1Ds Mark III is prehistoric by today's standards, but my 85mm 1.2 L II lens....I'm so in love!

[@malmedia]

Just a guess, but the EOS R may be sharper with the 50mm 1.3 wide open because you don't have to focus and recompose. At that depth of field, that shift to compose could make a big difference.

[@juliatrotti]

Even if I don't focus and recompose I still have the same issues, I think it's time to calibrate it and hopefully that will help :)

[@mlakuaesmallgarden]

Can you make a review how the sigma art lenses work with eos R...? I have some art lenses and planning to get an Eos R...

[@rhykko77]

If ultimate image quality and sharpness are of concern, definitely try the Canon RF versions of the 85 and 50 1.2.

[@juliatrotti]

From what I've seen and tried so far, RF lenses are ridiculously sharp! I would love to try the 85 especially. For me it's not so much about getting as sharp as possible photos, because with portrait photography that can be a downfall in that some people don't want to see that much texture and detail on their face (such as weddings, etc) and can lead to more retouching.. more so wanted to see if they performed the same or better than they do on my 5D4 :)

[@michaelbell75]

@@juliatrotti Agreed. The RF 85 f/1.2 is actually too sharp for portraits IMO. It picks up every, single detail which isn't always a good thing.

[@michaelj7069]

Lovely

[@sarathkumark4058]

How do you compare this with sony a7iii. Which is better??

[@SeanNeale]

Yettttt another great video! 🔥 Last week, I was going to ask if you’d consider doing another EOS R video (maybe trying the RF 85mm / golden hour backlit vibe) so this is v satisfying 😄

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! I have a couple of other EOS R videos planned at the moment too :D I would looove to try the RF 85!

[@simianinc]

Hi Julia, as you point out you had more out-of-focus shots in blue hour due to the lower light level. And that’s where the lack of IBIS relative to its rivals if probably the last area Canon needs to improve on to have a world-beater.

[@bazliramli5289]

Hi julia..canon or nikon? beginner here..🙂

[@lalonkarim1323]

You are saying that 35mm performs about same on both R and 5D4, and other two lenses perform better on R. May be that is just aperture - 5D4 is reliable down to f1.4, and R can shoot easily beyond that (1.2).

[@RyanJS08]

Your videos are all so educational and pleasant. Also, I really need an 85mm lens!

[@reecord2]

I think the problem with the 50mm wide open is that the plane of focus is so crazy thin it's hard to get enough of the face in focus at once; on the lefthand photo of the blonde model at 4:10, it looks like the focus lands around her left eye and lips, and her right eye falls out of the focal plane. Anyway, love your videos!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you 💛

[@darcykscales]

I have the exact same problem with the 50mm1.2. I cant shoot wide open as it is so soft, I'm always above f/2. I still love it, but noticed that issue

[@michaelbell75]

Another good video but you mention some shots being out of focus again. Why do you not use a vertical battery grip? Thats the first thing I get for my cameras, its a must have. Any little movement shooting wide open at a razor thin f/1.2 is bound to create some camera shake and cause blur. Shooting with a grip that has a vertical shutter allows you to keep your elbow tucked in close to your body which leads to getting steadier shots, rather than having your elbow opened up and away from your body to reach the shutter. That is probably causing most of your focus issues and its why most portrait shooters who dont use grips have their cameras on a tripod to steady it. Get a vertical grip! :)

[@juliatrotti]

I shoot landscape most of the time anyway and have never really liked the feeling of having a battery grip on any of my cameras! The out of focus comes from shooting at a shallow depth of field, so for example if I keep my hands steady or put my camera on a tripod, etc, if the model slightly moves her chin up or shifts where she is a tiny bit while I'm taking the picture it will cause it to be out of focus on the eyes.

[@jonhermannsson9231]

Great video as always No IBIS on the R The canon 85 is nice Yes the 50 is soft I feel that wider lenses are faster in af These canon lenses should work well. Not cheap

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah, for some reason I just cannot get used to any EVF lol but at least I like using the screen so it's not so bad :) And yes you would have the same focus points/same use of eye AF in the viewfinder!
