👉 Quick question - what's your favorite focal length and why?
For landscape, I find myself using the focal length of 35 mm (full frame equivalent), because: any distortion looks natural, as our eyes would see it, it’s a great focal length to get a compromise of being near enough to a isolated image subject, and not too wide to include too much clutter, drawing the eye away from the subject. And as you said, getting too near to a subject, gives the effect of the subject being much too large, in relation to the environment, if you use a wide or super wide angle lens.
For portraits, I use 75-135 mm, preferably around 105 mm, to get a nice compression which makes proportions of the body look natural. Face-only shots are taken using f 4.5 or a larger value (smaller aperture opening), as to get a proper balance of focus between the eyes and ears and the rest of the head.
probably 16mm (24 equiv). But I also like going super-wide (10-12mm)
If I had to pick one focal length, I would probably go for 60mm (120mm FF equivalent) on my MFT system. I shoot a lot woodland and nature close-ups and this focal length is great in so many situations. In general, I reckon I shoot 95% of my images in range of 40mm to 300mm (FF equivalent), so not a lot at the wide angle stuff. The two situations where I do like to use wide angle lenses is where you are working in a very enclosed environment such as a slot canyon or in big landscapes where you have close foreground interest.
16-35mm
I love google subtitles, "I've just spotted a few killer moths down here nesting..." XD
Nice video.
ha ha, 🤣🤣
I have just brought the 14mm prime lens for my cannon, I’m heading to base camp MT Everest!!!! Hopping to get the 1 photo of then many peaks of the mountains, but I am only a beginner. Love the video thank you
Ian, good suggestions and examples of how subtle adjustments render different perspective.
Whatever I need to frame what I want to frame, but the go to starting point is 24mm on the 24-70 then I adjust to whatever the composition demands. Either by my feet, or zooming in.
If 24 is not wide enough I grab my 14mm.
But as my first AF 70-200 is on the way I suspect that is going to to bet the craze this spring.
TY! Great stuff!
Brilliant video. Excellent tips and super photos. Thanks so much.
The tips and info you convey are exactly what I've been looking for! I got really into bird and wildlife photography a year ago but recently realized I would like to photograph more than just animals. Really appreciate your photographic perspective and your knowledge.
Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure! 👍👍
Great Channel! Thanks Ian and greetings from germany. Keep going please…
Good tips, Ian. Keep up the good work.
Thanks David 👍🙏🙏
Thanks for the great information and tips! That last shot is incredibly beautiful!
Thanks Jim 🙏🙏👍
Very good information, thanks, Ian.
Thanks for watching David 🙏🙏🙏
Hi very nice video. Can U tell what camera bag is that pls
Useful information. Thank you Ian! Nice compositions too.
Many thanks, John 👍👍
Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
You're welcome 😊👍👍
Another good way of getting rid of the darker areas, particularly when you want to keep the drama of the sky, is to reshoot the image with the polarizer turned 45° to darken the other corner of the image and blend those skies in post.
Some very helpful advices, Thanks!
You're very welcome 🙏🙏
Another great video... I'm always impressed with how well you convey topics/advice. The image examples with notations were extremely helpful. I took some good notes from this one!
Thanks as always Kevin, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos 😊👍👍🙏
Well done - Thank You
Cheers buddy 👍👍
Ian, the geological formation of those cliffs are amazing !! Wow what a place.
Thanks Robert, yes its a special place, so much wildlife too👍
Great film Ian, you clearly understand using wide angle lenses! To great effect I might add! 👏😀👍
Thanks buddy 👍👍
Super video, best dam video you have put out in a long while, Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful pictures also!!!!
Thanks Johnny, that means a lot buddy 🙏🙏👍
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I’ve just come back from a wide angle shoot. While the overall experience was brilliant, I was a little underwhelmed by most of my images. There’s some great food for creative thought here. I think, now, I understand where I can improve on some techniques and where I was going wrong. Again, thanks.
Thanks Bruce, i'm glad you found the video helpful👍👍
Great video. I like youre easy style of bringen the information. It's a bit like my own channel I guess 😅 great photos and examples. Grt guido
Cracking video. Cheers
Thanks Paul 👍👍
My Sigma 24-70 is my go to lens for most landscape work. For me, its the perfect balance between "too" wide and forces me to concentrate on the composition while giving enough reach to focus in on a specific area of interest. It doesnt hurt that its a painfully clear set of glass too :)
yeah, sigma glass is great. 👍👍
Is this in a FF camera?
FINALLY a photography video on youtube that does not contain 90% of B-ROLL and bullshit. THANK YOU! I'll subscribe for sure
Thanks buddy, much appreciated 👍👍
You mentioned a problem with stretched corners. There is an answer for this for landscapes that have neither man made buildings or horizons (waterfalls come to mind). That is the fisheye. In many cases this is too extreme but using a longer (16mm) fisheye on APS-C can look more 'normal' than one with the stretched corners needed to be rectilinear. Modern sensors with what one might call 'excessive' megapixels do allow some room for cropping or adding/removing distortions. Favorite focal length? Impossible question. I might say 16mm from my 16-35 zoom since I have both an APS-C and FF body covering a lot of range with one lens. Part of me would like one of the 9mm options that covers FF but that is really unlikely to come up often in what I do.
I am very glad that TH-cam suggested your channel to me a few days ago.
Although you obviously have one or the other Fuji theme (I have a Canon R5), you still manage to make your videos interessant for everyone.
Of course I've already seen your R5 videos.
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate you watching, all camera brands welcome here 😊👍👍
great tips!
Thanks Brian
Another great video Ian. A lesson I learned when I used my first wide angle lens. The wider the angle lens is not always the best choice with so much in view and can lose impact. I spent a while when I started using Fujifilm from Canon 5D not using tripod and my photography and creativity I felt improved. Some great advise and shots in your video.
Thanks so much Simon, you're right, a tripod definitely has it's limitations 👍👍👍
What kind of lens (lenses) of Fujifilm or Fujifilm camera do you mean?
If I have an object in my frame that I like and it is near the edge, i will actually go even wider so i can adjust for that distortion of the object in post and still keep my framing that i originally wanted since I will be cropping the image after distortion correction.
Excellent video, very usefull. I just got the 10-24 mm lens for my x-t2 camera and this is just what i needed.
By the way, I really liked the last photo before you moved to a more elevated position. Unearthly atmosphere, absolutely beautifull!
Thanks buddy, The 10-24 and xt2 / t3 is a great combo. IQ is great. Unfortunately, my copy wasn't that sharp paired with the x-h2 for some reason, hence my sale.
Hey Ian! Thanks a lot for your content. I like it a lot as it helps me considering experience based, important factors to keep perfecting my photogrpahy style. I highly appreciate this as opposed to advocating a piece of gear that shift my focus from taking photos on what I do not have and wasting my free time on making efforts to have it. Answering your question, my favorite focal length is recently 28mm which is my choice if just a single focal length prime is possible to pick. It is the most versatile, not too wide to grab low distorsion shots about people, but wide enough to work on street, landscape and most of the holiday shots. Of course if it come to a specifiy genre, 50-135 for portrait, 14-24 for landscape, 85-105 for macro, etc. however, I do like experimenting by ignoring photo school textbook conventions and taking advantage of lens features that are often neglected, or unexplored.
Awesome Comment buddy & thanks for watching 😊👍👍
For Landscape I've had best results with 20mm, but often used a 90 degree angle attachment to the viewfinder, so I could get close to the ground without having to "snake through thee mud" ... My 20mm stretches the edges rather than giving me a barrel distortion. Most of what you warn against I manage to avoid by the simple "trick" of seeing in the viewfinder what needs to be in and what must stay out. Often that means I have to move to a different viewpoint. I know, ever since zoom lenses became useful we stopped moving around (to an extent.) For successful wide angle landscape photography it's right back to that - and, please, consider all three dimensions (up and down included.) I got some breathtaking perspectives at Zion National Park, once I had driven all the way down to the valley, got out of the car and looked back at where I had just come from. That's when I decided I would need that angle viewfinder. Today, of course we have those foldaway screens and we can also take shots without looking and then see the results right away - most of my work had to go to a lab before I could see what I had ...
For portraits and many other things I LOVE my 85mm (f1.2, so it is also great for available light situations and gives me great bokeh whenever I work with minimal depth of field. But that's another story.
Great video, thank you. I often used to cut out foreground interest but I will now watch out for going too wide. Liked your tip about starting at 24mm and working backwards when working out a composition...Also working out composition without the tripod first. Will give them a go. Do you do a vlog on filters?
Thanks Jane, I've have a video course on photography filters, you can watch it for free by signing up to my newsletter. Here's the link www.iworthphotos.com/take-action
Love my Fujifilm 16mm 1.4 its great for close up as well as landscape and my Fujifilm 23mm 1.4
That's awesome Doug👍
Thank you Ian, and always very happy to see people photographing the wonderful Ceibwr bay (and other favourite locations further down the coast). Some good points about wide angle which we all need to bear in mind and remind ourselves of. Thanks for your video. Can I ask if you are based in the West Wales area?
Thanks so much, yes I'm based in Wales 👍👍
@@ian_worth The best. Having just returned from a couple of weeks on Harris, I'd say Harris just about competes with West Wales - almost!! 😏 I'm fortunate to have Ceibwr et al just a short drive away and can nip out any time...
How about circular polarizer? Would that work for wide angle photography? You'd lose two stops worth of light but with a tripod that should be still okay.
Very well made video, Ian, with some helpful advice. What make & model is your backpack?
thanks buddy, its the lowepro photosport pro - you can check it out on my gear page www.iworthphotos.com/my-gear
@@ian_worth nice one, cheers Ian! Loving your LR tips too. Appreciate your content and superb editing.
Thanks Ian, a very helpful video. I like the last photo too. Having sold the 10-24mm what zoom lens are you now using for landscape photography? Peter
Hi peter, i'm using the 13mm viltrox the 16-55 - 50-140 & 70-300 👍👍
Lot's of very good info here
Thanks Steven 👍👍
Some very sound advice, Ian.
Thanks Vlad 👍👍
Great video and I have watched a few other videos posted by you. I can’t help but noticed you shoot landscapes in portrait mode. Why?
Also where is your focus point so that front and rear are all in focus?
Hi Chris, i use both orientations you can check out some of my photos here www.iworthphotos.com/ian-worth-portfolio in terms of focus points, usually i manually focus about a third of the way into my scene 👍
good
I use viltrox 13mm f1.4 prime for fuji say 20mm ishs full frame help too consider more the image not zoom in and out and is sharp across the picture too
Awesome Ray 👍👍
Some good advice Ian. Sometimes the compositions viewed on the Screen or Viewfinder will determine whether the shot will work out or not?
Thanks buddy, very true 👍
Hi great and use full video. My choose is the 13mm
Mine too👍
how do you find the Viltrox compared to the 10-24 IQ wise? I use the 10-24 on my X-T2 and 5 and love it. But I'd also quite like a wide-angle prime to go with my 16 f1.4. I've got the Viltrox 23mm f1.4 which I absolutely love for video.
Thanks buddy, The 10-24 and xt2 / t3 is a great combo. IQ is great. Unfortunately, my copy wasn't that sharp paired with the x-h2 for some reason, hence my sale. The 13mm viltrox is sharper throughout the frame on the xh2, maybe its something to do with the 40mp sensor 👍👍
@@ian_worth thanks Ian 🙂
That looks like Pembrokeshire West Wales to me! Beautiful scenery there, and so unspoilt. 😊
That's right James, beautiful pembs 😊👍
A nice tutorial, but may I add that if you are photographing at altitude - Alps etc - be very careful with polarisers as, other than making the sky look almost black [which looks dramatic when you take the pic but becomes less so when you see it in LR] the issue you raise with WA lenses is exaggerated. Secondly, the point you make about 'going wide' is all too true, and so many buy a zoom and only seem to use th widest setting - vary it and see what looks best when processed. Again, an excellent video - thanks.
Thanks Nick, great tips in this comment 🔥🔥👍👍
Awesome location and amazing photography bro , wishes from India 🇮🇳.
Thanks buddy 👍👍
Is that The Cliffs of Moher? I was there this past summer!
No its pembrokeshire, wales. 😊👍
Good advice👍
I’m a hobby photographer, with an instagram page where I share my photography learning journey.
I mostly have older digital cameras and I enjoy shooting with film on old (20-40 yrs) cameras, mostly gifted and thrifted.
When I’m shooting film I don’t have the luxury of shooting dozens of shots.
$$$$$$
I have no fancy ass cameras ….yet 😉
I do like your advice, and your shots 💫
Thanks so much 👍👍
Nice video. I shoot a lot of wide-angle landscapes. Judging from my Yt feed, every landscape photographer comes from the UK. LOL
Yes, we do have an abundance of landscape photographers here in the uk which is great to see 👍👍
Definitely the 13mm lens image rather than 9
I agree 👍👍
hi, can you send me a link of your backpack please?
Sure, its by lowepro, you can check out all of my gear here 👉 www.iworthphotos.com/my-gear
@@ian_worth thank you
13mm
Does this cover the "Look, there's nothing interesting at my feet" syndrome?
I think it does 👍
Too self critical on the last shot with gorse. Think it is very good.
I think at the time I felt a little rushed, I knew there was a better composition to be had, but when i got back, i was really happy with that shot. The light made it 🙏👍👍
Can’t show that dope camera hiking backpack and not link it !

Are you a Professional Working Tog ????????? Yes or no .. Do you work for a noted publication or you freelance ?
I wish you would not stand so close to the cliff. my legs go all wobbly and I can't concentrate on your talk. it is really scary!
I don't get it, for what you do need a tripod? A tripod is good for sunset and sunset, but if you hike in the mountains a tripod is too heavy! You do make your photos from any angle, mostly the stupid ones will be the best... And stop thinking, just do it!
Second, a Pol filter can be replaced when processing your pictures... So no issue. In Nepal, I used only 16-80mm, and all the other lenses were obsolete. My 10-24 mm for what? My tripod for what? Too heavy! My image stabilization was good enough for sunset...
You're talking WAL's .. yet you don't even mention which mm of lense your gibbering about .. also Photography is subjective .. .
And you even fail to mention the use of Fisheye's ..... as they also do a job .. and not everyone wastes money on filters . Use the Features that's within the Camera .. instead of wasting money on glorified filters
Bad day, Colin? 🙄 Put a link in the comments to your channel. Would love to see how you’re getting on. ✌🏻
