Photo Walk -Lens Matters or Does It?

[@mattisulanto]

See Jan's video too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmrCd4d4oa1mj6s

[@lim2001burger]

Good to see you both! Hoping to see more photowalks like this on both your channels!

[@ruuddirks5565]

More photo walks, please. Both fun and educational.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks, my friend.

[@sstansm7f]

Thanks guys! Photo walk is funny and educational. Jan's approach to simplify gear is appreciated - more concentration on rendering impression in the pics. It works.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jpauvinen]

Hey good stuff guys. I have to try Jan`s method shooting square frames in BW finder ! Thanks.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. Try it, you might like it😀

[@ShawnPerryVideoPhotoS5]

Another great photo walk. Thanks so much.

[@mattisulanto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have a GX8 and often use a 7artisans 18mm f6.3 in B&W and i save both jpg's and rw2's. Usually i discard the rw2's in the end, but sometimes i tweeak them. I'm not shooting for instagram, so i use 16:9 aspect ratio. So Jan's setup is quite familliar to me. I like this setup very much somehow it connects me back to photography. I also often carry arround a small GF5 with that same lens and similar settings even when i'm not intentionally out for shooting. Nice video.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks for sharing!

Nice episode and Jan seems like a good guy. It was also good to see what can be achieved with a 9mm pancake lens. You should have taken one of those puppies from the lady.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. Jan already has a dog and I don't want one😀

[@robertdavis1255]

Thanks for sharing your experience with comments... interesting video & pics...I love the black & white shots... cheers 😀

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks!

[@moggridge1]

Good video! Jan's striking outfit makes we hanker after a can of Fanta! 🍊🍊🍊😊👍

[@mattisulanto]

😂

[@VISUALTHIRST]

Wonder why 😁

[@VISUALTHIRST]

Thanks Matti! It was fun to do this with you! I think gear really doesn't matter when you're shooting for yourself. Forget perfection and just have fun! 😀👍

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks Jan! We'll do this again😀

[@miklosnemeth8566]

4:09 wow, I love they way Jan is using his GX8, viewfinder tilted up and controlling exposure shutter with exposure compensation in A-mode: f8 + ISO400 (f16 + ISO400 FF equivalent as for DoF and noise) fixed. Was my understanding correct? 6:23 only the central 13x13mm part of the sensor, BW. 9:03 I understood where just9mm name came from. You were lucky with that nice lady with her dogs.

[@mattisulanto]

F8 on MFT would give you about the same as DOF as F16 on FF, if the angle of view is the same. To retain the same shutter speed, you'd then have to double the ISO on FF, which would give similar noise levels on both cameras, because FF has about two stops better signal to noise ratio. That lady was very kind to let us take those photos.

[@wilfredshum3703]

Nicely done. Street photography is much easier with autofocus lenses. With manual focusing ones, it is a percentage game. I usually carry two cameras when I travel to new places, 35 mm auto and 90 mm manual.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jazzgtrs1243]

If you were using the Sony ZV-E10, it doesn't appear to be available in the U.S. until later this month

[@mattisulanto]

Yes, that's the camera. I didn't know it's not yet available over there.

[@aviatorman8]

Very cool and chill walk with a likeminded guy. At least you’re not walking with someone who isn’t into photography and won’t wait for you to take the photo, something I experience sometimes when a buddy joins me on the trails in the mountains. I liked the smooth footage while walking. Would love to hear your thoughts on the new camera. Also would like to hear how you prepare for autumn photography. Hope you guys had a great coffee afterwards.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. I'm going to make a video on the new Sony, which is not mine, by the way.

[@aviatorman8]

@@mattisulanto Sounds good.

[@singlereed]

I’ve done a couple of photo walks using a GX9 and the Leica 15mm lens - really enjoyed it! I also tried doing JPEG only in B&W. Much of the time I’m out photographing birds with a really long lens so my biggest nightmare is to miss the chance of a peregrine falcon on top of a London building :-) funny thing is, when I pack other lenses or bits and pieces, I often forget I’ve brought them and just carry them around all day.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks for sharing!

[@JyrkiKoponen]

Good video! More photos and less gears.

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you.

[@seanmangan2769]

Matti, the beard is looking good!

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks😀

[@vaclavpotucek9060]

"... I got one or two decent photographs... " Ha ha, I totally understand this. When I set out for a photowalk, I quite often come home with some 200 photographs, considering some five to fifteen of them to be the quite good ones.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. Yes, that's how it goes😀

[@siofna9709]

Nice photo walk and lens doesn´t matter :-).

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks.

[@divisionoflabor3070]

This makes me want to find a photo friend. Cheers!

[@mattisulanto]

The more the merrier😀

[@seanmangan2769]

I have that 9 mm lens and I really like it.

[@mattisulanto]

It's a fun lens indeed.

[@joeltunnah]

That claw you need to make with your hand is why I don’t like the small Sony cameras.

[@mattisulanto]

What claw?😅

[@joeltunnah]

@@mattisulanto the "Sony Claw"! haha

[@thatsreallyamoon]

fun! The only time lens matters is when you're out taking animal pictures, and then no lens is ever zoomed in enough 😂

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks.

[@leonfourie5717]

Like this type of real life videos. Only one question, why do you(Matti) use the back screen sometimes and not the viewfinder when using the camera in harsh light. Wouldn't it be better using the viewfinder But I enjoyed the video with you friend.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. This camera does not have a viewfinder, but sometimes when I make videos I find it easier to explain things if the camera is not on my face.

[@leonfourie5717]

@@mattisulanto o sorry. Still enjoyed the contend.

[@mattisulanto]

@@leonfourie5717 It's not my camera, only on loan, so no need to be sorry😀

[@kemerthomson]

I like your videos when you have another photographer participating.

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you!

[@TL-xw6fh]

The Sony may be a small camera, but it looks unbalanced even with a semi-wide lens. It doesn't look like it is comfortable to handhold for a day of street photography too.

[@mattisulanto]

Everything is not always what it looks😀 That lens is very lightweight and that combo is quite comfortable to hold. If you mount a big heavy lens on the ZV-E10, it feels unbalanced like any small camera with a big lens.

[@MikeJones-ue7lu]

Why are there so few people?

[@mattisulanto]

I don't know😀 Maybe because it was a Sunday morning and it's a residential neighborhood.

[@cameraprepper7938]

I just do not understand why so many use compensation dial, I use the shutter dial because then I can control both the shuttertime, aperture and ISO at all time !

[@mattisulanto]

There are so many ways to end up with the same result. Your way is as good as any other way😀

[@sstansm7f]

It's a question what is better A mode with exposure compensation or M mode? Both modes require to rotate the dials equally.

[@cameraprepper7938]

@@mattisulanto I have always since I started in 1979 with SLR cameras used fully manual operation, it is so easy and simple plus very satisfying :D I did try to use aperture priority in 1980 with my Nikon FE, but only for a very short time :) I am very happy to see that you use prime Lens ;)

[@mattisulanto]

@@cameraprepper7938 Some like M, some like P. There is no right or wrong. I use M for professional works, but A or P for more casual photography. I started my photography some years earlier than you😀
