Couple of points I wanna make that will help avoid some confusion: 1) I get there might be a job that comes up where you NEED a different lens. No worries. Do what you gotta do. I'm speaking when you're out shooting and it's just for you and you're not being paid, use and commit to using that one focal length for at least 6 months. 2) Monitoring in Black & White doesn't have to be forever, but it really can help you develop quickly. So give it a shot. Not forever but try it for a few months and let me know what you think. 3) None of these things require a certain brand, brands don't matter here. Have a good one, and if you have any questions let me know!
Crazy people have to be told this on this channel. Hey man. I appreciate your love of photography and your camera. Have you heard the shutter sound for Sony α7R V tho lol Sounds so futuristic.
Yeah used it this weekend, not really a fan, but that doesn't mean anything other than personal taste... it is without a doubt an insane camera. @@cesarangeles1699
I'm on an R7 with the cheap RF 16, 24, 35, 50, and the 100-400. When I started out I absolutely loved 35mm full frame and knew I needed the 24mm to make that work with the R7 crop. But now I'm living in Banff and my 2 most used lenses are the widest and narrowest... the "garbage" 16mm with the worst bits cropped out is giving me the landscapes and the 100-400 is giving me the wildlife. The 24mm gets a little play and the 35mm is hibernating until I get back to full frame. I never thought I'd like a field of view so similar to a phone camera but here we are (in the mountains).
We have similar set ups. All I do is take the fixed lens out now. I can’t remember the last time i shot with anything other than 28. You’re so right. You truly get to love that focal length. Wonderful video mate. As always. Rashid
Cool stuff. I only got into photo/video for business. But I liked it. And then really liked it. I was a creative Director/illustrator in NYC for a very long time before moving to Texas and starting my own thing. That's when I had to put on more hats out of necessity. When a client asks for something, "I got it" is my answer. I need to shoot more just for fun stuff like you're doing here. Right now I have to be prompted to get my gear and go. This was good for my head. Thanks.
That’s freakin rad man. It’s been really hard to just shoot for me, but after a near creative implosion it’s been the thing keeping me sane. For me the 1 camera 1 lens principal helps differentiate between when it’s work and when it’s for me too. Get after it big man! Thanks for watching
Hey! Really enjoyed the mood of this video 👌🏻 I don’t see this as a tutorial video, more of a "these are my thoughts on photography and my experiences". I’ve also put my JPGs in B&W just to see the lighting better, it’s really useful. Enjoy your videos, make more like these, it was really good 👍🏻 All the best from Norway 🇳🇴😊
For sure would love more of this. Crushed it man! Throw that imposter syndrome in the garbage because this was such a great little film. Helpful, entertaining, and relatable 👌
I love this! I just got the Q2 and have really appreciated what the limitation has done. It's exactly as you describe: it really forces you to understand that length and it really trains your eye to 'see' in that realm.
Hey hey Mark! Thanks for watching and I hope you’re loving it as much as I have/am. And yeah it’s a big adjustment but it’s become my favorite camera of all time (stills)
Apart from being a beautiful video with great cuts and music, the content was super informative, inspiring and very valuable, man. Awesome shots and super duper B&W shots as well. And this video reminded me a dear dog of ours we just lost last year who looked exactly like yours! Keep rocking!
Ruben, good to see you and I'm stoked you found it informative that's really good to hear! I'm sorry you lost your friend, I can't imagine what I'd do without Henry. But thanks again for the support buddy I hope you have a wonderful day.
You know what’s crazy to, speaking to your 28mm focal length portrait statement….I don’t have very many lenses as a rookie, but dude you can take some cool shots with a macro! I’ve been experimenting taking all kinds of (not close up) shots and they turn out sick!
I love 35 mm focal lenght .. haven't really tried 28 much but do you feel there is a noticeable difference as compared to the 35? I also want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences not only on this video but all the others you have put out there, its fun, its brilliant and its human ... thanks!
I used to be a 35 guy with the Fuji X100v, but yeah moving to the 28 on the Q2 was a pretty substantial change. Now I actually prefer it. Thanks for dropping by and thank you for the kind words:)

Dude this was great! This wasn’t a tutorial. It was a thoughtful conversation about the art of photography.
Man I gotta get better at tutorials then haha. But thanks stud glad you enjoyed it!
Yo this was great! You bring such a calming and authentic approach to your tutorial keep it up man! 💯🔥
Thanks Caleb, glad you enjoyed it:)

Thank you so much Roger and yeah definitely not a tutorial but stoked that you enjoyed it nonetheless
Some great thoughts! Glad I discovered you! I look forward to more of your work. Thanks for taking me along!
Awesome! Thank you for watching Randy.
I loved this Brandon! Please keep posting videos like this.
Thanks my brother, and I certainly would like to.
For sure would love more of this. Crushed it man! Throw that imposter syndrome in the garbage because this was such a great little film. Helpful, entertaining, and relatable 👌
That’s really kind of you thanks Nick:)🙏🏽
@@caffeinatedcameras of course man! Keep up the great work
Thanks dude!
This was such a good video. Topic, story, shots. All of it. My retention: 100%. Also, that SL2 🤤
And normally your retention is that of a 5 yr old so I’m stoked 🤣 just playin. But thanks dude stoked you liked it:)
Black and white for harsh light hours. Unh. That's a keeper tip. Thank you.
I love your videos, beautiful shots and absolutely inspiring, thank you!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you so so much. Pumped you enjoyed it.

Agreed. You start seeing the world in 35 or 28 or 24 ... its weird, but it's true.
Apart from being a beautiful video with great cuts and music, the content was super informative, inspiring and very valuable, man. Awesome shots and super duper B&W shots as well. And this video reminded me a dear dog of ours we just lost last year who looked exactly like yours! Keep rocking!

Yes you can!
Great video man! I need to get back to photography. Love landscape/cityscapes at night so I lean a lot towards long exposure. Great tips though!
I hope you can:)
New sub here! Dude Iam digging your style. More please.
Welcome aboard! I really appreciate it man!!
Good stuff 👍
🙏🏽
The SL2S has the best sounding shutter I've ever heard 😄
Try a hasselblad 500c :)
I'll have to now:)@@akcine

Hell Yeah! Another Leica video. Pop Corn and water in hand.
It's not - Haha Sorry to disappoint but it is a brand exempt video, but I sure hope you watch it and enjoy it nonetheless.
@@caffeinatedcameras great job on the story telling in this video.
🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you sir
This is sick
Thanks Homie:)
why not a zoom, like Nikon Z 24-120 f4, it cover a lot of range.. :) and just one lens..
So I explain it in the video - the point is to get better, not make it easier.
i wish i have leica q2 or q3, they cost a kidney :))
They are very expensive

Of course Brandon. and please be careful with the neck. :). @@caffeinatedcameras
I’m all cleared by the Doc:) so I’m G2G
