The best camera is the one that goes unnoticed.
It's the one that you forget it's even there.
You only think about the photograph and the rest comes in second place.
And the Canon R... is a camera that
for my line of work, it's without a doubt the best one.
FERNANDO GUERRA ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY
EOS R SYSTEM ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY
I've been photographing for thirty-something years.
I started when I was sixteen years old, in eighty-six
but I've only been doing architectural photography for the last 20 years.
To me, with my vast background in street photography
it made sense to do architectural photography with human elements.
I started by combining traditional architectural photography
with street photography.
I tried to make the best of the unique moment taking place
in that place or that building which will not happen again.
That has always been my focus.
I try to follow what the sun tells me to follow in a building.
I usually start by trying to understand its path throughout the day
and that's the path that gives me the photographs
or that sets the rhythm in which I'll photograph.
I would rather wait for the light to reach the places
I want to photograph. I just have to be there.
I've been coming here since morning and it's only good to photograph now.
The fewer things the camera puts between me and the photograph
the more I like it. I take more photographs or better ones.
I want to focus on the photograph and with this camera I was able to
customise some of the functions I use more in the function buttons.
There aren't too many obstacles...
it's very user-friendly.
One of the new features it's the possibility of having filters
that we can put in the adapter
and suddenly, I'm photographing with a polarising filter
which was rare, I had to put a 24 mm to have a polariser.
Or instead of using this filter, I would use a neutral density filter
which wasn't possible with the 17.
I'm sure I'm going to live longer just by owning this camera.
A year ago, there was this awful reflection on the floor
and suddenly I can, without having to take several photographs
fix everything at once.
I got the 24-240 mm today.
Architecture is also about details.
And the best architecture is the sum of great details.
I'm telling you, this is a very cool lens, very cool.
Sensational!
One amazing thing in the R...
is that we have a rotating screen
that allows me to photograph comfortably in any position.
It's very comfortable to take vertical photographs.
Just being able to take a photograph and to touch it like a smartphone
and it's very efficient. This screen helps me a lot
with guiding, quality, even the resolution
and how easily I can see the focal point at 100%.
This zoom button...
I can easily see what's focused or not.
If I don't want to zoom in 100%
I have this little help here, these dashes
that join together and tell me...
how much time is left.
The silent mode is essential to me.
When you're photographing people, if there's noise
people will become aware that I'm photographing
and it sets the session's own rhythm, that is to say, of the portrait.
Or when I'm photographing someone passing by.
On the other hand, if I want to go unnoticed
it's wonderful to be able to take photographs
in a fully silent mode.
Nowadays, things are easier, they are simpler and that's good.
I will only trade it if Canon releases a better model
because there's still nothing else that...
makes me work better than the R.
