I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Kash Kingston i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Ah, so you have done Chichester Cathedral. I hav ejust bought the 7-14mm and look forward to photographing it myself, but not with the current harsh sunlight we are experiencing. Be lovely to meet you down here, Derek.
Thank you for another enjoyable presentation Mr Forss. I hope that you have enough material to keep your videos coming while we are all in quarantine. They are very much appreciated.
I am pleased that you enjoy viewing my productions. Here is the schedule for April: - 10/04 Photowalk Surrey Hills 17/04 Photographing Lincoln Cathedral in-depth 24/04 South Downs, Remembered Plans for May include Exmoor and Heritage Railways. Thank you for getting in contact.
Excellent shots, as always, in both interiors and exteriors. Looks like an impressive lens. I suppose the 9-18 is a "poor man's" (or women's) alternative though there is a big difference between 7mm and 9mm. Also, f2.8 offers advantages when doing interiors. Thanks for turning out these informative videos in these difficult times. I certainly appreciate them and others do too.
Thank you for nice video . For landscapes you have of course 7mm - 14 mm settings to chose from, I have also the 12- 100 Pro lens which is ideal for travel especially in good light. Did some shoreline images in Croatia with 7-14 and was amazed by that extra wide look, although my chosen subject image extended to about 50 feet , also resolution detail and capture of color were perfect .
Thank you Derek. I love the feel of this lens, but I thought that I must have been in the minority about not being too happy with the 7mm/14mm equivalent for out door landscapes. Thankfully the lens allows us to bring outdoor landscapes back to a more reasonable 20-24mm equivalent.
I have this lens and agree with everything you have said about it. I also have the 9-18 mm which I actually use more because of it's size and weight. I really like the Olympus Pro lenses but at my age I find them a little heavy to carry over long distances. My go to kit when taking long hikes is the 9-18, 14-150, and 75-300. I find these lenses cover all my needs and are very light to carry considering the range of focal lengths they cover. I just wish Olympus would put some weather sealing in the 9-18 and 75-300. Thank you for another impressive video.
Thank you for your comments. Have you viewed my programme about the 9-18 lens? th-cam.com/video/MGE1LdEQEwo/w-d-xo.html also 14-150 lens th-cam.com/video/AIVTTRb_Csg/w-d-xo.html
I have this lens and I think it's fantastic for sharpness, detail, colors. I use it mainly for architectural photos and it is very good, also the distortion is very good but not perfect, unfortunately there are no correction profiles for lightroom and I don't know how to correct them.
Thank you for your comments. The programme was produced over two years ago and I recall experiencing similar problems when fine-tuning distortion particularly verticals. In the end I used the manual facility which I found mostly successful and that is what you see in the programme as it exists now.
The scene dynamic range in some of these interior shots probably span more than 14 stops, but they're compressed into maybe a 4 stop image as presented. Are these HDR or otherwise exposure bracketed then fused?
They are not HDR. They are saved to RAW and adjusted in Adobe Lightroom. This programme explains my technique. Thank you for getting in touch. th-cam.com/video/yfCyZ7F0Wbs/w-d-xo.html
I just love your videos and photos! They are very inspiring! Derek, I would like to ask which lens would you choose for your use between the 7-14 and 8-25 and why? It's amazing how similar lenses also have crucial differences. Does it make sense to have both for some practical reason?
The 8-25 is more versatile having a three-times optical zoom. It is lighter and cheaper. Also, at 25mm it doubles as a standard lens without having to change optic. The 7-14 is best for architecturally specialist tasks. I don't really see the need to own both lenses.
Thank you Derek! I've been struggling with this topic for the last few days. They are expensive lenses. I have owned the 7-14 for many years and work with this lens professionally on a daily basis, as a photographer of architecture, houses, residences and apartments. In fact, in my private use and my hobby, I love Landscape and Wildlife, especially birds, which leads me to take my long walks through nature with almost always two lenses, a wide angle and a tele. In my practice, the 7-14 is too short, and that's why the personal debate over whether or not to invest in a more flexible wide angle, although, and even because the 7mm is fundamental in my work and I would never sell the 7-14.
Thanks for the video Derek, you certainly put the lens to good use. I did have the lens but sold it as I didn’t like it, not my favourite lens for landscapes (as you point out it makes mountains look like molehills) but each to his own.
The 7-14 Pro Lens is for architectural photography, not landscapes. I have a Facebook friend whose profession is architectural photography and he uses it the whole time. Whilst it creates dramatic perspectives in landscape, it is often in danger of becoming a cliche and bearing very little relationship to reality.
@@DerekForss How do you find the 9-18, although I do think 24mm is probably my favourite focal length from a visual perspective, I realise that almost any focal length can be useful depending upon what you are looking to do. Hope you are keeping well.
@@bryanspark As I say in the programme, I prefer shooting landscapes with the 12-100, it is far more versatile, especially if you wish to travel light without taking too much gear. Again, I don't use the 9-18 much in landscape for reasons expressed in the programme. Like the 7-14, it works best with interior architecture.
Derek Forss Thanks Derek, I do use the 12-100 but if I’m doing hillwalking I find it a little heavy so if I plan to do Mountains I use the 12-40 Pro instead.

Thank you for your comment. I don't receive the opportunity to try different lenses and cameras of other makes, therefore I am not in a position to answer your query. I have found the 7-14 Pro Lens good enough for my own professional work producing images good enough for commercial reproduction. That is my benchmark for any gear I use.

Dear Derek, your photos inspired me. Thank you again.
Thank you, I do feel that the 7-14 lens is best suited for interiors and I am pleased that you have enjoyed the programme. Best wishes.
Thank you Derek ! Beautiful images!
Glad you like them!

Derek Forss I did see the one on the 19-18 but not the 14-150. I'm going to look for it now.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful images. Does this mean you've abandoned use of the adapted 9-18mm?
No, I still have the 9-18. Thank you for your comment.
I shoot Olympus
And have an x-t3 ive read that the fuji 10-24mm is sharper than the Olympus 7-14mm
