All language subtitles for Episode 21 Equipment

Hello friends, how are you?

How are things going?

I hope everything goes as best as possible

and well, don't worry, this is not a

market, it is not that I want to

take away all the Nikon team, because at

the moment, although the technical service in Spain

is shit, the brand as good as such

at the moment, well, it serves us fucking

mother, but I don't want to talk about

that.

If you see that I have assembled all

this, it is because finally, after I don't

know how many months, since December, we are

finally getting married.

We had to have started the season in

March, in fact, the day before we got

married, or two days before we got married,

the first video we prepared for Patreon was

this, in which we showed you all the

team we were going to work with.

I don't know if it was a gaffe,

I don't know if it was bad luck

or it was the fucking virus, that in

the end there was no wedding as it

was logical, I'm talking about March 14th, obviously,

the beginning of the pandemic, and well, now

it seems that after having received a lot

of slaps, a lot of very bad experiences,

which is not a plan to make me

cry here, because it will not be the

case, surely all of you have gone through

what we have gone through, right?

From postponed weddings, canceled weddings, to even the

last wedding a couple of weeks ago, which

we had to have done in London, in

which the couple, because they were Spanish and

because they were a country where we could

have a virus, they rejected us directly.

As you can imagine, everything has happened to

us, as to all of you, so we

are not going to talk about all the

penalties, but about what it does, which is

a little bit, well, talk about the material

with which we normally work, or in the

specific case with which we are going to

take for the wedding, okay?

In other words, this wedding that we have

is a wedding outside of Spain, it is

in Austria, with which we will have to

move between airports, with which, well, the luggage

that we are going to take, if I

say luggage for cameras, well, it will be

the minimum, and clothes too, because also with

the girlfriend who has told us that she

is from the Alps, with which she has

told us that in her car there is

almost no space, and with which almost all

the space we have is for cameras and

equipment, and for clothes we go with the

opposite.

So I hope that in the airports or

this, that we do not have problems with

any type of luggage, because if not, I

don't know how we will do the wedding,

right?

But well, what we are going to start

with, what you see here is both the

equipment, that is, both Erika's and mine.

The only thing missing here is the camera,

that is, the 850, which is the one

that is recording now, but if not, it

would be the equipment, that is, I mean,

we always work, both Erika and I, with

two camera bodies.

Here I have the D5, it is the

battle horse of mine, with which the one

that takes the most photos, or the one

that takes the most shots, because it will

always go with the 35 and then the

850, which is the one that is recording,

will always go with the 85.

The 35 that we use is the 35,

it is the 1.8 G, okay?

And despite the fact that we have had,

and in fact we still have it, because

I am one of those types of photographers

in which they never sell anything, I mean,

for what they are going to give me

for a camera, I almost keep it because

it is part of my story, with what

I have learned, with what I have suffered,

with what I have enjoyed, with which I

have all the cameras since I started, from

the Nikon F60 D negative to the D5,

and I am not going to sell anything

at the moment.

Okay, as I was telling you, we had

or we have the 35 F2, in its

time I bought the 1.4 and despite

the fact that the quality is huge, it

is super heavy and it is not the

problem that it is heavy, because after all,

it is very slow and for the type

of reportage that we use, we need something

that goes a little fast.

The F2 was very fast, but with the

full frame format, the aberrations were already very

large, so then this is the lens that

we use, it is the 1.8 and

it simply goes like pearls, it is super

fast and its price is super good.

Then we have, as I was telling you,

with the F850 I am going to work

with the 85mm 1.4, I am always

a supporter or I have been a supporter

of always working with the lenses of the

same brand as the camera, they are my

manias, I have not tried any brand like

Sigma or other brands, but in my case,

these lenses are the ones I always work

with.

As you already know, I have the 45mm

Tiltshift, it is the one that you already

know that I adore and that in fact

I created a video, it is the first

chapter that I made for Patreon, it is

the one that I talk about this one,

if you have not seen it, I recommend

it.

This one is only going to go for

portraits and portraits that I have time, because

remembering that it is manual and all these

things.

Let's go through Erika's bodies.

Erika works with the Nikon D3S, for me

it is one of the best cameras that

Nikon has made in its entire life, we

also have the Nikon D3 and in fact

we bought the D3S right after for a

great offer.

It is a camera that I broke the

shutter, well, they give you to use it

and Erika has also loaded it.

We could have bought a new camera, a

couple of years ago, when he broke the

shutter for the last time, but hey, for

the way we work with it, I mean,

of course it is better for the 5,

right?

But the D3S is fantastic and I assure

you that it still takes incredible photos and

with this little thing I have made almost

the best photos of my life, so I

have a huge affection for it.

Let's go for a much worse camera, we

are talking about the D700.

The D700 along with the D100 and the

D2H were the worst cameras that Nikon has

built.

The only thing that is saved from this

camera is the CCD, it has a huge

latitude and you can stretch it enormously, right?

But the tones it gives are not cool

at all, they are super complicated, for example,

to correct, inside it is a real shit,

that is, it is a disaster of a

camera, that is, if we compare it with

an old one like her, that is, it

is that it is ...

and well, it is that it is already

seen, okay?

Plastic sheet.

The story that we had planned for this

year to buy for Erika an AD850 like

the one she is recording, but hey, what

has come has come, the virus came and

we decided that it did not make much

sense to buy a camera at the moment,

so if next year everything continues to be

or returns to normality more or less and

we already start to have weddings, then yes,

we will buy a camera, right?

But for the moment Erika says that we

have to wait a little longer, okay?

With respect to what lenses are for her,

it will go with the 35mm like mine,

the same, and the 85mm will go instead

of how I wear the 1.4, she

wears the 1.8, okay?

If I tell you something, when I go

to a workshop, when I go on a

trip and if when Erika was pregnant, for

example, that she did not accompany me, I

stole this from her, because I assure you,

if we compare the 1.4 with the

1.8, this is much faster and it

is very rare that I use 1.4,

because normally with the 35mm I will always

work with 3.5mm more or less of

diaphragm, 2.8 as a limit, unless I

want to do something very very rare and

that I will use the 1.4, but

in her case it is not worth it,

that is, with which, speaking of the 85mm,

it is perfect, right?

Because well, 1.8 is very fast, but

the truth is that if we compare weights,

it is twice as light and the quality

it gives is simply brutal, right?

And speaking of lighting systems a little bit,

I would like to start first with the

LED, this one is called Suitronic Torch LED,

which is quiet because, well, when I finish

the whole video, I will write all the

gadgets, from lenses that we use, flashes and

the LED, okay?

The LED is a hobby of mine, but

the truth is that I love it a

lot, because as you can see, it has

both to play with cold light and with

light, you see that it gives a lot

of quality and it works very well for

me, for example, for moments like photos for

sunset, to play with what are color temperatures

and they usually give very, very interesting results,

okay?

Let's go for flashes, this is the first

wedding in which I am going to use

these magnificent Profoton flashes that he has lent

me and Nova Photo, the truth is that

he lent them to me for February, thinking

that in March he was going to use

them, but it has taken six months, so

I hope they go pearly, yes, I have

tried them at home, we have done tests,

the light is brutal, so we will really

see, okay?

Ah, I forgot, none of these brands that

you see that I am talking about is

turning me off, so if it is necessary

to say that the Nikon system of something

or the camera is a shit, then I

will say it and if it is necessary

to say that a flash gives good light,

as it is obvious, I will say it,

okay?

That is obvious, so I do not tie

my hands yet to tell the damn truth,

okay?

I am going to go with these, okay?

And Erika is going to go with two

flashes that there should be one here, and

here we have another, the Nikon SB5000, I

have tried them in the last weddings of

last year and they are really very good,

the quality it gives is powerful, powerful, powerful,

and then the only thing that differentiates this

one and this one, well, in addition to

the light, of course, is that all the

shots it makes are the same amount of

light, I mean, if I put it at

a medium, for example, all the shots I

make will go to a medium, this is

huge and super important, as you already know,

despite the fact that this one is super

improved compared to the predecessors, depending on how

we put chips in it, depending on if

we give it war, if we are working

at a medium, the first shot will be

at a medium, the second a little less

and the third and fourth will already go

down and the fifth may not shoot, you

understand?

Although the batteries that we actually use are

the ones in the loop pro, every year

we renew them, okay?

Because as it is logical, each year they

are spending and well, despite the fact that

we use that type of rechargeable batteries, sometimes

it fails, right?

Regarding the emissions, for example, of Profoto, well,

I am going to use the typical of

Profoto, okay?

As everyone knows, but Erika is going to

use the Yongnuo, the 622N, okay?

The truth is that I have used them

all my life and they are great, they

are very, very cheap and if they break

as sometimes that happens, then nothing happens, right?

What else, what else, what else, okay?

We are going to take the artillery, because

if you have to put it in the

party or at a given moment of the

preparations or something, if you have to put

the flash, remember, neither Erika is my assistant

nor am I her assistant, each one works

independently, with which no one is going to

help him, unless that suddenly I have an

idea or she has an idea and I

say, hey, please, hold the flash there, I'm

going to hold it, but as you already

know, it is not going to be the

case, right?

That we work one that helps the other,

but quite the opposite.

Another little thing, super important, this piece of

suction cup, as you have already seen in

some of the videos that I showed you,

in case you have to put, that is,

if you have to stick the flashecito somewhere.

Of course, as soon as we go, they

have already notified us or I have already

sent the bride through different photos or links

with the locations, because on this occasion there

will not be time to visit, to check

anything, that is, we are going to go

to the f*****g total adventure, because the day

before we arrived, but we arrived at night

and the next day, apparently, we started at

6 in the morning, with which there will

be no time to check anything, but we

have seen that the places, both the dinner

table, it is a completely wooden place, with

very low ceilings, and the rest are done

in the same house as the bride, and

we have already seen that it will not

be necessary more than the hand flashes, I

mean, with this, we are not going to

go with feet or with mini tripods to

hang all the flashes, but we will simply

take them over the camera and we will

continue to play with moving them or as

we see, from one place to another, or

as many times I like to do, I

bounce it back and it gives me a

pretty interesting light, okay?

More things, more things, we have talked about

cameras, we have talked about light and we

need to talk about, well, this pijada, I

am not going to take photos for the

grooms, but as you already know, I am

going to try to record little things for

Patreon, so that you can see how we

work on this wedding, because, well, it's going

to be a show, right?

Because to start, we haven't worked for so

long and we don't know when we will

have the next wedding, it may be the

next weekend, but how things are, who the

hell knows, right?

So then, well, I take this and well,

if I can record something, well, I will

record something so that you can see what

type of wedding, right?

Sound, sound, this little thing that I am

recording here, as you are seeing, okay?

We take this so much that I will

hang it around here, I suppose it has

fallen on us, and we will hang this

on the groom, well, for a long time,

well, during the whole ceremony and surely, well,

during the speeches.

Why?

Because, as you already know, part of the

speeches or part of some words are going

to be used or may be used, who

knows, for the future slideshow, right?

I mean, as you already know, in addition

to the photos, we will deliver a slideshow

and also an album, right?

But in the case of the album, it

will not have audio, of course, but the

slides, yes.

And as you already know, we want to

personalize it a lot, so, well, this little

thing, well, we don't take it, okay?

And surely, well, it helps us a lot,

okay?

More sound things, as you already know, this

little thing here, okay?

We are not going to use it to

record speeches, because the sound it creates, finally,

when it is so far away, it is

not very clean, but it is perfect, for

example, to record the sound of a storm,

of a rain, of a cow, for example,

mowing, whatever, right?

In other words, to record the ambient sound

in a super, super good way, right?

As I say, we do not know what,

well, what we are going to find, so

we are going to the Alps, so there

may be cows, it may rain or it

may not, that is, we are going, well,

a little adventure and we are going to

be ready, okay?

And for now, that is the equipment, okay?

And, sorry, both Erika and I, we are

going to take these two backpacks, she is

the same as mine, this is the ThinTank

Retrospective 30, and it is a backpack that

I love, that is, in fact, I had

a previous plan, but I was going without

this leather thing , we happened to buy

it three years ago out there, and well,

we wanted to buy both to go a

little together, both, right?

With the same material.

I do continue, well, I continue to love

it, it is perfect for flying and all

these things, but Erika does not finish convincing

her and she is thinking that for next

year we may buy a Rollei in which

it has some wheels and it is twice

as easy to move, so, but hey, each

photographer, as you know, has his, well, his

way of working and, in fact, the backpacks

are a world, because for what a photographer

likes, the other does not, as well as

the cameras, you see that, that is, we

wear, for example, the straps and we do

not wear, for example, the straps or these

things, why?

Because I don't feel comfortable, I feel tied

up, if I throw myself to the ground,

for example, the cameras hit me and I

haven't learned to work with it, so I'm

not going to use it.

Something that I would like to show you

is this little thing here that I carry

and it is from the Lobe Pro brand,

okay?

In which all the cards will go here

and it is perfect.

I assure you that I do not know,

I have no idea how to find this,

we have tried to look for it by

active and passive and we have never found

it.

If I like it, it is because I

always carry the cards with me and I

do not leave the cards in the backpack,

nothing has ever happened, but I know of

colleagues who have stolen the backpack when they

had left it at the ceremony or at

the same reception, so always the cards with

me, always, always, always, okay?

When we did not find this, the closest

thing we found was this from Thin Tank

and it is a very small backpack in

which a few cards fit and also here

it has another hermetic closure in case you

want to put another card, an SD or

whatever, so with which you save yourself a

little health, so that nothing happens to you.

Something else, well, surely not, sure that we

have to work with this, so we have

bought several, I think 4 or 5 and

well, every 8 hours we will change them

to work a little more, well, to make

sure, despite the fact that we have a

couple of printed papers here that say that

we have not passed or that we do

not have COVID now.

I never thought that I would have to

do this to have a wedding, but I

think it is the best, I think that

for photographers, well, for everyone, not only for

photographers, but for businessmen and for all people

who have to travel from my country or

from the countries that you are in to

other countries, I think that the best thing

would be to have a postcard that shows

that two days before you have not passed

or you do not have COVID and also

when you arrive, as we supposedly know that,

well, what is going to happen in Munich,

in which when we arrive they will make

us a perfect PCR, I do not care

that they do it to me as if

they want to make me three, but that

way I can work.

So nothing else, friends, I think I did

not leave anything like that, what I take

with me and that is not here are

the desire, imagine what desire I have to

work, that is, money as it is obvious

is important and in fact at this wedding

it is one of the weddings that paid

us the best because it was not a

wedding that they hired us initially to go

to the Alps of Austria, but it was

a wedding of a couple from Austria who

were getting married in Mallorca, but they have

moved her there, right?

But as you can imagine, what I'm going

to do, I'm dying to work, I'm dying

to feel those previous moments, those previous nerves

of the wedding, damn, money is important, but

work more, that is, I need to feel

that again, to sweat, to get tired, surely

I will get very tired, that is, I

have been exercising since the summer, surely not

having the rhythm I am going to destroy

myself, but I sweat it, I have a

lot of desire and I think I did

not leave almost anything, something that is not

here and that Erika has gone to the

supermarket for a moment to buy things, is

that we always take some energy bars, that

is, for all the weddings, that is, I

mean, this is not to fill the video,

guys, but it is super important, this thing

that we have here always has to be

with sugar and always water, always, always, always,

always and something fundamental for us is that

we are not full, that is, fed up

with the wedding because I do not know

how to work with a very full stomach,

but with food and especially with sugar, that

is, for example, the bars will fall when

I finish, for example, the preparations, always one

so that in the ceremony it is agile

and when I finish the ceremony, two bars

to go super, I mean, for the report,

that is, to be at 100, well, then

we get to the cocktail and although Erika

does not let me, she has it totally

forbidden, some croquette, I put it inside, okay,

but that's it, zero alcohol as is obvious

and little else, so I think she did

not tell me anything, if you have any

doubts, of course, you know that in the

comments, well, well, I always love to answer,

so nothing else, guys, I'm going to get

married, so wish us the best and see

you around with everything, hugs, take care of

each other.
