What's In The Bag? w/ Frazer Harrison Part. 1 - the Big Switch

[nytovaok516]

scared to take out the 14-24? give it to me :P

[lakersteve]

I saved enough to quit my full time job and get into full time photography. I've been at it part-time, doing fashion shows, red carpets and weddings. Now, I'm ready to purchase new NIKON equip. I love the tips you give Mr. Harrison. Thanks so much!

[stammerc4]

oh yawn yawn... all that silly little discussion about Nikon vs. Canon. Thing is, both are VERY good. Period.

[TheSupasimon]

heey D video

[Homersloftflims]

I wanna me this guy. He does amazing work and people need to just suck it up because they are jealous because they could never be as good as he is

[baguiopunx]

"Photographers" commenting here something like "why use a full-frame when you're using a teleconverter?" doesn't know what they are saying. Shame, a lot of "photographers" knows little but talks too much.

Anyway, great video! I like this photographer (Frazer H.)! And Getty Images (as a client) is no joke. They demand high-quality photos for their market. That's why a full-frame sensor is an advantage (even better if you have a medium format).

[michonn2]

im going to do the same moving from canon to nikon definitely!

[tomhardiefilm]

I don't know if anyone's already said this, but some photographers are now blaming the iTTL. Apparently (I don't know I shoot Canon), but people are saying that if you stick it in manual, up to 1/16 or 1/8th of a power, then you can fire off hundreds of frames and its fine, but as soon as you use iTTL even for just fill in, it hits this overheating point.. so maybe manual's the way forward? Just some food for thought...

[Xyb3rTeCh]

ohh fuck, nikon

[kaouthiavideo]

I'm guessing the Canon bag to encase your Nikon gear is just to deter people from stealing it? ;)

[sdflksdfkfh]

This guy's a fucking moron. If he's constantly shooting with a TC, why bother with FF? They also make a 2x TC.

[garrick2007]

maybe its safety issues why they set the flash to shut it self off

[DGPHOTO1]

okay now i love to watch these videosfor frazer and katy winn but why did he change? and can you post a video of katy winn with her ne nikon gear to? because i know for a fact that she changed also and was it the whole company that changed to nikon (getty images) thanks

[DGPHOTO1]

@DGPHOTO1 lol sorry *new

[rwind]

What is that ring around his 70-200 lens?

[ossme]

I thought that getty images hands out gear to their main photographers. did you shift or did getty shift from canon to nikon ??

[frazerkh]

@ossme As a staffer gear is provided and the photographer has the choice of the Camera. This wasn't a Getty Images World Wide Switch more of a if you like it you have the choice.The Mk3 was a problem and i'm sure Canon would agree it wasn't their most successful model. But in the professional world if you are lucky enough to be given a choice, then Nikon was the way to go at that time with the D3 over the Mk 3. The trade off been not been able to switch back if you didnt like it.

[frazerkh]

thus no Mk4 for me. It was a gamble, i personally always loved canon products. But I got substantial use out of the D3 before the Mk 4 was released and while not been a perfectly smooth ride, I have seen a vast improvement in the sharpness, consistency of exposure and overall quality. So I can't really complain too much but then I wouldn't be british if I didn't have something to whine about. Those Mk 4 users I have spoken to seem to be happy but aren't really shouting aobut it too loudly.

[neverhood311]

I just wanted to point out that Canon introduced their first full-frame dslr in 2002 with the EOS-1Ds, while Nikon users had to wait until 2007 to see their first full-frame dslr with the D3. Canon is 5 years ahead of Nikon with this feature. So a switch to Nikon is not a switch to full-frame, only a switch to less-tested technology.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a D3, D3s, or D3x. I'm sure they're spectacular. But Canon did have full-frame first.

[Capesports4]

@neverhood311 so canon did it first who cares. The Nikon D3, D3X and D3S are the absolute best camera's in the world. Canon beats Nikon to to the punch with intros but Nikon improves most of the features (they get it first once in a while). Rather have great optics and noise reduction plus a pretty fast shooting speed than a god fast camera with some so-so lenses and ok NR

[neverhood311]

@Capesports4 The only reason I bring it up is that the way he said 'a switch to the Nikon is a switch to full-frame' almost sounded as though he was saying that Nikon was the only one with full-frame. That's all I'm saying.

[deformator2]

@neverhood311 So what?

[neverhood311]

@deformator2 The video makes it sound as though Nikon had some sort of corner on the full-frame market.

[poisonblack83]

@neverhood311 england is the cradle of football but they suck at it :) so your point is not valid :p one day am dreaming of getting like his camera... now i have a d90

[nytovaok516]

@neverhood311 u realize full-frame is film sized, right? and u DO realize that nikon has been making cameras longer than canon, right? so because canon made a full frame digital before nikon that makes theirs better? not quite a very sound argument. FX/full frame isn't a feature, it's a format. autofocus and matrix metering and processors and AF speed are features. get ur vocab straight

[antoningu]

I love these series. Please keep them coming!

[dugapt]

OMG with a full frame camera and it buys a 1.7 conversor? this guy can't be a photoghapher...

[damonwebster]

@dugapt He's actually one of the busiest working photogs around.

[BigPreme]

@dugapt ohhh the internets

[frazerkh]

@dugapt

When you shoot close to 200 fashion shows a year which all have different length runways you will soon discover why you need a converter. Nikon have the 1.4 is too short. 1.7 is perfect it gets you back to the length you need to keep a model in the centre of a Runway when they come out. Not only that a converter can be Very useful when shooting candids. IT has done this job for 25 years and IT knows what IT is taking about. and yes you do loose a bit of quality but IT is worth IT.

[Xyb3rTeCh]

@frazerkh why dont you use 1D which is already a 1.3x crop than that crappy nikon gear?

[scrapdaddy811]

@Xyb3rTeCh anyone that thinks that nikon gear is crappy has never used it or cant afford it.

[FinlandApollo]

@Xyb3rTeCh I doesn't matter do you use canon or nikon, if you are shitty photographer, you won't get better pictures with Canon....

[FinlandApollo]

@dugapt why do you think that?

[baguiopunx]

@dugapt Is there a rule that you can't use a teleconverter on a full-frame camera? The use of that 1.7 teleconverter is to add additional magnification of the glass plus with the use of the great resolution of the full-frame sensor rather than a sensor cropped image.

[Canonfag]

@dugapt

you're an idiot

[MadmanDKDK]

@dugapt

And ? So what if he feels a need to use a 1.7 TC? He actually states the reason, Canon 1Ds aren't full frames, which makes them a but out of place, however Nikon are full frame, so in occasion you would need a 1.7x TC for the 70-200 if you want the reach of the 70-200 on a Canon 1D3 for that matter.

Come on dude, it's simple logic.

[CopperwaiteIdeals]

#LOL cannon bag filled with nikon gear, classic.

really good video id love to own some of the gear the pros use.

[frazerkh]

@CopperwaiteIdeals Not really a canon bag they just put their logo on it it is a think tank Glass Taxi whic h canon cps gave out just before i made the switch,,,And yes it is funny that i also have canon straps on the Nikon...waste not want not.

[scrivphoto]

I think the bag is a Think Tank Glass Taxi

[bannister101]

i love being british, we hate everything haha. but seriously really useful info on the equipment definitely going to influence future choices. Thanks!

[karuntheindian]

Does anyone know what bag that is?

[karuntheindian]

@karuntheindian sry posted before the end of the video

[frazerkh]

Firstly..Yes you can switch it off on the flash.Bad news is the Flash overrides it anyway and will shut down once it hits a max temp. IVE HAD THIS FLASH SHUT OFF AFTER 30 FLASHES

[richardxob]

thx man, keep going like that, for real

[themage747]

Gear matters when you are in, how do you get in and get started? All my attempts to get gigs have failed.

[macbaillie]

You always hear about people switching from Nikon to Canon never from Canon to Nikon.

[Xyb3rTeCh]

@macbaillie because nikon are sucks

[mixmaxdix]

wrong wrong,,,, the field of view is excally the same he was just onot using a full frame canon body like the 5d and 1ds series...

[PsykoOps]

Nice. Only one camera thought? *likes*

[frazerkh]

I do have a second body which i Carry loose ready to shoot over my shoulder. Or use my hard case if I have to travel.

[PsykoOps]

@frazerkh I guessed as much. Didn't look like there were any room in the backpack :)

[frazerkh]

Some gigs I wont even have a large bag,,just a small over the shoulder bag Lowepro big enough to keep a flash some cables and a lens. Gotta travel light and mobile as I dot'n like leaving bags lying around unattended at gigs. But the backback is great as its small enough to work a party or cramped event.

[arkenstone]

He's back! Great, thanks a lot. Really enjoy the videos with him

[saithihahseng]

where is the part 2..?

[damonwebster]

@saithihahseng Coming shortly!

[arseshan]

Why dont to give it to one of them tech fellas n they'll turn the thermometer off for u...permanently...

[RonaldsSulcs]
