Jim: 5 Things I Learned This Week
- Difference last trip to this one. WAY better pictures.
- The AF on the Sony A6300 is not as fast as the Fuji XPro2. X Pro 2 has better autofocus than a DSLR. First mirrorless camera that has even come CLOSE to that. Testing with kids.
- The Fuji 10-24 is the bane of my existence. Not on lens roadmap. Blow drying in hotel.
- SOOOO many landscapes are missing the “soul” of the shot. Include a person, a boat, a cactus, a rock, whatever.
- A wet lens ruined two of my favorite compositions
Nick:
Slowing down, and getting accustomed to more time for the shot
Less is more.. I only used two lenses
Pack your coat in your carryon
Nick : Why every photographer should visit iceland at least once
- The light
- The light lasts forever this time of year.. Forget about golden hour.. Its more like golden three hour, and the sunsets last forever giving you more time for compositions
- The sky is always changing.. Sometimes for the better, sometimes to crush your hopes but it keeps you on your toes and is fun to shoot in.
- The people
- Everyone speaks english and is very friendly and helpful, they are used to dealing with lost americans
- The subjects
- The island is just packed with photogenic mountain peaks, glaciers, icebergs and even raindier
Doodads of the Week!
- Get all the doodads in one place from any episode at https://improvephotography.com/doodads
- Jim: THINGUMA
- Nick: Canon 70-300mm L for Landscape photographers
Keeping my fingers crossed for the THINGUMA. Sound like the ideal tool for the travel landscape photographer.
Great podcast guys! Iceland is definitely on the got-oto-get-there-someday list.
Great podcast!
I’d love to go to Iceland one day. Thanks for sharing your experiences and inspiring me to go out and shoot!
Great Podcast! Good to know about the XF10-24mm and Iceland is now on the list.
Woohooo
Wet lenses in the falls are the worst! I lost a few compositions too.
Man, you guys are making me want to go to Iceland! Thanks for all the great content!
Great episode
Another great podcast but damn you Nick for pushing the Parapop 38. One found its way into my mail the other day but I haven’t been able to try it out. Just a question about it, what’s the battery compartment for on the back? Mine didn’t come with instructions.
Really enjoyed listening to this episode, not that I don’t enjoy EVERY episode, but having lived through this particular adventure with an awesome group of photographers it was that much more special. Thanks Jim and Nick!!!
Great show, Thanks
Love all your podcasts! Been listening for three years, I believe. Your doodads of the week are great as well as all info. I feel great now when someone asks a question and I know the answer. When I first started I didn’t even know what people meant by 2.8 or 4.0 !
And thanks, Nick, for the tip about the Canon 70-300. I have the 70-200 F4 and love it but would love something ‘snubber” to fit in my case. Love the mirror less talk since I have the Sony A7r and love it. Waiting for another one to come out that will tempt me so i can use this one as a backup. So far, nothing.
Keep up incredible work….big fan of Portrait Session since people are my ‘thing’.
Great show, guys! Good discussion about adding soul to landscapes. I see a landscape selfie in my future.
Another great episode from you guys! I listen every week. I need to take a trip out of the country specifically for landscape stills. I always learn something new listening to the podcast such as current photo news, and tips and tricks. Keep it up! This remains my favorite podcast!
Very much enjoy all 4 of your podcasts. I listen and look forward to them for my work commute. I appreciate all the time you guys put into them and I’ve learned a ton. Also enjoy the website. Improve photography plus is a great resource and you’ve done a great job with it. I enjoyed my trial (thank you) and plan on becoming a member when I can commit the time to take advantage of all the great tools you have provided. Keep up the great work.
Great podcast! Iceland is now on my photography bucket list!
Great show! Iceland just moved up the list.
Makes me want to go to Iceland even more!
Another lovely podcast. Iceland sounds like a wonderful place to photograph. The Thinguma tool sound interesting, too.
