teo crawford 霧中攝影師 松下lumix gx80 記錄的美好春日

Spring has arrived here in Austria. Well, it had arrived. Now it's taken a step back again. Temperatures have fallen back to close to 0°C. And we have a need to refresh snow on the mountains. We're back to winter, I suppose. Nevertheless, the short first taste of spring that we did have was tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And you must know, this is in a way quite exciting for me. Because I moved here to Innsbruck in July last year. So this is my first April and my first spring here. I don't know if you can relate to this. But for me personally, this is exciting. And so naturally, I've been documenting my experience photographically. And in today's video, I'm taking you with me on one of those photography sessions. And that is how this photograph was shot. It was a fine sunny day. And I was in awe of all the flowers blooming and the sun shining. And so I decided it's time to explore yet another area of town. And photographically capture my first spring in Innsbruck. For a change, on this day, I decided to go out with my cute small digital setup. In case you don't know yet, and because I know many tend to wonder. This is the Lumix GX80 paired with the Panasonic 20mm f1.7. On this day, I hopped onto my bike. And made my way to an area where I had decided to just roam around the streets. And see what I can find. Here is shot number one. To be honest, I mostly just shot this as warm-up. I like to do that. However, I do really appreciate the field covered in yellow flowers. So certainly not a bad start. This too was a bit of a shot for the sake of getting a shot. But you know, these mirrors are a bit of a weak point of mine. I tend to really like shooting these. And I think this one isn't too bad either. It definitely captures that sunny spring feeling I'm aiming to document. I was so in love with these puffy pink flowers on these trees. I knew there was potential here. These shots weren't entirely satisfying though. I know that I wanted to capture some wider shots. And decided to walk around to the other side later on. To see if I can find something. For now, I just shot whatever I could find here. I like this one. It's busy yet doesn't feel messy. Something I like here is the scattered lights in the foreground. Here's another one I like for being busy but not messy. Then here, just when I was about to pass the bins. I decided to also mix in some street photography. And focus on a few people. I really like how this one turned out. A scene showing a conversation over the bins. A simple yet interesting scene I find. Next, I found the path I was looking for. To head back to the trees with the puffy pink flowers. But see them from further away. So that I could attempt a wider shot. I tried a few. And here is my favourite. I was waiting for someone to pass below the tree. To add some life to the scene. I really like the composition. And how the photo is split into different compartments and layers. Also, I always appreciate the Nardkete. Peeking up behind many of the photos I shoot in Innsbruck. There is one thing however. That I think could elevate this photo. To a whole new level. But sadly, I didn't get lucky on this day. Imagine another subject on the right in the garden. Such as a person doing garden work. Or simply resting. Or even just a dog. I think that would add a fun dynamic between subjects. I often find myself enjoying photos with multiple subjects. Sadly, today was not the day to get that shot. By the way, I feel the need to address something. Concerning my digital photography. Because I get so many comments asking this. All of my photos are edited. Not straight out of camera. I feel like digital photography was never intended. To capture shots that look good straight out of camera. At least in my opinion. And in my experience. Most digital cameras shoot bland. Neutral. Boring looking photos. Except for maybe Fujifilm cameras. With their film simulations applied. But as you know. I like my photos stylized. And so I simply shoot raw. Which by the way. Straight out of camera looks exceptionally ugly. So that I can effectively achieve the look I want. Later in Lightroom. Where I edit all my photos. For this session actually. I was a little bit lazy. And simply applied a preset. I made a while ago. And then made small adjustments. I named the preset. An old roll of Kodak Gold. I found. Because I wanted to emphasize. The warm and somewhat nostalgic look. This preset goes for. And by the way. In case you're wondering. You can get this preset if you like. It's on my Patreon. With a bunch of other presets. I'm in lockdown or what? Where did I write that down again? I need to tell you something. I finally finished editing that video. And now gone are the days. Of writing my password in a notebook. And gone are the days. Of reusing four different passwords. For like 200 different accounts. I finally got Password Manager. It's NordPass. Reusing the same password. For many platforms can be a weak point. In your cyber security. So I had four. Which is only mildly better. However. Pretty much every password. A human can come up with. Is also a weak point actually. So I've finally changed my passwords. With the randomized password generator. By NordPass. I've been using NordPass. For a while now. And I've finally realized. That this is definitely. The safer way. Of handling my cyber security. This becomes all the more relevant. When working in a team. With people. Who all need access. To a bunch of accounts. For that. NordPass has created their team. Business and enterprise plan. These are basically. The easy solution. To manage and share credentials. And passwords. Within a company. Or a team. So this way. The team saves time. Not needing to come up with passwords. Or reset passwords. Also. Sharing passwords. Becomes way more secure. Because there is no need. To send passwords via email. Or text. Which is a security risk. Oh. And may I stress. How good the password generator is. This saves the whole team. Time and brain power. While also making things easier. Basically. NordPass is the combination. Of security. And convenience. So. If you have a business. Or you think the company you work for. Could need some better security. You can sign up for a 3 month free trial. Of NordPass business. By using the activation code. Teo Crawford. At nordpass.com. Slash Teo Crawford. Thank you so much. To NordPass. For sponsoring this video. And supporting the channel. I was walking back. To the main road here. As I passed these garages. Where a biker. Was just pulling up. I thought this person. Could be a fine subject. For a photo here. This is one. Of my few attempts. And it's a good example. Of what I was going for. I like it. However. While shooting. A second person. Entered the frame. It's very subtle. But I had the luck. That a second subject. Appeared at the top right. Of the frame. Sadly however. My camera missed focus. Somehow. This could have been. An even better shot. I think. If the photo. Were in focus. These focusing issues. Have actually been happening. More recently. Maybe my Lumix's old age. Is catching up now. I mean. It's served me well. For around 7 years. At this point. And it's a little beaten up. But still. It'd be sad. To see it pass. I got this shot. Because I love that. The two inside the shop. Came here on rollerblades. As if they. Just spontaneously. Decided to pop in. And leave with an arm. Full of plants. The composition sadly. Feels a little bit off. Because I was at. A slightly higher angle. But nevertheless. I'm happy. That I captured the scene. Hello. Here. I got a spontaneous shot. Of the guy. Taking out his rubbish. While we. Unfortunately. Don't get to see. Much of the character. I wanted to get this shot. Because I think they add. Some life to the scene. And make it interesting. Then. Here. I came across a box. With free to be taken. Written on the box. I suppose. Someone was spring cleaning. And getting rid of some stuff. I always find these boxes. Super cute. And so. I got this simple shot. I like this one. It's one of the more lively scenes. I captured on this day. And I think it turned out. Quite nicely. Aesthetically. I find it pleasing. The composition worked out. And the way the light falls here. Looks good. And additionally. We have some characters. And a bit of a story. Going on here. Which. I think makes for. An overall. Solid photo. Next. I spotted the. High road. Going through the trees. On the other side of the river. And thought that could be. An interesting photo. As I came closer. However. I spotted something. Much more interesting. Here. Is the result. And. I like this. A lot. I'm super happy. To have basically. Shot two photos. In one here. Initially. I was going for. The road. Going through the trees. But now. I even have the guy. With his dog. Adding life. And context. And atmosphere. To the scene. I really like. How this one turned out. The inner film photographer. Cannot resist. Yeah. I couldn't resist this one. I love how. Filled. With little details. This shot is. It looks a bit run down. Which nicely contrasts. The pretty. And life inducing. Spring light. Here. I had been eyeing. The two cyclists. And. It was here. That I found a neat. Composition. To frame their story. This. Is the result. And I like it. I think the composition. Works well. To tell this story. And convey the disconnect. Of what appears to be. A couple. Obviously. This is just observatory. Speculation from me. But it looks to me. Like the person on the left. Is bored. Waiting for their partner. To finish photographing. The flowers already. I think. I'll call it a day. For today. I'm on my way home. Right now. If I find anything else. I'll show you. But. It seems like. This place is not. As interesting. And so. That was the. End of my little round. Through a neighbourhood. I wanted to explore. This session. Was a full success. I think. First and foremost. I had a lot of fun. And as a bonus. I think I managed to find. At least a couple. Decent photographs. I hope you enjoyed. Joining me on this one. And maybe. You even liked a few photos. Before saying goodbye. I would like to say thank you. To the lovely people.
