Meine Objektive, deren Wirkung + Bildbeispiele - Teil 1 -  Alexandra Evang Photographie

Hey everyone it's great that you're watching this YouTube video I hope you're having a beautiful Advent season For those who don't know me yet my name is Alexandra Ewang I work as a horse photographer specializing in horses and especially their people We offer workshops and also coaching in this area And in this video I want to show you my equipment We have an Instagram account called alex-lovesnelly And there it's always asked which lens you used to take the photo what do you recommend And this video I would like to use to show you my favorite things One important thing to note upfront the video naturally contains a lot of advertising This is all unpaid advertising so to speak heartfelt advertising because these are things we work with regularly or sometimes not so regularly The second piece of information is that I have a calendar which you can see here in the background This is the Horse Love Calendar for the year 2020 And you can win it in our penultimate YouTube video Also if you still want to join in feel free to do so I would really appreciate your support as well Please give me a thumbs up if you like the videos And now let's start with the video Okay we've already set everything up for you You've probably already noticed Actually it would also be cool if this were a giveaway right now Or if I were pulling things out here that you could then win But we're not that far yet Maybe when the channel is a bit bigger someday We'll see We'll just start right away with the biggest treasure It's quite a lot I always notice it when I lift it up This is basically the combination I work with the most I would like to introduce you to the lenses in this video And then you will also see example images directly afterwards which were created with the optics So you can make a small image of it yourself The lens that is on the front is from the company Nikon This is a 300mm This means it is a prime lens I shoot continuously at 300mm This is not a zoom lens With f/2.8 Also the widest aperture I can use with this lens which is f/2.8 This is my all-time favorite combination the one I currently use a lot This is the Nikon D850 We are even filming them twice with the same camera right here at this moment And the other one I have here in my hand so we have a backup camera Marco if you haven't met him yet he also uploaded a YouTube video last week It's about Adobe Bridge This film also uses the camera really well That's what I was just about to say Exactly that's the lens that I just absolutely love It's relatively hard That means you really have to like it even having it in your hand I find the quality of this optics really unmatched And I love it especially because I am so far away from the team When taking photos you have to speak loudly So it could also be a small disadvantage But I love being so far away because then I also have the opportunity to capture countless quiet moments People are somehow also a bit out of it at this moment So out of the scene and just with their voice And I think many teams feel unobserved in front of my camera which I find totally beautiful And that's a really impressive bouquet That means it's really beautiful when taking photos And I have a really really nice blur in the background which I really like Also this is an optic that I use a lot a lot and I would never do without it I had it even back then when they were still analog I've really been using the 300mm for years It had already been a very long time even before I even had a full-frame camera Yes and this is what the results look like now We will be a bit shorter in the optics section That is we will continue with the 70-200 The 70-200 is a lens that many wildlife photographers use which is also really really great Also I love it too It comes from different brands I also use it from the company Nikon with a 2.8 aperture Also there is also a version with a more closed aperture Then it is naturally accordingly a bit cheaper to buy I think we've had this version for about two years now And I have to admit I use it really rarely It's a bit of a shame because it's really impressively sharp in terms of quality and is also a really great lens But because I have my 300 it's not used quite as often And I have to say I'm just a total fixed focal length enthusiast Now some of you are probably wondering Hey and why did you put that thing back in the sales hall No I wouldn't do that either because I just need it It offers me a necessary flexibility that I don't have with the 300 And it's always just with you in your pocket There are also sometimes stalls where there isn't much space Small weiden where I want to take pictures of horses running free would be too small for my 300mm lens We also had a situation once in the morning by the lake There I couldn't even get the 300er there That wouldn' t have offered any possibility at all And then it's always an absolute treasure Then I have it with me I just have the opportunity at I have a 70 to 200 mm zoom lens that is the ability to zoom in and out with the lens And so much more on my picture to capture That's why it's always with me And by the way I also really like it for dogs Also if you're considering and only have money for a single lens although the price difference is still relatively high I think it costs about three times as much as this one Then I would recommend this to you first simply because you are more flexible with it and because it is also very good in terms of quality and also a bit easier Generally I would recommend you I'll just mention it here If you're unsure which lens is right for you and you 're currently looking just go to a specialty store I am really a big fan of supporting local specialty stores and local specialists There you can try the products And there you can also rent things for a day or two for a fee When I was a student I studied in Düsseldorf there I also used it very happily and very much That I just borrowed things And another very important piece of information in case you didn't know yet Traders often also sell used items This means you don't always have to buy everything new They have lists where you can also check online what is being sold there and it's also possible that someone has 300s Or even gets a used 70-200 lens then it's cheaper And just the traders are giving an additional year of warranty on the items I'd rather not say all of them because I obviously don't know that for sure But the traders I know still offer a one-year warranty on the items which is naturally good And now again here with this lens Some example images for you We will stick with the long lenses This is the next one This is from the let's say 1 2 3 long lenses the one that is the shortest in my possession And now another company is also involved because this lens is made by the company Sigma This is an 180mm That way I'm a bit closer to the teams and she doesn 't feel quite as addressed during the photo shoots No that's obviously just a joke But sometimes it's really like that Especially when I'm photographing by the sea and have a 300mm lens on You have to speak quite loudly so that you can be understood at all Maybe some of you know this situation If you also work with optics feel free to comment and share your funny experiences Also getting a bit closer to the team here And I've also come to absolutely love the lens this year I just like it when a lot of photos are taken This is a bit lighter than the 300mm I really like it because it's a prime lens I just have a thing for prime lenses Somewhere already all along I really like that I really like the quality And now comes the part Why I also really love this lens It is a macro lens That means I really have the opportunity Get as close as possible to the team and can as I mentioned earlier be in quiet moments From moments that are relatively uneventful We even have an entire shooting package which is called what you can book with us And these are precisely the moments that might just happen by chance Perhaps it's just a hand with the horse's mouth The horse's eye or whatever it is And with this perspective you now have the opportunity to get very very close to your team You can also photograph flowers insects anything you want with it This macro lens is really great for that I don't think it's suitable for capturing movement because it's really too slow Because now one could again say Hey but if you have the 180 and the 300 then just sell your 70-200 But this is much much slower for motion capture than this one And they are just in their own things For which I use it but completely different This is as mentioned a bit of a cover-up to have more space Maybe also take some more photos with a bit more location And this place is really beautiful for portraits Also I think portraits are great this way and also close-up shots also moments that are very very close These two are about the same price by the way I think this one is a bit more expensive But they don't do that much so when it comes to pricing Exactly this one too one of my favorite lenses I really like it a lot And now there are also example images for you here P S I just remembered this little gem is actually a discontinued model So you might want to take a look Whether you can get it a bit cheaper from your trusted dealer Just check it out And I really hope really that Sigma will bring a successor to the market Like I said because I just really love it We continue with my cameras because I also want to introduce them to you briefly The cameras I use They are all full-frame cameras now That means we simply installed a large sensor These are all cameras from the company Nikon I had already mentioned at the beginning that the camera I work with the most is current as of December 2019 Who knows what will happen when you watch the video a year later But the current status I prefer to work with the Nikon D850 As mentioned it is a full-frame camera with a very high resolution That means a lot of pixels now I find them really fast and I like the simple ones It fits well in my hand and I think that's also always important That means if you're interested in a camera here's the old reliable tip Consider what your budget is How much money do you want to spend Generally I would always say Optics are more important than the camera So first of all make sure you have good optics Then look at the camera That's how I would at least do it because of course you can't afford everything right from the start I know that all too well And then you just try them out And as I said the Nikon D850 is highly recommended Then we have this gem here This is the D810 This is simply the predecessor of the D850 They are hardly used anymore but we still have them as a backup camera Especially when Marco and I are traveling together and we have film jobs Then Marco is filming with a D850 I am photographing with a D850 and we always like to have something else along Well just imagine we travel somewhere the camera breaks down or something happens then we still have the option To switch to the D810 It's also a great camera It's just the previous model That's why we simply work more with the D850 Okay the next camera which I would like to introduce to you is briefly the Nikon D750 And they exist so often so incredibly cheap in quotes because it' s still a lot of money But really so often cheaply offered And I can recommend that to you You can already see it's quite a bit smaller I think it also feels really good in the hand We also bought them new some time two years ago And that's our travel camera We had such a camera for a while a really small mirrorless camera for traveling But somehow yes Somehow we just like reflex cameras and found them to better in quality than the ones we had before That was also not comparable in price and so on We hardly ever used them so we kept switching back And that's why it's like that you can also see it it's a bit dirty on the side here That's really the camera e ones we often take for a walk the ones we take on vacation the one that's also sometimes just in the backpack Also just the camera for on the go and our photos We also produce a lot of great content always for our Instagram account And for quick shots the camera is really good Of course also for professional photo sessions So there are a lot of great photographers ey are mainly used for work Also if you are looking for a good full-frame DSLR camera Naturally it is assumed that you would also like a Nikon camera then I can highly recommend it to you It is also simply much cheaper than the D850 if that is important to you Also how expensive the equipment is Exactly that's it for this part These were the three main lenses plus the three camera models that I like to work with And these little treasures the ones that are here at the top you 'll see them in part 2 of the video So be sure to watch it again You could tell us which of the three perspectives would fit you best where you say if money didn't matter right now That doesn't matter right now if you say I would like the optics and the results meaning the result photos I also liked those the best Send me a comment about it right away That would really interest me Maybe you also have a picture Where you say it really that came about with the optics I hadn't thought of that at all I would have thought it was the one or the other Could you also write something sometime I always enjoy reading
