16mm is WAYY too much fun!
Hi! Nice video. Thank you! I started my youtube channel and film cinematic travel videos so your videos help me a lot! There are so many things to learn but with channels like yours it much more easier) If someone interested in cinematic travel videos you are welcome to support me by joining my chanel)
Are you able to do a comparison with the f4 & the f2.8 gm, I am curious what are your thoughts on it
Homes Media we talked a little about it on one of our videos to NYC in BH, there is minimal difference in look! We decided to stick with f4 cause it’s lighter for video
90mm Macro G series Lens
Which one mam canon Sony or what ?
If 16mm is the life of the party, you guys are the 90mm macro, sipping craft beer on the rear balcony discussing existentialism.
🖤😊
Ramon Solorio LOLOL more like craft Soda! 😂
It’s been years and years, but I always come back to fast wide lenses. I remember how impossibly cool they seemed when I first saw pictures from them. Love this series!
The Enthusiasm Project same I remember when I first shot with a 10mm on an A-PSC camera and I was mind boggled!
Love this series! I’m currently shooting on a micro 4/3 25mm so I guess 50mm equivalent! It’s always awesome to see how people work with ONE focal length, it forces you to be more creative
I'm just LOVING this series!
This is a really useful series, and wide angle was definitely something I needed to look at! Thanks guys!
I love watching your vids on my Sunday morning. It's become routine:)
Mic Rose aw glad to hear it!
I love this video! Can’t believe I’ve only just come across this series you’ve created - I need to watch the rest now 😍
Watching this video in 4k was amazing!! Keep killing it guys! Loving the content and the journey of each video.
Hmm...16mm is a focal lenth that alot people don't think for portrait but the results were quite interesting.
Yash Gupta it’s super fun, definitely not one I’d go for for professional headshots but for creative portraits, DEFINITELY!
@@BeckiandChris yeah for creative shots it seems quite fun, will have to try it out.
shot this at 16mm on the bmpcc4k. th-cam.com/video/JaT5kA8gMxc/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely loving this new series Becki and Chris! Great info!
Kerry Allen thanks so much! It’s a ton of fun to make!
Absolutely love the examples of shots for each point you make! Feeling inspired af to go out and shoot now!
Love this series! Can't even tell you how helpful this stuff is for newbies!
Joseph Parsons so glad to hear it!!
I love it!
Take a shot every time you hear “distortion” or any version of the word. Lol
Bri Elle you are gonna get shit faced! 😂
distortion is one of my fav things of wide lenses!! absolutely love it!!
I love this video!! Very helpful and exciting! 16mm is my Fav Focal Length… thanks for creating and sharing this awesome video.
Oh, I really got to try this! Thank you for yet another great video!
I had the choice between the Sony F4 16-35 and the Tamron F2.8 17-28.
Im so glad I took the Tamron as you're so right about missing that extra stop of light.
Woah the portraits of Chris in the wind and the other Chris in the mirror are AMAZING
Oooo, a 16mm *hastily scribbles it on the ever growing wish list*. The shots look so cool, I particularly like the one in the trees.
Love this video! The FPV shots are unreal. I just bought a cheap adapter for my A7R3 to use old Nikon-mount glass I got when I was much younger. One being a real cheap 16mm but I've fallen in love with the wide look and it not being tack sharp, gives it character!
That's great! I love my 16-35L and... AND! your videos :)
Thanks for another good video. I really like the distortion on the 16 mm. Recently got one but have not got the chance to experiment more with! But now with our current situation (curfew) I see an opportunity there!
Dozens of helpful info about the 16 mm with examples. 👏
i have the 16-35 f4 and oh my, going travelling with that is fun. For travel where I want to capture the environment, this is one of my fav lense :)
One of your best videos yet!
That photo of Johnny Harris in the woods is sooo good! Love it! ❤️ The best one for me!
Are you making more of these videos?? I love them!! Would you do the 50 mm??
Love this series!
Love your videos all the time. I have a huge back log to catch up on from where I last left off 🙌🏾🙌🏾
New video after 2 weeks
It's PERFECT 😊
These focal length challenges just make me wanna go o and capture all the photons! Thank you for making great content!
HashBrown HomeGym hell yes!!!
Nice seeing you becki ty for the video
Your videos inspires me so much. Thanks.
Those FPV drone shots were amazing! I got you Dr. Chris
Good info! I have a 12-24 mm DX zoom lens and I have been trying some creative portrait work..THANKS!
I love these videos feels like a movie
loving this series - 85mm for the next vid would be really cool as you said 🙌🏼 can’t wait for it
I'm loving this series!! I'm putting in a vote for 35mm, mainly because I'm crushing on the EOS R/35mm 1.8 combo :)
That photo of Chris looks so dope!!!
Specially with the distortion 👏🏼❤️
Aye guys...tanx again for the video...im learning photography and im in some good hands...i need a 16mm too..i like that relation to it being a fav..god bless and i love this challenge
Wow. Makes me get into photos. Love the color too🧑🏻🎤
👍Love the series. Glad to hear others are also pulling for 85mm. 16-35 f2.8 in my travel kit was a practical choice due to space consideration (purchased before the Tamron 17-28 debut) and it does spend a lot of time on the camera. I use 16mm, but infrequently. 18mm is about is about my limit before things get a bit too weird for my eye. But yes, very wide shots can be used for dramatic perspectives and cool effects! If you are not obsessed with keeping your vertical lines straight in the frame it can be fun. 😅
Nice. Thank you. Good vid.
I LOVE a wide lens! 24 is my "go to" but HOT DAMN! 16mm is LIT!!!!
and the drone shots!! Was that FPV? OMG!!! I think I need to move to BC
Subscribed for the jokes about boars 😂 literally laughed so hard. Happy to see a Canadian photography channel! Cool videos
really cool video! Lens challenges are a really cool idea!
I would love to buy those presets which you have used for these photos. Love your editing style too
HEY GUYS. Can’t agree more the 16mm is my fav for creative shots. Love love love it. Keep up the great work
Loving the series! Cool earrings Becky!
Very nice. I agree if you play with the distortion it works.
Great video and I love your hair. 👍🏻
Thanks... Think im gonna buy it now❤
Thank you!
Thank for this look at the 16 mm . I have been thinking about getting a wider lens. This might just be the one I’m looking for. By the way I love how your photos and your video seem to match.
shot this at 16mm on the bmpcc4k. th-cam.com/video/JaT5kA8gMxc/w-d-xo.html
16-35mm f2.8 is my favorite and I usually use it at 16mm :) thanks guys!
A video featuring my 3 favorite TH-cam cinematic universe couples! So awesome to see IZ and Johnny on other channels.
Ace Hamilton they are all so great!
Holy sh^t! I just stumbled upon this and the cast in this video is insane! I just kept seeing all these huge names showing up one after another. Crazy seeing everyone before there channels blew up to what they are now. Wow awesome video.
I love it .. the distortion it generates is a great compositional element if you know how to use it
Cristian Diaz PH totally agree!
No Bug, No Bullshit, Only crystal clear information. Loved it.
Of the Sigma 16, 30 and 56 f1.4 which would you guys recommend?
Thank you.
Awesome video! Any recommendations for presets?
wow Amazing portriats
We JUST got a 16mm Sigma lens. Can’t wait to start experimenting with it!
Beautiful! Would be really nice to se a video of you editing the photos i this video.
Thank you for your 16mm Focal Length Challenge.
When I first started shooting professionally, I did not even have a wide-angle lens. However, my first assignment at the newspaper were I was working was to photograph the grand opening an Ethan Allen furniture store. That was when I realized I really needed a wide-angle lens. Over years, I added 35, 28, 24, 21, 18, and 14mm wide-angle lenses to my inventory. I have never tried using my 18 or 14mm lenses in a one-lens/one-body challenge.
I really dig this series! Such a cool idea and obvi, sick photos Becki. Keep it up!
JHawk thanks much! Having a shit load of fun with it!
Hmm I'm diggin the vibes that comes through this lens! Do you have a recommendation for a versatile lens outside of a kit lens??
I love the way grade and edit of your videos and photos, they are such a shmooood!
Ben Selby 16-35 and 24-70 are both great choices!
Gonna head out with a wide angle after this vid ... 👊
That 16mm is crazy! Love how that forest shot turned out
We've been using a 16mm for all (well... most) of our travel shots/vids lately. It's for a crop sensor, so not quite a true 16, but still love it! Loving this series, guys! ✌️🖤 🤙
Loved this video. 16 mm is very intimidating for me. I haven’t shot in a 16 mm in a long time. Will definitely try something soon. Thanks guys
Prajwal Naveen it’s so much fun!
Love your channel and content! Wish I found it sooner
need help... im a starter filmmaker, planing o do som short films that im writing, im planing to have some of those shots with my character but with the backgrownd blured and i have a sony 50mm 1.8 lense but i find it way to zoomish specialy if im filming in tight spaces and i was thinking to get the sigma 16mm 1.4 to have the same effect but not having to be so far away of my subjects, am i doing a good choiice? essencialy i want to have that cinematic look of having the backgrownd blured without beeing so far away from the subject.
Thanks ! :D
Your hair color is out of this world. 🔥
What preset are you using? Looks awesome!
That hair thoo!!! I LOVE
Would you recommend this lense for vlogging And Instagram pictures?
My Sony 16-35GM 2.8 is stuck on my camera since i got it! Only time I switch it is if I wanna take some portraits with my 85 or something really far with my 100-400! Great video :)
Excellent...!!! Is a 16mm Full frame or APS C...? What do you think about Sonny 16mm f2.8...?
Love using my 17-40 f4 L and it's mostly used at 17mm.
Hey ....May i ask? What are best Camera for beginner for under 300$?....did you have any suggestion?
Nice shot!! I've been shooting with my 14mm a lot for the last 2 weeks. It's definitely pushing boundaries and forcing creativity.
Chris you freaking kill it every time with the fpv shots
Joshua Cappello he’s getting so good!
This series should be on Netflix... I LOVE it!
Lucas Pellicer Ruibal thanks!!
Love the hair! Color what color brand are you using ??
I must say I like your hair and glasses. Great video and info I need to get me a 16mm lense I’m new to photography your channel is a big part of my learning. Much appreciated Side not: I ordered that black dust mask from the previous video. Thanks again
Ever consider teaching a Skill share class?
Even if I hate the video cmon I can't even take my eyes of you Becki why do beautiful
Nice video 👍
Just commented on Lizzie’s vid. My 6 favourite Creators all together 😮😍
Great video Becki. I just picked up a 16-35 2.8 GM for my A7R IV. You made me feel good about the expensive purchase.
Eddie Nunez worth it!!
I'm really liking this charcoal color grade on your photos/videos these days. Have you ever talked about how you create the look? Cheers!
I love the tones you guys go for when shooting in the forest.
I'm colourblind with greens and browns but the way you make it look is very .. mysterious and dark.
Do you guys have your own presets or are you currently using another photographers?
WhosJmc Gaming thanks much! We don’t use other people’s presets we edit everything ourselves!
Gosh, the images you took at 16mm were oooooh just 👌🏼I usually shoot 35mm, 50mm or even macro but not so much 16mm unless I do astrophotography. You have inspired me to take portraits with 16mm
Amrita Bhortake aw thanks! Yay glad to hear it!
Fun vid thanks! Subbed.
I feel so strange cause I have never ever been naturally drawn to a super wide angle - or basically anything wider than 50 - but after watching this I'm definitely keen to get my hands on one and test this out🤟🏻
David Manicum I know a few people like that! I’ve always had a harder time shooting anything more telephoto than 50!
loved the luts ( Can anybody help me how to give colors on video like this ?)
Which software you use for video colour grading ???? Please reply
Love the music - it's come2gether by ooyy, right?
moondancer03 yes!
