FINALLY!!! A photographer who paired the r8 with a rf 85mm 1.2😭thank you for showing vid u can get FANTASTIC results with a underrated body and experience lens🙏🏾

[@jeffburnett9758]

Hey @cropsensorsmatter, if you look at 10:37 mark, it appears the camera has an EF to RF adapter with the EF 85 f1.2, so not the RF version.

[@qh_ent]

@@jeffburnett9758 😭😭😭😭my hopes were so high😂 ehh but still never seen the EF 85mm 1.2 on a u underrated camera body! Thanks for pointing that out!!😂

[@whosyourbrad]

The RF version would be even better! Hope to try it out for you guys soon.

[@whosyourbrad]

The r8 is still kind of new, I feel like it's gonna blow up soon 🔥

[@bigbluerios]

Yep.. I have the r8 and there are not many people using it with 85 1.2 The results are terrific

Thanks brother!

[@thebluebooklife]

Wow, you two are absolutely gorgeous 😍 and the R8 isn’t bad for the price. Good work Sir 🎉

[@whosyourbrad]

Thank you 😍

[@jcn0618888]

WoW so interesting

[@BoReynolds]

He's Great!

[@obidatti-hd4xn]

I would have loved to see what it'll look like when the aperture is increased to the max on this 85mm lens😊

[@dearrellhiggins9724]

Love them ladies, such beautiful people.

[@vijaysrinivasan2225]

Stunning. 85mm is brilliant. Any reason why you don’t prefer shooting at f1.2?

[@whosyourbrad]

at the time I just wanted to show more of the city and not have it completely blurred

[@ludojacobs7846]

Love these videos and the shots! How do you get the pictures to be so good and bright already in camera? Especially because you often shoot against the sun or in the shade.

[@lino4thmr1985]

I think the video is brightened for visibility. (@2:33 min) At f 2.2, and ISO 200, and SS 1/320, we usually can't see anything when it's evening. Even I thought.

[@whosyourbrad]

it's usually fine, you just need to play around with the settings, this was shot at golden hour so it wasn't very dark. Also, thank you!

[@whosyourbrad]

It was still golden hour and a lot of light on the street at that time.

[@jimrobertson2693]

WOW! those girls are beautiful! They really liked being photographed.

[@whosyourbrad]

Yeah, they were such a vibe! More to come!

[@user-ej8ox9zo1t]

Which one do you recommend for portraits/landscapes R10 or R8.Without editing R10 looked much more brighter than R8.Is it better than R8.Please let us know.

[@whosyourbrad]

I would go for the R8, the only reason it looks darker is this was shot after golden hour, so there wasn't actually that much light on the street. In the next video I'll be uploading a day time shoot with the R8 so the Raw photos will be brighter. All of these settings can be changed in camera while shooting so one won't be darker than the other :)

[@knight6229]

So amazing. Im following you.

[@whosyourbrad]

Thank you!

[@Im-user]

good job bravo

Which white balance do you use normally? 🎥

Usually auto, I change it sometimes, but not very often.

[@AnilSharmaphotography]

Those Girls are very Pretty..One can shoot with cheap camera n result will be the same, just coz of the Beautiful Girls.

[@kenduejones]

Seems like you know nothing about cameras. The Canon R8 is one of the best cameras and it's far from cheap, also it's the person behind the camera that creates the photos and is the professional. Just a little info I thought you should know! 🎥📸😎

[@zardosspinosa6944]

No pop to your images, go one better and introduce off camera flash, just looks like a cell phone snap

[@whosyourbrad]

I don't know what kind of phone you have but I want one 😂

[@philipsutton8921]

Even though your photos are great Brad, I kind of thought the same thing 'Zardo'. I'm in Australia and I know the lighting is different 'down under' to Europe, but for all my paid gigs and events outside, I use balanced daylight TTL HSS flash for everything. It's so easy on modern cameras and it makes all the difference in the world. Now and then I'll have a prime on a body as a second camera, but with no flash. When I compare the images to my main camera with the 24-70 2.8s and flash, the images are day and night. When you have it setup properly, you'll wonder why you never did it before. Secret is though, underexpose your flash by 1.7 stops, otherwise the flash will overpower the daylight and it will look too much. I have the negative exposure set in there and you can't tell flash was used, but it just adds so much more pop to your images. Let us know how it goes!

[@zardosspinosa6944]

@@philipsutton8921 agree totally, although I wouldn't knock natural light portraiture, the trick is more so in the editing, see Irene Rudnick, her skills are amazing, but if you see what Brandon Cole produces you can see what I mean about creating the wow effect, certainly in my own experience by reducing ambient exposure as you said of around 1.7 stops and introducing a soft box the results are truely night and day

[@Stuffed007]

A 135mm prime blows a 85mm away all day long in my opinion

[@EverythingCameFromNothing]

The 85mm f1.2 used in crop mode is equivalent to a 136mm at f1.92, so you get best of both worlds the 85mm (albeit with half the resolution by using crop mode, but that’s still plenty of megapixels for most uses)

[@fredriksvard2603]

Until you run out of space, or want to show some of the background

[@udohudoh6793]

It’s an amazing lens but restrictive in smaller spaces. 85 all the way!

[@bigbluerios]

These women are so 🔥. Wow

[@LowRiderFuckYou]

Those are insane photos!!! but lens is expensive asf 😢

[@whosyourbrad]

Thank you ✨️🙏🏽 Daym, yes, 85mm is a vibe
