Do whatever you like to do. I do whatever I like to do. None of your business.

For travel, I'd take the zoom everyday of the week over the 35 which is more of a street photography lens.

I took a 35mm f1.8 and a 24-70 f2.8 for my recent travel to Italy and used mostly the 35mm lens. Some days i needed a wider lens but the drawbacks of the zoom lens (weight, bulky and attract more attention) outweigh the pros of it. When I am looking at the pictures now I thought I took some of those pictures with the zoom lens where in fact after checking the exit I realized they were with the 35mm. I think taking the two lenses was the right decision.

Maybe start lifting weights. Just kidding. For me 24-70 f2.8 is my cake and I eat it to..

So you don't need a model release even when the photo is being published in magazines like National Geographic? What if it is on the cover?

Хорошо!!!!🎉

Its happening to me also

Good idea. Like having a coach during the trip. 😊❤😊❤😊❤

Great idea. I'm about to set off travelling for about 15 months. Starting early November.

I one million percent support this. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

a monthly theme such as full moon, night photos, people in urban settings, seasonal changes... I understand your channel is global. this might bring a photographer into some unexpected challenges

tyvm for the video. I've taken the survey, but to be honest, I enjoy your videos more for the ride (and knowledge) that I'm currently enjoying here on RUclips. Whichever platform you choose, I hope it is not set up to take as much personal info as often as possible. This is why I avoid 'free' platforms like Discord - there is always a catch. I love traveling and I love taking photographs of my travels, but I don't consider myself a 'travel' photographer. I enjoy photographing man-made things coinciding with nature, textures colors and shapes. I'm not so much into people photography, but if I see something that grabs me I'll take a pic. Whatever you charge for maintaining this 'community', I hope it is worth the time and effort of keeping humans corralled. It doesn't look hard at all - it looks impossible. My personal preference would be to post my next destination and learn tips on where to go and how to get there if someone has already made the trip. I am all for feedback, but it seems all too easy to get buried by the amount of images that will come your way. I wish you the best of luck!

I like the idea. I'm traveling soon on a photography journey, and it could be very handy to have a photography support group

I think that would be great. Flickr might be something you could utilize as part of it. Would love to see EXIF displayed for any photos as well. Great idea!

It's so great to be able to have this group, it's something I always miss...to share, learn, exchange with other photographers

I like this idea!

Absolutely love this idea, Mitchell!

Not a fan of the overuse of the blurry background. I know y’all do it because ‘everyone else does it’s, but maybe ask yourself “why am I doing it” because actually doing it. In some situations it can probably work but for most situations you’re just isolating the subject from its environment. Which is a massive part of who they are. It also draws in the eye and distracts from the subject because the human eye/brain tend to pick out abnormalities. This is probably the opposite of what you think you’re doing. In reality you’re drawing attention away from your subject when you do the blurry background. That is why everyone notices your ‘artistic use of the bokeh’. When the entire point of the technique is to isolate the subject. I also think that often when it IS appropriate that the background isn’t blurred enough. There shouldn’t be enough information left for my brain to have an opportunity to easily decipher what it’s seeing because again, that will draw the eye away from the subject. The background needs to be blurry to the point if making the subject pop or the effect doesn’t work at all. Just my 2 cents.

I think that travel is not a standard thing in photography. In Europe for example there are many cities with Medieval roots so the streets are very narrow so you need a very wide lens. If you want to take pictures is shops, churches or museums you need a bright lens. ruclips.net/video/cgV9VS1OR8c/видео.htmlsi=JQcPrj2g6Qe4IzZN

Amazing images and great video! Currently in Brazil too and I can relate a lot. One thing though: do you speak Portuguese? Although I find Brazilians very open, I still find it would make my life much easier if I could communicate with them directly as no one speaks English

Great still photos, though I have to say that I think the moving images of this video are generally better than the stills.

Why do I do a photo-tour? I go on a photo tour (no more than 10 guests - often 5). I go to experience a special place and more importantly unique peoples for the first time. I then return alone again or even more times utilizing the local company and guides that I have encountered on the "photo tour". My return trips are typically one-half the price or twice the length, once both, for what I paid for the first visit. The benefit is that the guide is familiar with the way I operate and what my photography goals are. It is the local company and local guides who do all the work and have all the local knowledge and local contacts. This has worked out fabulously for me in Cambodia, Ladakh India, Nepal, and Omo Valley in Ethiopia.

For my travel lens I take the Tamron 35-150 F2-2.8 + for my wider shots, I use Iphone 15 pro max.

1:22 hahaha, what a surprise that Fuji drones are triggered XD

I always listen to your stories with great pleasure, not only from a professional point of view, but as an art of transmitting information and a great desire to share this information with a huge of people. Everything reminds me of radio productions from the 60s and 70s with the participation of some significant author or writer. And as a result, you are together with the heroes at the same place, you heart is beating the the charecters I wish you great success and, most importantly, emotional and physical health. God bless

Appreciate all the advice. I have been photographing for about 1 year and this is exactly the kind of tips I'm looking for to help level up my skills.

Back in the day before digital photography when every photo you took meant paying for processing (unless you were processing your own photos and then you could be a little more selective) photos sniping was probably a lot more common. He wanted to make sure that you were really clear and certain about the photo you were going to take before you actually snap the picture. I still have this mindset unless I’m photographing flowers which I’m super passionate about. Then I just take massive photos and them and and left with thousands of photos to go through at the end of the day. But Bob Ross used to say there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents. 😊

my trick for getting the "real" emotions and not a posted picture is to wait. People can only hold themselves for like 5-6 seconds - especially in a group. Then they usually break up. which is when I hit the shutter a few times. I also tell people to "look more happy" which is somewhat sarcastic - but can often break their poker face and bring out the real emotions, the way others see and remember them. I do capture motion blur in portraits, but whipping and twisting my camera. timing the rear curtrain flash with the right framing. It really brings the background into disarray and can at times look like reverse light painting. I don't publicly share those images or post to instagram - the sensitivity of the pictures and the privacy I provide allow me to keep capturing these moments and only share them with those pictured.

The best lens is that which you use all day long. Most who start with a zoom will seldomly switch to a prime. As the switch of lenses can be a hazzle and by Sony often means you have to clean the sensor 😊. 35 mm on FE or 20 on apsc crop are most perfect for a more stealthy street photography like in old days 😊. A quite good option is the Tamron FF 17-28 mm. Esp if you are not willing to pay for the comparable gmaster Sony lens. But if you don't mind the financial aspect and the size of a bit larger to say touristy size take the G master zoom from 16 to 35 mm

Inspiring work! Haven’t seen such fresh and authentic video in a while and the photos are outstanding. You must have deeply reconnected to your inner artist again in those days. What setup and Brand are you using! The look of the Lens is incredible!

Here is what I choose for one-lens/one-body photography: 35mm f/1.4 my personal favorite prime for full-frame cameras 28-70mm f/2.8 my personal favorite zoom for full-frame cameras 23mm f/2 my personal favorite prime for APS-C cameras 23mm f/1.4 my personal second favorite prime for APS-C cameras 16-55mm f/2.8 my personal favorite zoom for APS-C cameras 20mm f/1.7 my personal favorite prime for micro 4/3 cameras 28-140mm f/1.8 to f/2.8 equivalent fixed zoom lens on compact digital cameras

Anyone who can suggest...is it good lens to shoot hiking videos as i have CANON D700.. ....????Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di ii LD Aspherical (IF) Macro- Nikon fit....

I think the "gear doesnt matter" crowd needs to realize that you need some minimal baseline of gear to really do photography. And that point is often lost. Like you need some kind of light to do portraits inside, you need a microphone to do video, you need a lens to make a photo.

Beautiful and Inspiring 💌

Incredible storytelling, well-done

I'm pretty sure this is the first video of yours that I've watched. The first thing I did after watching this vid was give it a like and a subscribe. I truly enjoy your shooting style. Your images capture the feeling of what it's like to be there. I'm glad that you concentrate on photographing the emotions of your subects rather than concentrating on the rule of thirds, framing the subject, or whatever rule a technical photographer might harp on. Honestly it took me several minutes of looking at your photos to even notice that you threw some of the photography rules out the window. You seem to understand that the most important rule of taking images is finding the joy in the moment rather than some rule that so many photographers seem to insist that we observe. Thank you for sharing, and I intend to watch more of your work.

tamron 28200 just kills the game

I had this come up during my watch later... while editing photos. And the one direction I took to heart directly was the idea of challenging the viewer intellectually. Sadly I am not doing much photography anymore - but I now want to take this approach for next time. Ask a question with the photo. As I have a lot of portraits in front of me, there isn't much questions to be asked. So maybe I engage differently next time. pack a wider lens to avoid doing too much portrait

I have seen several of these videos. I LOVE seeing how each photographer gives a different atmosphere to the same trip. So nice... This is, definitely, my favourite so far.

I love my Sony 24-104 and 24GM for my travels! 24-105 for daytime and 24 for night shoots!

For a single-prime-lens-only situation, definitely, I’d pick the Sigma 45mm f2.8; it is affordable, very small, high performing. I use it with the S9, a fantastic combo.

As the father of three girls, I’m really impressed with your daughter!

Welcome to my Country! I hope your trip could be very Nice! If need more info about some places in another province let me know and If You visit Buenos Aires I invite You for a Coffee or Mate. In the meantime try some of our Best food: empanadas or alfajores. Greetings!

what a wonderfully intendent, confident young girl!

I think anyone who is a father can connect to this video. I happen to watch your movie while we are on a family vacation on the rugged island of Corsica. And I had a very similar experience just yesterday, trying to discover a path through the maquis (the bush in French) with the kids. Simple thing, yet, a nice experience together. But hey, your daughter seems to be a very strong character at the age 9, something tells me you'll have your challenges as a father :) (in a good way of course!) . All in all, it was great to see something more personal from you. People are probably not only following you for professional photos, but also for your special lifestyle, your way of living, so yes, we are interested to see how this life stlye looks like behind the scenes.

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Going down the mountain is always harder!

Great video & lovely adventure. Just out of curiosity: what sort of safety precautions do you take when you're out in the middle of nowhere like this? Do you have a satellite phone or some kind of beacon for emergencies? Do you let someone know where you're going and when you expect you back?

I enjoyed this Mitchell and your daughter is precious! You said you want her to be strong and brave but she already is. 😀 I love the color grading on your video btw. I love that she knew "arbusto". Cheers.
