iPhoneThe iPhone 6s Bikini Shoot (self.apple)

heyyoudvd が 投稿

I just came across this video and thought it was very impressive.

A professional photographer uses an iPhone 6s, natural lighting, and some $2 pieces of foam from Walmart to create a photoshoot that looks like something you'd see from a professional grade camera and thousands of dollars worth of lighting.

This is actually a pretty informative video!

The girl in the bikini doesn't hurt though.

Fstoppers have always been one of the best places for photography tips, definitely check them out.

Whoah, whoah whoah whoah!

Are you telling me it's the photographer, not the camera?

Nah, don't believe that for a second!

The same with music. Of course a $2k guitar sounds better than a $200 one, but that does not matter if you can't play. An amazing guitarist will sound better on the cheap one than a crappy one on the expensive.

Telling a photographer "wow that camera takes great pictures!" is like telling a chef "wow that oven makes incredible food!"

Yup.

Just like it's far easier to cook with quality cookware it's far easier to shoot pictures with a quality camera.

Doesn't mean you can't without though.

[–]6ickle 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have been told that actually. That it’s because I had great gear the photos were good.

Who said you need to spend $200 on a guitar?

[–]whimsicalsteve 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Give a monkey a $2k guitar and it will sound the same as if you gave him a $200 guitar.

I had a former friend with this belief, he spent $10K on a camera body and a bunch of L lenses and he shot in P mode with Auto ISO.

Unsurprisingly, a lot of his pictures were total shit or had crazy fluctuations due to auto ISO.

Meanwhile, I was using a D7000 with a $200 50mm F/1.8 lens and a external flash, although my setup was "crap" according to my former friend because I spent less than $1500 (big reason why he is a former friend, a lot of my stuff was "crap" to him including my $200K house and $40K car, we can't all be trust fund babies...).

I actually sold my setup a year ago and I've been using a Samsung Note 4 and recently my iPhone 6s to meet most of my photography needs. I don't even feel the need to get another DSLR honestly...

[–]L3ED 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

I switched from a DSLR to mirrorless. Easily the best money I've put into photography. A lot of people think my A7 isn't good because it's smaller than their DSLR's.

[–]DjKronas 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Olympus shooter here

Most clients are shocked when I shoot with something so small

I have so far only only really been looking at the Sony for my landscapes and the dynamic range it provides

[–]NimChimspky 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Om-d model ?

I am tempted but the mk2 m10.

I have an rx100 and like having manual control of settings.

The smaller sensor, and reduced pixel count put me off-should I just not wotty about that?

[–]IPman0128 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

P Mode and Auto ISO were not really the problem I reckon, but not being able to utilise it properly is.

I do a lot of corporate and public event photography, from seminars to conference to comic cons to band shows etc. A lot of the shots are spontaneous and I don't really have time to fiddle with the settings, so I often leave it to the camera to do the calculations, which modern cameras are very good at doing. Then again, my auto ISO is always bracketed in a manageable range (~1600), that helps with limiting the fluctuation.

Smartphone these days are definitely really good cameras, but DSLR (and mirrorless too) definitely still have their place.

You both sound kinda petty. That's not a reason to lose a friend. It'd be a long time joke between two friends.

[–]scubar 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

It eventually got to the point where he made personal insults in the same vein. He got a one way exit out of my life.

But better equipment magnifies whatever ability you have.

And if you're not a prodigy that's a nice thing

Try telling that to the soccer moms that buy a 1,000 dollar camera and all of a sudden they have a whole photography business.

[–]DewArmy 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

You've described every "photographer" I've met in Utah. Some married mormon chick that thinks she can run a business in her basement.

[–]tangoshukudai 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well the camera he used is making a difference, and is finally at the level where it makes this a lot easier.

[–]Dent18 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well yeah no shit a guy with 12 years of experience as a pro can do this

But if you're not that, which like 99.5% of photographers aren't, nicer equipment helps make your life easier and gloss over flaws in your ability

So this girl isn't a model? Wow

[–]bigandrewgold 133ポイント134ポイント  (2子コメント)

That was pretty much a joke. Hes just using his everyday neighbor, who happens to be a model.

[–]beau6183 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Sure, but that just means she knows how to pose. She can do all the posing she wants, but unless the photographer knows the basics that they point out (lighting, composition, etc), the photos will still look like shit.

[–]bigandrewgold 89ポイント90ポイント  (0子コメント)

.....yea. That's the point of the video.

[–]ontarez 21ポイント22ポイント  (1子コメント)

She is (contrary to what is stated in the video), it says so at the end of the blog entry. This is her Instagram.

[–]heatup631 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

His neighbor is a model and he says it in the video so...

[–]Mr_Wayne 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

At the end of the video he finishes the joke saying that the world would be a better place if everyone had a supermodel for a neighbor.

A rookie driver did Nurburgring in 9:37 driving a 400hp Porsche 911 Carrera S. Not bad, uh? Well, a professional driver can beat that time with a Lupo GTI or a Riich G5 2.0T.

[–]Ojisan1 23ポイント24ポイント  (4子コメント)

Sabine Schmitz did the ring in 10:08 in a Ford Transit van.

[–]Garrosh 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Although that was with the help of a Viper. First try was in 10:22.

[–]badbits 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Still impressive for a Transit

[–]ben010783 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

She also knows the track like the back of her hand.

According to her own estimates, Schmitz has gone around the track more than 30,000 times, increasing by approximately 1200 per year.

[–]Ojisan1 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ummm that's kind of the point of this thread. Someone who knows what they are doing can do it well regardless of the equipment. Someone who doesn't, having better equipment isn't going to make you an expert.

[–]Iupin86 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

This guy looks so familiar. I dont think its him but he looks exactly like someone from an old reality show I cant put my finger on. Real World or Road Rules if I had to guess, maybe Survivor.

[–]dafragsta 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

With all this in mind, take another look at those recent photos of Scarlett Johansen without makeup. They deliberately sabotaged those photographs by hitting her with harsh flash photography for maximum shininess. It's the reverse MySpace angle.

[–]Suro_Atiros 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

The camera isn't as important. You can do quite s lot with a d7100 and fast glass. Buy the camera you can afford and save the rest of your money for better lenses.

So he's right, you don't need a d4, but budding photographers would be better off ditching their kit lenses, keeping their DX bodies and investing in fast glass.

I've met a guy who shot with very expensive gear, a Nikon and a Leica. The pictures looked craz sharp and has good colors, but that was it. They had no soul and were boring to look at, yet all his friends were complimenting him telling he took gold pictures. It was very awkward to just nod, as I felt he was a rich guy with too much time.

Then I met another amateur photograph, shooting with a "simple" Nikon D750. He knew he was only an amateur, wasn't raving in the same friends compliments but was still getting a lot of praise. IMO he was a much better photograph yet he had a lesser gear to use.

Great video, it shows you don't need to carry a 4kg DSLR to take good pictures.

[–]fadetowhite 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

I get the spirit of your post, but the D750 is still a $2000, full-frame DSLR used by professional photographers.

The gear doesn't really matter, but if you know how to use it it can help.

[–]halfmilkman 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I like these videos! Someone has made one for pretty much every recent iPhone generation, and it makes me want to take cool pics, but they never look as good.

I've learned this over the years and have learned to take amazing pictures from any smartphone or older model GoPro you hand me.

All of my photography is done on mobile platforms and all my photographer friends rave over them. Here's some examples. http://i.imgur.com/d85Qo6I.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7R06jiu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KMLN6Dl.jpg
