Very nice shots, very clear and sharp. Unfortunately I miss the data which camera and setting, with or without tripod. Which lens was used. I think it is very important so that even newcomers can learn from it. As I said super shots.
I am a bit more organic shooter than that I don't track any of my settings but I use a 5d mark 2 canon with a canon macro lens and then mostly don't use a tripod I didn't use a tripod here then I edit in photoshop :)
I take a lot of photos lol and I like just having a pin point focus. Yeah I think you can get the stored data but I don't think I use those capture programmes I edit my images by hand in photoshop and always have done, I don't think I've once looked at my settings on the computer lol. My assistant though is so big on that, he's far more technical than me lol and has more kit.
I think people have to find their own way to learn just because I am a visual learner and learn by doing I think some people really need to understand why certain things create certain images, I don't think there is any right or wrong way :)
the 5d mark 2 is a little old now but I don't think it's that much behind the newer versions, I do less photography now than I used to so it's good enough for me.
Honestly, you can't tell from the photo how old the camera is. I myself started with a Nikon D7100 and recently switched to the Nikon D750. Also this are not the most current camera and that is not important. You take the photo and camera is your tool.
yes, sometimes cameras leap and sometimes it's small;; updates, mine was a huge update as it went from just taking photos to being able to capture high def video in the space of one upgrade but the latest two have been pretty marginal.
I actually taught myself photography and managed to get to shooting for vogue brides and GQ magazine without ever really caring about camera settings I just learnt what created what visual effect for me and experimented a lot. I think we all learn differently I am more of a visual learner which, is why I would make a horrible teacher as I know what I am doing but on an intuitive level from experience not from a technical space.
I know that, I also learn myself, which means no one shows me how to do it. Much I read from reports, books or watch YouTube. I also have a hard time with passing on knowledge. My wife has also started with photography and it is already difficult to convey my experience.
I am moving away from fashion photography but I did shoot a proper campaign for a mainstream brand, shot royalty, shot for many big magazines and I never did any photography lessons, never watched any tutorials or read anything I just literally shot and shot and shot and learnt by doing. Not that everyone should do the same but just saying it's not always about learning but sometimes you can just learn by experience and doing.
Learning is one thing, but without practice and trying things out, the knowledge is of no use to me. That's why my wife and I are on the road with the camera. Feel free to stop by my blog.
lol yeah I have people ask for my help and I am like I have no idea haha I genuinely just picked up a camera got my friends to model for me and shot and shot, after a few years of taking thousands of pictures you just kind of know what you are doing and what settings create what look etc. People learn differently I think, the amount of times I met other photographers who had 50,000£ worth of kit, studios, knew everything technically and their work was just bland, because photography isn't just about settings it's about feelings and experimentation and breaking boundaries, if you are too tech focused I find people stop experimenting and feeling into things. Thats just my take but I respect all ways people take photos, all that really matters to me is what you produce not how.
I never used a tripod, I do have to take a fair few tho to get one in focus thats for sure but I always seem to get some good ones without a tripod. I find a tripod burdensome but of course it's nice to use sometimes.

A Canon is a super camera, I take the settings from the stored data from the image. Photographed by hand, my respect, very sharp and crisp. Super made

I know this from my wife, but is also nice to meet here photographers. So I can also learn from your pictures still what.

Just right

Beautiful pictures. I have not mastered the macro setting on my new camera yet. I think it needs a tripod? I'll keep trying tho :-)
I never used a tripod, I do have to take a fair few tho to get one in focus thats for sure but I always seem to get some good ones without a tripod. I find a tripod burdensome but of course it's nice to use sometimes.
Ok good to know. Thanx.
Nice shots and very amazing.
