I had a completely different idea for today's video, but
somehow, I woke up super inspired today, I grabbed my camera and just
started making -or trying to make- images at home
I'm sure most of those are no good, but it was a lot of fun
that's what we're trying to do here, just having some fun taking photos
we came to Goshen, Indiana, we are going to do some last minute shopping for our upcoming trip
that's happening in two days, so excited about that
we brought two small cameras, and just trying to have fun
and shooting random stuff, not trying to create anything fancy
setting it up?
Yeah, I don’t know if I want to...
it’s been a while!
Yeah
You messed up all my settings
Hey, you're messing up my shadow
Oh maybe two look good, come here
open your legs
I can’t, these pants are very wide
There you go
Can you move it down?
What? Oh, the GoPro?
Down! I want to take a picture of you, thanks
Look up!
Look at me!
You’re cute
iIm gonna try to do a slow shutter speed here
The cool thing about this camera is that it has a built-in ND filter
That looks nice
that's kind of cool
Does it look good?
Look at all the leaves! Fall is coming
You take a picture
I think i'm going to try some black and white
Black and white! There you go, that's the way
Which one do you use?
Eeeeh...
I don't think that camera has Acros, it's just monochrome, I think
Yeah
You have to upgrade man
That is the x100t, uf
It’s a great camera!
There are like 10 new models after that onedid i like 10 new
It only has 16 megapixels, Rachel!
It’s plenty for jpegs... actually, is it in jpeg mode?
or do you have it in raw?
Rachel, it’s your camera
You were using it last
Who cares?
It’s in raw, damnit!
Is it in raw?
I’ll edit them for you, you don’t want to edit them
I want to use the jpegs out of the camera
you want my shadow in there?
No! You just ruined it
It actually looks very beautiful
I'm sure it does
Oh, that's cool!
Looks like I’ve faded it, but I didn’t
I'm shooting like really bad exposures
That's good, that's what real photographers do
Yeah!
It's really creepy to take them in wrong exposures
like that, that scares me!
I'm not trying to destroy all the fauna in here
Those were pretty random
That looks really cool, I like that one
You know, 99% of the time I just shoot alone, take the photos by myself
but I love coming with her, because she sees things that i just don't
Sometimes, I'm like: what the heck is she taking a photo of?
They usually turn out pretty good and they are pretty inspiring
I think I learned a lot from going out with her
there you go
You see what I mean? She found a bike, I didn't even see it
That's a chestnut
You can’t eat it, they are not edible here
I love chestnuts!
That's cool, they have a sign for poison ivy
Look, do not touch
Don't touch, don't touch!
You’re touching!
That's not poisonous
But you might be touching it, you probably touched it before too
No, I have pants on
How do you like your fuji?
It’s a great camera, solid
I kind of wanted the black one instead, so it's not so flashy
it's still a good camera
are you shooting manual?
No
Why not?
Manual focus... and then i'm messing with the exposure compensation
Manual focus, that's cool
I don't like autofocus
It's not cool
it's just not, it's annoying, I don't have the control, i want control
Control to mess your photos up?
Well, I can force it to focus with this button
Oh you're cheating, then
No
It’s manual focus, sometimes,
Ok, that's good
Relax, not so stiff
Look as if you're just looking over there, at a tree
I'm just looking over there
Ok, great
I am
Good, keep doing it
should I smile, serious?
Just keep looking... curious, not angry or anything
just as if you were thinking about something
Manual shooting, so cool
but you see, with all that manual stuff that you have to do, you're more worried about the camera than the photo
I mean, they look cool, though
I like that one
I'm out of focus!
I want you to be out of focus
Oh, you can do that?
Look at this little path, so cool, it leads to nowhere
Very contrasty
That's good, it's Fuji colors, though it will...
It’s black and white!
Well, it's Fuji black and white, it'll look especially good
That sounds like, I don't know
Those ones are cicadas, I think
I think down here, I don’t know if those are crickets
This could be a cool photo from the air, with a drone
I need to buy a drone
No
That's kind of cool
Well, maybe it's not that cool
I can see it
No, it's not... maybe underexposing it by like 10 stops, it looks very dramatic that way, I guess
can you hold that? Thank you
see you soon!
For those who don't know: Rachel actually went to photography school
Well, no, but I studied photography at college, yeah
Well, whatever
it wasn't a photography school, but yes, I did study it
but she hasn't taken her camera out for a long time, why not?
I haven't felt inspired for a long, long time
I think that's why today is helpful, because there wasn't a lot of pressure
it was just, come here and spend the day, walk around, bring the camera so it's available
I think a lot of times I don't even bring my camera anymore, it’s sitting in the closet for months
because you need a small Sony camera, those Fujis are too big
this is not big
I’m just kidding!
This is what I always say, just bring a camera with you, don't put any pressure on yourself
just do it for fun
It helped to change the film simulation for me too, because I have
There you go, the Fuji cool factor!
No, I just mean, having black and white in the viewfinder was helpful because I always shoot in color
and I still really like it, but
black and white is better
Well, making a big change like that, it just
it makes you feel more creative
it pushes you, you're seeing things in a totally different way, and that's helpful
Yeah, you're creating something
Guys, shoot in black and white
It's hot!
Not a single cloud in the sky
i got a love-love relationship with power lines
I thought it was love-hate
No, mine is love-love
I don't know what am I going to do with all these power lines, I guess a book called “Power Lines”
There you go!
Anyway, this one is cool
I'm just making this up
it's so hard!
I think I'm making it worse
you almost got it!
Yeah, “almost”
Got it!
All right, so we are in town now
We don't know where to go, what to do, but that's part of the fun, I guess
don't have any expectations and... I think i'm seeing an image...
me too!
What did you find? Nothing?
Let's go through the alley, I love alleys!
Oh copycat, copycat!
Let's uh, let's keep going
Thank you for stopping
Probably no good, but
She gone, she gone!
Oh, that Fuji shutter sounds so good!
Do you like it?
Oh, yeah
Oh, one sec!
That's kind of cool, can you go back a little bit? Just a couple of steps
There you go, there you go!
That's kind of cool
Forward... there! No... there you go, stay there, stay there... perfect
Perfect, thank you!
I don't know if it worked but
Oh, that's so cool
I want to use it as my profile picture
Look at this, this is the police booth
“To protect town from gangsters who might travel along the old transcontinental Lincoln Highway”
And this is the courthouse, I've been here before
It was very different, it was all snowy
I made an image here, of a newspaper in the snow
You never know... it's a cool tree, though
I’ve tried
It smells like bread...
smells so good, like bread, there is a bakery right there
oh, so hungry!
I'm gonna take it too
copycat
No, I'm not, it doesn't look that cool
it looks very cool, everything does
everything? oh, through your Fuji?
yeah
Damn! Damn!
It's getting late and hot, so we're going to do the shopping now, finally
but we'll do more photography later...
or now
Hello, Hairball!
Target shopping, Target!
there you go...
Burger King, McDonald's... car wash!
We’ll just block, we'll just stop...
I've always wanted to take this picture
I passed by here so many times and I see that sign, it looks very cool, so why not?
I've said this a few times before, but if you see a shot and you're driving
I mean, we live here, so I knew I was going to have another chance
but if you are traveling somewhere where you don't usually go, or you don't travel to often
and you see a shot while you're driving, try to stop, if you can do it
if you're on the highway, of course, don't do that
but if you can safely stop, stop as soon as you see the shot, because otherwise the chances that you're going to
go back to that place and actually make that shot happen are very,, very slim
and we called it a day just after that
we had a lot of fun making this video, I hope that you guys like it as well, because we are planning on making
more like this in the future
As usual, thank you so much for watching
and see you in the next one!
Seriously, this is a mess
it's not that hard
it is very hard
I get it every time
Well, I don't
it's not that easy, is it?
Adri, you did this!
Rach, it's easy!
Turn that off right now
