When Landscape Photography Workshops Go Wrong...

Order My Book? www.fototripper.com/chasing-a...
Pleasing people ain't easy at the best of times, but teaching a photography workshop while suffering constant camera envy is really challenging.
I take a private photography client into the Highland to try and teach him some landscape photography tips, but he seems resistant to my teachings.
Not only does my client Ben shoot with a Leica camera but Chris shows up with a brand new Canon R5. I'm starting to feel inadequate. The Canon R5 not only has a 'flippy screen' but it also rotates, making vertical landscape photography a breeze.
On the other hand, the Leica doesn't even have a 'flippy screen' but that's no problem to serious artists.
Jason demonstrates how to open a KZbin vlog like a pro while we all enjoy the sunset at some spectacular cliffs in Nova Scotia. Thankfully, Ben signed the waiver but there's no way I'm sharing my snacks.
With all of this camera envy, I feel the need to borrow Amanda's Hasselblad but will she allow it?
Perched atop a crumbly gypsum spire I manage to frame a rather tresmendous shot but will the light deliver the goods? What's that silly looking filter system on Chris's camera and can you safely use a Thermacell as a microphone?
There's really only one way to find out.
Thanks for watching

Did you read my Ebook yet: www.fototripper.com/chasing-awe-ebook/

[@richardbellomy5607]

Electronic Shutter Mode on the R5 limits you to only .5 second whereas electronic 1st curtain or mechanical shutter settings allow you to go to 30 seconds. Just the nature of the beast...

[@fromquake]

Really? That’s interesting. The R6 II goes to 30” in electronic or mechanical. Looks like the R6 MKI only does .5”. That could probably be a firmware fix on canon’s end, since the sensor readout shouldn’t be a bottleneck like on the R6, but they will probably hold it for the MKII version.

[@user-nl5tl8fz8l]

I addition to the limit of 0.5 seconds, in electric shutter mode, files are only captured in 12 bit. You have to use the other 2 shutter modes to capture 14 bit files.

[@Jrfeimst2]

Yeah a lot of mirrorless cameras limited the low end shutter speed on electronic shutter. Gotta use mechanical shutter. 😊

[@jordanwheatley602]

Yep. This is it. Go electronic first curtain if you need longer exposures. Also… electronic shutter only gives you 12bit raw files, vs elec 1st curtain and mechanical are proper 14bit raw files.

[@PhilipBallGarry]

That's interesting. I predominantly use ES on my X-T2 and switch only to mechanical shutter where circumstances dictate it (flash sync, rolling shutter problems etc). I wonder if there's a trade off in resolution for this strategy?

[@SteveP_2426]

On the R5 1st Curtain Electronic shutter or fully mechanical is way to get longer exposures. If fully electronic shutter selected then 0.5s is the max. Caught me out initially too!

[@epocketlsaml]

Ben fits perfectly into Gavin's world of awkwardness in nature. He went to the wood with office clothes.

[@fototripper]

[@Feniche17]

5:33 e-shutter has lowest speed of 0.5sec, switch to mechanical

[@DavesEpicPhoneShots]

Excellent video! There’s no better way to learn than when you’re having fun and not taking yourself too seriously🤣

[@view23015]

Great fun group - still astounds me that Gavin doesn’t have 5 million followers… so much work goes into this , always entertaining ( naturally too , Not forced ) and great teaching moments . 1) R5 slow shutter issue answered many times - get it to mechanical or first curtain 2) Chris - get an L-bracket and stop hanging your vertices off the ball head and changing the parallax (?) on panoramic shots and weight shift . I have two Three Legged Thing L brackets for my R/R5/R7 and the RRS one for my R3 . Gavin - keep it up - love the collection of characters - you found Ben from New Jersey who shoots Leica ! - now you just need to find a Pentax K1 shooter . Awesomeness exemplified and here’s to more great fun .

[@fototripper]

One Tampax shooter coming up.

[@peterpage597]

If Chris has focus bracketing turned on, that might be why the R5 won't let him set an shutter speed longer than 1/2 second. Either that or he's using electronic shutter. If he switches to mechanical shutter or electronic first curtain shutter he'll be fine up to 30 seconds or use bulb mode for exposures longer than 30 seconds. (The R5 has a timer that can be set for bulb mode.)

[@davidrspencer8108]

Your R5 is set to Electronic Shutter. Change your shutter to 2nd Curtain Mechanical and get upt to 30 sec.

[@rhodesia1578]

If you want to get the shutter speed underneath half a second then change to mechanical shutter and not electronic shutter on the Canon R5

[@kurts_aviation]

good of Ben and Chris being great sports 😂😂 all that Camera testosterone very funny. Great scenery and Vlog Gavin

[@lynseyvanforeest4887]

‘First comes the flippy screen, then comes the AI sky replacement’ 😆

[@seventhmonk4159]

Electronic shutter will not go below half a second. Mechanical shutter will. Need to change the camera shutter mode in the Red menu, tab 6.

[@MikeNovakPhoto]

Electronic 1st-curtain will also work.

[@rolandrickphotography]

😊 Gavin, no need to be jealous at 17:06, just pick an a7R5 and you get a do it all screen plus you still can use all your Sony lenses 🥳

[@blivieriphoto]

Loving that spot with the waterfalls. Any waterfalls really. Hell, I get all teary-eyed when I turn in the faucet. Lol. (No waterfalls here) Fun video. Thanks!

[@rogerking8959]

I just love these videos. Real people being themselves

[@dave.abernathey]

In order to go below .5 second electronic shutter speed on the R5 you have to upgrade it to the new R5 mark2 when it comes out 😂 or go into mechanical Great video as always Gavin!

[@tonyfluertynaturephotograp5272]

mechanical shutter has the same limit. You have to use bulb mode

[@simonbarnes7124]

Great episode. I leica’d it a lot. Yeah flippy screens are for plebs. True artists bend the neck. No pain no gain.

[@richbowie76]

Nothing beats my Polaroid S30 !

[@-SGP]

I can see I’ve been beaten to it but, Mechanical shutter will cure the time delay issue and give you up to 30 seconds without using bulb mode. Oh and just a little hint. If you use the EV as apposed to the screen to access functions and you can access all functions that way. You can do a whole day in freezing conditions and get a fair bit of video in without any battery issues. 2 batteries,14 hrs and still time to go. Sorry Gavin 😮😊 oh, and when shooting wildlife, the if you just touch the shutter button as it’s raised from the waist, it’s fully awake by the time it gets to the eye. Please try closing the screen. You’ll love it. I was lucky enough to get mine when it first came out and, I still love it as much if not more than the first day I had it. Nothing short of amazing. Honestly, I used what ever camera I had until then and still love photography but the R5 is the camera I’d image having one day for the last 30 years plus. Keep up the good work 😊

[@Brock_in_the_North]

Really enjoyed this one Gavin 👍🏼 Brilliantly funny and Ben deffo owes you £20 for that Drone Sequence 😂

[@nickbristol3457]

This was so fun! What a great group together.

Interesting about the R5 long exposure limit, thanks for the information everyone. Great video Gavin and nice to see everyone contributing to the fun. Composition tips will come in handy 😊

You made the Leica and subscribe joke twice, and I laughed both times.

[@IvanDoherty1]

Fun video as always, it's too bad people cannot enjoy the hikes & views without leaving their mark & trash behind 😢

Amen

[@JasonLorette]

Agreed!

[@merkin22]

Unnatural just how much I enjoy your videos; thanks as always for sharing your adventures and silliness!

[@spikearnott]

Shoot Mechanical Shutter not electronic on the R5 and you'll get up to 30 secs, shoot BULB with longer exposures but there is no cable release socket, use your phone and the Canon Connect app. Uncle Grumpy may help you out he is a tech ..... no just JoKiNg!!!!

[@spikearnott]

@@19Photographer76 true but he has an R5 :D

Great video again Gavin....the a7iv has that articulated screen.....just as well for me at 6'3" tall when tying to get low 😊

[@peterfritzphoto]

Lots of fun! Damn, you’re spoiled for incredible scenery, there. Even a Leica shooter can get a few good shots of a place like that.

[@janisporietis]

Great video! Put a big smile on my face :) I haven't checked this myself, but I heard that the R5 loses two stops of dynamic range when in silent mode. I still love that camera though :)

[@junerobinson8169]

😂😂😂...brilliant video, it cracked me up. Lovely photos as always Gavin. Lovely scenery though

[@Keith19563]

Great video, throughly enjoyed it.

[@memarkmc]

Yep, like several others have said. Change your shutter mode to mechanical or 1st curtain, and you'll be good to go 👍

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

switch to mechanical shutter for longer exposures. Awesome vid, always love when everyone plays along!

[@peterpage597]

Or use electronic first shutter. It's just as quiet and can take long exposures. It also eliminates the vibration of the mechanical shutter, and unlike the electronic shutter it takes 14-bit images, not 12 bit! I really haven't found any benefit to using the mechanical shutter for landscape photography.

[@PhillipMcCallum]

Top shelf great video, some great country there

[@patrickwilliam8060]

I'm going to say this because I know I'm not the only one thinking it. Gavin you deserve your own netflix special.

[@srameypr]

Great video! Beautiful area!

[@HeathenHammer123]

Let’s goooooo!!!!!!

[@WCIN]

I have a question for Amanda…. Is it an ego boot for Gavin when everyone was named on their videos as Ben, Chris and Jason but it’s “FotoTripper Mr GAVIN HARDCASTLE himself”?…lol At least you got a “Miss Amanda”… Behind every married male Photographer is an awesome Lady that allows them the time and money for their passion! Thank yous for the great videos!

[@elwick_photo]

Oh Gavin Gavin Gavin, if you like the tilty flippy screen on the Canon R5..... the Sony a7RV is going to blow your tiny little mind...

[@RichardLarssen]

And the automatic focus stacking.

[@someguy9440]

this is hilarious. I nearly spat out my coffee after that needle scratch when he said Leica

[@graemefryer6227]

Great video. Great to hear a Huddersfield accent! Lowerhouses Lane myself! Have an r5 myself a and can't understand why can't adjust shutter speed to +30s etc

[@robertwhitemoto]

R5's unite !! (& Lee Filters) :)

[@robertnystrom289]

I, too, have a Leica SL2. Not only are the images fabulous, I can rhyme the name! I admit I suffer from severe FSE (flippy screen envy). I'd almost consider a Sony, except I have XXL hands. But then there's Hasselblad! Hmmmm... Great time gentlemen!

[@chrisaquila8328]

He’s probably in electronic shutter mode. Also if you use electronic shutter you lower your bit depth. I only use electronic shutter if I want the 20 fps or I need to be silent.

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff you guys, ps i liked the leica guys pic of the tree reaching down, best one yet 2:35

Hey now! 😂📸

[@mibreit-photo]

electronic shutter ( focus stacking ) -> max 0.5 seconds -> go to mechanical or 2nd curtain ( unfortunately no automagic focus stacking)

[@wanderland_xyz]

Exactly right, 0.5 sec max in electronic shutter on the R5. It also won't do exposure bracketing in electronic shutter mode. Neither are issues with my R7, so hopefully the R52 will remove those shortcomings as well!

[@tonynicolaci3244]

@@wanderland_xyz My R6 is the same as the R5 as far as electronic shutter.

[@gbaines4284]

I saw that fly buzzing around Gavin and my first reaction would be to take a swing at it….. but not in the presence of the Hasselblad!

[@westvirginianlivin9871]

That was awesome. I’m shocked you didn’t go for an epic drone shot.

[@fototripper]

I tried. It wasn't too epic.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Only thing Chris needs now is an L bracket. He's gonna love that R5 once he gets the hang of it. As for that filter system: I still have Nisi V5s. Kase, etc. look good but I'm too cheap to replace a system that basically works for me. EDIT: I rinsed my R5 with a rogue wave the first week I had it. It lived! I hope whoever's camera got wet that it survived, too.

[@fototripper]

How bad was the rinsing?

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

​@@fototripperI replied twice but neither shows. Do you have a blocker set up for mentioning other KZbin videos? Because I cited my own.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Anyway the battery-side of the R5 was immersed in the surf. I acted quickly to retrieve and shut off the camera, remove the battery, wipe it down, and set up a 3-day rice bath. The R5 came back to life and still works today.

[@fototripper]
