Photographing Italy on Two Prime Lenses

[@TKNORTH]

A slightly different style of video on this one - let me know your thoughts! ✌

[@JasonLawrenceNoel]

Glad you enjoyed your trip :) photos were lovely ✌️

[@James-nf5sp]

Really enjoyed this format, and liked that you added which lens you shot with each photo. Really getting into prime lenses now after having a 50mm for a little bit now, and the 24mm looks like a great range to have for capturing that wider perspective.

You are a breath of fresh air. Glad I found your channel 🎉

[@TKNORTH]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@captaincook6283]

I would love to see how you achieve the look in your pictures. That’s very unique. Please explain to us how you do it not only showing us. ;)

[@TKNORTH]

I might try do a video on this look very soon! It's all included in the CineFilm pack I use though! I sometimes only tweak the shadows a bit depending on the image and occasionally add some radial / graduated filters for areas of light or shadow :) anyway cheers for that hopefully a video soon!

[@elevatedmediafl3398]

@@TKNORTH are you using a diffusion filter on your lenses?

[@thiccdddad75]

@@elevatedmediafl3398for sure he's using a pro mist diffuser lens. It's a nice look and great way to soften a clinically sharp digital image.

[@cowboy238]

You are the best one I saw to use 24MM prime for street photography.

[@DanielandMai]

Absolutely beautiful photos 🥹 Hope you had a wonderful trip!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much 😊 had such a wonderful time!

[@abchappell01]

These are some of the most beautiful photos of Italy I have ever seen. They are simply breathtaking!

[@terrydear4038]

Just back from 4 weeks in UK, Spain and Portugal. Had 2 primes to go with the R6: 28mm f2.8 and 50mm f1.8. If I’m honest I think I would have preferred a 24-70 or 24-105 zoom as I seemed to constantly be changing lenses. Took the Peak Design 6L slung you recommended and it’s definitely a winner - perfect. Thanks as always.

[@mareksykora3891]

24+50 or 35+135 or 20+35 or many others... it's always combo of wide angle and some detail, this combo is working for ages and does not matter exact focal length... you can do the same with 24-70/2.8 too :)

[@TKNORTH]

So very true! It's always nice having some kind of duo though. Mixes things up but doesn't overwhelm with too many options

[@invader_viv]

I love those little trucks lol, I was in Sicily in January it was nice even to take photos on my little Canon Rebel, it's so nice off season

[@TKNORTH]

Haha they are the best!! That's so true, I often prefer a lot of places outside peak season. As long as you can still get decent conditions / light for photos. Would love to visit Sicily sometime!

[@invader_viv]

@@TKNORTH I didn't take any photos in the main city Palermo there for the same reason as you with too many people, but I was in Belestrate, there was a traditional festival type of carnival there and it was cool to photo document it, and I stayed in Castellammare Del Golfo, a sweet little town literally fulllll of your little truck lol you would love it there, for the port, the trucks, and the people that are so nice

[@musiqueetmontagne]

Some great images, excellent. To me your exposures and development produce real film like photographs. Lovely.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much for that! I definitely draw some inspiring from film when editing these days, but always trying to put my own spin on it.

[@CamMead]

Looks like a great trip man, great shots all round!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much dude! It sure was!

[@DrivewithDom]

Great video tk! Like the format a lot 👍🏼

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much dude! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@mikedyson_]

Great shots man! Looked like an amazing trip.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much man! Had a great time.

[@makmak69L7]

Amazing shots, very inspiring video. 2 primes!!! In Italy?!!! Very brave man. When I visited Italy I took all my zooms with me (the holy trinity). 😊

[@joehai366]

man, the way you edit your photos is incredible, keep up the good work mate, love it. i'd love to receive a tutorial of how how u edit ur photos. its brilliant

[@MyekalBenham]

Awesome work mate! Thanks for sharing!

[@TKNORTH]

Appreciate it! Thanks for checking it out 😊

[@paulfarley8023]

I love Italy. Looks like you had an amazing trip. Great shots/frames 🙌

[@ElMacho0423]

Looks dreamy. I wish the Rf 50mm 1.2 was shrunk down. I love the quality but sometimes its a bit hard to travel.

[@TKNORTH]

Feels. It's always been a favourite of mine, but the size & weight is a killer.

[@jackjericho]

Really like your shots, with the soft look and sublime color. Same exact primes I took when I traveled to Italy, except mine were the classic EF 24L and 50L on the 5D2 (this was in 2011).

[@omgmitzidis2]

Cant wait to see those from Venice! Nice video man!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much dude! Literally just uploading the Venice video now, should be live later today 😊

[@Mr.julian]

Bangers.... Bangers everywhere... Loved this video bro the photos were epic

[@IronCibo]

Congratulations for the video! Next time you come back to Veneto, let me know!😉

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! I hope to make it back!

[@Itchban]

pics look great bro

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks bro! You vlogging over there?

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Thank you for sharing your photos and telling us the regions you visited. I’ve never visited Italy and like to do it someday. Can you be more specific about the lenses you used. Also would be nice to know both the f-stop and ISO for each image and if the image has or has not been cropped. Take care.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much for the feedback! It's the RF 24mm f/1.8 and the RF 50mm f/1.2, - I didn't chat too much about them as I've shared a lot about these two lenses in recent videos! In terms of settings, all largely low ISO (mostly shot during bright daylight), rarely cropped (sometimes just change the aspect ratio slightly, eg to 5x7 or 4x5 if I like the composition better). In terms of f-stop I have a recent video on aperture priority which explains how I often pick my aperture!

[@evanc8919]

Thea images are stellar

[@tomaszmichalski51]

Very nice pictures!!!

[@shy-guy5544]

Interesting video and gorgeous photos. Regarding the Fuji photos, did you use a particular film simulation? Thanks

[@mahmoodkerbelker7135]

Love the photos, would love to know how you edited these photos

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! Hopefully do an updated video on this style soon :)

[@bellvuehillapart9782]

Beautiful photos

[@Slaven4ukM]

Italy such a beautiful country. Love your pictures. Did you use a mist filter or you just added softness in the highlights in Lightroom?

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much, it really is! I used a mist filter on all of these (besides the couple of shots on the Fuji) but created slightly in the edit too!

[@piola6666]

APE is a crucial vehicle here in Italy :-D

[@TKNORTH]

I miss them already 🥲

[@rawkista]

Awesome pics. What kind and strength of mist filter are you using?

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! Its 1/4. I think the effect can really vary between different brands though, this one is a Nisi Black Mist.

[@MartinV.]

Great Video

[@TKNORTH]

Appreciate it!

[@scottstramyk]

Awesome Video man

[@stayuntilforever]

Should have just taken xf18mmf2 and XF35mm1.4 + the X pro. First in a tiny bag and weight very little. Have you printed any images?

[@RandumbTech]

Really enjoyed this style of video! Did you find it challenging to keep swapping lenses? I’m considering a purchase of the new Sony 24-50 f2.8 lens so that I keep one lens on at all times.

[@robertbohnaker9898]

TK. Nice casual video. Which 50 did you use !

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much dude, its a nice way to share some images. I was using the RF 1.2, I have really considered downsizing lately but it's such a nice lens!

[@ivardahl-larsen]

From looking at your pictures, you hardly used only two primes. I spot 24mm, 23mm apc-s which is 35FF, and 50mm so far, that is three. Good pictures of travel though. Personally I use 35 and 75mm FF equivalent.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks for the comment! I only grabbed the Fuji off my wife on one day really haha for a few shots since we were on a ferry it was hard to change any lenses around! Thought they were still worth showing!

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Mist filter or clarity adjustment in post?

[@alvintelin]

this may be both

[@TKNORTH]

Yep a bit of both, always had a black mist on the RF lenses.

[@alvintelin]

@@TKNORTH I also has mist filter on, on my lens all the time.

[@LV154]

👍👍👍

[@Photographic_Love]

I can assume you meant 3 prime lenses. 24mm (23mm apc = 35mm) 50mm

[@TKNORTH]

Hmm I only showed a few images from the Fuji on one single day out of almost an entire month (as my wife mostly used it). I think I'll keep it at 2.

[@Photographic_Love]

@@TKNORTH whatever floats your boat😂👍
