Fall Road Trip Through Mammoth Lakes California - Shot on the OM-5

[@AliceFordAdventures]

What kind of camera do you shoot photos or videos on when you travel?

[@nam_hn]

I've been shooting Pentax. They're not good for making videos. :(

[@2011woodlands]

canon sx40 HS, it worked great until i dropped it one too many times, the internal lense popped loose and canon refuses to service older models. i will probably buy a used one on ebay for a fraction of the price, still have the minolta 35mm, but you dont know what you have until the film is developed.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

@@2011woodlands ah yes old film cameras are fun. I’m sure I have a few lying around from my dad too

[@normanq1206]

I bring the 5d classic and Fujifilm cameras with me on trips. Both take great stills straight out of camera. For video, I use the GoPro and my smartphone. Great video.

Sony A7R and a Sony camcorder

Hey, my stomping grounds! I grew up in LA and have been all over that area. I still go to the Sierras regularly for backpacking and alpine fishing. When I was a teen I got stranded on that island in the middle on Mono Lake. Short version, We paddled a child’s inflatable raft out to the island, the winds picked up, we spent the night. Good times! I’m proud to say, that’s not the only time I’ve been stranded on an island. Adventure on!

[@bono9448]

Good Morning Alice , Beautiful Shots. We both definitely have to go fishing there. Many Greetings and have an nice Sunday. R

Wonderful, Alice! Such a beautiful location.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you Jim it really is beautiful

[@davek4442]

I own the same Camera, fantastic camera for active photography birding and hiking .Great video and you really open our eyes to this area. This is a must visit place for our future travels.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Dave, this is my first OM camera in many years I’m loving the small size and weight so much. It’s a beautiful area too

[@karenabel6218]

Hi Alice, I use a NIkon d7000 or my old Nikon F3. There is so much to see in the Mammoth Lakes area, especially for backpackers. Thanks for the new video.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Awesome Karen, yes that’s so true. So many great trails to try and beautiful places

[@Chenxi_love_music_fairy]

The trees and lakes have different colors which are spectacular during the autumn season. Thanks for introducing OM5’s various interesting and useful features.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

You’re so welcome, it’s a stunning area, one in which I need to visit more.

[@joenunes799]

Thanks Alice. Love that place ❤

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks for watching Joe

[@ramsesmorales9151]

Hi Alice, those are all really beautiful lakes! Also the art mode was very cool! That's a good option to have on your camera indeed, specially as a content creator. Marry Christmas and Happy New Years! 🎉

[@georgespencer3973]

My favorite hike so far in that area is the Little Lakes Trail which starts at Mosquito Flats above Rock Creek just a bit north of Bishop. Easy, 5-6 mile hike … all the pristine alpine lakes and spiked mountains you pass on that trail… I always get a little headache from the altitude (starts about 10,000 feet) but the scenery is so worth it. If it’s your first trip, you will have a hard time keeping your camera put away. Mid to late September is a great time. Fewer people and great colors. Cold at night, though (20’s). There are some really nice tent sites at the far back end of Rock Creek campground and the bathrooms have heaters! About the camera, that mic sounds really good for an onboard mic. Thank you for the video, Alice!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you George, it’s definitely an area I want to visit more. So many great trails and campgrounds too

[@zachf6256]

Good Morning Alice! 😊 Amazing video and a beautiful day for a trek. Impressed with the microphone also! It’s definitely a great feature for when you are not mic’s up. Adding this to the places to explore. Thanks for sharing Alice, can’t wait to see what you experienced in Jordan! Have a great week ahead 😊 Happy Trails!

[@normanq1206]

beautiful views.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks so much Norman

[@wildzenventures]

That scenery is stunning! We were down there a few years ago but it was winter and cold! Love seeing these spots in Fall. That camera takes very sharp, clean photos. Cheers

[@johnprisk]

Simply gorgeous. I love the Eastern Sierra, especially the area around Mammoth Lakes. Life in general has kept me away for the last two years, but I am bound and determined to adventure up there at least twice in 2024. I tend to shoot fujifilm when I do run-n-gun travel photography. It gives me a great balance of size to performance with their APSC sized sensors and their wonderful film simulations.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Awesome John, I’ve never shot on a Fujifilm camera. I sure hope you make it back up here next year.

[@radisson8627]

Great editing. Beautiful views of the area. I think the final segment of this video is the best part among all other shots taken, where you are standing above water and the lake in the background. Blue skies helped for this, calm waters and the contrasts are superb, especially when mixed with the yellows of the fall foliage. Thanks for sharing. Love your hat! P.S. Do you ever take a break? 😎🌻👍🏔🥾

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Radisson. I loved Mono Lake too that contrast and the shade of blue are insane and no I never take a day off ha

[@Radium3D]

I'm wondering, were you shooting in HDR1/HDR2 mode? I feel like the color was a bit washed out on my OLED HDR display. Just an fyi :) I would love to have a picnic at the lake! Looks beautiful up there, have always wanted to check out the mammoth lakes area outside of winter :D

[@AliceFordAdventures]

For photo or video? In video I either shoot in Log or Flat and in photo I am using color profile 1 I believe. My display seems pretty bright.

[@kurtpastory1221]

Alice just found you on KZbin. Love your content.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you so much Kurt

[@johncraig7823]

You missed Rock Creek Lake! Turn off at Toms Place & head straight up the mountain it is at almost 10,000 ft. Plus at the top of Conway Summit on Hwy 395 turn left on road up to Virginia Lakes & Trumbull Lake Campground also at almost 10,000 ft.

[@joseph40ninjas88]

Sadly, I haven't pulled out my Olympus micro 4/3 in a few years. It was my go-to whenever I wanted an LE. [Can we still be friends?]. 📷🤣

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Of course we can ;)

[@JohnProthero]

I need to research this new camera of yours. My wife shoots all her photos with her Samsung S22, but keeps commenting that she wished a DSLR or mirrorless had the same editing capabilities in camera as her smartphone does.

[@mr.commander3947]

I ve been to mammoth lake couple of times,, but,, did not explore deep inside,, yes,, there are more than 10 beautiful small size lakes alongside hwy 395,, november still able to see yellow aspen,, birch and cottonwood trees ???

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I was just there last week, many is the aspens have lost their leaves but it’s still beautiful and not many people around either. The snow will come soon but right now it’s still great weather

[@marty17f]

New camera and a new hat, things are going well for you. You keep going to great places I have never been to. Thanks Alice for the great video.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Marty. Glad I’m showing you some new places

[@Mario.alsanchez117]

❄️❄️❄️

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Alice, you picked a great place to go to see how well your new camera performs.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I think so too

[@RAH1861]

Love your videos Alice. I was interested to see that you are now sponsored by OM Systems and using the OM-5. I have been a long-time Olympus m43 camera user. I don't do much video, but there are several still-camera features of the OM-5 that would be great for you to feature in your travel videos, especially: Starry Sky Autofocus (p. 121 in the manual) - allows easily getting to infinity on a pitch-black starry sky Live Composite Photography (p. 62) - allows VERY long exposures without over-exposing an unchanging background - only areas that change in brightness (such as fireworks or lightning) will register in the shot while the unchanging scene will stay static - it builds a composite and delivers a final shot. Amazing! Pro Capture Photography (p.108) - allows you to easily capture a fleeting scene (like a squirrel sticking its head out of a hole for a brief few seconds). It buffers shots around what you want and later on the computer you can pick the shot with exactly what you wanted to capture. Plus, of course, amazing image stabilization and high-res modes. Enjoy!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Oh yes, thanks for the suggestions I plan to feature those exact features in an upcoming video.

[@Chenxi_love_music_fairy]

I am not a person like to shoot video or photos. However if I need to, I would use iPhone.
