    8:15 Great idea Rob. I really like these videos. That is going to work with focus bracketing also! All those images look nearly the same and even using focus stacking in camera, that slightly cropped image is still tricky to find among all the other pictures.

    9:19 Those two leaning trees in the middle look cool. Plus the arced tree. I don't know if that would fit in though with the 75!

    Hi Rob, always enjoy your photo walks. I appreciate the sharing of your thought process in the composition. You are a very good photographer; great shots. Excellent suggestion for motion blur by using high-resolution. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

      I was going to try motion blur in high resolution mode! I did once but it was not a good subject. I might also lead to clues as to how high res actually takes the shots.

    • @davebellamy4867
      @davebellamy4867 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've also considered what unusual and interesting effects you might get bt using focus stacking on moving subjects. Focus atacking does weird things to bokeh balls of thete are point light sources in the distance. It might make some cool eggects if something is moving through the frame. I did notice that occasionally the camera can't stack the images successfully if things get too weird!

    Thanks Rob! I LOVE the 75mm. Also use it on the E-M5 III with a grip to balance the weight. Was on the fence getting this lens for a while because it's expensive but found a good copy used and now it's one of my favs. Gotten some good portraits and turns out I really enjoy tele landscapes, often wide open to get that dreamy out of focus look and make the subject pop. What a brilliant lens -- quality is superb, and 150mm equiv in such a small package means it doesn't get left behind as a huge equivalent FF lens often would.

      The 75mm f/1.8 is a good illustration of why the micro four thirds system was a really good idea and why it's so practical, lightweight and usable. I wish they'd make a longer prime like 135mm or 150mm that's a lot lighter than the big 40-150mm f2.8 zoom! Even an f/2.5 or f/2.8 would be cool.

    I love the lens the focal length is only thing that has to be managed everything else from the lens is gifted to me and I need all the help I can get. It will be interesting when you swop out the lens for another focal length, whether or not you miss the 75 when you look around. For me the 75mm and 12mm gift photos but both lenses don't stay on the camera long as you have to be active and work to the focal length which is fun but if something pops up out of that range you have to get busier. I liked yourCanada Geese images last time. As always a great video thank you.

    • @RobTrek

    Hi Rob, I see you were using a nodal slide, imho these are often overlooked when people want to take panoramic shots. They really help to produce a more realistic result when they are used correctly. Also makes really good use of the longer focal range lenses as you get can the wide image and great resolution at the same time. Have you done a video on the nodal slide?

    4:30 I don't understand 100% what the resolution of the raw image is since the jpeg us limited to 50 megapixels. I've seen it's 80 Mp on some cameras but maybe not on the EM5 iii. I noriced if I develop the raw image later to a jpeg, it's still limited to 50Mp. In my own little test, the 50 was a lot better than standard 20 LSF picture mode (large superfine 20 Mp) and the 25 Mp high res was a little better than the 20. I don't know if the high res expisure is actully longer than the plain exposure (ie if each of the several images in hi res is the same or ahoter than a vanilla exposure). I noticed that the high res jpeg is fixed at Fine not superfine and that makes the file size less than 2½ times the superfine 20 Mp image.

    • @RobTrek
      @RobTrek  ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe the hi-res locks the exposure to match the initial settings. So it will take several shots at the same shutterspeed, iso, apeture. The em5.3 only takes 50mp jpg and 80mp raw. The em1.3 & OM1 do 80mp jpg & raw. There is very little difference between fine and superfine but would have been nice if we could have selected sf.

    Also, really enjoy the photo walk format (I've also watched all your technical menu deep dives when I first got the E-M5 III). It's really cool how you film the scene and explain how you found the shot and processed it. It's really cool too how you have another camera getting a side angle of you, but it seems tricky to film the menu that way outdoors/handheld. I've been wondering about using an external recorder like the Ninja V to capture the menu / camera OSD, as I frame the shot and take a picture. What do you think about that?
