@@sarahjun8843 thanks for watching. This will be a different answer depending on the situation. With the tripod in the review it has a ballhead. So your camera would need an “arca swiss” plate or L-bracket that attaches to your camera. Then the camera attaches to the ballhead via the quick disconnect. Hope this helps and if you have any specific questions we can discuss via email if you want. jasoneldridgephoto@gmail.com This way if you are going to make a purchase of something we can make sure it’s all the right parts etc.

@@cryptobeetle nothing on the inside is Velcro ready. You would have to use either their insert or another insert that fits the dimensions.

@@WolfgangWhyte hahahaha! Yeah, I’ve seen his show.

@@jasoneldridgephotography Don't know if he does any camera reviews anymore... changed his online name to Theoria Apophasis awhile back (likely because Ted Kaczynski was taken), and if that's not hint enough, it's not fit for viewing sober anymore really. But back in the day, he gave excellent (though decidedly niche) reviews. Bought a good half dozen lenses on his recommendation alone, and will tell you right here and now, he was right on every single one of the six. But his is a cautionary tale: don't go too deep into strange rabbit holes - the air down there is different; by the sounds of Ken now, the air must have an LSD mist laying low; a psychedelic miasma. Remember the OG Woodstock concert, whose film is still widely available (pretty much everywhere)? I'm guessing Ken whiffed the Brown kind ("Don't take the brown ____. It's not poison or anything, it's just bad.") Not judging. It's his journey, and I'm thankful for the great reviews still available on his YT channel. And to this day, if I'm every considering an older lens, I always take a peek to see if he's done a clip on it. More often than not, he has.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

If the brick and mortar store appears to have tried to get their prices to a reasonable point, I'll buy it there. Sometimes when the difference is several hundred dollars, I might get it online. In the case of this lens though, it will be the same retail price and I will have to pay a little extra for shipping, well worth it because I got to meet Travis! Not to mention he is getting the lens faster than aforementioned "big box" store. Thanks for watching and commenting!

For me at least if the technical is poor enough that it truly distracts from the image then it is a failure. In the instances of this video I do not think what I consider a technical failure is significant enough to matter. My obsession with perfection however, nearly caused me to delete the images. But I love them so.... they say! Thanks for watching and commenting!

They should have thousands of followers. Their show is what we need more of! They don’t always agree but they both make great points. I side with John most often but Cole has some great nuggets and his work speaks for itself! Cole always makes me think about my personal vision. What’s not to love?

​@@jasoneldridgephotography100% agree we have to stay strong in the face of negatives and just keep going

@@ChristineWilsonPhotography it was very applicable!!!

@@ChristineWilsonPhotography I agree! Thanks for coming over and visiting. Cole and John are awesome dudes!

@@blivieriphoto I have many photos where the out of focus areas are clear errors and a distraction, but I never love those images so they stay hidden. I was being overly critical of myself on the two I showed here. I love these images and the soft areas are not distractions, still, I almost kept them out of my portfolio and off social media. But I kept loving them! Hahaha

@@jasoneldridgephotography that’s what pixel peeping gets you. I’d share it regardless. Lol

@@blivieriphoto pixel peeping has its place, just not as big a pace as it gets most of the time. The image is king!

Thanks for watching!!

@@thecoleandjohnshow7236 exactly!

@@thecoleandjohnshow7236 thanks! You might be the only one!

Exactly!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

@@01Dirtnapper you’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

@@droneview-Berlin Nikon Z9 has a native ISO of 64. So do the Z8 and the D850. Thanks for watching.

@@MaxQ2989 you can use the file system already built into the operating system of your computer. Create the folder as you would normally and then just find it as your destination folder. You can also create a new folder from Lightroom by right clicking the destination folder and hitting "create folder" but all it does is bring up your file system for you to create it per the usual method. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@@jasoneldridgephotography thanks for responding! Have a great day!

@@digitdouglas thanks for watching!

@@MatthewHagan-j5e thanks for watching!

It is a new computer! Hahaha

No truer words have ever been spoken…

@@jasoneldridgephotography HA!!!

Correct, you can have the second copy go wherever you like.

@@magetower Thank you so much for answering my question so promptly,

Thanks for watching! You’ve already got the answer. You can have the second copy go wherever you want. This helps to make sure you have a second copy of the original.

@@jasoneldridgephotography Hi Jason, I have watched so many TH-cam videos on LRC , Thank you so much for taking the time to help people like me that are not sure how to get around LRC, you’re videos are simply the best, I have learned so much since watching them,

@@patrickknowles7685 thank you for the comment, I’m glad they are helping!!

Glad you like it and thanks for watching!

I love how you disappeared. I’m thinking I’m gonna use that for Cole!!!!

@@thecoleandjohnshow7236 hahahaha! Maybe he won’t come back!!!!

@@jasoneldridgephotography If all I have to do is click my fingers, I'm in!!! If it does not work, I'll invite you on our show to snap YOUR fingers!

@@thecoleandjohnshow7236 hahaha, sounds like a plan!!

There were a few in color (they weren’t bad) but the black and white was what I felt. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

Oh yea... The ink and be a real beast, especially if you don't print all the time (or so I hear).

I could get a few more inches out of them but there wasn’t a lot of room left. With a heavy coat it would be pretty difficult. The best answer for me of course is to lose more weight. :-) Thanks for watching!

I appreciate the comment, thank you! Everything else fades away with the camera in my hand.

Thanks for watching Oscar!

I finish the image in LrC (my primary editing software) and then move it to PS for focus stacking. I’m hoping one day we get it native in LrC. For now, this is how I do it.

I cannot imagine being in your position but I'm thankful you can put the camera in your hand and escape a little while. There's so much negativity on the internet, I actually did a video on grumpy photographers (th-cam.com/video/7551EIR1UkA/w-d-xo.html) because I see it everywhere. We don't need that negativity in photography. I just turned 50 and wonder where the time goes but I find when I am out creating... that worry fades away if for at least a little while. I wish you all the best and prayers added. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, it means a lot!

Whenever you depend on it to put food on the table that can certainly add a bit of complexity to the situation. It becomes a job at times I've no doubt. Still, sometimes you just have to go shoot for the enjoyment of the process. The hike, the act of creating, being in nature, and simply letting go of everything else. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Excellent! Thanks for watching. I’m looking at Fotospeed paper as well. If I get the printer I’ll get some sample papers from several manufacturers to see what I like. Red River is one I want to try too. I’m just not too sure about owning “Canon” equipment. 😅

Got a pro-100 too and I’ve used Red River papers. I like them well enough. But usually end up just going with the better Canon papers cuz Red River gets expensive after I add shipping.

So much to learn! Hahaha. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been concerned about the loss of ink if I leave it set. That stuff isn’t cheap…. I noticed the dim photos from BayPhoto so I always up the exposure a little when I send it. The photo books has also been on my mind lately though not enough to do the research as yet. Some people do PDF books and while that’s a good use of the photos I’m looking for something more tangible. Something real.

@@jasoneldridgephotography A mentor of mine, an engineer by trade, home printed to improve his photography. He printed his images at around 11"x13" or a little larger and stuck them on his cubicle walls. After spending a few weeks looking at those prints a few times a day he knew exactly how it would take that photo again. What was right about the image and what was wrong. He would remember this next time he was in the field regardless of current subject. He got very good quickly. He always had multiple prints hanging and rotated one out after a week or so. He used to get a lot of visitors to his desk just to see his latest photos.

@@jerrythompson that’s a really nice way to use the images you print. Especially if others get to enjoy what you do as well! I’ve done often wondered if I would become overly critical if I saw the work everyday.

Do you enjoy the printing process? I know I always enjoyed my time in the physical darkroom though hopefully using a printer will be far less time consuming. Hahaha Thanks for watching!

@@jasoneldridgephotography NO!!! But I have figured it out over time. It is much easier now than it used to be. I own an Epson P800... like it a lot. But Cole uses a Canon now... either will be great! GET ONE!!! And then we can swap prints!

That’s a great idea to swap prints! I’ll let my wife know you have approved this purchase…

@@jasoneldridgephotography I'm VERY good at spending others money!

Thanks for watching! I did my time in the darkrooms too. I wouldn’t trade it for the world but I wouldn’t go back either, lol. I think you’re right too, seeing our work displayed as it is meant to be is a great way to help ourselves improve the craft!

You got me thinking about the old days watching the images appearing on the photographic paper. That was the magic of photography.

@@jackbrainassociates8806 it was always magic until you realized you over dodged or burned! Seriously though, it was truly amazing to see that image slowly fade in under the red light.

Are you related to Doug Eldridge from Hayward CA?

@@jackbrainassociates8806no, I am from East Tennessee originally and live in Florida now. I don’t know Doug but he does have a great last name. :-)

It never has been. Maybe one day we will get it in LrC.

I’m glad it’s helpful!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

Hahaha! Me too actually. I see a good use of LR for travel when you just want to take an iPad. Everything else though will be LRC for me. The catalog alone is enough to keep me there.

Oh, and thanks for watching!

The fog was short lived but a hoot nonetheless. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thank you! It was a good day.

I ended up with one of these and a Shimoda x50L. It holds my Z9, 24-70 f4, 14-24 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8 and 100-400 f4.5-5.6. It’s tight but I can do it. I can’t quite fit the same in the Tilopa. Thanks for watching!

In glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

Haha! John and I tried to give the longhaired guest the wrong time for the recording but somehow he made it anyway. I can’t remember his name. Tole Chompson or something like that. Can you believe he ONLY does black and white??

Tole…I think I like it!

Darn, with that long white hair I was going to ask if there was any chance that handsome chap was a Michael Moorcock fan 🤔

@@WolfgangWhyte- No, a Leon Russell fan!
