- What's goin on everybody?
We're doing a little mini road trip.
Look at the camera. (Laughter)
Every time you drive through some good haze like this
pull over and take some shots
because everything looks so epic.
Check this out, we're gonna add a
little bit of spooky music.
(spooky music)
See, wasn't that terrifying?
But check out this lens real quick.
This is a hundred millimeter macro lens.
It's an L-Series, you can tell it's a
Cannon L-Series because of that red strip.
(truck engine roars)
Ohhhh, it blew so much gravel into my face.
(laughs)
But basically, L-Series lenses are Cannon's high end lenses,
and generally they're more weatherproof,
and they're baby-proof.
(banging noise)
- [Host] Way to go Henry.
(laughter)
- They're just generally more professional grade lenses.
They're sharper, and just all around
just better and more legit.
And look at that red strip, looks cool!
And I'm more like, hey these are on sale right now
so pick one up.
(truck engine roars)
But this one specifically is spectacular for its macro.
But when it comes to 100 millimeter Prime
the L series version is not that much more than
its basic counterpart so I'm very curious
it has this guy out.
(truck engine roars)
100 millimeter is definitely not most common focal length
you're gonna be using
but the stuff you can get out of it
can be very, very unique
especially with the macro capability of this.
So, today we're gonna be testing out this guy.
I have the 100 millimeter on my RED right now.
That's the beauty of Canon EF lenses.
You could threw it on most cameras.
You could threw it on Sony Cameras,
You could threw it on the RED.
You could threw it on an Arri Alexa.
I want to see how close I can get this camera
before it gets too blurry.
Oh my god!
You can see a lot!
This is super sharp. You can see every little eyelash.
This is awesome!
Next stop, a half drinking cup of ice coffee.
Ohhh!
The condensation looks so cool!
Everything just looks so cool!
(energetic music)
Let's try out an almond.
No, don't, don't!
Don't eat it!
(tense music)
Fun little fact here, Cary used to work at a jeweler.
The jeweler!
She knows how to look at diamonds and stuff so.
Usually when you look at this
you have like one of those, those
like monocle looking things, right.
- The jeweler's loop.
- A jeweler's, jewelru's loop.
With this lens you guys can also become diamond experts.
(chuckles)
Let's take a look at this diamond row, quick,
and to me all diamonds look kinda the same.
I mean if you were to just show me a piece of glass,
I'll be like, "This is a diamond."
I'd be like, "Cool!"
Is this consonant, we can actually--
- Yeah, you can actually see (car brakes)
- Oh! What's that?
- Someone just got into a car accident.
By looking at this you can be like,
"Oh that's a real diamond."
- Oh, for sure. So that little black spot,
is a small
piece of carbon.
Cubic zirconia, it's almost like perfect.
You look at it and it's like,
perfectly, like crystal clear.
- Diamonds are like people.
They're too perfect, they're fake.
When you work at the jewelry store,
didn't you have to tell people
that their diamonds were fake?
- Yesss!
Yes, it like happens a couple of times.
Where, you know, these, these women,
they would come in to get their diamonds,
they're clean, their size.
We always test the diamonds before we take them in.
Some of them, we tested them and we've,
you know, gently, told the customer that it's not a diamond
and so we couldn't take it to repair it.
And a couple of the ladies, like, freak out.
"My husband spent ten thousand dollars on this ring."
- Ohhh!
- So, - Oh my God!
- Yeah. People do get scammed.
- Another reason why you guys
should have a macro lens is,
before you buy any jewelry, you just be like,
"Hold on. Let me bring in my RED camera
with my macro lens real quick."
- Always test your diamonds before you buy.
- Or else, you're gonna end up in Cary's Diamond Shop.
She's gonna be like, "This is a fakeass diamond."
(laughs)
- Did you just fart?
- Yes.
- And we're back on my apartment. Right now,
we are shooting on the 100 millimeter
Prime lens as we speak.
And its on the Canon EOS R full frame, right now.
In the focal length of a 100 millimeters
where does that kinda stand in the line above lenses?
Well, generally speaking,
if I wanna vlog, I go between ten to 16 millimeters,
because you can only hold the camera out so far.
You still needed to be a good wide angle.
If I'm trying to go for a cinematic wide angle shot,
then I generally go for like a 24.
And then if I'm trying to get like a nice
medium shot then 35 to 50.
But then 85
to 135
is generally my go tos
for close up.
So right now we are on the hundred
which is a right dab in the middle.
So I'm getting a pretty nice close up right here.
The cameras has the nice distance.
But let's see if you have a 24 millimeter,
Then why don't you just take that 24 millimeter
and stick it right up in the actor's face
so that it becomes a close up.
First of all, it's awkward for actors
to have a camera right there, in their face.
But also every focal length compresses space
a little bit differently.
What does again mean?
Well, I'm on a 100 millimeter tight lens
and the space is pretty compress.
I'm on a pretty good close up right now.
If I take a whole big step back
it's not that different.
And you could see there's a wall behind me.
But it's kinda hard to tell exactly
how far that wall is behind me.
A lot of it is depth that you're looking at,
is very much compressed so I can be all way over here.
And now we are on the 24 millimeter.
Notice how much bigger this room is
even though like we're still kind of
in this medium close up range.
So if you're filming like real estate or property,
a lot of times, you wanna use the super wide angle lens
to make that space look huge and just expand
that space suppose to compressing it
with the tight angle lens.
Remember, how earlier, I would just take a one step back
and you still be in a close up.
Because the space is so compressed.
Well here, if I just take one step back,
that same distance, now I'm like tiny in the frame.
It looks completely different.
So if I'm trying to get a medium close up
on this 24 millimeter lens,
I only really have like a foot work
to have working space before
it becomes a completely different shot.
So let's say I'm trying to film
something that moves a whole lot,
with a tight angle lens there's a bigger sweet spot
cause all that is compressed.
Even from a tripod you have a lot more distance
and space to track something.
And another thing to keep in mind
is that with a tighter lens,
you're using a very small portion of the background.
Like so right now, we're seeing all of my background.
And luckily I'm still pointing up.
If you're kinda look down,
you'll see this massive mess behind me.
I have to get that window on the frame.
I have to get that painting,
and all these crap, all over the place.
With the tight angle lens,
you can get the same type of shot of me and just
get like, just this little bit of the background.
Like all these, and all that
and none of that is gonna be in the shot.
Let me show you. Boom!
We're back on the 100 millimeter and check that out.
See, it's still kinda like the general same shot
but the background just looks like its wide up against me.
I mean, generally, you could tell that
further back there because its blurry.
But if I were close down that aperture,
and make that also sharp.
You'll literally look like I'm stuck on the wall
like I'm glued on there.
So obviously there's a time and place for all focal lengths.
But generally speaking, if you're on a wide angle lens
You're getting your shot, and you're like,
"Oh, the background is just disgusting."
And just throw a tight lens on there,
just get all that background all nice and blurry.
And it's pretty hard to get a shot that looks bad.
When you're on a tight lens
like this and the background's blurry.
All you need is one little corner look somewhat decent,
and you can get the shot that look pretty good.
And I think this just like this the artistic look to it.
Like you can just have this lens,
and just film anything you want up close.
And people will be like, "Wow, you're artistic."
Another thing I'm digging about
this 100 millimeter lens is the image stabilization on it.
I'm holding this as stable as I can.
And when turn it on, Boom!
Woohhh!
That's not bad.
Correct me if I'm wrong
but everything I say in this extremely close up camera angle
just feels so important
I don't even have to be talking about anything.
And I just start kinda creeping in some dramatic music and
Oh my God!
What I'm saying right now
is very, very important in a close up.
That's what close up do for you.
But anyways we're back at it.
Another thing I should mention is that
if you have a lens ready
you wanna turn it into a macro lens.
Get some extreme close up shots.
You could also get this tubes.
So this is just a little spacer that you add
between your lens, in your camera,
just fits right there so it
allows your lens to focus even closer.
But keep in mind that when you have these tubes on
You could only focus on something really close.
You can't focus on something further away.
But if you're filming like jewelry or product shots
you're extreme close up texture types of stuff
generally makes sense to have a macro lens.
Or at least one of this spacer
so that you can get your camera
super focus in on that tiny little item.
Now it is time for the reading of the comments.
I'm just gonna leave it on the super close up lens.
Just because everything so dramatic at this angle,
don't you think?
As you figure it was,
the INSTA360 One X camera which is like kinda this camera
from the future that records a full 360.
And you could do all kinds of crazy stuff with it.
I suggest you go check it out.
Top comment was, "We just got the 7 Black
and I love to include in timewarps in out travel videos.
However, 360 videos as well as VR might be
a thing in the in the future and
I hope to keep developing that."
I agree with you. Some of the features
that they threw into this camera it's really
mind blowingly awesome and I feel like
still kinda hard to publish
and consume 360 video and generally speaking,
I still believe a standard video screen
is going to to be king for a while.
But you never know.
It's funny cause everyone kept thinking
3D was good and gonna be the thing of the future.
And then now we realized that
everyone just want to consume
content from their phone like this tiny little screen.
So you never know what the next trend is gonna be.
But yeah, the stuff you could accomplish
out of that 360 cameras pretty unreal.
And super, super fun to play with.
"I want to attach Insta360 to my Mavic Pro."
Dude, I wanna do that too.
I already ordered a mount to mount it to my Mavic Pro.
So that would be pretty cool to test out when it comes in.
"Oh kid, Carl Fredericksen never told you
that it is dangerous UP there on the rooftop?"
Ah, who's Carl Fredericksen?
Allan says, "Giveaways are always good."
Now I have actually a question for you guys,
do you guys prefer the sponsored videos
where I can give away cool stuff
or non sponsored stuff where
I don't have to talk about Skillshare for like 45 Seconds?
When I don't have a sponsor,
it's a little harder for me to just give away
free cool expensive stuff.
For example, this video it's not sponsored.
But if it was I can probably give away this lens
to somebody after I test it.
So that would be cool but I would be so broke
if I kept doing that on non sponsored videos.
Cause whenever I do give away
all the comments are like very positive.
They are like, "Oh, we love giveaways, blah, blah."
But because, because you guys win the giveaway.
But I'll be curious how many of you guys
are actually sitting at home like,
"I don't really care about giveaways,
I just rather have unsponsored code."
I don't know. You guys tell me.
Can you guys do me a favor?
Just take that poll roll quick and tell me.
But I do have a sponsored video coming up.
All of these is gonna be given away
to one person in an upcoming video that sponsored.
So, you know, if you're not subscribed yet,
make sure you subscribe.
"I bought one of those string GoPro bullet time thingies.
It was awesome but yes, difficult to use."
If you guys don't know what is he talking about,
its basically when you take a camera
and just like crank up that frame ring
and swing it around your head.
You can do with a GoPro,
like I talked about in my last video.
If you guys watched my last video,
you guys would know what I'm talking about.
VPR says, "Nipples."
(laughs)
Yeah, do not wear a thin white shirt when it's cold.
Got it!
