Huh? Who is this chap?
A traditional news photographer who made New Zealand newspapers a lot less interesting when he went off to capture some of the world’s interesting places with his own vision.
Who are you?
Never mention he is using a GM1 for the shoots .
Am I miss out something here ?
Its The BBC they don’t like you Advertising The GM1 is on the Table next to the Drone.
From 2:42 to 2:48 mins, the camera shown beside the droid was the GM1. Good catch! Admin.
Nice pictures!
Stunning. Love the cathedral in the mist shot on his facebook page. Go GM1!
Amos could make great photos with a disposable camera really. The fact that he uses m4/3 equipment is nice and obviously one of the reasons we’re interested in his work, but it just goes to show equipment doesn’t matter nearly as much as we like to claim sometimes. We all need reminding of that occasionally.
No, he couldn’t. He needs a camera that is good enough for the job. There is a bottom limit on how crappy a camera can be for any different type of photography. m4/3 is good enough for his type of photography.
Thought the interviewer was quite good as well. Informed, engaged, and interested. Good segment.
Whilst this is interesting and the pictures are great, haven’t people been taking pictures from helicopters for years? Yann Arthus-Bertand comes to mind in particular who had a huge exhibition that travelled the world some years ago, link here http://www.atelieryannarthusbertrand.com/fr/9-vu-du-ciel.
Shame the GM1 didn’t get a mention though.
psssssssttttt….you may not know…EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE ALREADY! 🙂
Exactly the point I’m making, and the thrust of this feature is that this is something new and remarkable because it hasn’t been done before…
I think you missed the point he was making
Exactly. Now the only difference is that average person can see those photos easily as 15-20 years ago you couldn’t distribute those easily.
And now a average person can use a wireless remote to trigger camera too.
RC helicopters are not new thing, mounting cameras to those not either. But shooting blindly on film camera was challenge.
I have done this now for 10 years and found out that RC choppers really ain’t the best way in many cases. But it is very cheap and fast way to get something such done. But now the batteries have been improved a lot so we don’t need to use gasoline engines that generates huge noise. But still nothing amazing today what we had decades ago.
Now one reason why I bought E-M1 is its excellent WiFi range and remote control in weather proof body. Small and light that can be flu to couple hundred meters easily or raised ten meter up for controlled shooting etc.
Panasonic GM1 is not even so special in that case, or course each gram less is benefit but it is missing many benefits E-M1 has. If I would need to go now and choose light camera again, it would be a PEN or even GoPro of wanted video instead stills.
Sure that guy has great photos, but again it is about time and place, not about gear so much as long it is up to task.
There are some great shots, though..and a tremendous effort was put in…so hey…I am enjoying it anyway…but it is nothing NEW. Drones are obviously more convenient and less expensive if used a lot…but it is pretty funny…what Amos invented flying…um..check in with the Wright Bros. please. 🙂
Amos is famous for being the first person to say he discovered History.
Way better Drone Videos on my YT Channel (and real helicopter / Jets, etc). Amos, you need to get out more … (and so he did).
Best camera for size and weight – great to see
We all know its sexy has heck. I want to know if it’s true you can seriously pick out 8MP stills from the video. This will make it easier for me to down a six pack from the porch and lazily shoot some video while getting a few keepers. I call it Squirrel-a-vision.
From 4K you can def pick up stills and coming soon it will be even easier. The public is just starting to see what can be done with 4K video. We’re at the very beginning of a new age in photography.
they do alot of great drone stuff already with fhd gear for objects like surf waves like at teahupoo or the surfing scene at California…all printworthy for mags..I guess now with higher modes more demanding objects can be done. just hope it not gets boring when everybody is doing it.
It will be more difficult to find quality work that’s for sure. But it’s not bad imo, expect for people who earn their living from this stuff, need to try even harder to stand out.
I got GH2 off him before, the shutter count is nearly 100,000 click.. 😮
