Hey this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
Today we're going to take some photos with the kit lens, and M50.
Really simple stuff.
I'm gonna do Program mode again.
It's a common theme these days.
A lot of the time especially when it's nice and bright and you're not trying to do anything
like capturing motion blur, stuff like that... works just fine using simple settings.
It's a little brisk today!
see how long I can handle it
Simple combination, works well.
And given that this lens comes with the camera you can expect it to work well in basic auto
modes.
That would be the lens that Canon would make it work well in those situations.
Having a little extra range is nice!
Also using the tracking autofocus mode, so I'll just tap to focus.
These gloves have touch capability to them.
So it's easier that way.
Not the best situation to be using touch anything, but it works.
In these situations would be even better to have something longer focal length, but nothing
on hand at the moment...
The one negative with the tracking focus feature is that sometimes you tap and then the camera
will decide: Okay, let's do something else...
In situations with wind, actually the auto tracking focus is good.
Because if you're trying to focus on some type of tree.. branch.. that's moving in the
wind that helps a lot actually.
That's interesting, the camera saw that little pier thing and that's what it picked to focus
on.
So definitely some intelligence in the focusing system.
It's a little cold today, but still beautiful out... really nice!
When you get into winter, especially in my area..
Northern Illinois, you often just have a.. blight.. like white sky.
So in this case definitely want to use those blue skies when you can.
So in this case I'm going to use the evcomp, exposure compensation, take it down...
So you can either go full automatic, or use Ev compensation to dial in your settings a
little bit here and there.
That way the camera won't try to push the iso too much.
Should we go in here?
Check it out...
It's a little darker than usual, but might as well give it a shot.
Actually, before that... the...
Last time I was here all this was water.
So this thing was underwater, you can see the rust on it.
Get a few photos of that.
It's winter so shouldn't be any bugs to mess around with me or anything.
Yeah, we could also use some video too!
A few clips on the M50.
Don't do that too much these days.
So what you can do is just use this top button while you're in Program mode and it defaults
to I think 30 frames a second.
I have..neg.. yeah, so easy enough!
One touch... look around here.
Of course action cameras, M50, you know... it's not the best dark situations.
Put a little effort in, make sure your settings are good.
In this case using Program mode maybe not the best.
What was that?
I don't know...
So it's nice when you leave it in Program mode, you can easily switch back and forth
with doing nothing!
Easy enough!
That's weird..
huh...
(coughs)
Yeah... (clears throat)
Yeah, try out taking photos of these shadows on the ground...
Oops, it's always something to touch you when not expecting it.
So I'm gonna try to get a photo of this shadow here.
So again, you want to use your Ev comp, take it down...
It's a little bit of interest to the photo.
Good stuff!
Try a little bit more video.
Change the compensation, press the record button.
It's that easy!
Look around here.
See we got, anything interesting...
You can tap your focus...
So if we wanna...
do that we can easily...
I'm a little too close.
Let's try to find some more space.
Let's keep looking for stuff, take photos!
That's a good one.
Adjust my ev comp...
Set focus... let's keep looking around.
Nice view of the path here.
If you want to call it a path.
Here's a really nice... spot.
Let's keep going.
What is that?
Some type of weird flash.
I'm not sure.
I'm gonna switch the camera into video mode.
That's weird...
Right there!
I guess I should check it out...
Looks like it's coming from a hole.
Just use the camera.
That's super weird!
Ummmm, let's see...
(coughing sound)
(muffled) The fuuuug...
(warping sounds)
Things got a little hectic towards the end of that video.
I'm all good though.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Scott from photography banzai.
...Thanks.
