Light Painting | Wildlife Photography | Photo Challenge | Fuji GX617 Panoramic Lighthouse Shoot

Рет қаралды 37,486

6 ай бұрын

In this action packed episode of Photography Online, we start what must be the UK's most demanding photo challenge - to shoot all 15 UK national parks in only one week. Day 01 sees them in the Cairngorms and the Trossachs. We then take advantage of the dark evenings by doing some light painting with one of the UK's most experienced night time photographers. We're then off to Chester Zoo to see how difficult it is to take wildlife photos which look like they're in the wild. We reveal the winner of our £2000 photo holiday and take a sneak preview of what to expect from The Photography Show - Europe's largest photo retail exhibition which happens next month at the NEC. We end the show on a remote Scottish island, as we attempt to capture a dramatic photo on a Fuji GX617 camera in 60mph winds.

“You have no idea of what you’re going to get before you see the back of the camera.” That’s true for your Canon, but the Composite Mode feature on Olympus/OMD cameras allows you to view the image building up in real time. I’m surprised other manufacturers haven’t included it by now.

@PhotographyOnline 5 ай бұрын

Where’s the fun or challenge if you use composite mode? It’s as though you don’t need any skills if you have the camera do everything for you. This is a topic we will be discussing on next month’s podcast. What do you think?

We've seen the Chester Zoo documentary before on Belgian national tv, so that topic was very welcome too. Finally, all the teams' dedication to "getting the shot just right" is exemplary... With a special mention for Marcus who took it with an analogue camera. Well done team, this really is amazing stuff. Thanks for all the inspiration you provide!

Hard to believe, but even on the white lighthouse building, the ancestor hundreds year ago added some art feature to it. Look at the window masonries. Because of the missing art, most of our houses look like they are build by losers. My opinion only, of course. By the way, the panorama photo is truly beautiful. Nicely done Marcus!

Nice show but I think you need to broadcast in 4k instead of the 1080p - the images would look even better...

@PhotographyOnline 6 ай бұрын

We record in 4K but output in 1080 because this allows us to zoom and crop. To output in 4K, we would need to record in 8k (or 6k) which then slows the editing process down. Maybe in the future we can increase the resolution. Thanks for the feedback.
