This Shoot Was INCREDIBLY difficult! Landscape Photography at 600mm

[@BeckiandChris]

Sorry about the audio between 6:00 and 7:45, wind peaked my audio and I couldn’t save it. An extra challenge shooting in Newfoundland 😅

[@arnavharip7887]

I thought my airpods broke 😂 thankfully it was just the audio

[@WestBoundPhoto]

Before I saw this I was over here trouble shooting my AirPods and bluetooth 😅

[@thechrishau]

HOW DO YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS LOOK SO CRISP! Also that friggen fox photo at 11:45 was so good.

[@BeckiandChris]

Oh thank you Mr.Hau!! ❤️❤️

[@simplejoysmedia]

I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING

[@MakeSomething]

Quick tip. Whenever I don't know how to shoot a particular lens I just watch Becki and Chris.

[@tylerhuttosmith]

Love when I see comments from one of my favorite creators on another one of my favorite creator’s channels

[@dunnadidit]

Great video B'y! Another thing that people should keep in mind with a long lens like this is that the particles in the air get "compressed" as much as anything else in the photo too so if the air isn't super clear, you might notice a bit of "haze" or softness when shooting things super far away.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks b’y! YESS! I had to dehaze most of the photos a little!

[@Kaisolostudio]

That makes too much sense 😅🤯

[@dartthewarrior]

This was so great!!! I hope 80 or 200 comes out soon!!! 😊

[@austinmcconnell]

Congrats on the Streamy nomination!

[@jeffwagner2414]

Your photos with the 600mm looked great.

[@Black3ternity]

I'm gravitating more and more towards my 70-300G Lens on my A6400. Usually I shoot everything with my 35mm F1.8 but so often I find myself reaching for the telephoto lens. On the crop sensor it means it's basically a 100-460. As soon as you break around 250mm on FullFrame it gets "abstract" and you need to focus on details. Textures, Colors, Clouds / Waves and really use the "compression" the lens gives.

[@Outdoor.pixels]

the 12 image pano of the waves was amazing! You killed it!👌

[@VHangout]

former professional sports photographer that used a 600mm often...thought about getting rid of it, but now I see a challenge as well. Challenges are a good thing. Nice work.

[@DanYosua]

Becki: ugh, I'm not so good at this. Also Becki: *reveals banger fox* Haha seriously though, thanks for going outside the comfort zone for this one. Pano trick is super useful and the portrait comparison of Chris was a great example.

[@EoghanBell]

I live on the west coast of Ireland and seeing that landscape from Newfoundland its almost like you could join them together with out much difference. Nice seeng someone shoot landscape similar to mines for a change, Awesome shots and enjoyed this one.

[@joshwhitee]

So stoked to get shooting out there this week!

[@AaronTremblay]

For real though, love these videos and this concept. I’d be up for a multi-person challenge at specific focal lengths if you ever do that!

[@RafalGalinski_drony]

the final effect is great, well done Beckie!

[@Jeelyaqraa]

0:56 this scene is a bit shaky . Is it the A7siii ? Gr8 video by the way ..would love to see something at the very wide end like 14mm or 12mm from Sony

[@Dcrainmaker]

A proper St. John's Double-Double: Cape Spear and Signal Hill, each with two different lenses. 🍩

[@Microscopyenthusiast]

Thank you! These kinds of episodes make me love taking pictures again👍👍

[@TomDixonMN]

Or Sports! Loved that 🙂

[@GraphicMill]

I have that lens and you did an outstanding job of inspiring me. Great shots Becki. I wouldn’t normally take that lens to a location like that because it’s not a landscape type of lens. So your challenge was self inflicted because it was a great lens in the wrong place, but what you were able to produce was outstanding. That truly illustrated your amazing photographic abilities. And the fox, deer and the cardinal shots were what that lens is for and those shots were beautiful. Well done my Canadian friend. I wish you both were back home here in Canada. ❤️🇨🇦 Love you guys

[@brandondivine]

I’d love to see an episode of this series on 105 or 135mm, they are a little more uncommon than something like a 50 or 85mm for portraiture and I’m curious to see what comparisons there may be.

[@garyhanson4133]

Haha now you remember how I feel all the time, but thanks to you and others I'm learning. Reminds me of when I first started watching you guys, when you came to camera camp. I enjoyed this.

[@cinco.lorenzo]

Lovely fox and cardinal images! I think for landscape telephoto shots, the lens really leans itself towards the abstract stuff (though not always), where subject isolation/layers/compression really shines. The location, and moody weather, reminds me of Rachael Talibart's work with waves! Lovely spot.

[@jacobcarandang8618]

600mm panorama with no panoramic head came out clean! I cant imagine myself keeping that horizon level while handling that beast of a lens.

[@BeckiandChris]

It was tough but the tripod definitely helped!

[@snap-n-shoot]

Panoheads are not required for lenses over 80mm due to the compression of telephoto lenses. Parallax nodal points are only required for wide angle lenses.

[@speedbump1961]

Nice video challenging yourself outside of comfort zone. One of the advantages of "that kind" of weather at the cape is it keeps the visitor numbers low enough that they aren't popping up in your photos. ☺.

[@BeckiandChris]

So true!!

[@jsimes1]

Oh wow those panos are great. I normally shoot 70 - 200 for tight landscape stuff never 600mm. I love how you got the motion in the waves in those panos ... how the heck did you stitch them?!?! I never use my 600mm outside of my back yard because it is so damn heavy but I might lug it with me for so challenging autumn photos!! I love the Focal Length Challenge series it makes me think about different focal lengths for different things!

[@tysonator5433]

I use my sigma 150-600 C for photographing the moon, widlife, sports, and landscape. Best on a tripod in live view and just look for composition

[@AmritaBhortake]

Another amazing video in this series! Loved the video and the shots especially those wildlife shots of the fox and cardinal. ❤️ I also liked how true you were to the struggles a photographer can face even with decades of experience.

[@homesmedia]

Some really good shots loved it, I rented a 600mm once & tried to get the city from about 1/2 hr north of the city, the client really wanted to try it & it did not come out all that good but it is always great to try new things

[@raymondthomson9827]

I shot mainly motorsports and wildlife. My 200-600 is probably my most used lens. As you don't see in telephoto I actually struggle with anything under 70mm.

[@alexvancampenhout]

Another amazing video and so so helpful!

[@timcervinsky]

I'm interested to know (and maybe you've covered it in another video) how are you blending the multi-photo shot when you have so much movement from the waves?

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

600mm is one of those focal lengths you really need to commit to. Would love to shoot some Aircraft with a 600.

[@BeckiandChris]

It is! It would be great for air craft!

[@jimmylongo8660]

would be so cool to see you guys try your hand at pro sports. tracking a large subject with a 400mm is an absolute art.

[@BeckiandChris]

Oh god I think I would fail 😂😂 I shot paintball at 200mm years ago and it was a blast but damn stuff moves fast!

[@jimmylongo8660]

@@BeckiandChris definitely humbles even the best sometimes 😂

[@Itsmattycollins]

Next time you’re within 20km of me (and not in a Covid world) I would die to meet you! We’re lucky to be a province that you could probably look out your bedroom window and take a decent picture. Great vid, I’m heading to CS this weekend!

[@AsherPardey]

Ah I wish I could have this lens for taking photos of birds!!

[@JevenDovey]

That fox photo! 🦊

[@Joakimcomicscenter]

Always get inspired to start vlogging when seeing you go places. Hopefully Comic-Con this year!

[@TimR123]

I like this series and this one was the best as you walk through your artistic challenge with the long lens. I did have to chuckle because of two things. 1) My bias is toward telephoto lenses and have to make myself 'see' in wide. (I often don't use my 16-35, but love the images every time I do) 2) I rented an 800mm for the weekend and am trying to figure out how to work that beast. Challenge to you? 😃

[@carlbolterstein]

Recently was in Alaska and brought a 2x for my 300 2.8. Shot way more on it than I thought I would!

[@BeckiandChris]

It’s super fun to have the ability to shoot that long!

[@stevemccrory9130]

A pair of blinkers would give you the perspective of the longer lens - just lengthen the side panels to get the preview of what you'll see through the lens. Preview + practice = perfection.

[@JamieMcEwanOfficial]

These are some awesome shots! Fun to try out new stuff. I've never used a 600mm, but these shots, including of the city, the landscapes, and the fox are so good -- and they make me want a long lens!

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks much! It’s definitely a fun one to play with!

[@jeduardo38]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

[@OTWD_yt]

These are awesome tips 👍

[@wilsonnguyen2153]

I cannot wait for you to do 85mm and 135mm

[@zavadventures]

600mm must be a tricky one but it also has some unbelievable traits such as the ability to catch that epic photo of a fox you did! Wow! There seems to be two types of photographers: those seeing world wide and those seeing world telephoto. Both struggle with the other end of the spectrum ;)

[@michaelpoczynek]

Newfoundland! Hey, hello from Prince Edward Island. 😀

[@MrEddieNunez]

600mm beast mode

[@NickHansonPhotography]

In the hope that I'm not going to get shot down and be seen as a keyboard warrior, I'm will preface my comment by saying I love your channel and watch the videos regularly. For the 600mm I would highly recommend you purchasing a much sturdier tripod and head, as seeing on this video, the PD tripod was wobbling badly under the weight of the setup.

[@derrekord]

Yeah I would not even know where to start with the 600mm. ALSO YEAH NEWFIE!!! We tell people the same thing about the rocks in Nova Scotia near Peggys Cove (DANGER, SLIPPERY, GIANT WAVES)... but folks never listen.

[@jmantooth]

OMG! Super fun! Though I feel you about feeling like you are starting from scratch. I feel that way every time I try to shoot landscapes in natural light. (I shoot mostly portraits and events in crappy fluorescent lighting.) As soon as I get outside, I feel like a bumbling idiot. LOL!

[@TheHawaiianc]

I have Sony rx10 iv trick using 600m is you need move back to get that shot but love it

[@stephenjuk8910]

If you do decide to shoot portraits with a 600mm you’ll also need some good Walkie-talkies!

[@WillPhipps]

Great video as always, from my experience longer focal lengths are great for landscape especially if you are in somewhere like mountain ranges especially if you are further away.

[@BeckiandChris]

Yesss it would be perfect for mountain ranges!

[@matlachapelle3352]

awesome photo!!!!!

[@beezermedia]

You said you were shooting crop for video, was it the a6500? Video still looks so good. I need to use mine more for BTS and VLog stuff.....

[@henrycolestage4249]

Believe it or not, I use the Sony 200-600 lens on my Sony VG-20 video camera! It's great for wildlife, jets, etc. Coupled with the Sony 18-200 lens, I have everything I need with just two lenses. The fox pic is amazing. It would have been cool to see what you could have got shooting him with video. Cheers!

[@thomaswatts9881]

Please make a video on the panorama shots with a camera! Thanks

[@devinleonarduzzi]

What a challenge! Your animal shots here are my favorite. It seems like Sony cameras produce more noise - I've had a tough time brining up those shadows on Sony shots. Have you noticed that at all?

[@mynameisneb]

Hey Becki, can you put a dropbox link or something for the shots you took? Would make for some amazing wallpapers!

Hi I love your challenge serie undertaking just one focal lengh. Well I hope your going on and I kindly recomends you 35 mm what do you think ? Greetings from Bogotá Colombia bye

[@cameraprepper7938]

You can use any Lens for Landscape Photography, but you have to know your focal length as good as you own eyes. So sometimes you have to use one Lens a lot, often the Lens you use the least to get to know it !

[@zeeeter]

How did you manage to make a pano from such a non-static subject?

I was hoping to see some shot with the 600mm from the helicopter 😬👌

[@timzegstroo]

Becki! I can't wrap my head around how the sea came out the way it did in your pano. Logically the sea is moving as you take your shots so how does it look like it was frozen in time? Help?

[@anonymoususer8924]

Do you have any recommendations for stitching these pano's? I really like the one at 4:45 but I don't know how one would stitch together the water so .. fluidly? Idk

[@BeckiandChris]

[@antonyb]

are you using the polar pro mist filter on this or non mist?

As someone that only shoots telephoto, I feel the same way about wide angles. I almost never shoot wider than 70.

This comes out just in the minute I’m deciding if I should get the Sony 200-600 or the Sigma 150-600….I was on the Sigma side first now I’m not sure anymore 🤔😓🤷🏻‍♀️ help?!?! Btw, very cool video!

[@BeckiandChris]

I’ve used both! The sigma is very good as well!

What was the location of this video? Thanks.

[@frankinblackpool]

You want to try shooting 400mm hand held on a Micro Four Thirds camera, with your pet dog trying to pull you along the beach to chase the birds you are filming. I would be absolutely honoured if you took a look at my Turnstone episode. Its only a couple of minutes long. Half of it was shot at 400mm (800mm Full Frame equivalent). Its had a whopping 82 views, so brace yourself for my skills. 😂😂🤣

@@jerrengrimes3708 I will be using a combination of things usually when you take shots like that you take a lot of them then piece them together into a cohesive shot. I'm fairly new at it and I only have a 300 mm lens right now but I've taken some incredible pictures of the moon so far
