I've been an amateur photographer for closing on 50 years and this show and tell tutorial was a fabulous learning opportunity and represents the best 10 minutes I've spent all month. What, the video is only 5:51? Fifteen minutes is an understatement because after the first six minutes, I've spent time reflecting on photos I've taken which would have benefited from watching this 30 years ago, or ten years ago. Thank you Kevin . . . I've subscribed.

Some of my best shots came off a 80mm lens. But then again, photography is an art, and art is subjective to opinions. I love shooting wide angle (nothing fish eye) and really has it's place when at a crowded event. Nothing more frustrating than sitting back for 10 minutes while people keep walking in your shot.

80mm is great, if you've found something you love that works for you, that's awesome. Thinking about the lenses you use - and being purposeful about it - is the most important thing.

Coming back to this video after a couple of months and I have to say I love your point at 4:45. Back when I started dabbling in photography in college a decade or so ago before resigning myself to the iPhone ecosystem for the past few years I'd keep everything pegged at the widest focal length possible just because I thought putting more things in the frame made for a better contextualized picture, and phone photography has taught me to work around the wider default focal lengths. Now that I've got nice gear again and I'm recommitting myself to learning more, I'm trying hard to default to the tighter focal lengths when composing, and I'm really happy with what I've been seeing. 5:01 is just the perfect sequence to drive the idea home too. Great video!

Hi Pete, thanks for your comment, and I'm so glad you found this helpful! Honestly, making this video has been beneficial for me - just articulating all of it helped reinforce some things, which has helped the shoots I've done since publishing it. With photography, you want as many factors as possible to be "right" - the right time of day, a good location, good weather. But you can't always control those factors, no matter how much you prepare. Part of being a photographer is being able to get powerful images even if those factors aren't on your side - and I think using understanding focal lengths and picking the right one is another tool in the toolbox to help with that.

Awesome to hear this, thanks so much! I have wanted to do a video on the subject of shooting in direct sun, but haven’t yet. If there are no trees it’s going to be tough. You’ll have to make it work with interesting framing and perspective. Avoid shooting *into* the overhead sun, that should make a big difference - even if the sun is high overhead, it still has a direction, so avoid shooting towards the sun and straight into the shadows. Hope this helps!

I've been shooting cars for a while and a couple years ago finally upgraded to a A6300 and after the kit lens the first thing i got was the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (24mm when scaled to full frame) and had been mostly using that and been happy and I'd picked up a 1960's Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 (75mm scaled to FF) I was barely using it for cars due to just being frustrated to wait for a shot. This year I've suddenly had that moment click and I'm using the vintage lens more then ever and with a ND8+CPL it's allowed me to capture much nicer photos and I no longer care about waiting at a Cars and Coffee to get the right shot because when I do it's super satisfying. I was debating whether to get the Sigma 18-50mm next or if i pick something with a bit more length to it and seeing this done make me thing it might be worth getting a longer lens thats a bit sharper.

that's awesome, it sounds like it has worked out and you've found what you like! I like 50mm on full frame but I don't really enjoy shooting wider than that, but it's all personal preference. Cars & Coffee and events are tough because of the crowds, but sometimes it forces you to look for details or crops you wouldn't otherwise notice.

I agree with what you’re saying. However, it would’ve been helpful to reference your focal length to your frame format. A 50mm lens is “standard” on a full frame camera, approximating the diagonal of your sensor / film frame, but effectively longer on a DX format camera.

Do you think this stuff would apply to a car show? I have one coming up later this year and want to take a film camera for car pictures, at the moment I have my 55mm f2, and a 70-200 zoom. But I ordered a 135mm prime lens since I wanted the pictures to come out a bit more sharper than they would with the zoom lens. Not the mention the focusing on the zoom was very sensitive. Do you think the 135mm and a tripod be good for a beginner? I was thinking I’d ditch the zoom lens and just take the 135 and the 50 in case I need something a bit wider.
@capturingthemachine
@capturingthemachine Жыл бұрын
I have a video all about shooting shows and events: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a52pZXihhLyampI A 135 might be too restrictive at an event, since you have to move a lot and it's such a specific focal length. But it might work! Usually a tripod slows me down at a car event, I would rather shoot at higher ISO and be able to move more quickly.

I think 35mm is also a very good focal length for car photography since you can blow the background with a low aperture and also it's wide enough to get some interior shot! I work for a dealership and they really need all the interior detail. Right now I'm shooting on a 24-70 f2.8 but I'm thinking about switching to a 35mm prime for better sharpness and the F1.4!

Have you switched to the 35mm? I'm in the same position as you where I work for a dealership and am using the 24-70mm 2.8 but want to go for the 35 😂

You did a good job shooting the prime focal lengths rather than a zoom lens. People just don't understand that prime lenses yield the best results yet the wonder why their pictures don't end up the same

thank you! It would have been hard to please everyone and demonstrate every lens, but the 35 is the one I get the most comments about that I wish I had included. 35mm isn't bad, and it has tons of uses outside of cars, but personally for me, 50mm (and longer) is kinda the sweet spot for car exterior photos.

Thanks so much! In my Supra video from a few weeks ago, near the end I talked a little about doing an interior shot, and what I did and how I edited it (and it shows the settings). 20mm should be good for the whole interior (cropped or full frame?). I don't know much about Sony's system but I hear great things. Generally, I love prime lenses and found that they give great image quality and teach you a lot about framing and composition. Zoom lenses give you more options and you can work a little faster because you don't have to run around and swap lenses as much, so they both have their benefit. The main limitation of cheap zoom lenses is that the aperture is usually pretty restrictive, like you can only go to F/4 or 5.6, so you can't experiment with a limited depth of field. I recommend renting a few lenses to see what works best for you before you buy.

That's a "for sure" about getting far away and using a longer focal length. I was shooting a local car meet and had packed up my car when a vintage motorcycle rolled in. My feet and my back were done so I dug out the camera on the passenger seat and just rested the camera on the frame of my open window while I sat behind the wheel. Took a few shots since my 12 Mp Canon bridge camera has long reach and left. I now use that photo as my monitor desktop image to remind me what I can get. Like he says, it's not the same thing you saw with your eyes.
