Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera - Portrait Challenge

[@villegas24]

Honestly the model made their job way easier. She knew what she was doing.

[@angelsalas3808]

Clear example of true talent vs gear.

For daylight photography almost every camera holds up very well...

@@senr898 I had a d3300 a few years ago, with the cheap 50 1.8 I did one of my best photos ever, now I have an a7iii but does not have the same magic lol

[@cas818028]

D3300 is an amazing camera, was my first camera and I still use it from time to time.

[@nogerboher5266]

Hate to be the one to burst your bubble but you don't need talent for photography, only pactice/training and experience. All you need is determination, dedication and consistency.

[@AniketSen-dn5ij]

Nikon's have a way of punching way above their weight class. Me and my girl we both bought compact mirrorless full frames. I got the Z5 and she got the A7C. While almost costing twice as much as my Nikon, at least where we live, when we went out for some landscape photography, the Z5 quite surprisingly stood toe to toe and even outclassed the A7C in some aspects. I was overjoyed and she was plain jealous. Plus I feel the Z5 is better built and feels more natural and ergonomic compared to the A7C, not to mention perks like a superior EVF, superior IBIS & weather sealing and 2xUHS-II slots. It was to a point where she asked me If I wanted to swap camera's with her and I said 'FUCK NO!'. We are getting married, so yeah, I had to swap cameras. The Auto Focus on this A7C is great though.

[@greasycheeseburger2908]

Cool story haha! And congratulations on your wedding!

[@tomdelisle8955]

Hey, I love my D3300. Not having a lot to spend I bought the D3300 and purchased an excellent used 24-70 mm.

[@jriis2010]

The brand Nikon is some what treated like inferior here. "With the Nikon ?" is heard several times. The famous photo "The Afghan Girl" was shot with a Nikon. Its all about the photographer and glass, not necessarily the brand.

[@ilusoriob]

It really makes them sound so amateurish really...

[@jansayga1465]

@@ilusoriobyeah just relying on the gear does not make you a „pro photographer”

[@mrspiderhead8794]

​@@ilusoriobYeah, exactly this. It's not very professional to have this kind of bizarre brand bias, not to mention the 'older/simpler = bad' mentality. I mean, I'm torn - the videos are entertaining and the guys are super likeable, but I just get the impression that there's no real understanding of photographic history and that the attitude is informed more by brand loyalty and tech-chasing than it is by technical understanding. I mean, they scoff at having to use the viewfinder, god forbid they ever have to shoot film on an analogue SLR 😂 Would they even know what a daguerreotype is without googling it? I hope I'm wrong, because again they seem like decent guys, just a bit... misguided.

[@Thejohnventura]

I like how you guys used an actual camera for beginners! I started my career with that camera.

[@MitchLally]

Yep! I started on a d7000

[@johnpaultougan5241]

[@supdota2]

the Nikon dd3300 is my first camera ever. I've since switched to Fuji xt3 but I'll forever remember it. it's really not that bad

The one with a moon for you is 🔥 and his glass reflection was 🔥 too. You’re an amazing pro photographer. I would have have blamed the Nikon if I didn’t get a good one. 😂 Blessings!

Thanks James!

[@justohuaricallomaron1589]

You can do this challenge with an old Nikon DSLR such the D2X or anything else.

[@brianasealy6257]

I have to say I love how supportive you guys are of each others work! Like the compliments are just amazing. You both got some awesome shots! This video was great would love to see more like it :-)

this just goes to show you do not need the best most expensive camera out there. its all talent and creativity!

Mike shooting ports is always fun to watch

[@shuttermatt]

When I started photography I had a D3200 and I got some stellar images over the years 🤣 I wasn't surprised he got some amazing shots with a d3300

[@PrintKingdom904]

started on the same camera and was thinking the same lol

[@iammz81]

I have had the same camera before Nikon D3200 with the 15-55mm kit lens... and made some good pictures.

[@gedabrus7669]

mitch photo is banger, especially in the rush time

[@lymphliar]

The model is beautiful

[@anlsahal4147]

Welcome to "just 11 focus points speed limit" :) D3300 is my first camera and in my opinion it is a very good camera for everything (picture of moon proves it) except for portraits :)

[@LeafOfAutumn05]

Yeah focus points and dynamic range are the problem but can't complain for its price

[@yashwinning]

damn stop shitting on the D3300 so much it's still a good camera. Throw a Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 or a Nikon 50mm 1.4 and you got yourself a pretty good portrait kit. I still shoot on a Fuji X-T10 with a vintage lens and that camera produces insane results

[@MitchLally]

I said the camera was good in the video 🥲

[@yashwinning]

@@MitchLally not you lmao I meant North Borders, I probably should've made that clearer. I appreciate you not shitting on the D3300, the results were great.

[@bloodynine_]

Well, Nikon D3300 isn't that bad as you said in the beginning of the video. Its pretty good budget camera for amateurs.

[@findKhristine]

the energy is so chaotic and I'm here for it haha... that moon photo!

[@yourstrulyeliz]

10:24 sheeeesh that shot!! 🌙

[@PrintKingdom904]

great video but don't get why you are sharting on the nikon D330 its a good quality entry level camera so as long as you have an eye (which both you lads clealry have) you can get some sharp images.

[@Agiztos]

great video idea! love it. please more of this kind, cause Im using an old nikon haha :D and its amazing to see what nice pics you can still shoot with it

[@nikolaypetrov4219]

Actually I'm here for the Camera but after i see this girl i change my mind 😂

[@davidoconnor6051]

I think the best photo is the one with the reflection in the glass. By far the best.

[@timpenner7858]

Would have used a much shittier old shit camera than that Nikon. Also, the professional model really changed the dynamic of the comparison. Given the parameters, I was hoping to see how a pro could take good pictures no matter the technical deficits; and, likewise, an inexperienced shooter can only get lucky no matter how great the equipment.

[@YathishChinnu]

Which Sony camera are you used for photography?

[@josphchoi]

north borders + mitch is the collab we've all been waiting for

[@Vartan297]

A good example of young people thinking Nikon aren’t good cameras. They fell out of favour with the cool kids some years ago… probably because video specs were crap… Not so now but for quite a few years youngsters thought Nikon were rubbish.

[@MitchLally]

There’s a big difference between the real world of photography and the internet people who sit around and chat specs and never shoot a real job.

[@Vartan297]

@@MitchLally completely agree man. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AnthonyRayShane]

Omg...u guys are so cool! I definitely subscribed! Love the power of KZbin!

[@Pholiant]

Good challenge, I think. Sometimes it's nice to have certain limitations (time and locations) to squeeze the inspiration out. This proves that a good photographer can work with any location, which is useful, because not always a perfect location can be found, like during weddings or other events.

[@pratiksaha6314]

Thank you for stepping into my shoes, Mitch. I use the Nikon D3400. It isn't any better than the 3300. I genuinely want to see a b-roll challenge between both these cameras. ❤️

[@michelecintramika8482]

Se você usar uma lente de qualidade na sua câmera de entrada, irá mudar completamente a qualidade das suas foto. A qualidade da lente faz toda diferença. E se tiver um flash externo, ficará melhor ainda. Você nem irá querer trocar sua câmera de entrada.

[@plane_spotter_italy]

Do you think for starting video the sony a6000 is good?

[@nomadikmind3979]

What was the lens he was using on the nikon?

[@TayeGiggs]

Hey, I'm a freelance photographer who works on Portraits as well, and I just want to ask what type of lenses do you use for portraits? I'm currently working with my Canon Eos M50 with a Neewer 35mm lens but would love to know if there's specific ones for portraits.

[@geelws8880]

Best for portrait: 35mm 1.4/1.8 85mm 1.4/1.8. Even 50 but almost everybody shoots in 50 so it’s harder to stand out. Portrait photographer like to use prime lenses because it’s “sharper” and helps the photographer move around the subject to grab different angles, if you start with a zoom lense, make sure to practice with prime lenses first to grab that idea of composition. Zoom lenses 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 these ones gives you A LOT of versatility. Once you have sense of composition in and lighting that when I would go for the zoom ones hehe

[@NoteAndroid]

I'm not a professional photographer, just like to take pictures "my way". I bought the same Nikon D3300 with its kit lens 18-55mm in 2018 and went to Paris for practice. I've never used a DSLR before, the D3300 gave me some of the most gorgeous night pix with F3.5 stop. I'd figured if I'm not sure what I'm doing, at least I can get a few pix based on "location, location, location".

[@drakeb6168]

I loved that bus photo. just have a thing for the movement of things as I can not seem to catch shots like that. Super jelly.
