I was going to... do some photography, but you can see that it is not the best
conditions for a camera that doesn't have weather resistance. So I'm thinking maybe
if I face this direction for the moment I can pull my camera out. I have the Viltrox
33 millimeter f/1.4 and the Canon EOS M5 with the lens filter that is already wet...
Actually, the conditions look very good for interesting photos,
but I feel like I have to use myself as a barrier to this. Oh, wow look at that!
So at the very least, action camera was a good idea. It's just happened
within.. I don't know.. 15 minutes. Glad that I dialed in my settings beforehand,
but with the M5 it's nice because it has those physical dials.
They're kind of small, which is not ideal, but still... with gloves on it does help.
See I'm already getting a little bit of water on here.
It looks beautiful!
Trying to do focus and recompose because I can't really change the focal point very easily.
I think it's just cold enough that we're getting the snow, but
the snow is very liquidy. Which I guess rain would be worse.
Once the snow hits something it melts.
It's not easy...
Maybe if I go into the covered areas that can work better. Don't get me wrong,
I like this. I'm just trying to make it work and deal with the the water.
I do have this thing. I usually take two bags, so one for the mask one for the mask after
being used. Actually I'm gonna I use the other one. It's a lot bigger.
There we go!
Ready for action. Kind of...
Oh no flip'n sensor. There we go!
Look at that, fantastic!
So many nice photo ops...
I don't want to put the camera too far forward. It's gonna get hit by snow.
Everything looks different. Just really interesting.
This actually feels like it's getting warmer or I'm just getting used to it.
Where's my glove? Okay! Just things like this where you've got (snow) sticking to trees that is
beautiful. So there are definitely benefits. I could go in there.
To deal with situations like this I've got three jackets. This main coat. Two hats
with this, so that you got the water barrier and then you've got the other stuff to keep you warm.
So far this baggie is working pretty nice. I guess when you think about it
I wouldn't have had that baggy without bringing masks around with me. If you
wanted to you could use this baggie to get some interesting looks to the edges of the photo...
Let's try it real quick.
I think the biggest challenge is keeping this lens clear.
I would like to do more stuff in weather that's not perfect.
It is just a challenge of equipment in that case.
So what I'm doing here is I'm adjusting the aperture a little bit here and there,
and the shutter speed. Trying to keep the focal point right in the center.
There's one button on the back that I can reset it when it gets off.
Actually in this case I.. I don't know if M5 has something to disable the touch screen.
Okay, it has touch operation disable. Which I'm going to use that. If you're interested
in going out in conditions like this, but you want to use the EF-M system. I do think the M5 is
probably your best bet. It's lower cost used compared to the M6 mark II. Has the full button
set. They're not huge buttons, but they're good enough. At least in this case. You can
disable the touch screen, which I just did. You can use the back dial here for shutter speed.
Top one for aperture. ISO you can use this other button dial combination. Get a baggie
like this.. you know.. whatever you want to do to keep the water away from the camera and it works!
Still got a ways to go.
Okay we're getting close to this lake thing.
The
GoPro is running down on juice. I have another battery on it, but
changing it out when it's wet, probably not the best idea.
That's it for this video. I hope you enjoyed it with the Canon EOS M5,
the Viltrox 33 millimeter f/1.4, and this baggie out in the snow.. surprise snow. And
it was fun to take photos. The gear is still working at the moment. I'm going to try to dry
it off really well and all that, but so far so good. Anyways Scott from Photography Banzai. I
