I am still shooting Sony, I asked to borrow the Nikon from Nikon to see what it was like. 🙏

[@Opticalwander]

@@68000lucas it’s what they sent me, I didn’t choose it 🤙🏼

[@CharlieAshman]

Hey! great video! pls could you say your settings in th future for some of them

[@Amen20]

My go to camera, love it. Kit lens is pretty good for being kit lens but primes are probably best value glass out there.

[@StanMachineBG]

Amazing video again, loved the photos ! Can you put the settings which you shot at, at every picture you show us, it would be interesting to see them. Imean like ISO, Apeture and Shutter. Thank you and keep up the good work !

[@Juventinos]

to be fair.. london is so well lit :))

[@stovha]

BRO I LOVE YOUR PRESETS, i’m gonna buy them, absolutely

[@alexsurd9628]

I use this camera daily in my work and it is incredible how easy it is to take good photos, Good video mate ;)

[@TheMuslimIntrovert]

Talent, creativity, hard work and exceptional photography!! Amazing inspiration keep it up brother 👌🏼

[@TheNapsterHack]

Thanks for the video!! It would be fantastic if we can know the settings for every photo you have taken. It will help us to learn for example how to make a panning shot (I supose that it will work 1/30th but it is fantastic how you configure the perfect speed setting just doing it one time). In addition, it will allow us to understand how the Nikon Z6 works with high ISOs. Thanks!!

[@KoutarouMosca]

I really need to go on a shoot with you at night in London. This looks fun

Wow, I love how you edited in the photos of that last bus.

Just wondering, do you use auto focus for it? Doesn't seem possible with manual.

@@gqn2 you need to ask Sam for it! Comment on his video (and not by replying me) or he won't see your question. But yeah I think he uses autofocus.

[@2020Viision]

Nice work. I’ve never tried taking a “panning shot” they look really cool! I’m gonna look into how to do these 📸🙌🏽

[@aspected]

Match shutter speed to vehicle speed (1/30s for 30mph, 1/60s for 60mph), turn camera with vehicle and release shutter as you're turning. Think I learned that from Pierre Lambert's channel

[@2020Viision]

@@aspected thanks mate. I searched last night and seen a few for panning photography. I follow Pierre so I’ll go have a look this evening. Thanks.

can u put ur for each photo,it will help for beginner

[@chronicfish]

I remember back in early 2000's, coming home with the first morning tube, after a long night clubbing. A really drunk guy in our circle of friends opened the connecting door to take a piss, only for it to splash back into the cabin :/ .. aaah memories..

[@pix-point]

Which auto-focus settings did you use for the motion shots? I tried it today with my Z6 and the same lens but the auto-focus jumped everywhere else but the subject, being a car, bus or tramway.

[@alwaysforwardyt]

Go to "AF-area mode" and select "Wide-area AF (L)," use the joystick to move the 'box' around or tap on the screen. If you have it on "Auto-area AF" then the camera chooses for you what to focus on. Make sure you're also on "Focus mode" -> "AF-C" and "Release mode" -> "Continuous L" (press down on the arrows and hit "5"). I'm sure you'll get good results with these settings. Good luck.

[@mirafess8462]

Nice video and results, it would be also nice to see your camera settings for each photo. Thanks.

[@PaulSmith-jg1ty]

Very cool video. Really like your pictures, how come nearly all your pictures are shot vertical format?

[@janileino1463]

Great video mate! I just ordered Z6II and can’t wait. Can I ask what format you use, raw or just jpg? Cheers from Finlamd!

[@paulm8157]

Impressive sequence and shoots; running commentary bonus. 👍 “Do you want me to hang upside-down?”😁 Nice.

[@Opticalwander]

😂😂😂

[@yoshimertens]

Okay where to start first?! Those empty streets in London are always surprising me. This is probably the best time ever to go there for shooting without having people in the streets. I think the shots are really on par with the Sony! But those edits/shots in the subway and trains + those at chinatown were so 'sick' and the edits were amazing 😍😁 I can totally relate to the fact of shooting some 'random' photos before I have the creative flow going. It's even the same with video. Just starting, even it's pure sh*t, helps you to find motivation, look for opportunities and gives me energy too! Great video, not too long, not too short 😁 I'm starting to love your POV videos it seems 😂😁

[@luca9010]

[@AshBashSneakers]

very cool video.. always love seeing people using my camera.. wish you could have got to use the 50 and 85 1.8 native lenses they're incredible. You've made me realise how amazing buses look at night.. i need to get out and take some more night shots.. i'm also a tfl train driver so i might have to take my camera to work and take some shots in the depot of the empty trains.. never thought to do that before hmmm

[@Opticalwander]

I will be getting more gear from Nikon to test I’ll ask for some prime stuff in the future as well 🙏

[@Opticalwander]

Also, you should take the camera with you! You have such an amazing Persepftive !

[@lachsoos7387]

@@Opticalwander Alright 👌

[@platinum3181]

How do you handle/reduce noise from ISO at night shots? in LR, without making it so creamy when using NR in LR

[@Opticalwander]

Most noise starts to creep in to the blacks. So firstly using the tone curve you can crush the blacks slightly to help reduce the noice, then with noice reduction you can the re add texture/clarify/sharpness eight he brush took of it make it too dreamy. Hope this helps.

[@platinum3181]

@@Opticalwander will try that, so better over expose a bit if need?

Nikon Z6 Review😎

[@brts2023]

IMO its way better than the Sony - the Sony renders colours horribly , and idk why the Nikon gets a bad name - that lens is the equivalent of a kit lens, and it still performs brilliantly.

[@shotbygilpr2608]

In what mode u shot? P? M? And u shot on Flat?

[@Opticalwander]

Always in manual and i shoot in the flattest profile setting on the whatever camera I’m on. But with raw files to be honest this doesn’t t make much difference.

@@Opticalwander yeah thanks for doing that! Keep us updated!

[@bamsemh1]

I actually find it kind of funny that all low light videos on KZbin, are from very bright towns. That's actually not low light.

[@Opticalwander]

The amount of light available to the camera is still a considerable difference when compared to the day, hence the term low light. Please give examples of what you classify as “low light” and I’ll be sure to go do a video about this comment 🤙🏼

[@the_useless_photographer]

How come people can take photos by the lights with a phone but not a camera? Isn't a modern day phone just a camera that can communicate? I couldn't come to London, my mates would def kick off with these hi vis street nazi's.

Honestly I don’t get it. I guess it come from them not making any profit from it. As the world is centred around money.

[@GLR.VISUALS]

Even if the Nikon was better than the sony in every way I'd still go Sony because you can get cheap lenses for Sony. RF mount and Z mount are still way too new to have affordable glass unfortunately

[@GLR.VISUALS]

@@StefanPacMan yeah you can adapt basically any lens to basically any camera doesn't mean the autofocus works well, because it really doesn't

[@GLR.VISUALS]

@@StefanPacMan an adapted lens will never perform better than a native lens unless you're adapting between two mounts by the same manufacturer, e.g canon EF to canon RF

[@GLR.VISUALS]

@@StefanPacMan if the autofocus is slower then it performs worse... Don't you know what the word "performance" means. Also when I said "basically any lens to any camera" I didn't say all. Of course there are going to be exceptions. But 99% of lenses will work on any camera with the right adapter. Any DSLR lens or SLR lens will work on mirror less. The number of lenses that can't be adapted to E mount is infinitely smaller than the number that can't

[@GLR.VISUALS]

@@StefanPacMan and if the autofocus is slower then in a lot of scenarios the lens becomes useless. Street, wildlife, events, anything with moving subjects required good autofocus, and if it's slower than it already is then it's basically useless.
