Hey, this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
Here again today with another lens camera combination.
Fujifilm X-A7, 2x teleconverter, and a Asahi Super Takumar 50 millimeter f/1.4, m42 mount.
It's finally getting a little warmer.
Some of the snow is melting...
This Asahi Super Takumar is very very nice for the focus ring, super smooth!
Getting a ton of flare.
There are elements inside the teleconverter of course.
It's a lot of interesting...
It's okay!
Let's see what we got...
The teleconverter adds a good amount of working distance, and it allows me to get closer I
think.
I'm not totally sure, but appears to!
Shooting into the sun with this combination I can tell is not going to be great.
In this little spot I've seen a huge amount of possibilities to take photos, so I think
I'll stick around a little bit.
There must be some type of rock or something changing the water flow.
I am getting some reflection from the sun onto the screen.
A lot of what I'm doing here is just adjusting aperture.
With the light coming this direction I am having some
trouble seeing the screen at default settings.
Angle myself in a way that could see the screen and not block the subject.
As I've said in other videos it's a nice benefit sometimes in the winter to be able to walk
around in areas that are blocked off (in the summer).
Gonna double zoom for this one.
I think it's a nice look with the bright background.
It is challenging not to reposition yourself as you zoom in.
So your framing is messed up once you actually get focus.
These geese...
I keep wanting to shoot into the sun, but I know that it's not the smartest thing ever.
Maybe if I do a vertical I can avoid the snow...
Oh, a robin!
(I think)
Looks like it's finding little bugs.
Super misty looking.
Here's a nice one where the reflection off the water gives it a orange or yellow glow.
In this case I'm gonna really pull down the aperture and the shutter speed.
Here we've got a split image of the ground and the water.
I can see the bubbles come up when I walk around here.
Let's hope it doesn't crack when I'm on it.
(sound of a plane overhead) There's an interesting leaf in the water.
The skies are really interesting right now.
Let's try get a photo of that.
Somewhat beams of light coming in, or I think it might be just the cloud formations.
That bird is still walking around and picking something up.
This is like one of those diagrams that they slice it in half so you can see the roots
and the actual tree itself.
I hope you enjoyed this video with the Asahi Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4, Fujifilm X-A7...
which has been working well so far... and the 2x teleconverter from Kamero, k-a-m-e-r-o.
