15 Minute Photo Challenge - Kens Field

It's time for another 15 minute Photo Challenge.

I always say that great photos are everywhere, you just have to go and find them. So my friend Ken put me to the test and challenged me to complete a 15 Minute Photo Challenge in his empty field.

Not surprisingly the photo opportunities were limited, but they were still there.

For those that want to know about the camera strap... It's the RS-7 from Black Rapid.

hi. your videos are very informative! congratulations!

by the way, what kind of strap do you use to hold your camera in such way that it makes so useful to take pictures and at the same time, just hold the camera down? (sorry my bad english)

@luisfbmelo91 I'm using the RS-7 strap from Black Rapid in this video

[hiizm3]

what lens where you using? I have a canon 2.8 50mm, would that get similar results? thanks!

[PhotoGavin]

@hiizm3 It's a 60mm Macro. Unless the 50mm you have is a true macro you'd struggle to get the close up stuff. Other then that it's fine.

@ArtistWoOoOo Honestly it's not about the camera, it's you that makes the difference. That's the point of the video. Have look at the world around you and you'll find photos.

hey gavin, i bought a macro extension tube kit $35 to shoot macro. its a pretty good set. i love it, it allows me to shoot macro with all my lenses. do you think extension tubes are as good as a dedicated macro lens.

@PhotoGavin That is good to know. I always felt like Photoshop was kind of cheating, and it is used to make up for lack of skill.

But it truly does make things look better, I think I will use it more

@MrChangCJ

Dude..I know how you feel...keep watching guys like this, studying, and shooting...10-20% was my ratio a little while ago....honest...now it's around 30-40% depending on the shoot/location...and growing everyday!

I'm not there yet, but...you get to a point where you can see the shot that you're going to take and how it will look, before you even hold the glass to your face. That's what it's like for Gavin and the other pros, i'm sure!

Keep workin on it dude...just takes practtice.

@PhotoGavin

I normally like your tuition videos but your last segment of this video showed a fence some string and farm machinery and you chose a buttercup, surely these buttercups could be found in many places why did you not use the barn or its contents.
