Another photo outing today. This time we have the 11 to 22 millimeter lens...
I usually use this for the vlogging stuff, but in this case we've got the action
camera to do that. Of course, nature stuff again. It's always pretty easy to
make happen. Let's look around a little bit.
In this case go in that direction
was a lot better.
This is really interesting don't usually go in this area...
It's just so many things here. I could take quite a long time checking it all out...ahh.
With the action camera today we are using 2.7K at 30 frames a second with
"Rocksteady". Using the normal color profile with the D-warp.. de-fishing..
But this time I do have a secondary microphone see if I have to merge that or not.
Some of these I'm just guessing at. Super-bright and I don't want to stick
my face down there...
This is nice! Veeery nice!
This is your one native give EF-M option, it is pretty nice...
I mean, it's not the cheapest thing ever.
And the apertures are not fast, but...
You do have a good amount of quality to it with the images.
There is the Sigma 16mm so you can get a larger aperture
16 isn't that wide. It's not that ultra wide that I'm I talking about.
Even 11 on crop is not super super wide.
Of course, you can always adapt to something, but...
Or buy an old manual focus, you know, third party option. Which there probably
are quite a few out there. Just not super into those. I mean I'd definitely try one but...
It's too far for this lens. The one negative ultra wide.
I'm at 22mm...
I don't know, with 22mm and the crop.. if we can even see him, we'll check later.
See if I can get over there somehow. So in this case with 2.7k I feel better
leaving the action camera running almost the entire time, instead of making clips.
I don't know if that's great because I'm still gonna use a ton of data. But I can
potentially pull out more interesting stuff. In this case, this area would be
good for high dynamic range multiple exposure photos. Might try something but
I didn't bring a tripod for the actual camera. So I could switch it off.
Probably good enought...
Should I use this in the foreground? Or just go over there?
OR...
I use this is the action camera tripod!
So here we've got our bracketing.
I'm going to go back into a screen that I can adjust here.
Put this at 100. Let's do 5.6. So that's our baseline, looks okay.
And then go into the info screen...
This one, we go into here. So you can see these change
the bracket size. And it shows a little icon, which I think
is this one, there we go...
That's a full bracket: negative 3 to positive 3...
It's at two seconds, I think it took quite a few photos. With this tripod as it is, probably a 10
second timer would be even better. So we'll do that.
Because even just touching
it is pretty shaky time!
One reason I'm getting a little deeper these days. It's
because of not trying to be around people. This is a state park, gets pretty
busy sometimes. You can probably hear the cars. There's a bicycle...
Found a path of some type.
That could be a photo, maybe.
That's really interesting. Gonna try another bracket real quick.
So if you have some type of surface it'll work just fine if you don't have a tripod.
This I'll be a good opportunity to set a custom mode for bracketing.
Specifically, because it does take a little bit of time to set it up.
This is one time with the horiz... horizon?
This is one time when the horizon level is super useful.
Something like this, getting the lines straight. At least as far as the
camera thinks are straight. It's a little icon right here for that horizon...
So it shifts when I change the thing.
One thing you can do with a M5 is that when you're on this screen you can use
the viewfinder still, so that's pretty nice...
Putting that into C2. Hopefully it will work out as I expect.
Oh nice, it actually picks the screen you're on too. That is really convenient.
The thing is with the more expensive cameras, at least the M5 was more expensive when
it came out... You do have photographer convenience features. So with the custom
modes, It'll even save what info screen you're on. That way when I set up the
bracket, I left it on that screen. With just the black screen with the numbers
and stuff. So that I can quickly switch from my photo mode to bracketing...
Screens are correct, the settings are correct.. Might have to adjust a thing or two
depending on the scene. But that is extremely convenient. It's quicker, it's
less hassle to get your photos and just enjoy the experience once you understand
the controls. The way that it works. The way you can customize it. See I'm in C1,
on the top here. It's a standard screen. Switch to C2.
It goes to the info screen with numbers.
One thing you can do with your photos is play around with the light. You can see
these shapes here depending on where your camera is positioned, and all that.
How it looks in the scene it can be...
It can be either really nice or not so great.
So definitely pay attention to any strong light sources like that.
When you're walking around areas like this. There's no need to push yourself too
hard. I'm getting kind of dizzy, but as long as you take a break for a second...
The goal of this stuff is to have a good time doing photography, and finding areas
that you enjoy being in. I do the nature stuff because: 1. It's pretty convenient,
it's enjoyable. I get exercise I would probably like to go into the city and
things.. that.. maybe eventually I'll do some of that stuff. But it's a little
more logistical. And finding areas that people won't hassle you. Type of stuff like that.
At least with here, don't generally have any problems. Of course you can
break your ankle or something. That wouldn't be good. Or get attacked by bees.
Or wasps. Or get ticks... so many things!
Thing that I do... I tuck in my shirt.
so... I have boots with pants that go over. I spray like high-intensity bug spray
on my shoes.. my arms, my face, my neck. All the exposed skin areas. And then I do a
sweep around my body. It's just being prepared for going out to areas like
this. In the summertime go in in paths like this, it's a lot more bearable.
Go in the daytime, it's not gonna make any difference. You will get stronger
lights like this hitting in, but if you use bracketing or some other technique.
Or try to avoid them you can make it work.
With my secondary microphone setup I
have the microphone right here, with two little wind muffs.
It's a Sony microphone, stereo one.
And then I also have that recorder here. It's just an Olympus
with the input. Its mp3, it's not amazing but...
A little smaller and easier and I don't
care if I break it compared to the Zoom one.
That's it for this photo outing. Hope you enjoyed it. Nice calm enjoyable photowalk.
