Hey, this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
Back at the water runoff park area. Different spot,
though. I looked at that area to see if the water was still there, and it was
totally covered with snow. It's probably not a good idea to walk around there at
this time. So I'm going to check this area out. There's a nice path back there.
I'm more prepared. I have gloves with the touch capability, two pair. Hopefully these
will work...
All I can say is wow! The trees look amazing. There's ice on the branches and
it's pretty much everywhere. The Sun's still up, but it's coming down a little
bit. So it's hitting those trees...
Looks amazing.
Sometimes use what you've got on
hand. But now I see this and I wish that I had a few more options. I wish I'd
brought a second battery. This one's fully charged, but I don't imagine it gonna
last too long. As usual with the M cameras, especially the M100 and the M50. It's
difficult switching between photos and videos.
So even just a few photos in..
a few video clips in...
I'm having to change the settings every single time. It's even worse on the
M100 than the M50. I said in a previous video...
I've always had like a super not big
interest in this time of year, but the more I see it. The more get out and take
photos.. The better gets.
So the battery is holding up really well.
I don't know how long I've been out here but still shows full charge. Maybe the
M100 is a little easier on the batteries. Even when I'm doing the video,
and I'm doing the photos.
Good to know!
Of course it's not quite as cold or it's not
even nearly as cold as it was when I went out in the -15 degrees
Fahrenheit. I think it's -26 Celsius.
but regardless of that, it's so cold and the battery's holding up all right.
I think this worked relatively well with the touchscreen. It's always challenging
in these situations when it's cold. It's hard to feel anything and even when you
have gloves that have touch capability, some work better than others. Some don't
really work well at all. I don't think I have it enabled on the
super-sensitive touch. I should probably turn that on with the camera, but I'm
pretty much done. So beautiful area. Again and again, I learned more and more that I
need to get out in the winter. Enjoy it. Find situations that really work well
for photography, like this. These beautiful trees. I know it's blurred out
but it's an amazing area. The terrain is really varied. Which helps out a lot.
On a side note, it's actually getting darker in this area, so I can use the larger
(apertures) without any type of ND filter. I didn't bring any filters, but in
this situation once it gets a little bit darker.. It makes the video better and I
can just leave the video settings as they are. I keep looking at the screen,
sorry. So it's one 125th of a second f4 at the moment. I'm using 60 frames a
second just to deal with the exposure a little better. Of course the video will
look home "video apparently". You know, everyone says that. But sometimes you just
got to do what you got to do. I did find a really good spot. This tree has nice ice
on there. Just dripping a little bit. And the Sun was up just moments ago. And I
did take some photos, so I was smart to do that first before doing the video
part, right?
We'll see how the photos turn out, of course. But...
Beautiful spot! glad I came out.
