Awesome video with great tipps! Especially the one about looking into other directions and details is important! When everybodys photographing the sunset and nobodys noticing the glow behind them.
Hi Pierre, Thanks for having Jerome as a guest he had some really great example mistakes new photographers make. The first mistake i used to do was the opposite, shooting small numbers in every scenario and my photos were very underexposed. Very nice background their in Utah, Thanks for this video. 😃
Just wondered Jerome. Do you need to get a model release for your street portrait Afghanistan photos? Or, are they just classed as editorial and does this apply everywhere? Thank you!
you mentioned level photos - I use the display setting on my camera that has the level so I can get the best attempt at it being level (both free-hand and on a tripod). and cropping, I try to get it right WITHOUT cropping or post-processing (as best my lens can do). the exception to cropping is when I print, the dimensions of the print or frame don't line up with the dimensions of my photo (usually 16:9), and I need to crop or trim just a little bit.
Great video. A lot explained. 👍 Guys, does anyone know what would be a good lens for everyday use for my Canon eos 200d camera ? Thanks. 👍
Hi Pierre, Thank you for sharing this great guidance , Your Kenyan Bracelet is Awesome . I love it .
“How did you see that, we were all in the same place” when talking about noticing the details… I think this is because many people have neurological differences to some degree; information is processed differently, things are focused on differently, seen in different spectrums. Life differences and experiences, different points of view. Otherwise how boring and monotonous would it be if everyone saw exactly the same thing in the same way at the same time.
While driving the I-95 north from Vegas I was always checking the rear view mirror.
What we had driven through was the second landscape.
Be lucky stay safe.
I’ve made all these mistakes and more! 😅. Glad to say I’m correcting most of them and my photography is improving 💪🏼:
some great info
most i already take into account but as a lone photographer im often by myself as nobody else in my group does photography so ultimately i have to use judicial judgement and if i think i have a great shot will copy to my phone for quick editing and send to a couple friends for critique
Very nice brother thank you for sharing this video. I love it ❤
you mentioned sunrise. I did a sunrise shoot last month and was out there for more than an hour before the great ball of fire was fully visible. there was lots of great color building behind the Manhattan skyline. I was in a spot where there wasn't anything else to see and it was too cold to run around, but it was a great hour with my camera and different light/color settings.
So much great info in this. Thank you very much.
great video thanks for sharing!
"Paying attention to detail" - Something I had to learn when I first started photography when there was no digital.
You wanted to take care as best you can to make every shot count because you are going to have to wait a week before you get the film developed - and more importantly burn a hole in your wallet from wasted shots.
You learn how to see what the lens/camera sees - not what a painter sees.
Awesome video, very helpful. Thank you two! 😊
el mejor..!!! saludos desde chile
Thanks for the nice inside. The video you mentioned for the aperture settings (#5), which one is it? :)
mmmm I can't find the link anymore. I found the French version only... maybe I'll have to do a new one!
Great video guys and so so true we’ve all made these mistakes especially when rushing to get the shot 😅
haha right?!
@@Pierretlambert It's a little odd that he refers to the lowest aperture by the number which is actually the largest aperture since it is a fraction ie it's f/4 not f4. The lowest aperture is actually the larger number since it is division corresponding to a smaller hole the light has to go through.
@@Anon54387 yeah it's always a tricky one to talk about i'm aware of. usually we refer it by the bottom number on the fraction so it's easier to know what to dial. Totally not mathematically accurate 1/1.2 being bigger than 1/8 ^^
Salut Pierre, très heureux de suivre tes pas, aujourd'hui ingénieur et je m’apprête a commander un Sony A7IV pour de la photo et vidéo, très hâte de commencer a bientot !
Fantastic video, thank you Pierre 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the advice!!!
Great tips 👏👏👏
This video is inspiring! I have do have one of those aperture f/1.2 50mm lenses and I make the mistake of always wanting to shoot at 1.2 and honestly some of my photos to look silly because I keep the aperture like that.
I love what you two were talking about concerning details. I think some people are naturally detailed oriented and just kind of look at the smallest thing even in the distance. I think you have to slow yourself down and just sit and be patient and just look, see, and observe. It reminds me of a friend of mine. He and I would go on a small photo venture and he will get to taking photos of certain things while I'm taking photos of other things and we compare what each other sees.
Anyways, thanks for this video! I've learned some good techniques as well as things to do and things not to do!
this is something i see in a lot of photography facebook groups im in (the big one has a lot of moms doing family and portrait photography). everyone sees the bokah and wants to shoot as low aperture they can just cause they see other people doing and creating nice photographs but they dont understand why. like how are these people charging money when they dont understand a basic exposure triangle.
@@chrism7067 Honestky that’s something even I need to learn. If you look at my photos I tend to like to shoot with such an aperture but then I look at the photo afterwards and ask myself is this too much?
I think I myself too need to practice when and when not to use it.
@@TheCAG1976 Ive not been doing photography real long but i try to start around 5.6, 200frames and 1-200 iso and make changes from there depending on what i want from the photo.
@@chrism7067not the best way, I think. So, your object of photo is moving? No? Use minimal to avoid handshaking problem and it gives maximum light power, after you choose how sharp photo you want and choose diaphragm. Need more light? Up your iso or use vr lens or camera with it. A lot of light? Just make shot faster and be happy. Photo is not about preset of parameters, is about shooting pics like you want to see, but if you often change parameters to different photo (cat is sleep but make jump and starts chasing fly) is improvement for work with your camera, faster adaptation for your needs. Also auto iso is great help
@TheStopLogic I understand photography and we shoot what we like to see. I'm saying too many people shoot wide open just because other people say they do and yet wonder why half a face is out of focus or why 2 peoplein their family portrait are not in focus
I love jared polins thing where he says get the wides mid's and tights get all of it if you can tells a better story
Best photography tips are here
I'm interested in Pierre's chair. What kind is it and where can I get one?
great video !
Wonder where you got the neat left handed camera in the thumbnail?
A useful video! Nice
Great advice, I see you take photos most of the time with your arms stretched out. First thought I have is camera shake. Do you tend to use fast shutter speeds to overcome. Any comment appreciated .
From the shots that had information attached he was using high shutter speeds generally, but he may have lenses with image stabilisation. The white Canon lenses I think mostly do because they are telephoto, but there are many shorter focal lengths with image stabilisation included from other manufacturers. I was playing around with the feature yesterday, it really does work. I can get sharp photos on my Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 G1 with 'Vibration Compensation' turned on down to 1/4 of a second shutter speeds.
What Sony camera do you use?
Pierre.. if you had to choose one lens for street photography for the rest of your life what would it be? I would pick 85.
Excellent
the crop advice is very helpful , i learn it very late
Glad to hear that!
Duty noted! 😍🥰😊
I broke my rear camera lens,it's shattered 😢
Sad to hear that.... 😢
Commiseration 😢
Sending all my thoughts ❤️
Thank you Pierre!!
My pleasure!
And in what universe is the BEGINNER camera with left hand grip/controls/shutter manufactured?
I mean, this feels kinda illegal to watch for free ngl 😂
Jokes aside, this a freakin masterclass for every photographer out there cause I´ve seen a lot of "pros" making all these exact same mistakes you´re talking about, so, thank you guys so much for such an amazing work, love ya'll
Always look back!
Great work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Pierretlambert Be careful on those precarious perches near cliff sides and long falls. It's not unheard of even for young people to lose their footing such as when a heavy gust of wind comes up or a loose bit of rock is there. Someone fell off a cliff at a national park in Europe because of a gust of wind when they were standing near the cliff edge. No shot is worth risking one's life.
Nice video. Really liked it. But one thing.... whats the name of that chair??? It looks comfortable as hell!!! I need it😅!
haha it's actually not great - looks better than it feels :D
I forgot the name but there was this one New York street photographer who is so keen in his photos his train of thought was to remove distractions in his photos before he clicks the shutter. I've been trying to practice that technique as of late and it has made my editing much easier, less cropping, less removing distracting objects in the frame.
Professor Hines
Love these tips. I recently went to the Steve McCurry exhibit with the audio tour from him, and left disappointed. There wasn't really any context to be found in his images nor in his description. The audio was a bit of a waste of time. I love the portraits he did, but I felt like I wanted to see more of the space or at least hear more about it.
I think the Nat Geo suggestion of f8 is great. I typically shoot my Ricoh GRIII at f4 - 6.3 to try and capture more context as I work a scene for the optimum perspective. Not my perspective, because I don't use an EVF, but more like an ideal angle, which usually means putting the camera in some awkward place. 😂
thanks for sharing! Yeah must be a bit disappointing not to hear more at the exhibit!
Found out on my camera, if you can't shoot ISO 100, go to ISO 400 for best dynamic range. 🙂
Merci BCP
When are you going to offer your next class?? I’d love to take it
email going out tomorrow! Keep an eye out :)
@@Pierretlambert I want to start learning to be a photograph and first time l saw your post I like it
The wrong direction. How about the wrong time? My wife and I drove to Monument Valley and thought, let's camp. We didn't have any gear, so we just put down two moving blankets we had. One on the ground one on top. We were surrounded by tents and RVs. We were completely outside. After the sun went down we watched a thunderstorm in Utah. It was at least 80km away, probably closer to 120 km. Amazing. Then we looked at the stars (earlier on the trip at Roden Crater I took a 30 second exposure on super fast Polaroid and captured two meteors. Huh, that was easy..... it was another 8 years before I was able to do it again. This was of course film, no digital.) In the morning the light was spectacular. Amazing colors. I took some medium format shots, still have them. Then the sun was about to come up, the colors were gone... and all these alarms started going off as we just went back to sleep. It was a photography class clamoring to photograph sunrise. They'd missed everything.
Jay Maisel's assistant complained that he always had to wait with the car while Jay delivered jobs to the ad agencies. Maisel said, You're the lucky one. That's time to take photos.
Of what?? I'm stuck with the car worrying about parking tickets. So the next time Maisel let the assistant deliver the job. Maisel, took a shot of the Chrysler Building reflected in a parking meter. Sold it hundreds of times. You have to think outside the box. One thing I noticed was if I even looked at one of those cheap photography magazines I'd have this desperate need to buy that telephoto lens so I could make a photo like the one in the article of the duck..... I knew better and it still got me. Look at the work of the greats, people you admire. Look at the world. Set yourself challenges. Only my front yard. Often I would set out to completely steal a classic Edward Weston image. After I got done my photo looked nothing like Weston's, so no plagiarism, not even an homage and I'd extended my skills and thinking.
where is the moonscape? what's it called
You deserve 10M subscribers myaan 😢
well yeah it's nout about the gear, but im a beginner and bought x-s20 with my extra money but i only bought the standard lens :/
Hey guys, as a hobbyist photog I can relate to a lot of your tips. I do have one thing I'm adamant about, though, and that is NOT making adjustments in any post processing program. It's just my way of thinking, but once adjustments are made, the image is no longer what was captured which takes away from the "realism" of it. But that's just me.
I am actually just here for all the great photos 😂
❤❤❤
:)
Paying attention to detail is considerably easier if you frame your subject using the rear LCD; as your subject will appear considerably larger on a LCD therefore making it easier for you to notice any potential mistakes which are easily missed when using the tiny viewfinder, this is especially true when using wide-angle lenses.
because chipmunks is what 400/2.8 looking for, hahaha. Thanks, nice video.
When you said never crop your photos and then talked about them being crooked it was misleading. I thought to make the photo level was a good thing and that's what you meant. It just didn't come across that way.
Ad. 5 Cropping is super cool but you guys have a pro setup with 40-50 MP camera and you are able to do good and deep crop. If somebody have a semi pro setup like R6 with only 20 MP crop can kill quality of photos unfortunately.
Watch my video about shooting with the A7SIII at 12MP I think it’ll help!
@@Pierretlambert Ok, I'll see. Do you have any cool advices to totally beginner? I just bought my first mirrorless (Canon R6) with Sigma Art 24-70 2.8 and Canon 35 mm 1.8. How to decide when use a longer shutter speed instead of changing ISO to higher? First I though it's super simple - just use the possible lower /f, set ISO to 100 and just set shutter speed to value that will be fine to get "0" at exposition. After hundreds of shots I think I know less at the beginning. There's sooo many variants and my head is blowing up - too much information and I have a problem to tidy this knowledge. Any advice or just keep shooting photos and skill will come with practice?
One more thing: I noticed that you guys have an exposure like -1 or -2 often so photo should be (and is) dark and I would be mad and sad but your postproduction is incredible and photos looks great. So my point and question: is it all about moment and just a good exposure because everything else can be improve after shot in LrC or other stuff?
9:39 *Anxiety Intensifies* 😳
you should give the timestamp in the comment section
BOKE ALL THE THINGS!!!!
hahha
Actually it's happened to me in video shoots
Number 7 referring to apertures as ‘higher’ or ‘lower’
0:12 if one mistake was to not hose down your camera, I think I got that covered lol.
I got a canon T5
Nice😎 put a nice lens on it and own that shieeettt🤘🏼
@@Metalfreakz17 ok
@@nogooddee1not the energy seeked but ok
haha you guys are funny. Enjoy with your T5!!
But look where you live you have everything you need in the states but camera gear in ireland is very few and far between plus a hole lot more exspencive
I personally hate using anything under F2.8 unless needed. Also one thing is you save more money because you don't have to buy fast lenses...
Right. Many people are so keen to buy a fast lens without asking themselves if they shoot often enough in low light situations handheld to justify it, and even so there is a limit to handheld photography even with a fast lens. One still needs a tripod.
I have all fast primes just because they are usually built better and have better IQ. I rarely, if ever shoot them wide open. I will say in most cases a 1.4 prime at 2.8 will be sharper than a 2.8 prime wide open
Twenty years from now people will be wondering why so little in "popular" photos is in focus. It's selective color just far far more expensive
The Mistake (based on the thumbnail)
Beginner: Takes photos of vehicles
Pro: Takes photos of humans
Mistake #6: Avoiding photoshop at all cost.
I read it as 5 mistakes that PRO Photographers do..
Sony users who hold a camera like a mobile phone 🤨🤨🤨🤨
If everyone’s lenses are pointing in the same direction… you’re all essentially taking the same shot
I am a beginner photographer how can I earn money.. I am 14yrs old??
Sell your camera. That's the only way most of us make money from photography!
@@justamanwithanopinion There's an old joke among farmers.
Q: How do you become a millionaire in farming?
A: Start with $2 million and buy a farm.
There are easier ways to earn money as a 14 year old (and likely any other age) than by photography. Start some other sort of business and keep photography as a hobby and, if one does make some money selling a print here and there, it is a bonus. The surest way to ruin a hobby is to do it for a living.
@@Anon54387 ^ this
Take some basic classes in black and white film, yes film is making a come back. Check out the local tech schools see if they offer any type of classes. Shoot a lot of different types of photos. Look at your local news papers. See the types of photos. That are making the different sections. Have your camera with you. You never know . When something mite happen rite in front of you. Hang out with other news photographers. I was fortunate to meet a news desk editor . Through a friend. Who up on meeting him , said go get me something for page 2. I shot up two rolls of 36 exp. In black and white. He found his shot. From then it was. Working temp assignments. After a month I went staff. That’s when the fun started. I did a lot of sports. While digital mite be all the rage. Film is definitely coming back strong.
Dang that lens is dirty. Bonus Bonus tip.
without subtitles :(
for what language?

Thank you
Is the thumbnail really a left handed camera that doesn't exist??
Jeeze … you do realise how far removed your shooting locations and opportunities are compared to the average hobbyists unless that of course is the market you are aiming at?… you are truly quality photographers, but this video does come across as a little patronising and self indulgent … please try to remember some of your subs simply want to bring the everyday banal and mundane to life (which btw is really hard to do!) and can’t simply jet to the best locations on the planet! 😉
I think all the tips apply to photography anywhere. Obviously their samples photos are in amazing locations but the tips are solid.
Sounds like you're just upset to see him in interesting locations. Things like aperture, attention to detail, etc have nothing at all to do with where they are.
I literally thought the same dude
@@derp195 oh please … upset? 😂. Like you know me and know where in the world I’ve travelled (so you know, extensively actually)… there is no need to be rude or personal, my observation was a valid one yours was just a personal misguided and very poor guess … be constructive, contribute to the thread or just keep your banal thoughts to yourself please.
What a weird take. Their tips are applicable to every scenario and location, they’re just showcasing the best examples. This video wouldn’t be as fun to watch if the examples were tyres in a suburban yard or sweeping panoramas of the local football field.
Pro shouldn’t be paying attention to beginners, beginners learn from pros.
serais mieux de parler en français…. car l’anglais fait vraiment pitié …..! et surtout pas pro !😂
