Digicam Street Photography in Omaha | Canon PowerShot G11

  • The Canon PowerShot G11 is a 10 megapixel fixed zoom lens point & shoot camera that was released in 2009. It has a 1/1.7" CCD sensor, optical viewfinder, and shoots RAW. I use this camera in full manual and shoot typically at F/8 at 400 ISO. It does have a built-in ND filter and a bright flip-out LCD display. I like but don't love this camera. My edits for these photos include adding light film emulation using the RNI Films app for iOS / iPadOS.
    Music for this video was mixed using Track Club's Mix Lab feature where you can custom mix any song to adjust the volume of specific stems or exclude specific stems to make your own version of the song.
    Audio for this video was recorded in the locations where the photographs were taken using a combination of a Tascam DR-10L lav mic attached to me while taking photos, and the RØDE VideoMic NTG on my camera while recording video.
    This video was edited with Final Cut Pro.

      Actually these are not a dead pixels, it's just stuck pixels caused by the lens machanism of the PowerShot G series, you only have to clean up the sensor, but this step require a technician or at least a basic knowledge in handling high tech electronics like these amazing cameras.

    In only a handful of videos, you've managed to nail the precise audio/visual aesthetic that I truly enjoy. The photos - combined with video from the same session - are neatly paired with a beautiful, unpretentious soundtrack to bind it all up in a nicely wrapped package. The lack of an unnecessary voice-over to distract the viewers is the icing on the cake. You're off to an impressive start. I wait in anticipation of your next upload.

      Thank you! I've been watching photography TH-cam for quite a while and as I've immersed myself more and more into the craft I've always felt there was a specific kind of TH-cam photography video that was missing. I found myself loving channels like Willem Verbeek's and grainydays and many others but there were certain times where I just wanted to look at the photo and video elements of their videos without voice over or their commentary - I just wanted to kind of disappear into some other place, a tone, a vibe, whatever you want to call it. So I decided to make the exact type of videos that I wanted to see from other photography TH-camrs, and your comment is immensely validating and goes such a long way to encourage me that I might be on to something. Thanks for being a part of the channel 🤘

      I concur. It’s the type video you sit down on your couch, turn on the largest TV you have, and simple immerse yourself into it. His vibe takes you there. Very well executed.

    • @somephotovideos
      @somephotovideos  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @JonathanCWard Yes! That’s exactly what I’m going for with these videos, and I’m glad that’s resonating with certain viewers.
      View durations on my videos are abysmal because most viewed I think are expecting someone to speak to camera and talk about the photos and the camera and when it’s apparent that’s not going to happen they stop watching.
      Maybe eventual I’ll make some videos where I speak to camera and do some voiceovers… 🤷‍♂️

    oh my, I got lost in your videos, watching one by one. This channel is such a hidden gem, really, an exceptional work, truly unique vibe and sensitivity, love it!
    One question though, if You were about to choose between Canon G9 with CCD sensor, making RAW files (found it for 115$) and a SX230HS with CMOS sensor and no RAW files (60$), which one would You go for? :)

      Thanks for the kind words! So glad you're enjoying the videos. I love making them and can't wait to get the next one completed.
      My gut instinct is go with the G9. I really love my G11 and if someone made me choose between it and the SX230HS, I'd go with the G11. Let me know what you decide! And feel free to share the channel. You've given quite the testimonial 🙌❤️

    The images look soft looking, is that the best the camera can do?

    • @somephotovideos
      @somephotovideos  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      With street photography it can be difficult to achieve tack sharp focus because things are typically moving very quickly, and I use range focusing combined with a high aperture - f/8 is the highest aperture with the G11 - so that can leave some parts of the image a bit soft.
      And just to be clear - range focusing is a technique not a feature with this camera. While it does have auto-focus I tend to rely on manual focus to make sure I can take a picture as quickly as possible.

      They are all listed in the end credits👌All available here: www.trackclub.com
      But also be aware that each song has been modified using Track Club’s Mix Lab feature. I strip out most of the instruments to customize the songs so that they’re, well, what they are.
      A vibe, I guess.

      Not at the moment, but I hope to figure out something like that eventually. For now I've been using the RNI app for iPhone & iPad to add a Kodak Portra 400 film emulation to my photos. I reduce the strength quite a bit to make it very subtle and then edit all the standard stuff like contrast, shadows, color temperature, etc. Check out Really Nice Images here: reallyniceimages.com
