Z8 I guess.. I love cameras and stereo.. audiophile I am

You arE right ! right ! aNd RIGHT AGAIN!.. if you want a video camera go by a Canon video cam!! Real Still Photographer please stand up!!

Thanks

Thank you !!! I learned a LOT !

You would look really good in a suit. Big suit vibes.

The entire reason we had to switch to circular polarizers is because digital cameras' sensors do not react well to polarized light, so I kind of wander if the reason some of the polarizers have a color shift is because they are not as good at depolarizing the light at the back of the filter, and the camera sensor is reacting to the partially polarized light... If would be interesting to test them on a film camera, where that does not matter, and see if the color shift still occurs... <edit> I just realized that another way to test this would be to test if the color balance shifts when the polarizes is rotated... I know the reflections would change, but does the overall color change as well... If it does, that would indicate that it is probably the depolarization part of the filter that is causing the problem...

For the size - the softbox diffuser - the first tested was most surprising to me. Easiest looking to transport.

I hate to join in with the criticism, but my concern is your claim to show photography newbies the difference between film and digital. By using different focal lengths, red and orange filters with the film camera, developing for high contrast and grain, etc, you have given a false impression. Some of the comments, expressing preferences for either film or digital, based on your images, show that such individuals have been misled. I have been a keen photographer since the mid seventies, occasionally even making some money from paid jobs. It took me a very long time to move to digital, mainly because I wasn't convinced and digital winning on resolution. I mostly used 35mm, but did have 6x6, and mostly Contax cameras with Zeiss glass. Eventually I started scanning on a Minolta Scan Elite 5400, which I still have. When I first moved to digital it was with Sony A900 with 24Mp sensor. Back in the day, most people couldn't tell if I took same shot on 35mm and digital and printed it to A3 size, which was digital and which was film. I'm not saying to the trained eye that there is no difference, but by creating obvious differences and then implying that that's the difference between film and digital, you are misleading the uninitiated. I have acquired quite a few high quality compact 35mm film cameras over recent years, because I really enjoy film. You can't on the one hand say that you created obvious differences as a bit of fun and on the other hand say that you were attempting to educate, guide newbies as to the differences. Sorry to be critical.

Good start. There was some electrical buzz or static at certain points. I imagine 3 years later you already figured this out.

I am still torn apart when it comes to use or not use white borders when posting photos on Instagram. And I still don't know how to calculate or determine border size.

Amazing work

It pays to pick clients that are easy to work with

I’ve been shooting Fuji X-Series for ten years. I’m going to buy a used D810 plus a 50mm 1.8, and I couldn’t be more excited!!

I think for my DX DSLR I would choose the 18-200 or the 18-300 or the Tamron 18-400. Best Duane

Fuji definitely looks better to me overall and I own nikon and Fuji

Given me ideas for street photography. Thanks

so true! Thanks for your thoughts about portraits!

So that’s HI (Human Intelligence) at work! Can’t beat it.

Great shoots.

I absolutely like your passion for Leica Barnack ; sine a light through the lens and you'll se if it's got fungus' you'll see something milky ; my guess is that the second curtain has minuscule tears; it got c older and colder so luck was on your side ; most definitely tde camera must be adjusted , the same for your Summitar ; not one of your pics were Leica Summitar sharp !

Thank You!

HI Phil. I walk around with a Nikon D40X, kit lens, and a twenty pound third party battery grip. When I am approached by such people I wait a few minutes, interrupt their pontificating, and them ask one question - "How many years have you earned a living as a professional photographer". It is joyous as they huff and puff a response trying to avoid using word amateur or enthusiast :-)))

This made me smile because of the people I have seen doing the 'funky chicken dad dance' as they take photos. Think like a boxer tucking your elbows in to avoid body shots and use a wrist strap. Enjoy the start to your week.

How on earth do you delete every photo off his card. You know what Format means, right? You know what the trashcan icon means and the word delete. Seems weird, I think he’s telling porkys….

Stunning pictures, I think I might look out for one of those, I love my Helios 44-m lens a little easier to use than the 135mm but it gives some stunning results.

Thanks for the great tutorial. May I ask how you know how many times to advance the film at first? Or how do you know when you get to the first frame?

Old lenses can be amazing. I got a 135mm f2.8 Yashica/Contax lens in pristine condition about a year ago from eBay for £20. I've used it with a Sony APS-C and a Sony A7R full frame with excellent results.

Old lenses are great. I scored an Olympus OM10 with three Zuiko lenses about ten years ago. For free... Freegle used to be a good place to try for old camera gear but I've not looked for years. I don't use the Olympus any more, but for a short period it was a lovely little camera to play with.

Hi Philip... Loved your video!! Since you were using an older lens I'm assuming your cameras internal light meter didn't work? So did you just use the 'sunny 16' rule or did you use an external light meter? Stay safe!! Best wishes, Duane

Wow! Lovely pictures. Most would say that is a vintage lens, I'd say it's an heirloom lens. Thanks for the video.

Too bad we can't get these anymore

I have 2 D3s cameras and 2 D700s. I got great deals with low shutter counts. I won't ever part with them.

Sorry I have absolutely no clue when setting this up for the first time how you even linked the camera it was so badly explaine, no idea what menu I need on camera nothing other than turn them on in this order and mine did not immediately link and no idea why from this poor explaination I have no clue where I need to be in the camera menu either . First time on the channel sorry guys I will not be back

Great video it is always good to get some new ideas for selling work.

I had my photo published in local two papers in Tunbridge Wells. They don't pay for photos anymore! I only got credits. Hence it's crap paper but oddly still expensive.

I have one from 1957. She is still fully functional.

That’s how I feel about my Leica 50/1.0 pre 1983. Bought it in the 90’s. At some point I sold off all my M cameras but keep the Noctilux. I recently bought a Canon R6II and going to give the lens another life.

I appreciate when real photographers talk photography on UA-cam. Most "photographers" on UA-cam are always trying to sell you some new gadget, but not Rileyphotos!

Bostin.

Love it, always wise words. You really come across well. I’m no professional nor do I want to be but I like your clips because we never stop learning.

On the serious side. I think a lot of people want to earn money for free. Making nice pictures as a hobby then as a side hustle sell them.

use ai generated thumbs ;)

I made a staggering 12$ on adobe stock photos!!! And atleast 60€ on a dutch stock photo site (that is unfortunately no longer there). Unfortunately it was in about 15 year....

Hi Philip...A very good topic video!! Stay safe and well my friend! Duane

Great pictures its amazing what you can pick up for a few quid, I've recently spent £52 more than that on a Canon 40D, magnesium alloy body, built like a tank with a massive 10.1mp. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's as near as dame it, the same sensor as the 5D classic but an APC. If it's not the same sensor the colour science is almost identical, I can't spot the difference, I used it with some decent glass to shoot two events last weekend and it didn't miss a beat or focus.

What is the lens? FL?

Should've added woman in bikini on train tracks. When I first started, I did that shot. She was in a full gown though. Still, I cringe nowadays. LOL

Cliche? Like that UA-cam intro video that looks like mit came from Fiverr?

I loved this video. A man talking about cliches who is also sporting a handlebar mustache asking us to "smash" the subscribe button. Layers of humor and irony. Clever! I will say this on a serious note regarding urban (or even rural) decay shots: I love making them and love looking at them. I have often heard other serious photographers pan the genre. But I wonder how they are any different from the beloved and revered human portrait? It seems to me they are perfectly analogous in that they are a single subject matter genre, everyone attempts them, most of them are mediocre or poor...........but when done well they are sublime. And doing them well is quite hard.

Now, a shot of the sun pertruding from someone's arse would be hysterical. 🤣
