Another helpful video Will. I am just a hobbyist photographer, and I have long understood and used the concept of compression with a telephoto lens when taking landscape photos. But I never considered that the telephoto lens compresses EVERYTHING it sees, including the humidity, which explains my periodic difficulty in getting tack sharp photos with my longest lens. Thanks!
I believe the compression effect is a consequence of perspective, not something inherent in the lens itself. It just happens when we walk further away from something, and the narrow field of view of a tele removes distractions and makes that effect more apparent.
Thanks for the succint reminders. This is a great summary of why I still lug a zoom along on my hiking trips, and have gotten some of my best photos with. I also enjoy stitching panoramas with the zoom, and it gives a completely different feel due to compression of the same scope covered by the wide angles.
So very true - I was wrapped with the close ups especially at Milford sound . The peaks and waterfalls were close enough to touch :) damn I will never stop drooling over them 😂
Great video Will. I shoot Olympus M4/3 and my absolute fav lens is the 40-150 f2.8 ( equivalent to 80- 300 full frame.) It lives on my camera. Thanks for such straight forward videos. Love your work ❤
Thanks William. This has been super helpful for me. Having bought a telephoto last year, I took it into the Pyrenees mountains in France last month. Your revelation about the atmosphere compression makes perfect sense and has reassured me that the shots that were disappointingly noisy/soft were due to that, not my settings so much. Like you, I also use it less than my other lenses, but it's great to have it for those moments when a little more reach is needed. Cheers!
Impressive content, William Patino. Looking forward to seeing your next upload from you. I smashed the thumbs up button on your video. Keep up the great work! Your insights on isolating subjects with a telephoto lens are invaluable. How do you determine the ideal conditions for using a two times converter without compromising image quality?
Thanks for the video! I was almost convinced to get a 70-200mm f2.8 .Now I am a bit unsure if should go for 100-400mm 😅. I want for landscape and surf photography/film.
Excellent as always, William...and for me, personally, this video landed at a time when I got a 75-300mm for my birthday last week and I've literally just got home from bringing it out for a test-drive 😁🤘 I found it a bit crazy at first I'm not gonna lie 🤦♂️🤣...but gained confidence knowing my shutter speed would compensate for the "earthquake" that was happening in my viewfinder 🙄🤣🤣 But I didn't realise I could open up my aperture so, again (and as always) cheers for that sir 🙏 Great video 🤘📸
Great video. Did you already try to use a polariser filter to adres atmospheric distortion? I think light reflects on dust and water particles in the air so a polariser could help remove those reflections, making the image shaper. But I'm not sure. Any experience with that?
Best lense i use for LS is the 135mm F2 Samyang . Have been considering the 100-400 and the 70-200 . But when am carrying in excess of 2 stone in weight on my back .. ...I'd rather not increase the weather that it becomes unbearable

Glad it was helpful! Thank you.

@ That is correct. Its the physics, not the mechanics
@@12symmo Yes, correct. the lens allows us to isolate that effect.
Really helpful video, thank you very much William. 😊
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏻

Exactly! Thanks mate 👊🏻

Haha, so fun! Gotta come back sometime Iza.
Great topic covered here and some impressive shots in your portfolio. Thanks.
Much appreciated! 😊🙏🏻
Great video and tips!
Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot kay!
Great video and advice 👍🙂
Thanks a lot mate!
Thankyou Will.Your advice and tips put Perspective into my using my 70-200 F2.8 for my Landscape shots.J
Thanks John 👊🏻

Thanks a lot for the support mate :)
Great video with helpful tips. Thanks.
I like the ability to simplify/isolate the subject. I struggle with the wide lens; too much going on there.
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
William, as has become the normal; great practical straight talking and sound advice based on real in field experience. Awesome.
Thanks a lot Kev. Much appreciated mate.
Thank you so much William for sharing this video.

Thanks a lot mate, appreciate that! Best way is to just shoot and check the back of camera. You’ll see straight away if it’s usable or not.
Thanks for the video! I was almost convinced to get a 70-200mm f2.8 .Now I am a bit unsure if should go for 100-400mm 😅. I want for landscape and surf photography/film.
100-400!
Great tips! Thanks!
Thanks Gary :)
You elude 2 factors ...
1 You take pics that makes you happy , not to please others
2 Be observant ....always be aware what is around you ...
Spot on 🙌🏻👌🏻
I ended up getting the Rf100-500mm. Wonderful lens. Usually take that and my Rf14-35mm when going out. Thanks for sharing Will 📷👌✨
Perfect mate 👌🏻💪🏼
Great video, thank you. A question, if you don't mind: does the converter have to match the brand of the lens, or are they universal?
Thank you. I believe there are third party options for converters.

Great video 🤘📸
Haha, Great timing mate! Glad to help you overcome those earthquakes haha. Thank you.
Thanks William, appreciate the info. Quick question on your 100-400 is it 2:8 ?
Thanks mate. No, there is not a 2.8. version.
Great video. Did you already try to use a polariser filter to adres atmospheric distortion? I think light reflects on dust and water particles in the air so a polariser could help remove those reflections, making the image shaper. But I'm not sure. Any experience with that?
No I don't believe it will work in that case mate.
Do you shoot more in the morning light as opposed to sunset for better atmosphere?
Generally the mornings and colder months. More moisture around for atmosphere 👌🏻
Best lense i use for LS is the 135mm F2 Samyang . Have been considering the 100-400 and the 70-200 . But when am carrying in excess of 2 stone in weight on my back ..
