the watch micht have been aquired at the yard 😉 hehe
great video Bryan, thank you! really compelling images indeed!
Not with shadows like that?
Love Brian and the vids.. Cool
Bryan,
Great video as always. I learn a lot from you! Just a small point for those of us who are new– you said the camera should be parallel to the subject, but I think you meant perpendicular. I look forward to your next video.
The world is such an amazing place…thank you for letting us see the unseen.
The Meltdownman
Thanks for the great ideas.
Really enjoyed that!!
where are my bad audio rants?! :))
Wow….again.
good tips once again. anyone else find it a bit odd that he is in a junk yard in Calgary? it’s not the junkyard part, it’s the fact he’s in Calgary. “Lets take a trip to an Alberta junkyard, hmm… i think Calgary would do best.” Bryan Rocks!
i just want to go out and shoot because of this. Keep up the good work!
Brian you are a true artist! Your creativity never ends.
Love him
Bryan is correct but maybe needs a bit of clarification. The camera’s sensor surface (or, if you’re still shooting film, the film plane) should be parallel to the subject. The shape of the lens makes it seem perpendicular, so I can understand your confusion 😉
Perfect !
Amen to that! Who knew?!
Another eye opening video, thanks Bryan.
Who says you can’t shoot interesting images at midday? Not BP that’s fer dern shure!
Wow! Bryan you are amazing! I always learn something everytime I watch you.. Thank You!!
This guy is a genius!
Go Calgary!!!
Bryan, you inspire me everyday!
ok once you get cool images like that, what do you do with them? do you stock them? make big portraits and sell them at a gallery? or just stick them in your electronic archive?
I shoot a fuji S1800 12mp 18x zoom. it has quite a few limitations I am bumping into as I advance my skill. only a low/high aperture mode (and zoom locked) no hot shoe, fairly slow shooter,(.6 sec shutter/1.3 sec large pic continuous/11 sec flash recycle) only jpeg mode.
My attempts to get a shalow DOF have been poor. (1/2000 to 8 sec) F11 at max zoom
Can you suggest to me what may be a good photographic subject for this type of camera?
man..quit saying you wrote those books…we all know it and it’s annoying to hear it every time. just put a link to those books in the video or something
Looks like Junk to me.
Pure Genius 😀
Thank you Bryan and Adorama for presenting this. Bryan you never cease to amaze me in your ways of turning trash into gold. Great piece of work for opening the imagination when taking a stroll and shooting photos. Happy New Year 2012 guys.
i love how cracked out he seems 😀 very good video tho
Very good men, congratulations !! Great Imagination, this kind of video helps to improve the knowledge and the sense to see in a different way. Tks a lot, I admire u.
Another great video. Can anyone tell me please why he used f 32 on the last photo? What differences would it make very low F stops were used? he says that the DOF is only couple of inches, so why go with the large F stop?
Thanx
perpendicular, not parrallel
I think its because with macro photography your DOF is so shallow that you really have to stop it down to get everything in focus. Maybe because of the very bright sunlight coming in he wanted to have that shadow created without having blown out highlights so the shadows were well defined and played part in the final image as well as everything else arranged. I’ve been following his videos for years and he really is an incredible instructor. out of the box thinking for sure.
couldn’t agree more
Great stuff, I will never look at a junkyard the same again!! Thanks Bryan!
DOF depends on the apeture size. That you already know.But it depends also on how far away you are from the subject. The general rule is that (it depends on apeture sizes ofc) that the focus will be 1/3 of the way before the point of focus and 2/3 of the way behind.
So at these small distances the DOF will be small despite the big apeture.
No, he is right. It is parallel not perpendicular. He is talking about the film plane or sensor plane being parallel to the plane of the subject. He is not talking about the lens. In that case it would be perpendicular.
Lessons learned, but as far as the photos themselves, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Great episode. Enjoyed this alot.
having watched a load of your videos, which are great, question; do you always shoot in raw or jpeg?
