Q&A - Cameras, Color Grading, Career & More.

[@JamieTakesPhotos]

Great Q&A man, would definitely love to see a rough process for your grading, or just seeing how you use the tools. I might learn a thing or two!

[@DylanSpitz]

Thanks so much! I am planning on it, for sure. Will be a fun one 🤘

Just found your channel while watching all the X100VI content imaginable, and I'm so glad I did. Your videos are so chill and natural. The videos and photos are absolutely beautiful too! Looking forward to going through all your videos.

[@DylanSpitz]

Sooo thankful for you taking the time to watch them and for the compliment. Very happy you’re enjoying it, I’ve got some fun new stuff on the way for ya 🫡

[@willmccleland2383]

Really like the chilled vibes and honesty in this video

[@DylanSpitz]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@taunado]

Thanks. Please do walkthrough videos where you edit photos and talk through your editing thought process.

[@taunado]

As in live, so no need for editing.

10:56 Imposter syndrome is no joke. It's hard for people to understand that have never experienced it themselves but it can seriously hold you back. I experience it from a creative stand point for sure. (You can 1000% do a book btw)

[@DylanSpitz]

It’s true, very hard to get past it sometimes. Ah thanks for the encouragement about the book! Early stages 👀

[@ItsJahmin]

Great video, I think you hit on a lot of really key points. Trusting your intuition is so huge. Probably the most important trick I ever learned was, if you shoot with a zoom lens, pay attention to the metadata and figure out what focal lengths you gravitate towards. I found that images I felt the strongest about were between 45-55. I primarily work with a 45mm prime now.

[@DylanSpitz]

That’s a great way to learn your preference, for sure! Appreciate you watching and sharing your experience. Thank you!

[@samuelaugust1708]

Awesome video man! Keep it up

[@DylanSpitz]

Thanks, dude! On it 🤘

[@coreymagz3145]

I think you should consider a zine before a full on photobook. I know I'd def buy a zine!

[@DylanSpitz]

For sure!

[@RyanHarville]

Thanks for answering my question man! That helped me tremendously. I'm going to do just that - thank you. Video was awesome by the awy!

[@DylanSpitz]

Thanks for asking a question, man! Appreciate the feedback and really happy to hear it was helpful. Cheers!

[@Morroh]

Thanks for answering my question! I appreciate the honesty. I shouldn't be surprised that most people in the visually creative field tend to work by trial and error, or by soaking in other visual content. looking forward to more vids!

[@DylanSpitz]

Hey, thank you for submitting - it was a great question! Appreciate the feedback and yesssss just keep getting those reps in. 🤘

[@kevintoews5656]

Just found your content a few day ago. Excellent stuff. Made me want to get out there and shoot photos again

Greetings from UA 🙏Keep on going man, ur work is inspiring. Would like to see a video about ur editing process (vid/ph).

[@DylanSpitz]

Thank you!

[@shuseph]

just wanted to say that i stumbled upon your channel recently as someone that is extremely a hobbyist photographer - i've probably sat down and watched every video on your channel! very inspiring and would definitely be interested in purchasing a book, if you ever put one together!

[@DylanSpitz]

Wow, that is awesome! Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Happy to have ya!

[@olgadekell]

Love the Squarespace bit, am also dreaming of working with them one day! 😅

[@DylanSpitz]

Hahahaha

[@Technicooler]

Thank you for your wisdom 🙏

[@DylanSpitz]

I thought my hat covered my gray hairs, dang it! 😂

[@samuelaugust1708]

Also i would buy a coffee table book, would even enjoy a few pages with storys of those adventures. Also dying for a wallpaper for my pc, tablet, or phone

[@DylanSpitz]

Right on, thanks man. ❤️

[@JoffyCake]

As a photographer looking to do more video work the hardest thing for me has been finding inspiration, or feeling like I can better represent a story through Stills with my current ability.

[@DylanSpitz]

You can do it! Practice is the answer, confidence will come with experience.

[@jacobspang21]

Which Fujifilm x100v custom present film simulations have you used? I have almost soley use Kodachrome 64. But with so many options and scene types how do you decide which custom presets to use? ( I know you said you dont use simulations, but if you didbecause you probably could simulate what you do in raw with a custom preset.) When overcast use this... When sunny no cloud cover use this... When winter use this.. I'm curious with your style what are your "go to's" and when do you use them?

[@DylanSpitz]

Hey! I’m sorry I can’t be much help here, I’ve tried a bunch of the film recipes and I just find I really can’t get a look I like with them.

[@kaneda8625]

It would be nice to see a photo/video editing session. Ps. i like a lot your style bro

[@DylanSpitz]

Thanks for the feedback, I think I’ll do that soon 🙌

Hi, Do you use an ND filter (variable?) to record film (I'm looking to buy one) ? Thanks so much for your inspiring work :)

[@DylanSpitz]

Hello! Yes, I do. I just updated the description of this video with a link to the one I've been using the past few years (last item on the list, now) - hope that helps!

Thank you!

[@crevometamedia]

I have unfollowed a number of KZbin channels after I watched all your videos. I just couldn't watch and stomach the crazy transitions anymore. I prefer the pace of your videos. It is more natural. Thank you.

[@DylanSpitz]

You legend, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support and encouragement. Just out here being a human and not a hype machine 😅
