Hey everyone! I am excited to share my first photography vlog from Antarctica where I share a very different style of photography than I normally do with portraits on my channel! Today I am doing a mixture of wildlife, landscape and lifestyle photography in Antarctica. For this trip, Brendan Van Son invited me to speak about portrait photography on board the floating photography conference to Antarctica with 8 other photographers. We also had the chance to explore more of Antarctica on the zodiacs to take photos. I have 2 other photography vlogs coming soon from this trip as well! I thought it would be nice to split our week long trip into 3x 10 minute vlogs.. each of them with a bucket load of photos. Let me know what you think of the images!! And if you like seeing me do a different style of photography that's not portraits!

Had a quick question when you brought up your kit.... Looking into tele converters - 1.4x vs 2.0x? Any pros and cons to either?

@juliatrotti 2 ай бұрын

Both the teleconverters are generally pretty good, but I will say it's better to use them with a very sharp lens as they will make you lose a little bit of sharpness on your images. Aside from that, I really enjoy having it on hand! The autofocus still works incredible well with it on, to me I don't feel a difference in performance.

@GemmaHentsch 2 ай бұрын

When filming videos of the wildlife how do you switch between video and photo settings or do you have two bodies? Or does the photo mode switch on the A7IV allow you to do that settings switch easily?

@juliatrotti 2 ай бұрын

I had 2 bodies on me that I would use for photo and video separately as much as I could. Sometimes I couldn't switch out the lenses due to snow/rain/conditions/not having enough hands so I would use my A7IV photo body which normally had my long lenses on it and switched it over to video mode to capture shots like that instead. And yes the A7IV is super easy to switch between photo and video, your camera settings are different between the 2 modes.

@JuliaTrotti Aww. I loved seeing your penguimodels, especially the cute baby micropenguimodel! You've got me thinking about which lenses I would take. I'm a bit torn, but maybe the 135 1.8 GM and 35 1.4 GM? Was it possible (or safe for your camera) to change lenses while you were on the zodiac? The sea lions look so happy and blissful sleeping there. I'll bet that when they woke up, they went out for sushi! Was there anything that you didn't have with you that you wished you had taken...like an ND filter or circular polarizer or a different lens or body? I'm really looking forward to the next video from there. :)

@juliatrotti 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes you can change your lens on the zodiacs just fine as most of the time conditions were calm. There was only 2 times where we had really rough conditions heading back to the ship with really choppy water. The expedition team let us know though so we could all put our gear away safely! I think in terms of gear I brought along way more than I needed lol better to be over-prepared I think! I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything from my kit. Maybe a high resolution camera would have been nice, like the A7RV. But in saying that, I managed to still grab some great frames on my A7IV even when I did some significant cropping :)

Hi Julia! Great video as always, one question, how do stabilize your video with the a7siii? I have an a7iii and the stabilization sucks haha

@juliatrotti 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! Sony have been improving their ibis with every camera release since the A7III. The A7sIII doesn't have the BEST ibis, but it does work well enough. I was using Active SteadShot and the lenses I am using have stabilisation too. I then also did some stabilising in post especially of the wildlife slowmo shots!

Did the camera functioned well in the cold? How cold it was? DID THE BATTERY LASTED NORMAL?

@Laudrengen 2 ай бұрын

Deep breaths now! :) Pro grade camera gear works very well in the cold. Ofcourse the batteries will deplete quicker, but generally I've found it to be quite negligible during my work in Greenland. Mainly you need to be aware of how you heat your gear back up again to avoid too much condensation inside the gear. My advise is to leave it inside your bags when bringing it inside, so that it warms up slower.

thank you @@Laudrengen

@juliatrotti 2 ай бұрын

Yes my cameras did function well in the cold and I had no problems with them. They were often wet from the rain/snow as well and were still fine! And the batteries did drain faster than usual, but nothing super crazy. I would keep spare batteries in a pocket on my jacket so they could be warm when I put them back into the camera :D
