Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS Review - A Versatile Powerhouse?
Which of the three lenses you suggest are good for night sky photography?
Night sky photography means you want a lens with a wider aperture like f/1.8 so you can better capture in low light and a medium to wide focal length like 24mm to 50mm to capture the night scene. Out of the three lenses I recommended I would just go for the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as it's relatively affordable and you can use it for other things as well. But if not then you can also go with something with a wider field of view like the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM!
@@natetorresphotography Thank you. Can you recommend a good tripod or a "star tracker?
just bought my first camera, You're like the linus tech tips of cameras i love it
Haha that's the first I've heard that, thank you! 📸
@@natetorresphotography just bought my 50MM lens hahaha exciting!
This video has helped me a lot! I would’ve thought it had millions of views, keep up the amazing content 💪🏽
Glad you found it helpful! Haha yes, someday! 📸😂
I've had an EOS rebel T6 for a few years, and i recently gifted it to my wife who really wants to get into photography. This was incredibly helpful and thorough. I have one question, what would you recommend for indoor sports photography, like basketball for instance? I'd really appreciate any feedback.
Glad you found it helpful! If budget is a concern, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a great entry-level choice (the one mentioned in the video). If you can invest more, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM or the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM are excellent options for indoor sports photography. It also depends on how far she is from the court and if she wants to capture wide view shots of the whole court or really zoomed in shots of the players. If that she will be shooting from the bleachers, the shorter focal length like 50mm will be for wider shots like capturing more of the court and players, the more zoomed in lenses like 85mm will be for more close up shots of players! Just remember that with the Canon Rebel t6 that it's a crop sensor camera so whatever focal length of the lens is times it by 1.6
@@natetorresphotography awesome thanks! I picked up the 50 and now I’ll have to check out that 85! Really appreciate the feedback. It’s been super helpful and you just gained another subscriber! I’m just getting into car videography myself.

Brother I've been watching this video for over 3 days trying to learn them from me. I've been following the biggest channels on TH-cam for years and no one had seen a video as complete as this. If I ever become a professional photographer, I will be eternally grateful.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Yes I'm sure you will become one, thanks for watching!
So, its just a quick way to make those changes (SS/F-stop) without having to make the changes? I see now - that chart makes it very clear. It changes the shutter speed for a given f-stop. I've seen some stuff in 3d field that's indicating something about how our eyes re-adjust to major light changes. Does that have something to do with it in photography? Like when someone shuts the light off or turns it on - it takes a few seconds to adjust in your eyes.
Yes, you've got it! The exposure value (EV) system is a quick way to balance the shutter speed (SS) and f-stop to achieve the right exposure without manually adjusting each setting. The chart simplifies this process, showing you how changes in one setting (like f-stop) affect the other (shutter speed) to maintain the same exposure. Regarding how our eyes adjust to light changes, it's similar to how cameras adjust exposure. When a light source suddenly changes, our eyes need a few seconds to adapt, which is called dark adaptation or light adaptation. In photography, this is managed by adjusting the settings to ensure the camera sensor captures the right amount of light, similar to how our eyes work to maintain proper vision under different lighting conditions.

Hey Anthony I recommend the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM I mentioned in this video. It's a versatile lens that will handle all those situations!
@@natetorresphotography just bought your recommended lenses today, thank you
Many thanks for your helpful thoughts... The kiss by Hotel de Ville is by Robert Doisneau: "Le poète Prévert disait d’ailleurs de cet enjoliveur de l'ordinaire "C’est toujours à l’imparfait de l’objectif qu’il conjugue le verbe photographier."... Bref, Doisneau était un virtuose du viseur qui avait fait de l’obturateur sa plume pour composer une ode à l’existence où se mêlent tendresse, nostalgie et ironie."
Thank you as well! 📸

What about a macro lens

Awesome! Hope you're having fun with it, thanks for watching 📸
The composition of this portrait is superb. There is nothing like natural light for portraiture specially if the film used is the legendary and sadly missed Kodachrome 64. The exposure had to be absolutely spot on since he was using a transparency and no room for mistake. Much of the appeal of the photograph is due to that irreplaceable colour palette of the Kodachrome 64. Although this photographed has stolen the headlines, he shot a whole series of portraits of the Afghan refugees which are all a lesson in how to photograph, and all that without a single pixel in sight.
it's amazing, thanks for sharing that!

Hi! What’s a good wide angle lens? For real estate photography purposes, small spaces. Thanks!
Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM or Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM are good choices!
Thanks so much for replying!!! Keep the videos coming!! I want to learn more about my Canon! :)
Afghan girl Made with an Nikon AI 105mm 2.5 or AIS 105mm 2.5 Lens ?
Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S
Which one I should I get if I want to take pictures of nature ? I’m confused
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 is the most affordable and is good if you want portrait-like shots of wildlife or plants where you want the subject to stand out against a blurred background. The only con with this lens is that it's fixed focal length which means it doesn't zoom and can only take shots at 50mm which isn't that far. The Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L is a zoom lens that can range cover a wider range (24-70mm) if you want to capture both up close and far. Only con is that it's more expensive The Canon EF 10mm f/2.8L Macro is a macro lens which means it's meant for extremely close-ups shots like of flowers, insects, etc. I'd recommend either the 50mm or the 24-70mm. I'd say go for the 50mm if you also plan on shooting portraits as well and the 24-70mm if you strictly want to shoot landscapes and nature. Hope that helps!

From your personal experience do you find that a scrim is necessary for golden hour?
Definitely not necessary but it can be very useful during golden hour if you have one especially if you're dealing with direct sunlight! I don't usually use one as I like to travel and photograph on the lighter side so I'm not carrying a bunch of equipment. I also usually shooting towards the end of golden hour so the light is a bit softer!
@@natetorresphotography I also tend to shoot light on my feet too. I'm about to shoot a short film entirely during golden hour with one PA to bounce light the day of. It's definitely an ambitious project but I'd like to get the look I envision without the use of a scrim. When the sun is strongest, I'll have it behind the subject, and while at its weakest, hopefully, it'll be soft enough for them to face it.
@@silverfascia That sounds like a fantastic project! Shooting a short film entirely during golden hour is definitely ambitious, but it can yield stunning results. Keeping the sun behind the subject when it's strongest and having them face it when it's softer is a smart approach. Using a PA to bounce light will help fill in shadows and maintain the look you’re going for without the need for a scrim. Best of luck with your shoot!
@@natetorresphotography Thanks man! I appreciate the advice!
