Learning to Photograph Forests
Forests are among the most complex places to photograph. As someone who looks for simplicity in my images, the visually chaotic nature of forests makes them challenging for me to find the kind of compositions I'm usually drawn to. Last December I spent a week in the forests of the Pacific North West at the end of my US road trip with @hougaard_malan trying to learn how to do it.

    While not my favorite lens, the 16-80 is by far my most used lens. This in spite of a couple of weaknesses. Wide open not so sharp, but one notch below 5.6 is / distortion at full wide angle can mess with shots of people on the periphery and be difficult to fix. I use it for performance b&w - perfect range. Great lens.

    Thank you for the video. Rearranging by camera bag and deciding which lenses to include for landscape outings. I normally shoot a lot of portraits and events which like to have faster f/2.8 zooms and even faster primes. Do f/4 lenses work for landscape or do the two lenses need to be f/2.8 zooms? You really didn’t cover this issue or I missed it in the video. Take care.

    • @AndyMumford

      Thanks for the comment. For landscapes you almost never need a fast aperture unless you're shooting astro or aurora. f4 lenses are fine, because you'lll almost certainly close them down a few stops to where you get better optical performance and more depth of field.

    I have been using the GFX 50 Sii and I can honestly say it's a fantastic landscape camera if you don't want the hundred megapixels and honestly 50 is enough. Check out that body. It is so good for landscape photography. It is very slow focusing for pretty much everything else but it allows you to get into the GFX system with the beautiful full frame sensor, in fact that sensor is better in lowlight than the 100. I'm about to the 100s ii. But all I know is once I started using this system for my landscape photography my jaw the ground when I first saw the files on the screen. I just could not believe the level of detail was that possible. It almost felt like cheating. I was never a person to pixel peep but now I actually enjoy pixel peeping to see what this amazing system can create. Definitely keen on the 100s ii

      No, these were taken with a range of lenses, mostly the Fuji XF10-24mm...I don't thank any of them were shot with the Laowa. If you're looking for a light and small ultra wide angle for your Sony I would seriously recommend the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8. I've switched to it and have been really impressed. It's very small and light, has autofocus and performs better than the Laowa (which vignettes quite badly at f2.8).

    What I understand from your recent whats-in-my-bag videos, you carry the 16-80 as well. Considering you carry the sigma 10-18 and fuji 70-300, did you start missing the mid range focal lengths?

    • @AndyMumford
      @AndyMumford 12 дней назад

      The issue is that with the Sigma I now miss the 18-24 range that I had with the 10-24, and with the 70-300mm, I now miss the 55-70 range that I had before. So rather than having a gap between 24 and 55 (focal lengths I rarely used), the gap is now 18- 70mm, which is much larger and includes focal lengths I use a lot.

    How is the GFX system compared to the X system for landscape image quality? I currently have a GFX 100s as well and is thinking about complementing it with a system built around X-T5 which has more and cheaper lens options. I’m not a professional photographer so if the X-T5 system works well for me, I would sell my GFX system.

    • @AndyMumford
      @AndyMumford 12 дней назад

      I can't really answer that without being really subjective...different people look for different things in image quality and it really depends on what you feel content with personally. The GFX has better image quality, it's undeniable...the resolution and clean files are pretty much unparalleled by any system, but that doesn't mean the XT5 isn't good. Whether it's good enough depends on what you're happy with. For myself I'm happy using both systems, and never feel as though the XT5 lets me down in image quality in any way

I asked this question because there were a lot of hypes around the X-T5 and I thought the image quality would be close to full frame or even digital medium format. I have done some research on my own and it looks like GFX still has better image quality. Thanks for confirming this as well! I guess the reason for X-T5 would be weight/size, as you mentioned in a few videos, as well as better lens selection.

    What a great video! It was great seeing how you approached a new environment and thinking about how I would approach the locations you found. Never shot in a forest, either. One idea that came to mind with the stream you found and the lack of a focal object being a real problem. I thought that maybe getting low and wide, and using the water as a base or platform with the branches and sky opening upward instead of all objects converging mid-frame might be interesting. Could also look extremely hokey. Did you try any odd angles like this in your forest photography, and if so, did they come out well? That shot at 12:30 is just beautiful!

      Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. I think getting low to the river...the river would have been an awfully large area of empty space. If it was fast enough flowing to do something with a long exposure that might have worked, but I think it would have just been a large empty dark space at the bottom of the frame

      @@AndyMumford Ah that's a good point. From the high angle there were a bunch of interesting reflections that made the water look brighter but I'm guessing they would have went away down low? Damn physics 😁

    There were some beautiful shots just in the video, I think. Sometimes I shoot video and take a frame out of the film, and create photo which can be stunning.

    Hey Andy,I've been meaning to carry a 55-200 with xt4 and an 18-55, in the same f stop camera pouch for a backpacking trip, but I was wondering what should I use to seperate the primary camera body and lens and the second lense to avoid constant friction or collision.

      I've got one of the foam dividers that come with f stop ICUs separating the two lenses. it doesn't attach to anything, but works to stop the lenses banging together

    Nice to see you here in PNW Andy. And as always love the way you explain stuff and the challenges that you've faced when photographing rainforests.

    It is rare that a reviewer does not compare shots of brick walls (or whatever) and then decides which lens is sharper wide open, in the corners, etc. I appreciate how you show what can be done with this lens and answer the only relevant question: is this a viable lens for this kind of photography. I found your review because I am deciding to replace my 18-55 with this one in my Fuji XT20 travel kit. The 18-55 is great (I shot a book cover with it), but I am tempted by the flexibility of the 16-80. Great video!

    Brilliant!! Many thanks for sharing this with us. I truly appreciated your honesty about how, even for you are an experienced photographer, it was difficult to photograph new landscapes and themes. Your shots were very inspiring and your thoughts about composition extremely useful. Cheers Nico

    I live in Vancouver and can completely relate to the challenges you faced. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out for the day and come back with not much I’m proud of.

      Thanks for the comment. Yep, it really is pretty challanging, and you really need the conditions (mist for example) to help out

    I was probably in Jedediah the same days you were. Unbelievable place. Something I wasn't expecting was the perspective from the car. Seeing the massive trunks just completely overtaking the view is something I will never forget.

      Yep, it's a really amazing place, and the drive through is incredible. We were there in the first week of December last year
