It's beautiful day. Camera is rolling.. Let me check this down. Can you hear me?
1, 2, 3... and I know exactly why I'm saying this. And for those watching my
channel first time my name is Zdenka Darula.
I am a photographer, former model and few other things.
Few days ago I called a friend of mine well actually he mailed me emailed me to remind
himself. His name is Jason and he is this new photographer. He is learning the
trade and he's you know trying to get a more experience pretty much hands-on and
you know these days I honestly can use some help here and there so I responded
back saying. Hey what are you doing tomorrow? Well I wanted to shoot this
intro for my videos with this new camera Canon m50 and so we met halfway in Ajax
Ontario this beautiful beautiful park
Since we never work together I didn't know how much experience he has how much
he really knows so I took photos and videos of him first and we switched he
grabbed my camera and he did exactly the same thing I showed him he took some
photos and videos of me. You know what let's look at some footage I've done of
him small b-roll deep in the woods
And you know we were not exactly quiet the whole time. We were talking lots I
was shooting with this new camera which I have only for a few weeks so I
get home uploaded the footage on a computer only
to find out that there's no sound I simply forgot to push that little wire
from the external mic all the way in. I must have made that mistake. Now I've
been doing photography for 13 years now so I know my other cameras really well I
know them pretty much upside down. This one not so much yet so I've been running
into problems here and there plus I've been doing video only since April 2018
Photography and videography is a very long learning curve. It takes a long
time to get used to the new gear, figured all the buttons, learn all the settings,
realize what mistakes you can make with this new gear. What not to do, what to
avoid. And this is why I don't dare taking this camera on clients shoots. Not
yet. The time will come when I will know exactly where my fingers are going
without double-checking all the time. Then I will pull out the m50 and I will
let my creative mind take over. But not yet. When you have this amazing gear and
you call yourself photographer or videographer and you're simply scared to
take photos of clients or you're just too nervous when you pull out the camera
that you will do something wrong and all the photos or videos will be garbage I
gotta tell you one thing you are not ready mm-hmm
not yet.
You need to get out and shoot as much as you possibly can.
Don't waste your time. Don't look for excuses. Get out and shoot. Figure out all
the buttons, learn all the settings. Train your eyes and creative mind. Learn from
mistakes. The learning curve is really long and you need to know so much. You
need to be focused, stay with it, not to give up. Then you will become the
photographer.
There was this joke in Czech language going around with Facebook few weeks ago.
And so my husband calls me and he says. Come here I want to show you something
but please don't be mad at me for showing it to you. Here's what the joke
said. I'm a writer, photographer, Instagram model and a fashion Youtuber. The other
person says. It's okay, I know nothing too. Well obviously the person who wrote it
knows nothing about those words. Just to name few skills you need to know.
Photography. You need to know how to retouch photos so you need to know Photoshop.
Editing videos. You need to know Adobe Premiere Pro. Market research, marketing,
search engine optimization, writing. Writing your script. There's just so much
you need to know. Well I'm going to quote Casey Neistat here.
Don't interrupt those who are doing it. And you know what I'm doing it too so
let's all get up. Stop wasting our time and let's just create. What did you learn
from this today? Oh I learned some gimbal stuff which was great. So you don't do normally
video right? No I've never done video before. I am more interested in stills right now so that
was a good experience. Good. So sometimes you know you just need
to grab the camera turn it on to have fun with it. Make a ton of mistakes like
like wrong ISO, wrong shutter speed, blown out highlights you name it and
kind of go from there. And once you learn it's a learning process so its important
to never give up grab the camera shoot shoot shoot and
you'll see what you will learn, you will see what he can come up with.
and have fun. yep exactly. Most important thing. All right. See you next time. Bye everybody.
