Windmills of Holland - Moments In Time Ep 9

[@Karmooll]

Fun fact about the stork above the door of the house at the canal you shot at. Before Napoleon became Emperor of also the Netherlands in the 1800s, we didn't have any housenumbers. Just street names. So people had to decorate their houses in their own way to make their houses recognizable. A lot of people did that in a personal way, showcasing their profession. At the house with the stork, a midwife lived and that's why the stork is there. Of course because there's the story that storks bring babies :)

[@EliaLocardi]

Oh, that's an awesome piece of history then. I had no idea!

You need to include more episodes from every country!! Cant get enough of your series!

[@paullachapelle7477]

Awsome. Thank's Elia !

[@nnix]

Looking forward to Prague. I was there for a week or so in July. I have never been so sick of tourists in my life :P . I was in Paris, Provence, Prague and Munich in July and I think I will never travel to major cities in July again. It broke me.

[@EliaLocardi]

Summer is the busiest time in Europe since most people are taking vacations. Best to hit the shoulder seasons like March-April and September-October.

I found your channel by accident this week, and now i'm hooked and subscribed instantly :) I don't get it why you only have 37K subscribers. The production of your videos look very professional and you explain everything very well. Can't wait to see your videos about the beaufifull city of Prague. Keep up the good work.

[@EliaLocardi]

Hey Robert, thanks for the compliment! TBH, prior to this series, I wasn't really posting anything to KZbin so nobody had much of a reason to subscribe. Now though, I'm very happy you found me. :)

Best series on KZbin right now! Thank you so much for sharing your journey, tips and friends Elia 🙌🙏

[@EliaLocardi]

Thanks for such a great compliment!

[@evslone]

Next time in the Netherlands don't miss Den Bosch. Just an hour's train ride from Amsterdam it is incredibly photogenic, with the most amazing underground boat canals. A photographer's dream, and a fairy tale city with a fun, wry sense of humor.

[@EliaLocardi]

That looks really cool. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@AlanMorrisSF]

What a pleasure to watch. To see what you see when you are out taking photos. To see you interact with people. Much better than strait landscape or travel photos on other channels. And Flickr+Smugmug get it. Well done!

[@EliaLocardi]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@malikanuur4298]

Great video again 😎😇

[@chrishuang8763]

Bum into your channel again. Like how you combine travelling with photography. Saw your photo trip to Malaysia earlier. I do the same. Go travelling, do photography, eat some local food and drink some wine. By the way, I am from Malaysia and travel very often for photography. Yes, always have a bottle of wine or whisky when doing photography. It really helps when you are waiting for the light.

[@EliaLocardi]

The wine definitely helps with photography. ;)

[@dmonaghan99]

Awesome series. So many of my bucket list places. The foggy windmill morning was sublime!

[@bradzaruba9686]

Watched this on a 60 inch screen! Excellent work again. I’ll be in Prague in two weeks. Hopefully, I will see your Moments in Time before I arrive.

Thanks Elia, I think you can add to your bucket list, the Basque Country. More specific Donostia / San Sebastian, I'm going to send in IG some picks, and you can decide later on. Thx for sharing, I keep learning, this is an school that never ends, Love it.

[@thatcrazydutchguy9824]

If you're still in the Netherlands check out the Heatens on the Veluwe, it looks stunning at the moment

[@Fabianvs]

Woohoo!

[@royijpelaar1993]

what a nice time you had in the netherlands. and especially made beautiful pictures, I have a question about that especially at the Zaanse Schans where you have photographed the mills in the fog. Your Institution did that Manual on M-mode or on A-Mode, because how do you know how to choose your correct Shutter Speed in a foggy day? I sometimes wonder that. I always set everything myself from white balance Kelvin colors to a self-chosen shutter speed .. you had different shutter speeds I saw in your settings 1 of 1.8 sec 1 of 1.9 sec 1 of 1.3 sec you choose it yourself or do you let it be your sony choose the correct shutter speed on A-Mode? Furthermore, King's Day was super filmed you make beautiful images

[@EliaLocardi]

Hey Roy, most often I shoot in aperture priority mode which includes all the images shot at Zaanse Schans. The only time I shoot in Manual mode is if I'm working with long exposures and need total control over the shutter speed. Usually this is when I'm using solid neutral density filters.

[@royijpelaar1993]

Elia Locardi Thanks for your reaction

[@husk79]

awesome images and very cool video! Could you make the episodes longer? like 30 minutes or more?

[@EliaLocardi]

We definitely have enough content for longer episodes but we keep things extra fast paced for KZbin.

[@fabienb]

About your blue hour spot... if you had moved only a few steps up the bridge to your left, you would have included a third bridge and the canal would have added another interesting leading line. Perhaps a bit more cluttered, but very much Amsterdam-y ;)

[@plabonkun732]

Cool.

[@jpdj2715]

Next time in the Netherlands, go to Haarlem - about 10 train miles west of Amsterdam to the Frans Hals museum. Frans was an idol of Rembrandt van Rijn and worked in Haarlem that mr. Van Rijn visited at least once. A Locardi with this style of hair and a sense of humor will recognize the portraits by mr. Hals certainly. Hals had more cheerful, jovial expressions in his paintings than Rembrandt who was certainly influenced by austere Calvinism (yet, from a mixed protestant-RC marriage, he never chose either).

[@jamieedwards5144]

You should look at visiting Wales amazing views

[@evenaicantfigurethisout]

It looks like the main difference between the 50R here and m43 (mine is a G85) seems to be the dynamic range. If I wanted to achieve the same look on my G85, how should I bracket and post process it to come as close as possible to Elia's shot?

[@EliaLocardi]

It's dynamic range plus pixel density. You'll notice the difference when you zoom into the full resolution image. Here, at screen resolution, it's impossible to tell.

[@jpdj2715]

3:50 - you really need a tripod to get sharp images of a foggy landscape ;)

[@talltom0690]

I really liked Amsterdam. My only complaint is the bicycles. Picture New York City where everyone is on a bicycle and all the cars are bicycles. Just watch your step, as it seems quite dangerous. I liked it much better at night, when things calmed down considerably.

[@EliaLocardi]

Haha, I totally understand. I always feel like I'm going to be hit by bicycles when I'm walking around as well. ;)

Are you using the TQC-14 with the BH-40 head? If so, how has it worked out for you? Trying to decide between the BH-30 / BH-40.

Great video. The depressing thing is I was only there a couple of months ago. I definitely would have benefited from watching this before my trip. That last shot of the canal and bridges was also my last shot before heading home. I overlayed a few shots to get multiple light trails.

[@SteveBatiz]

Anyone know which RRS legs is he using?

[@EliaLocardi]

A few. The small one is the TQC-14 with the BH-40. That large one is the TVC-34 4-Section with the BH-55 on top. I use both in this first season.

[@SteveBatiz]

Are both of them good for travel? I have a bh-55 on benro legs that f-stoppers recommended. I shoot a x-t3. Will the tqc be sturdy enough? Is the bh-55 too large for that? Also...when are you coming to Southern California, man?

[@EliaLocardi]

I use the TQC-14 for nearly everything, even when I'm shooting with medium format. It's perfect for flat and paved surfaces in nearly every city in the world. I would say that you'd need a larger (more sturdy) set of legs for landscapes and uneven surfaces. Grass, hills, mountains and of course, wind. These elements require a more rigid solution. SoCal? I'm not sure but I'd love to visit San Diego again. I think I'll be in LA again later this year.

[@SteveBatiz]
