Hey, this is Scott of Photography Banzai. Today I'm going to do another photo outing,
what a surprise... right? In this one I did bring, whoopsie, this one I did bring the
Fujifilm again. Gonna give another another chance, and I did not charge it so I brought a power bank.
See one nice thing about the Fujifilm is that usb charging is a is a thing. Gonna try
to focus more on the philosophy of finding things that help you inside help you grow
with photography. This is one of my things, so much about it especially just going out walking
around taking photos is really a positive thing to me. Anyways, let's get started.
Having something convenient for photography is very nice. So small camera. Anything you can just
take, go out do some photo.. pho.. photo-ing.. photography-ing. Why photography? That's what
I've decided on, but do almost anything like this person out here on this lake using a little boat.
They pick something that's enjoyable to them something that gives them a little
bit of fulfillment or whatever else. Enjoy that water, enjoy their little boat. So in my case
the camera is that facilitator to that.
This one's definitely not the best thing ever, and you don't want to expect too
much of the image quality so I've learned. But you could easily just use your phone
or use a straight up five thousand dollar camera, it doesn't matter. This is interesting...
Looks like it shows full battery so I don't think I need to worry too much about the camera,
but I'm going to turn it off as I walk. So there's just no extra drain on it. Besides photography
another thing I enjoy, helps me de-stress, is reading about space travel.. space
science.. all those things. So you can see this hat that I have one of the rovers on mars that
is no longer functional. But it lasted a long time. I don't know if I ever had the ability,
I would be interested in doing something with it. The wind is intense today,
but it's so beautiful. The weather, the temperature.. is just on point.
You can see how low the water is.
Gonna try to get some background blur here.
Find those little things that interest you.
I've been putting time into this Youtube channel since January 2011. There were periods
where I didn't do much. One thing is that I have not stopped. I keep going. Keep putting out
work that I enjoy making. Work that hopefully helps people or gives them entertainment.
Anything positive that they can get out of it, I'm glad for that.
Nice shadow over there!
So you can zoom in here and just pick certain areas that interest me.
As the wind blows the water get an interesting pattern to it.
I'm gonna move to a different area. Somewhere with hopefully less wind and less car noise.
This spot, I don't know if I've ever been to. It's got some beautiful views right here.
See the light coming down through there. This path itself is beautiful.
The
thing is with JPEGs you have to be super careful about your exposure.
After looking at some photos from this camera I do think the HDR mode
does help with close-up image quality like 100 image quality, but you do lose resolution so...
It does definitely help in some situations when you have really strong highlights.
At least right now I'm using program mode with the tracking feature
so I can select my area, shift to the camera, take a photo.
That's a beautiful spot.
Right there.. nice sun coming through. A little curve to the path.
Negative 1/3rd EV composition. Try to really get close to it.
Find situations where you feel comfortable. It doesn't have to be out in nature. It can
be anything. If you want to go take photos in the city, you feel... you enjoy the energy of
the city. Do that! There's a lot of options unlimited possibilities with photography!
That plant with the yellow leaves on it is interesting to me. Just need to find a position
that I really like. So move around a little bit here and there, see if there's anything.
It won't always work, but the point is to try.
So with this one, nice glow from the sun over there. It's hitting those leaves.
Adjust EV compensation. Try to save this bright area.
Of course, this is all my opinion. Hopefully it might help you in some way,
or give you a different perspective. Hope you enjoy these videos. I hope you enjoyed this video.
