Learning your equipment

in Photography Lovers3 years ago

One of important things for comfortable photoshoots is to know your equipment. How it works, where the buttons are and what are capabilities of it.

Underestimating it is probably better the overestimating. But it will probably stop you from taking some photos that you probably could get.

In this photo i was aiming for a silhouette.

Then when i started editing it i realized how much i can get from shadow areas. For this photo i am probably fine with not knowing, but i did not take some photos because they looked to dark for me and i had no additional light source or something to bounce the light. Looking at this, there is a big chance that i could have.

I am still in the mindset of 80D capabilities and dynamic range. Need to shoot more.

This is how the RAW photo strait from the camera looks like.

Both are lovely results!

thanks

wow, such a beautiful silhouette you got with the dramatic look and the color of the sunset.
RAW is the only way :-)

Thanks.

I sometimes understand why would anyone go with jpg but i would rather spend a bit more time in edits and be able to get more from the photo if i need to :)

Same here, even I'm trying to be as much as I can close to the result I willing to have. But sure RAW is very flexible - I don't remember when the last time photographed jpeg.

Oh wow, it's amazing! Thank you very much for sharing!

thanks

Thanks for sharing this. This really is such a good example of what the sensor has managed to pick up still even with the settings used. a really great example :)
Also have to admit, the edited image, to me that looks great, loving the colours and the detail.

Thanks.

it is my first full frame camera and i am still stuck in my old mindset for some things :D

That does pose its own interesting challenge making the move from 4/3rd or aps.c to full frame, but it's going to be second nature before you know it!
Or at least I believe so, I'm still using aps.c here and too stubborn to change formats 😂

my canon 80d went through a lot and only thing that would feel like an upgrade that made sense and i managed to trick my self to justify financially upgrading was R6 :D

Some upgrades i got used to right away, like not really thinking about focus for portraits, i know it will find the eye (i was a one point focus guy from my 600d days :) ), but some things just need first to happen so i know it can do it :D

Haha, one point focus, I must confess I still use that on my K-3 today, even though it has 25 point multifocus points!
Still that's a sweeeeeet upgrade on going for the R6, a real treat!
